NOTEBARS

Features
Read full description

You choose what to remember. NOTEBARS turns it into personal recall cards and shows you when you’ve actually learned it. READ AND TOUCH Read a paragraph and tap the words you want to remember. In seconds, you get ready-made, structured notes — without typing a word. Each paragraph becomes a memory card, with keys on the left and notes on the right. During reviews, you see only the keys and recall the rest. You don’t reread — you test your memory. YOUR OWN CHOICES Two students reading the same text get different cards. The notes are built on what you picked out, not on a generic summary. QUESTIONS BORN FROM YOUR NOTES Review questions are built on the keys you created. With one tap, you can see the paragraph, sentence, or card from which each question originated. KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW You rate your memory before seeing the answer, and again after. Where the difference is large, the question is marked as critical: you thought you knew it. These are the points that will trip you up in an exam. PERFORMANCE-BASED REVIEWS Each review starts with a few questions, and your score determines when the next one comes. No progress is given away for free. TARGETED STUDY You filter what you’ll work on each time: only what you don’t remember well, only what’s important, only what’s difficult, only what you’ve bookmarked, only specific chapters. MEMORY TOOLS Color per paragraph. Memory icons next to your notes. Color inversion for what is critical. Settings for telegraphic or descriptive notes. FOR TEACHERS From iPhone or iPad, you create your own books: split text into chapters and sections, add images and videos, and color in bulk. Your students download the material ready-made. GET STARTED IN TEN SECONDS You jump straight into a training book and download ready-made books: schoolbooks for Primary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary school — History, Biology, Physics, Economics, Geography — as well as personal development, philosophy, and social books. All fully editable, in Greek and English. No need to upload anything.

ParkingAim

Park like you've done it a thousand times. ParkingAim teaches parking the way a seasoned driving instructor does: step by step, with a calm voice beside you, in a living 3D city. Practice until it's second nature, with no one waiting behind you. AN INSTRUCTOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT • Every step short and clear: when to stop, how far to turn the wheel, where to look. • A female or male voice in your language, and an examiner's voice in exams. • The path drawn on the road and a ghost car showing exactly where to stop. • Watch the instructor's demo, practice with the guide, then take the exam on your own. • Every park measured: distance to the curb, angle, centering and moves. WORKED OUT FOR YOUR CAR A hatchback and a limousine don't park the same way. Every lesson is solved for your car's real length, wheelbase and turning circle: where to stop, when to turn, how many turns of the wheel. 20 cars, all to scale. 20 LESSONS The Parking Training course: Fundamentals, Parallel Parking, Perpendicular Parking (with an underground garage full of pillars), Angled Parking and Special Maneuvers (a garage, hills, turning around in a narrow street). Plus 6 Tricky Situations other drivers leave you in: Boxed In, Over the Line, Narrowed Aisle, Blocked Driveway, Boxed In on a Hill and Room for the Door. IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING A real cockpit, side and rear-view mirrors that work, a reversing camera with guide lines, and parking sensors that beep faster as you close in. KNOWLEDGE BASE Mirrors, blind spots, reference points, steering, hills and more: 11 articles, each with a watch-and-learn 3D explainer on your own car. CHALLENGES AND FREE DRIVE • Park of the day: new every day, the same for everyone. • Beat your own record's ghost, match the instructor's moves, stop to the centimeter by eye. • Send a challenge link: your ghost goes with it, for friends to beat. • Free drive: take your car onto the Test Track and park wherever you like. TROPHIES AND FILMS Every exam earns bronze, silver or gold for your own Trophy Museum. Finish the course and the Parking Licence is yours: a practice certificate, not an official driver's license. Share any park as a vertical video with its own music. YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR SIDE OF THE ROAD 11 languages, each with a female and a male instructor. Drive on the left and the whole world mirrors. Metric, UK or US units. On a Mac with Apple silicon you drive with the keyboard, every key shown on screen. Controllers work too. FREE AND PURCHASES Free to start, with nothing that expires: • 5 lessons with their exams: Know Your Car: Front Bumper, Straight Reversing, Parallel Parking, Back-In Perpendicular Parking and Boxed In • The 3 school cars and the whole Knowledge Base • Free drive, and the first lesson at night One-time purchases: • Pro: all 20 lessons with an exam in each, Park of the day, the Aids-off ladder, your own license plate text • Night & Rain: every lesson at night and in the rain • Car packs: City & Off-Road (4 cars), Sports (9), Luxury & Classic (4) • Winter: snow on every lesson you can drive, by day and at night, plus 4 Winter Driving lessons. Buried lines, about three times the braking distance, wheel spin, snow-covered sensors and your tire tracks shown against the ideal path. • Everything: Pro and every pack released so far (Night & Rain, Winter and the three car packs) No subscription, no ads. Every purchase works with Family Sharing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your progress stays on your device. Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in Settings. ParkingAim is practice, so you arrive calmer and better prepared. It isn't an official course: your instructor, your examiner and local rules always come first.
