Spaced Learning

In English and French. Stop forgetting what you read. Fikra is microlearning built on spaced repetition: big ideas on short index cards, explained plainly, each one brought back as a quick question right before it would fade. HOW IT WORKS • Read or listen. One idea per card: a definition in everyday words, often a hand-drawn figure, read aloud by a narrator. • Turn it over. An everyday example, one thing to try, and the idea it is most often confused with. • Remember it. The card comes back tomorrow, then on day 2, 5 and 12, as a quick question. Name it on three different days and it is mastered. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, ONE CARD AT A TIME • Twenty subjects, from psychology and philosophy to economics, science and history. • Paths through cognitive biases, game theory, logic and mental models. • Skills like negotiation and public speaking, and the key ideas of classics like Meditations and The Art of War. • Shorts: a scene from everyday life, three names, one guess. A few a day, then it stops. CALM BY DESIGN • No account, and it works offline. • Your reading and practice stay on your iPhone. • Today’s card on your home screen, with a widget. FREE, OR FIKRA PLUS • Free: one card a day, three Shorts a day, saved cards and collections. • Fikra Plus: all three cards a day, practice, every path, and seven Shorts a day. • Try Fikra Plus free for 7 days on the yearly plan, or 3 days on the monthly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://fikra.pwnera.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://fikra.pwnera.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spaced Learning at none against SyntaxQuest's shown. SyntaxQuest's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
