Flashcards Deluxe is an easy to use, yet powerful flashcard app which you can use to study just about anything you want. I use this app for my own Chinese studies, and am constantly improving it to make it better for myself and others.
Features:
• Two smart study modes that automatically focus more on the cards you miss: Leitner and a more advanced Spaced Repetition mode (similar to SuperMemo or Anki)
• Text to speech (TTS) audio in 18 languages (no internet connection needed to study)
• Multiple choice option
• Spelling tests (listen to audio and use keyboard to answer)
• Searchable listing of your cards that allows you to easily look up other terms as you study
• Organize decks in folders and combine decks for studying
• Several flashcard color themes to choose from (sky, wood, chalkboard, etc.)
• Divide cards into categories
• 1 to 5 sided cards
• Include pictures and sounds. Zoom into pictures. Auto repeat sounds.
• 3 response levels: Wrong, I kind of know, I know really well (vs the standard correct/wrong) - for more efficient studying
• Easy navigation - swipe or tap to answer (customizable)
• Draw self-graded answer with your finger
• Automatically turn cards off after getting them correct a certain number/percentage of reviews
• Clean, efficient user interface, including full-screen and landscape viewing
• Custom text and background colors
• Browse mode that lets you easily navigate forward or back without keeping score
• Slideshow mode
• Large number of cards (10,000+) can be imported easily (full version)
• Backup your flashcards to your computer
• Supports Dropbox, Google Docs and USB transfers
• Very easy to get started, with lots of features and options for advanced users
• Great support! I promptly respond to any questions or feedback you may have. Use my website's public forum or email me.
You can create flashcards either on your computer or directly within the app. If you don't want to make your own, you can browse and download flashcards from the app's Shared Library.
Creating cards on your computer is an easy process of making a two column list of questions and answers in a text editor or spreadsheet, copy/pasting your list into our website, and then downloading it to your device. You can also transfer flashcards using Dropbox, Google Docs or even your own web server.
Praise for the PAID version:

Immediately hooked and bought full version!

Rather than repeat myself here, let me just say that after trying the Lite version for about an hour...I was hooked. I purchased the full version and immediately imported my 800 flashcards. Love it!
Based on how the brain works

I'm not affiliated with the creator and have 20 years of teaching study skills. This program is based on solid brain-based learning theory and does a much better job than the others I looked at. You can use it in a simple mode and move into the more advanced features. Importing terms was easy, and being able to create a 3 sided relationship is a great feature (i.e. title/author/period).

Need paid version!

I love this app! I have a test coming up on June 8th and I really need the paid version to come out!!! Thanks
Great app hoping for the iPad version soon

The ability of this app to download pre-made and user-created flash cards make it much more desirable than the alternatives. Add to that the method of going from slide to slide and viewing the front/back of cards with swipe gestures make it very intuitive to use. I also like its quiz mode, it is very effective offering four different card sorting orders and can focus on cards that may require more attention. Do beware of the other apps available. I made the mistake of purchasing an app thinking it was the full version to this, but it was from a different seller - similar name, icons, and features but not as intuitive and lacks quizlet. So be careful. Apple doesn't allow refunds for customer mistakes or anything else.
Good

This is a very well-thought out app. I like the wrong-kind of know-know approach. This is great for the questions that I really have to think about. Thanks!
Confusing
Michael77_77
I thought this app would help me make my own flashcards. But it was confusing to even do the introduction included. Update: maybe have the ability to have users make there own flashcards for a test/quiz. That way they don't have to hand write them and it could be quicker for them.
Better than i first thought.

This app is very confusing at first. I could not make heads or tails out of it. I think i figured it out now and seems much better than originally thought.
Very flexible! Very customizable!

What some call confusing I call flexible. I study for actuary exams and have to create hundreds of flash cards easily and in varying formats. I love that I can include jpegs and sound and that there are so many other customization features. Also theres so much flexibility in sorting, organizing, viewing, tracking my studying. Very useful. I highly recommend this if you're doing serious studying.
