Study flashcards – without being stuck on the sofa. In RecallRun you run through a colourful world with your character and answer your cards on the way: pick the right lane, run through the matching gate or switch the right circuit. Every correct answer takes you further. LEARNING WITH A SYSTEM RecallRun shows each card again right when you are about to forget it – after 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 30 days. What you know well comes back less often, tricky cards more often. One tap on ▶ starts your deck instantly with your saved settings. THREE WAYS TO LEARN • Runner: answer questions on the run – with lanes, gates and switchboards for questions with up to 8 answers. Swipe up to jump over crates, swipe down to roll. • Focus mode: calm, card by card, with images and read-aloud • Drug table: learn pharmacology at a 3D medication trolley DRUG TABLE – PHARMACOLOGY AS A GAME With "General Pharmacology" you learn drug classes and their drugs: tap packs, drag them into the right bin or type the name. Every drug comes with a fact card on action, use, side effects and a memory hook. 10 topics from antibiotics and cardiovascular drugs to oncology – individually or as a bundle, each with a free demo. YOUR CARDS, YOUR TOPICS • Write your own cards and organise them into topics and subtopics • Import cards: Anki packages (.apkg) including images, spreadsheets (CSV) or simply paste text • Open files straight from the Files app ("Open with") or from an email • Sample decks (flags, capitals, periodic table) to get started right away • Card sets in the Shop: Spanish A1 and a Europe geography quiz YOUR HOME GROWS WITH YOU Every card you learn earns XP – and your home on the floating island grows through 20 stages, from a simple tent to a legendary fortress of knowledge. Spin the island with your finger, zoom in and watch your character. CHARACTERS AND DECOR Unlock new characters with coins and gems – from Remi the fox to the wolf, bunny, otter and bear – and decorate your island with lanterns, flowers, a fountain or floating crystals. MOTIVATION THAT LASTS • Daily streak, daily quests, achievements and statistics show your progress • Game Center: leaderboards for this week's XP and total XP • Weekly review and optional study reminders • Hard mode with lives for those who like a challenge YOUR DATA BELONGS TO YOU No account, no sign-in: your cards and progress stay on your iPhone. Back up to a file, and delete everything in the app at any time. FREE TO PLAY RecallRun is free and supported by ads. A one-time "Ad-free" purchase removes the ads between runs. Optional videos give you double XP, double coins or an extra life. Gems and card sets are optional in-app purchases. Note: The pharmacology card sets are for study purposes only. They are not medical advice and do not replace prescribing information or advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
