Hi! My name is James Rogers. I’m a university professor with over 10 years teaching experience, and have used my PhD research and discoveries made by my over 30 member research team to provide learners with resources to help make language learning more efficient. I hope that you find them useful on your journey learning a foreign language. This flashcard app will help Japanese learners master general English. It teaches the most common collocations of English in the form of phrases. Included are over 3,000 phrases taken from the app English Master 10,000, each with an example sentence, with each phrase and sentence translated into Japanese. A 13 member research team took over 3 years to create these contents. Only items which half or more of the phrase are said in a different way than the English were selected. Thus, students can concentrate on only items which are difficult to learn. Audio for all the contents is included as well. Also included is a custom quiz function which you can use and send your results to your teacher with via email. This app also automatically sends all items you miss often to a special “difficult cards” folder to make it easy for you to concentrate on them. What’s more is it features one of the most advanced Leitner algorithms on the market to help you learn more efficiently: you mark items you don’t know wrong and they come back more often, giving you the necessary exposure to master them. Items you mark correct don’t come back as often, so you don’t have to waste your time with items you already know. This method is proven by linguistics research to be the most ideal way to learn. We hope our app helps you improve your English!

AmberCue is a simple timer designed for classes, academic presentations, lectures, and seminars. Set your presentation time and place Cues wherever you want to be notified along the way. When a Cue is reached, AmberCue lets you know with light, sound, and haptic feedback on iPhone. For example, for a 15-minute presentation followed by 3 minutes of Q&A, you can set a preliminary Cue at 10 minutes, the main Cue at 15 minutes, and a final Cue at 18 minutes. 【Everything you need at a glance】 A large, simple display makes it easy to keep track of time while presenting. Tap the time to switch between remaining and elapsed time. Once the standard time has passed, AmberCue clearly shows how long the presentation has run over. 【Set Cues for important moments】 In addition to the standard time, you can set up to four Cues before or after it. When a Cue is reached, AmberCue can notify you with light, sound, and haptic feedback, so you can stay aware of important time points without constantly checking the clock. 【Save your favorite setups】 Save frequently used timer setups as Presets for classes, presentations, lectures, and other situations. Your usual setup is ready whenever you need it. 【Portrait or landscape】 AmberCue works on both iPhone and iPad. Portrait mode provides a visual overview of your progress, while landscape mode emphasizes a large, highly visible time display. It can also be used by moderators or session chairs to show speakers how much time they have left. 【Key Features】 • Standard time plus multiple Cues • Remaining / elapsed time display • Overtime display • Visual Cue notifications • Three Cue sounds • Haptic feedback on iPhone • Save frequently used setups as Presets • Portrait and landscape modes • iPhone and iPad support • No ads • No in-app purchases For classes, academic presentations, lectures, seminars, and anywhere else you need to keep a talk on time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AmberCue at none against 英語マスター3千's 1. 英語マスター3千's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
