ReviCard uses the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to schedule each review for you, with a calendar and progress view that make today’s tasks and remaining work easy to follow. Card creation is flexible. Photograph a question you missed and it becomes the card front in seconds—a convenient way to build a mistake notebook. Vocabulary cards also support a listening-question mode. Forgotten cards restart; missed reviews roll into today, so your plan stays visible and manageable. FEATURES • Ebbinghaus spaced review: new cards are studied the day you create them, then scheduled at intervals such as 1, 3, 7, 15, and 30 days. Remembered cards move forward; forgotten cards restart • Calendar plan: pending, remembered, forgotten, and overdue items are shown by day • Progress tracking: streaks and review stats help you follow how learning is going • Photo cards: take a picture or pick from your library to capture a question or answer • Listening mode: vocabulary cards can be set as listening exercises FREE TO USE • Custom cards for words, sentences, and mistakes, plus one-tap English↔Chinese lookup from a built-in offline dictionary • Today’s Review (the only place answers are submitted) and a calendar plan • Daily review reminders • Browse exam word lists and study stats REVICARD PRO • Auto-add new words from exam lists: Zhongkao, Gaokao, Kaoyan, CET-4, CET-6, TOEFL, IELTS, and GRE • Multiple exam lists can run at once, each with its own daily new-word target • Forgotten words take up new-word slots, keeping the load manageable • iCloud sync for cards, plans, and images (iCloud account required) Exam lists are compiled from the built-in offline dictionary by study tags.
