Ratings and reviews

I really like the app, it does its job and has a sleek design. There's only a minor inconvenience throwing me off. I'm not sure if it's just my device, but when I write something in the "answer" section of the notecard, I see the text in the textbox jitter a bit. It's barely noticeable but the blurry text messes with my eyes a bit. Aside from that minor nitpick, again, it's a great app!

I've been using Brainscape for a little over three years now and it has gotten me through SO many tests and subjects. The algorithm really helps make sure I can focus on cards that I'm struggling with and I like being able to monitor my progress both within the deck and in the overviews of each class. I also love that I can create my cards on the computer which is much quicker but then always have them in my pocket so I can study while I'm on the go. I've mostly used the free version but I temporarily upgraded to pro for a semester when I wanted more advanced functions for a few of my subjects. One thing I would have liked to see in pro version would be the ability to make tables and graphs directly on the cards rather than having to just paste in photos. The other BIG thing thing I would like to see in both free and pro version is the ability to flip the question and answer card within each deck. I use the app a lot my Spanish and it really frustrates me that I can't reverse the order to see the Spanish vocab first if I've originally written out the English on the question question. This seems like a very simple function to have for a flashcard app and it's the one area where I prefer other programs

Pleasantly surprised how easy to use this app is and i absolutely love that it tracks your mastery of your flashcards. I'm bummed you have to subscribe to access further features (like adding photos or images/diagrams to cards) i would rather have to purchase the app or pay a one-time fee based on the level of access I'm looking for, or even have to watch adds after every 15-20 flashcards you go through. Overall a great concept, just could use a few modifications.

What's new

We did science. We did code. We did snacks. And we did this:

- Users may now copy, move, or even re-use decks or whole classes of flashcards (previously only available on website)!
