Brainscape works by personalizing the TIMING of each flashcard repetition, using proven cognitive science. Whether you’re learning a language, preparing for a test, or just acquiring some fun trivia, Brainscape spaces the repetition of each bite-sized concept based on exactly the right interval for YOUR brain.
All you have to do is rate how well you know each concept, on a scale of 1-5, and Brainscape determines the right time to quiz you again. It's strangely addicting and is scientifically proven to slash your required study time.
So where do all of Brainscape’s great flashcards come from? Three places:
THE WORLD’S TOP EXPERTS. Brainscape partners with top publishers, schools, and educators to create flashcards for subjects as diverse as Foreign Languages, MCAT, Music Theory, SAT prep, AP Exams, Series 7 prep, and Sports Trivia.
YOUR PEERS. Top students, professors, teachers, and businesses around the world have created over 1 million subjects that are available to search on our Marketplace.
YOU! You can easily create multimedia flashcards very easily both on Brainscape’s website AND within the app itself. You can also share your decks with your classmates and collaboratively develop content together.
Creating, sharing, and finding great user-generated flashcards is FREE. And Brainscape's new Pro subscription option gives you access to unlimited premium content AND premium features such as bookmarks, browse mode, card reversibility, an ad-free flashcard creation experience, and a bunch of new features coming in later versions.

Okay
booljrth
It’s kind of a rip off. You can hardly do anything without updating to pro which is really expensive. -sad customer ☹️
Terrible website
ruo wu
I registered and I payed with Apple Pay. Because I want to unlock the study set. But I couldn’t never unlock anyone of those. Then I try to update my plan again, then it told me I am already Subscribed member! I never know what to do!
Don’t white wash history
Lachelleluve
Please review the language used in the United States history. When I say white washed, I mean it is not saying the brutality of American history. Slavery and rape of native Americans that caused disease. The taking of native land and the relocation of native Americans in small reservations, the United States government thinks it was a “fair trade”. The removal of people from their homeland and brought here on boats, lots of those people died in said boats. The ones that didn’t die were in for 400 longs years of fighting and death, racism and more death. Everyone and anyone who wants to educate themselves deserves nothing but the truth no matter how brutal it is.
Requires Facebook
Memyself123
This app requires Facebook to connect with other users which is madness. This renders the app useless to me. And now they have my email address. Awesome.
French/geography
Runedigger
Very effective. I purchased the lifetime subscription. I’m 69, and I’m able to assimilate in this format. Well done.
Anatomy flash cards
Tarczan
I would just like a simple app that allows me to study for anatomy. This requires knowing what is in the pictures, and this app does not allow you to add pictures to the flash cards. It comes up with an error saying you have to do it on their website.
Perfect
Reverend Onyx
Right now I’m currently attending a high school, in the Jrotc, I was informed about a way to prepare for the ACT and ASVAB. I decided to take them up on the offer and went to the website, since I don’t have a computer and have to use a mobile device I had to use the app. On to the point it’s easy to navigate and the questions don’t seem random and actually have structure like the real ACT. I won’t have to take the ACT for another two years as I’m currently a freshman but I do have experience with the ACT, which allows me to say definitely use this app. I shouldn’t even have to mention that the sight I used is technically a navy owned sight, which means if the military is willing to bet on this then you should too. Edit: Forgot to mention some cards have cut off sentences making them impossible to be done correct making them what I call “freebies.” As in there’s nothing to do but skip.
Foreign languages are so much easier now
kringle777
I have tried a ton of methods for learning foreign languages over the years — audio only, grammar intensive, books, audiobooks, videos, computer apps, etc. They all have their little gimmick — no studying, guided situations, games, etc. And at the end of the day, the simple flashcard method (with audio) works the best at having things to say in the moment you need it and at the tip of your tongue. Brainscape takes it further by offering curated professional flash cards courses for Spanish and French, plus smaller subsets of offerings (like verbs only or nouns only) for other languages like Mandarin or Italian. I wish they had entire courses in all the popular languages, because their method works best. It really does. Their method of progressive training, interval recall, and 5-level self scoring quite well at getting you to recall words and phrases. Plus I can create my own sets of flash cards and hook audio or picture content to them. All in all, there is no better method for learning a foreign language.
Adding Photos via App
martin02mal
Please allow photos to be added through the app (even if you have to pay for the function). Ankiapp allows to add photos through the app. I wish Brainscape would do the same. Overall great app.
