### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2025-12-27*

Best memorized deck app out there!

### 1/5 — Does not WORK !

*2014-08-18, version 1.4*

OK, installed the app, tried to open and all I get is green screen.
Have IOS 5. whatever (which is supposed to do it) .
Went to developer's site, no way to ask for help, no way to ask question or contact developer......I got burned!

### 4/5 — Please update

*2013-12-30*

Still a great app, but it'd be nice to see an update for ios7. The small buttons are a little hard to press and the card pictures are getting partially cut off now.

### 3/5 — Review

*2012-10-16, version 1.3.3*

Generally very good but the buttons are too small and sometimes say you have the wrong card.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2012-08-30*

I purchased this app, hoping to use it to learn a memorised deck.
Good:
The ability to add stacked decks of your choice.
Bad:
1. You must ALREADY know the whole deck order, before you get the benefit from this app. This app only allows testing of the whole deck. If you are trying to learn cards 1 - 10, then you will be tested on ALL the cards, not just the cards you have learnt thus far. This means that 80% of the time, you will be tested on cards that you have not yet learnt. This is very frustrating, and a waste of time.
2. There is no way to contact the developer to ask for changes or additions to the program.

I think that this will be a good app, to test, and refresh your memory of an already learnt stack. It is not so good for the initial learning stages, when you only have learnt part of the deck (so far).

### 5/5 — A solid app, but no way to contact the developer

*2012-01-22*

The app is solid, but there are a few suggestions that I would like to submit to the developer. Since I cannot find a contact method on their website, I'll list them here:

• Have the major decks (Tamariz, Aronson, Osterlind) already in the app.

• Add a setting that allows the user to run through the deck a set number of times. Currently the decks can be run through indefinitely. I'd like to be able to set a number of times (for example, like two or three) that I run through the deck, and when that number is completed (104 cards for two, 156 cards for three, etc.), the session is completed.

Thanks for listening, and please add a contact method to your websites.

### 3/5 — Okay but...

*2011-05-24, version 1.3*

Good features, but doesn't generate a random deck for you. You actually have to manually define decks card by
card, random or otherwise :/

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2010-09-21*

Great App! Very customizable and easy to use. Would be great to have a few basic stacks already imputed in. Also would be nice to have an option to just run through the stack 1 - 52 only and then tell you the stats. Not just keep on cycling through the card. But the statistics part of this program is very nice and helpful. One of the best i have found so far. Most of the others are just garbage. Love this app! Thanks

### 5/5 — Great for the right people

*2010-07-03*

This is not something for people who are not familiar with mem/stacked deck work but if you are then it's great.  I really love that there is an app that is this specific toward a targeted purpose.  I would encourage others to develop apps like this so that people who are passionate about something can take it to the next level.  Well Done Kelvin.

### 4/5 — Thank you for this wonderful app.

*2010-05-12*

Great app. Great update. The only thing I would love for this app is if you could choose the amount that you could practice and which segment. eg. Cards 1-10 or 25-30.
