EddyStudy is a powerful tool to build your vocabulary or to memorize and study anything. Multiple-Choice: Create multiple-choice flashcards & question-answer flashcards. Image & audio files: Add multiple images and sound files to the question & answer (and also multiple-choice answers) of your flashcards. You can either select image or audio files from your phone or take photos and record audio directly from within the app. Folders: Organize your flashcards with folders and subfolders. You could for example create a folder called Languages and two subfolders called Spanish and French. You can then study one of the subfolders (Spanish or French) or the whole Languages folder where all of the flashcards of Spanish and French are randomly mixed together. Drag-and-drop: Sort your folders, flashcards, multiple-choice answers and attached media items easily via drag-and-drop. Backups: Create and restore backups of all of your flashcards. Free vs. Pro: You can create up to 50 flashcards with the free version of the app. Other than that there are no limitations. If more flashcards are needed you can unlock the Pro version for a small one-time-payment from within the app. After that you can create an unlimited number of flashcards. If you have suggestions for improvement, please let me know so that I can work on updates. You can send me an email for this purpose (mail@eddystudy.com).
