ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Cards Flashcards Maker has 18K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Flash Cards Flashcards Maker's written reviews are positive against 72% of SwiftCard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker ships an update every 9 days, SwiftCard every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
