Keeps hassling me to sync, but that doesn’t work

The app should work as expected and not have bugs. That is all.

Worthless

I paid $9.99 to learn Spanish vocabulary. When I opened the app I had to create a Brainscape account. I don’t want anything from Brainscape. I could never get back to vocabulary app. I want my money back.

Dont waste your money. This is confusing and usless.

I want a refund. The app is not user friendly. Dont waste your money.

Fix The Audio

The app is great, but the Audio doesn’t work. Can you please fix this?
BrianHoyerBrianHoyer

Great method. No fluff. Quick and effective.

Really like this flash card app. I typically use paper flashcards but find it cumbersome in that they are not always near me when I am in the mood to study. This is available all the time and excellent at testing you again and again until you get it. Best apps so far!
