Studies — Premium Flashcards Reviews

by Aqtgamer

There’s now a problem and I’m unable to search and import from Quizlet. Since this was the main reason I paid for StudiesPremiumFlashcards , I have to give it 1 star. I’ve emailed once and posted on their support forum. Neither have brought a response from support yet. If this was corrected, this would be a 5star app.

Using the iCloud sync option between my Mac and iPhone never wants to work it’s really frustrating.

Response to Developer:
I have contacted you guys about the issue and got the same tips that you mentioned. I have also tried those tips with very little success. Performing the full reset takes HOURS, so I try to avoid that as much as possible. StudiesPremiumFlashcards worked better when it was Mental Case.

when I want to find my single note in stack of note and I just find a location of it, not a specific note that I want.
Plus, I want to move a stack of notes to a group of stacks, but I can't.
I can not export the Anki file correctly. And also, I can't smoothly review my notes.

I’ve been using the desktop and iOS apps for years now. At some point, I stopped seeing notifications, and StudiesPremiumFlashcards badge with the current number of notes due to be studied disappeared, I imagine due to OS changes? StudiesPremiumFlashcards does not seem to be under active development or maintenance anymore.

I so wanted to like Studies. It looked beautiful and was easy to use. Unfortunately, it failed miserably. After two instances when StudiesPremiumFlashcards stopped syncing with my desktop app, I gave up when it failed to sync for the third time and actually resulted in deleted cards! I'm now moving my 2000+ cards to Anki. Painful, but less painful than losing my data a 4th time.

I think StudiesPremiumFlashcards would work great, but for some reason I can’t end my study session. It just shows a pie chart of the % of cards correct/wrong...rather frustrating! Perhaps it is user error though.

I would give StudiesPremiumFlashcards four or five stars if it worked right. As it is right now, I am getting the same issue as another user: when I finish studying my due notes, it shows me a pie chart but I can’t exit the study session or review the ones I got wrong. I have to force quit, which wouldn’t be so bad except it doesn’t prompt me to review the ones I got wrong, they just seem to count as studied.

Looks like a great app that almost meets my needs and is much simpler than Flashcard Deluxe (another great app but which is far too complex, even for power users). However, I can't understand why there are no custom import options. This is a deal breaker for me.

Response to Developer: Really? Sorry I missed it. I thought you only supported Quizlet. I'm just after CSV import. I will take another look.

I’ve been using Mental Case for years, but the iCloud sync just has never worked very well... I always opted for syncing via Dropbox which worked wonderfully every time. Now with studies they only offer iCloud sync, which even if it has improved, I can’t really use on my school-provided-iPad because I have to use my school iCloud email on this iPad where as on my own personal computer where I more easily create my flash cards, I am signed into my own personal iCloud account. The trouble with iCloud sign ins, is you can’t sign into different apps with different iCloud accounts. So there is no way for me to sync my flash cards on my personal computer onto my school iPad. And even exporting to GDrive or to email, won’t allow me to actually open my exported files on my school iPad. So this is just frustrating.

I’m currently studying to be an electrical engineer. I was looking for a good flash card app that would allow me to create flash cards on any of my devices, as well as study on any of them without always having an internet connection. I use it on an iPhone 6s+, an iPad Pro, a MacBook Pro, and a Mac mini. What I like most about it is having my flash cards with me everywhere I am, whether that be sitting in a doctor’s office, studying at the library, or sitting at home at my desk. Believe me, my stack of notecards had gotten too large to carry around! I just purchased the writing tool for use on my iPad Pro and was a little disappointed in the response with the Apple Pencil. I decided to try a regular stylus instead and had even worse luck. My finger works great! Unfortunately, I don’t write or draw well with my finger, and I want to be able to get the flash cards for my high level math classes to look right. I have had StudiesPremiumFlashcards for about a year now, and I can definitely say the developer is working to get things right. I recommend it to all my classmates who have Apple devices. I hope better Apple Pencil support is coming soon... With iOS 11, I think a lot more students are going to be using iPad Pros, and this could easily become the best app out there for this purpose!

Fantastic app - beautifully organized and a pleasure to use. However the paid drawing add on is very glitchy - does not seem to have full Apple Pencil support and drawings end up very crude. App also crashes very regularly (once an hour for me). Nonetheless this is the best iOS flash card app out there in my opinion -- would be perfect if they add improve the drawings / pencil support (would love the option to hand write flash cards instead of type) and increase the stability.

I am studying medicine. Many of my slides have a lot of information. I can’t zoom into the answer to read text better. Also, I can’t change the orientation when using StudiesPremiumFlashcards . I have to rotate many diagrams so they fit better in the answer. Superscript and subscript buttons in the toolbar are really needed.

Regarding zooming in text, I really dislike the facet feature as a solution. Just let me enter the information and zoom into it. I don’t have a lot of time to invest in making study guides and adding extra steps to make something readable will not work for me.

So, I recommend it but it really needs a few basic features to make StudiesPremiumFlashcards knock it out the park.

by Drakcm

Using multiple facets per card; being able to draw an image or import from Dropbox or import and then draw on it... these are my favorite features :-) fantastic flexibility!

by Ijudy

StudiesPremiumFlashcards is very versatile. It provides good documentation and the developer is responsive Is you ever have questions.

by Manoon88

Essential for my progress learning Spanish. Whenever standing in line, I am studying my flash cards. TV sports time out or commercial break? I can be studying my flash cards.

by Louisiana Rain

Great features and functionality. Syncs easily across all of my devices. I create flashcards on my laptop and sync to my phone for several studying on the go. Well worth purchasing.

by Ccrayl

Comprehensive, advanced studying, everything but the kitchen sink.

Recommend.

by Bentford

Great study app. Huge plus for the iCloud syncing that just works. (Plus, I know my data is privately stored unlike other apps).

I’m using this for spaced repetition learning for several topics and having great results.

Another plus is option to use the desktop app on MacOS.

by Donjovi

Great tool. Developer is super responsive. I am an old man getting smarter.

Making a sophisticated Flash card app that pleases everyone is no small endeavor.

Studies is a professional workhorse for people serious about memorizing information that comes in a variety of schemas. Its configuration and weighting of learned vs unlearned material and its ability to work on any device makes for a solid product you can depend on for your studies.

by Michaeldwilson

StudiesPremiumFlashcards offers ease and flexibility that makes language learning pleasant, effective, and portable. The interface allows users to study each card slowly and thoroughly or allows users to review large amounts of information quickly. Users can easily set aside difficult words to study at a later time. StudiesPremiumFlashcards efficiently and accurately imports hundreds of cards from an excel file in Dropbox. Overall, an A+.

by Pfunk4billion

I like to be able to make a new stack and go through it repeatedly, even if I "answer" correctly a few times. StudiesPremiumFlashcards allows for that without any hassle or typing tags, etc. There are many options available but for someone who simply likes to use two sided flashcards, quiz myself on both sides, and decide when I want to review, StudiesPremiumFlashcards does the trick.

How does StudiesPremiumFlashcards not show up in the flashcard search results?
