Audio Flashcards lets you study without looking at a screen. Each card is a short recording of a question and its answer. You listen to the question, think of the answer, then listen to the answer to check yourself. Grade how well you knew it, and spaced repetition decides when the card comes back. It works anywhere you can listen: on a walk, in the car, at the gym or while cooking. Use it to learn a language, build vocabulary, prepare for an exam, or memorize anything you need to know. Review hands-free Turn on autoplay and each card plays by itself, with a pause you choose before the answer. Grade cards and move between them with voice commands, in your own language. On iPhone you can also grade from the Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island, and your headphone and car controls work too. Create cards in minutes Record the question and the answer in your own voice, then trim or fix any part of the recording. Prefer typing? Choose a voice to read your text aloud: the voices built into your device, natural Kokoro voices that run offline, or Amazon Polly and OpenAI through your own account. You can also import a spreadsheet or a folder of audio files. Spaced repetition that fits you Audio Flashcards schedules reviews with FSRS, a modern spaced repetition algorithm. Grade each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy, choose how much you want to remember, and the app plans every review for you. Practice sessions let you study ahead without changing your schedule, and statistics show your progress and streak. Your cards on every device Organize cards into folders, each with its own settings. Transcribe your recordings and search the words you said. iCloud keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac in sync, and the Mac app has a sidebar, menus and keyboard shortcuts. Shared Cards Browse collections made by other learners, listen before you download, and keep your progress when a collection is updated. Publish your own for everyone, or share it privately with a link. Free to use Audio Flashcards is free with ads on iPhone and iPad. A subscription or a one-time purchase removes them, and the Mac app has no ads. Cloud voices use your own provider account. Questions or ideas? Contact me in the app under Settings > Contact.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lingua Verbum at none against Audio Flashcards App's shown. Audio Flashcards App's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (59 vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Audio Flashcards App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Lingua Verbum sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lingua Verbum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Flashcards App has 59 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Audio Flashcards App's written reviews are positive against 67% of Lingua Verbum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Audio Flashcards App ships an update every 10 days, Lingua Verbum every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
