Remembering things just became much easier. Based on Forgetting Curve, using the SM2 algorithm to repeatedly remind you to review. The goal is to help you remember anything you don't want to forget, such as learning a language or preparing for medical and legal exams, and even your whimsy that you don't want to be obscured by time. You can set questions for card front, then recall the answer according to the question. Your data will be backed up automatically to your iCloud account. That means all your stuff — flashcards, tags, preferences, and more — is safe, up to date, and available on all your devices. You can share notes with other users and invite them to contribute to your notes. Some of Flash Cards' features include: · Backed up by iCloud automatically (supported with iOS 13+) · Sync between multiple devices · Advanced spaced repetition algorithm (SRS), built with Artificial Intelligence (AI) · Able to import data from Anki files (*.apkg, *colpkg, *zip) · Support for organizing notes by tags · Support for adding images, videos, audio, tables, checklists. · Support for inserting, editing, and viewing mathematical equations and formulas. · Support for Speech Synthesis, and listening to your notes in the background. · Support for scanning and inserting documents. · Support for marking up images. · Support for setting font size of the text to make it catch the eye of the reader. · Support for different font families to help differentiate between sections of the content that serve various purposes (e.g. main text and a side quotation or a recap). · Support for both markers (background color) and pens (text color) to make the text stand out even more and draw attention. · Support for advanced text styling features such as subscript, superscript, link and code. · You can embed online video and audio players within notes. · The Code Block feature which allows inserting and embedding syntax color highlighted code snippets into the editor. · Support for finding and replacing any text in the editor easily. · Support for auto formatting which employs Markdown-like inline codes as you type for a faster and more efficient editing workflow. · Handy keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow · Support for Dynamic Type · Support for Live Text.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flash Cards at 4.6 against Flashcards Maker's 3.9. Flash Cards also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flash Cards holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Cards has 1.7K ratings behind it against 253, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Flashcards Maker's written reviews are positive against 55% of Flash Cards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flashcards Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Flash Cards every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
