Great update

Thanks for the update!

Good cards, active development

UPDATE: I passed the level 2 test! Thank youuuuu. The flash cards are good and comprehensive, I used the level 1 cards am passed L1 on first try. The 1-star down mark is because the in-app GUI is lacks retina graphics, an oversight on the developer's part. Update this and the app deserves 5 stars. [Edit] I changed my score to five stars b/c the dev. updated the icon to retina graphics. It shows that the developers are paying attention to users. Just as a heads up, the in-app GUI still needs high-res skins, like the "i" button, "Back" button, and cog button.

Great flash card app!!

Reasonably priced, great definitions and easy to use. What more could you ask for?

Excellent flashcards for much less than Schweser

I was really reluctant to spend $20 on an iPhone app, but I am glad I did. The flashcards can be accessed by topic and all you need to do is to tap on the question to view the answer. You can even create your own. These are so much better than my own flashcards and much less expensive than the Schweser ones!! When will the 2012 upgrade be available?

Doesn’t cover all material

This app is convenient as long as you understand it is not comprehensive: 1) there are only 510 flash cards, with most of them being concepts. That means MANY formulas in the material are not covered here. For example, the Forward Premium and some of the Parities (Econ) flash cards have a concept but no formula. For bond conversions, there are 7 formulas in the readings. The flash cards provide 5. 2) Great for on the go, but because it only covers a portion of the material, you will have to use other personal notes or actual flash cards to supplement. There is a custom flash card option, but pretty worthless when you have to write out a formula like Black Scholes with powers, Greek symbols, etc. 3) You can star flash cards as favorites or flag them, but would be cool if every flash card you could mark with you know them, don’t know them, or need to review some more. So if you kind of know a concept be able to star it differently from a concept you don’t know at all. Essentially, the electronic version of making 3 piles. 4) Also you have to decide whether you want to view the cards at random or in chronological order at the settings level on your phone. This should be an option in the app. It’s pretty inconvenient to change the setting every time you want to change your view from chronological to random. 4) Overall, for $20, it is extremely disappointing that this app doesn’t cover every singe formula. You will fail if you rely solely on these flash cards because only 80% of material is covered. Great concept, but they have a long way to go for the price they’re charging.

Can't save the customized cards!

I created new flash cards but can't seem to save it. What happened?

Love this app!

Really helpful to review on the train to work. Just finished the books so this is perfect for me especially all the formulas which is a big plus. Got the free 2016 update which is much nicer design as well. Easy to use.

Worth it but buggy and too wordy

I love the price and convenience of memorizing when I have a few minutes here and there. I could not go above 3 stars at this time because there are too many bugs, and the answers are too long. I would rather have 2,000 flash cards that are short rapid fire than paragraphs of answers. Regarding the bugs, if you add a note to a flash card it either moves or disappears. Sometimes when I swipe to the next flash card it skips a card. When the iPad rotates it loses where you were and puts you back on the first card; this is a real pain when I alternate between flash cards and playing with my kids. Overall I have no regrets and I would purchase this again.
