## What is Stack Guru?

Become Mnemonica stack guru! Select how and what to practice, schedule reminders and practice directly on your wrist using Apple Watch - all with dark mode support!

WHY
While studying Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz, I started to look for an app to serve me as a learning tool. I wanted the app to automatically remind me to practice as well as being able to quickly practice on my Apple Watch (preferably with an complication displaying some daily progress). Unfortunately I did not find what I was looking for and decided to implement the app myself. This app became Stack Guru.

CUSTOMIZE
Practice parts of the stack, or the whole stack - you decide!
Create your custom practice experience by combining practice modes such as Card to Number, Number to Card, What Comes After, What Comes Before or ACAAN, together with selected parts of the stack. This let you either focus on cementing the basics or perfecting your existing knowledge and master the stack.

REMINDER
Repetition is the mother of all learning.
Stack Guru can help you both memorize and to keep the stack fresh in memory. Simply set reminders and let the app notify when to have a quick practice session. Like your own personal stack trainer.

APPLE WATCH
Having the tool directly on your wrist makes it super easy to take a short break and focus on the stack. Anywhere and anytime! Use the complication to get the progress of your daily goal and have a quick practice session only a tap away.

SECURE AND PRIVATE
Practice result data stored online is stored using Apple CloudKit (iCloud) to keep the data secure and private to you. The private database data is accessible only by you. When Stack Guru is used offline, the data is temporarily saved on the device to be synchronized and removed later, when the app is back online.

## Key features

- Customizable practice modes
- Scheduled practice reminders
- Apple Watch integration

### 5/5 — Excellent Trainer

*2025-02-20*

Great app! Works beautifully also on Apple Watch. The option to practice different associations (position, sequence, ACAAN) is super helpful!

### 5/5 — Elegant app!

*2023-05-20, version 1.3*

Beautiful modern aide for learning. And gorgeous descriptive journey into the realm of truly large numbers. Sisyphean stuff!

### 4/5 — A good trainer, but could use a few things.

*2023-05-13*

I like the app, but I wish it would let you use flash cards, in order, to see what the deck looks like instead of the grid format. I also don’t like that it shows cards like ♦️7, instead of the preferred 7 ♦️. Overall, a good trainer. I will continue to use it, but if they added and changed those things that would be amazing!

### 5/5 — Superb Tool to Master Mnemonica!

*2023-03-09, version 1.3*

What a little gem of an app. I really hope the developer continues to support updates. The only reason I haven’t updated to ios16 is that I’m bothered this app might not work anymore!  Years ago I made my own video to practice this, but this makes it so much easier. Highly recommended!!

### 5/5 — The right tool for the job...

*2020-05-05*

This is the perfect app for upping your Mnemonica game. I really like the customization setting that allow me to work on specific goals and modify them as my skill improves.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! As always, please contact me if you find any missing features or bugs 🙂
