Don't believe me? It's free to try MovieMethod Yes! You can review and learn from your own deck when offline. But to add new cards to your deck you'll need to be online. Can I switch devices and everything will be synced? Yep! When you return to the main screen the app will always sync to our servers. You'll see a green dot when it's synced, yellow when it hasn't synced and red when it hasn't synced for more than 1 day. Make sure you see the green dot before switching devices. The app is not designed for frequent switching. It's better to study on just one device so the app can cache clips to your device and everything will load faster. *** Testimonials *** "Using MovieMethod is addictive, it has replaced playing games for me." - user "It feels like I’m downloading the language into my brain! I'm learning 30 new words a day and it's effortless." - user "Before finding MovieMethod I was using an online language school which cost me about 10x more each month.
