Flippy is the flashcard app that brings cards back exactly when you're about to forget them. Learn less. Remember more. A STAGE, NOT A FORM Your decks live on a wallet of passes in front of a photo stage — chalkboard, water, sunset, chemistry, space, or your own photo. Glass navigation, paper cards, serif type. Dark, calm, focused. SPACED REPETITION THAT ACTUALLY THINKS Grade every card Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Each card keeps its own ease, its interval stretches as you remember, and a daily session picks what's due plus a few new cards. Memory-strength rings show what's fading. Leeches are flagged before they eat your time. Undo any answer. EIGHT WAYS TO LEARN Today's session · Quick 10 · New cards · Hardest cards · Reverse · Quiz · Write · Match · Cram. Deselect topics you don't want right now. Every session starts with a 3-2-1 countdown and your settings right there. QUIZ — POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE Multiple-choice distractors are written on device: plausible, same style, same topic, never the correct answer paraphrased. Match spreads pairs across the whole screen and races the clock. Write forgives typos. SCAN DOCUMENTS & SLIDES INTO CARDS Photograph pages with the document camera or drop in PDF slides and images. Text is recognized on device, then Apple Intelligence drafts your cards — long slide decks are split into chunks automatically. BRING YOUR CARDS Import Anki decks (.apkg, with images and subdecks), Anki text, Quizlet and Flashcard Hero exports (.flashcards, with images and topics), CSV and TSV. Export any deck or topic as a .flippy file with everything inside — text, photos, drawings, LaTeX and your learning progress. RICH CARDS Photos, PencilKit drawings, LaTeX formulas, cloze deletions, read-aloud in the card's language, scrollable long content. WIDGETS EVERYWHERE Today pass with goal ring and streak · interactive flashcard widget (flip and grade on the Home Screen) · streak & week · 14-day forecast · deck passes · learning modes · Lock Screen and Apple Watch complications · Control Center: start a session or mute today's reminder · a Live Activity keeps your session on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. STATISTICS THAT MOTIVATE Learning score, accuracy and volume trends, activity heatmap, hour × weekday grid, Leitner boxes, memory-strength buckets, forecast, deck health, records and insights — for the week, month, 90 days or the year. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No server, no account. Sync through your own iCloud. A trash keeps deleted decks, topics and cards for 30 days. FREE VS. PREMIUM Free: 2 decks with 2 topics and 40 cards each, every learning mode, statistics, import and export.

Word Routine
Read full descriptionHide full description
¿Cuántas veces has intentado mejorar el vocabulario de inglés y lo has abandonado a las dos semanas? Word Routine funciona de forma diferente. En lugar de largas sesiones de estudio, la app te propone una rutina de 5 minutos al día, aprendes palabras nuevas con todo su contexto (definición, ejemplos, sinónimos y pronunciación) y repasas las que ya conoces para que no se te olviden. — CÓMO FUNCIONA — Cada día la app te presenta un número de palabras nuevas (5 por defecto). Para cada palabra ves: la traducción, la transcripción fonética, ejemplos de uso, sinónimos y antónimos. Decides si ya la conoces o si necesitas aprenderla. Las que decides aprender pasan automáticamente a tu lista de repaso. El repaso usa un sistema de repetición espaciada (SRS), la app sabe cuándo estás a punto de olvidar una palabra y te la muestra justo en ese momento. Así memorizas con el mínimo esfuerzo posible. — 7 MODOS DE REPASO — Para que el repaso nunca sea monótono, la app elige aleatoriamente entre 6 tipos de ejercicios: • Escritura — Escribe la palabra en inglés letra a letra • Pronunciación — Di la palabra en voz alta y la app la reconoce • Opción múltiple — Elige la traducción correcta entre 4 opciones • Escucha y elige — Escucha la pronunciación y selecciona su significado • Boggle — Encuentra la palabra conectando letras en una cuadrícula • Anagrama — Ordena las letras barajadas para formar la palabra — DICCIONARIO PROACTIVO — ¿Has visto una palabra en inglés que no conoces y quieres aprenderla ya? Con el diccionario integrado puedes buscar cualquier palabra de la base de datos, ver su definición completa y añadirla directamente a tu lista de repaso con un solo toque. No tienes que esperar a que la app te la proponga, tú decides qué aprender y cuándo. — GRATIS VS PREMIUM — La versión gratuita te da acceso completo al flujo de aprendizaje: · 5 palabras nuevas al día · 1 sesión de repaso diaria · Todos los modos de repaso · Diccionario completo con búsqueda y añadir al repaso · Estadísticas de progreso · Sincronización con iCloud · Notificaciones de recordatorio Con Premium (compra única, sin suscripción): · Sin límite en el número de repasos diarios · Aprende más de 5 palabras nuevas al día · Estadísticas avanzadas con historial completo · Plan Familiar disponible: comparte el acceso con hasta 5 miembros de tu familia — DISEÑADO PARA HISPANOHABLANTES — Word Routine está pensado para personas cuya lengua materna es el español y quieren mejorar su vocabulario en inglés. Todo el contenido, las instrucciones y la interfaz están en español. — PRIVACIDAD PRIMERO — Word Routine no recopila ningún dato personal. Todo tu progreso, tus palabras y tus estadísticas se guardan únicamente en tu dispositivo (y en tu iCloud personal si activas la sincronización Premium). No hay cuentas, no hay registro, no hay seguimiento. El modo de pronunciación usa el micrófono, pero el reconocimiento de voz se procesa de forma completamente local mediante las APIs nativas de iOS. El audio nunca abandona tu dispositivo, no se vende, y no se usa para entrenar ningún modelo de IA.
