Stego Study

Read full description

Stego turns your notes into flashcards, then into a test you can actually sit. Build a deck, study it, and when you are ready, generate a practice test from the same material. You decide the shape of it: how many write-in questions, how many true/false, how many matching blocks, and how much of the deck to draw from. STUDY • Tap to flip, swipe to move through the deck • Shuffle, or work in order • Mark cards as known or needing review, then drill only the ones you missed • Go front to back, back to front, or mixed TEST • Write-in, true/false, and matching questions • Choose exactly how many of each, and what share of the deck to cover • Matching blocks are built so only one arrangement is correct • Small typos are forgiven on written answers, and you can list alternative answers separated by a semicolon • Partial credit on matching, plus a full review of everything you missed YOUR DECKS • Decks sync across your devices with iCloud • Import and export decks as plain JSON files • No account, no ads, no tracking

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stego Study at none against Imprint's 24. Stego Study also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Imprint's advantage is chart position (#7 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
