Some things in life just have to be memorized. Facts, formulas, words, pictures, dates, procedures, even names and faces. Everything you do includes information that needs to reside in your head. Studies can help with that.
Studies is a flashcard app for the serious student. It's a tool to extend your knowledge, and it doesn't matter what you want to learn — medicine, law, language, history, driving, fine art, music, martial arts — from simple day-to-day tidbits, to knowledge of life changing importance. Studies is an app to help you achieve your learning goals.
There are Studies apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (separate purchase), and they sync up beautifully via iCloud. Start studying in class with Studies for Mac, continue on the bus ride home with Studies for iPhone, and finish off on the sofa with Studies for iPad.
(Note: Studies was formerly called Mental Case.)

Highly useful

I love this app, but the draw an image option needs an eraser not just an undo.
Import Problems
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 the app, 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.
Problem with a feature
Hohgdddhkklvdsawtin
Whenever I search for a quizlet through my studies app the whole app crashes
No more Quizlet

I have used this app since Mental Case. Great app but for me the HUGE importance of this was the ability to import stacks from quizlet. This has been removed now removing the ability to download public stacks....Disappointing!!
search problem and read my notes
toobatf
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.
Be careful with the sync
Anne J 2
App is crude, but it works for the most part with limitations. Ex: can’t resize the image and words when reviewing cards or for presentation so the picture is smaller than desired. Also can’t increase the size of the flashcard when reviewing to make the images bigger. No magnifying glass or zoom function. Terminology confusing as hell. Stack vs group vs smart stack. I guess I could make flashcards to memorize but I’m lazy. It’s not intuitive; that’s the point. My biggest complaint is the sync. When editing flashcards on the computer, everything is fine. If the sync is on though, the screen flickers while I’m reading the flash card and trying to concentrate. Sometimes it happens multiple times. This happens because the app is syncing and it refreshes every time. Super annoying and irritating to my eyes. So I thought I would turn off the sync and turn it back on and the app would be smart enough to figure out which version between the ipad, computer, and iphone is most update. It is not. Once I turned on sync all my progress in the review was wiped out. So much for reviewing 700 flashcards. I’m too lazy to figure out if it wiped out flashcards I made and I don’t want to deal with the frustration and anger. I think the program figures the MOST updated version is the one with the sync on longest? So your progress is safe if you TURN OFF the sync for all devices except the one with the most recent updates then turn on your other devices. This is a theory. OR maybe there are others who dont experience the screen flickers. OR Maybe yoou are fine with just dealing with screen flickers. I have longer flash cards that work as test questions and contain a lot of information. So if you're planning on flipping cards with just one word on them or one picture, or you don’t need to spend time thinking of the answer, none of this will likely apply to you. Also the Help document is useless. It could at least explain HOW the sync works so I would not have to spend MY time to figure out how it works.
Flexibility!

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!

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.
Can’t end a study session

I think this app 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.
