Flash Cards Reviews

I bought the full version of this. However it’s not showing the full. Version on my iPad. Can’t contact developer because their website is in Chinese.
PLease someone help

Don’t get me wrong. This is my favorite app for flash cards.

Good things: Import from Anki style apps. Automatically speaks flash cards. Graduated recall. The Japanese voice is pretty good, even though I did have to tweak spellings to get sounds correct sometimes.

But these 3 things bring it down from “favorite by far” to “no audio? no thanks.”

1. App support doesn’t exist.

Neither FlashCards ’s nor app store’s support/issues links or contacts will respond. Messages fly in to the void never to be seen again. FlashCards store’s link opens a page in Chinese that has no actual content, even after running through translation.

2. iCloud and your phone don’t show backups.

FlashCards claims to backup on iCloud but there is no backup on iCloud or on your phone. There is no way to log into iCloud from FlashCards . And from 1. above, there is no way to contact the developer to tell them about this issue.

3. There is no way to export cards.

So you have 3000 cards? If you wanna go to a different app, you’re going to have to make them all again.

In conclusion, I might go back to a different app, even though I won’t have the audio part that I really wanted AND I will have to remake a bunch of cards.

When you “share” a deck, only the first card will show up for the other person. It’s incredibly frustrating. Not worth using when there are a ton of other apps that allow you to share

I like this for note taking but have not been able to use the color or text editing and this has been enormously frustrating

From FlashCards Store pictures I thought FlashCards is capable of handwriting notes using a compatible stylus for your particular device .A litttle disappointed it was not .would have given five stars otherwise .

FlashCards is great but every time you get a notification the information you on the back of the card is in the notification.
You are supposed to be tested to see if you remember the back not given the answer when it is time for the test.

You have to buy pro both on mobile and desktop even though the desktop version is meant to sync to your phone. It seems silly, and if I hadn’t made a bunch of cards yesterday before I found out, I would’ve found another app to use.

This has been helpful but I’m unable to restore the purchase I’ve made for the desktop app. I also haven’t been able to import cards. And it would be great if the UX design could be updated to be friendlier for those like myself who find the customization features difficult to use. There isn’t a description or tutorial on how to use the features so i haven’t been able to customize FlashCards for the benefit of my learning experience.

I should have read the other reviews before I purchased but, FlashCards is not supported by the Anki ecosystem. You cannot export your cards. You are stuck. Other than that, very nice app.

I've been using FlashCards for three years now and I'm generally satisfied with it. However, one thing that has always bothered me is that I cannot export my data and save it to my own local storage

FlashCards is awesome, but one problem is anytime you need to use the keyboard there's no obvious way to bring the keyboard down and stop typing to click on something else.
There's also no way to export or download your deck or any cards

The only complaint I have is that FlashCards crashes unexpectedly (like at least once a day) on my computer and sometimes I lose my work. On the bright side, I upgraded to Pro to be able to add pictures and stuff to my this app, so I can better visualize the information I am studying and I love that. I can also organize my this app by tagging each into a category, and I can choose to review the cards based on the tags I assigned them. I also really like that my data syncs on all my devices.

Hi, I really appreciate your application, I’m a medical student. This is so good for me. But i want to get the upgrade version, and my country (iran) is economically a mess! I can’t afford the payment. Please help me🥺

Anyone experiencing this same problem? App tells me to update but there is no update available

As an adult learner studying a language as a hobby, FlashCards is far better than any other I have tried because of the way cards that you have already learned will return after a set number of days - even when you feel you have learned a word/concept solidly, seeing the card again in 30 days or 3 months is a great way to review/refresh/remind yourself and you may surprise yourself with what you have forgotten - unlike other programs where once you have “learned” a card, you may not see it again. Additionally, the automatic recycling of the cards is very encouraging to study everyday because otherwise they start to build up, and completing your list of cards each day is very satisfying. Almost all the settings are personalizable (such as how long until you see cards again, audio settings, card appearance, etc). There is a bit of a learning curve when setting the time-lapse setting, but overall FlashCards is easy to use and feels quality. I have given FlashCards a five star review because FlashCards is the best flashcard app I have ever used, especially for self-studying without grades or a class to motivate daily study. If you truly want to learn, this is the best. HOWEVER, I have one significant complaint that I hope will be fixed in a new version - it is not possible to flip cards to study back-to-front or front-to-back. This is essential as it is a different skill to go from your native language to the foreign one, or vice versa, and both ways are essential and require practice. Please fix this!!!

Thank you for not harvesting my info like every other one of these! Well-made app, very responsive and easy to use. Has just the right number of features.

So disappointed that I wasted money on this weak app. Should have gotten Ankiweb.

The simple design allows you to focus on the content you are trying to retain & explore. Effective with the timed study reminders. Efficient & informed is what you will be after you use FlashCards.

There is no way to export cards !!!!

It is the best stand alone flash card app, I love it and use it every day, but the catch being that it is a stand alone app, there isn’t a computer version, so it would be a pain if I didn’t have a Bluetooth keyboard, but I do have one so it’s no biggy. There are only two things I want, a monthly version to ensure the servers will stay up and a web app
