### 3/5 — Annoying pending message bug

*2026-08-22*

The app works well overall, but there is a persistent issue with a pending message that keeps appearing on the screen. This notification blocks the user from reviewing the cards and significantly slows down the experience. In many cases, the user is forced to quit the app entirely. Fixing this delay would greatly improve usability.

### 3/5 — Dark icon please

*2026-05-14, version 1.21.11*

Good app, but no dark icon in 2026 :/ Should be really simple too: black background, muted leaf green

### 5/5 — Small bugs

*2026-04-25, version 1.21.8*

Hi Your app is great and I am willing to pay premium as well if it supports your work and is reasonable price, I am learning german but when I add new cards it gets automatically reset for the day it repeats same thing I learned 30 minutes ago and in same sorting patern.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-19, version 1.21.8*

Great now !

### 4/5 — Perfect!

*2026-04-15, version 1.21.5*

I’m giving 4 stars because this app does not scale well on iPad and it’s not possible to scale left menu by settings anyhow. I understand that this might be design but for me some UI elements are too small and I  have problems with clicking them. I would be grateful if that could be adjustable. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Danke dir

*2026-04-11, version 1.21.5*

Thank you

### 4/5 — Offline mode

*2026-03-11*

Everything is great, except for the fact that it does not work offline. I cannot log in for some reason, it just doesnt send any token to my email, though it should for verification purposes, so that i can use my email to save data. Would really appreciate it being fixed!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-03-01*

Great app for language learning. I love that the paid version (worth the expense) allows you to add audio by highlighting the phrase or word and sliding the scroll bar over to “speech.” This is much better than Anki and slightly more user friendly. Mochi is not without a slight learning curve, but totally worth it. I wish that you could set your decks to scroll through the cards without you having to manually click from card to card. Then I could easily review materials while driving. The app is pretty great though.

### 5/5 — Perfect for learning Chinese

*2026-02-05*

Simple, no ads, and you can easily make cards with more than 2 sides! It’s perfect for learning Chinese characters + pinyin + meaning. Has a nice folder and deck organization system, gives you stats on your review session, and works offline. You can also add photos and make cards that reveal parts of an image. Love it!

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-02-04, version 1.20.8*

Best flashcard app ever!!!
