Flashcard Hero

Really great app for studying. I use it study for the CCNA, French, programming, electrical engineering concepts and terms and probably will use it for a whole lot more! If you have a iPhone, you can upload your cards to the icloud and then download icloud on your pc and access the cards anytime on any device. Same thing can be accomplished with Microsoft OneDrive I'm sure. Best part about it though is that it has a simple, user-driven algorithm based on three ratings your give the card (easy, unsure, hard). It makes the practice of repetition way easier. It also has a multiple choice mode that is helpful. There is a lot of customization to the two different modes. Finally, I sent in a request to the developer and he responded very quickly, which is a nice plus!

That’s right Quizlet, eat your heart out. As a graduate student studying physical therapy, I have tried every Flashcard application in an attempt to optimize my studying. Flashcard Hero has consistently come out on top. With their most recent update, I can use the “tab” and arrow keys on my keyboard when using my iPad. This has made making cards significantly faster. It should be noted, Quizlet does NOT support such features. I can also seamlessly import photos into my cards for no extra charge (again, I’m looking at you, Quizlet). This application is helping me pass my graduate classes and I could not be more pleased with the improvements they’ve made over the last year. Keep it up, Flashcard Hero!

I bought Flashcard Hero to prep for my APR exam. It was the first test I'd taken since college. I was never a flashcard person, but I couldn't bring myself to study from a giant PDF. This program and its desktop component made all the difference. After I turned the study guide into a series of flashcards, I turned those moments of micro-boredom on the train, waiting in a line, etc. into multiple choice moments. The program offers an impressive range of features for the modest price. I used them all -- even the remote control option! It prevented studying from feeling like a burdonsome chore, and I passed the exam on the first try.

This app is great and has been a great resource and very helpful. I did take off one star however because I wish a couple things were different. For one I wish that when I switch the colors of the font I did not have to change it every single time, instead of it carrying over until I change it back. That takes up too much time. Also, I wish there was an easier way to go in to making a new card. I do this from my iPad but clicking (+) every time is annoying. Yes it only take 1/2 second to click it but its still something that could be changed. This app has some serious potential though. But it wasn’t free so I feel there should be more offered on it. Thanks!

I bought the app for my phone and computer. I love how simple and effective they are. Making sets of cards is very easy, organizing or moving cards between sets is easy, and best of all everything syncs between my phone and computer. I do all the card setup and creation on the computer where it’s more convenient. It’s simple making quick edits on the phone if necessary. Then I can study on either platform and it keeps track of my progress. I feel like I’ve done much better with memorization since I started using this app. Definitely recommended, worth the money!
