SmartList Flashcards

I originally created it because I wanted a flashcard app that was easy for me to use. The “SmartList” in the app’s name is a feature for saving study conditions. - Customize which cards are selected for each study session - Study the same flashcard data in several different ways The following study modes are available: - Flashcard: Look at the front, reveal the back, and grade yourself—the standard flashcard experience - Arrange: Reassemble a sentence from words presented separately - Typing: Study while practicing typing; requires an external keyboard - Initial Typing: Type only the first letter of each word to develop a feel for the sentence’s flow and rhythm
