Ratings and reviews

I've tried so many flashcards/SRS apps but I feel like this is the first one that's actually helped me memorize my vocabulary. It takes some time getting used to and a bit of time getting everything laid out like you want (at least for me), plus I would like the option to delay sibling cards for 24hrs - but regardless, I really like Memorion.

Great app, makes commuting fun and the best time of the day. Memorion provides lots of options, great statistics, different user modes makes getting started easy. Many built-in languages. Most importantly, very effective way to memorize words, phrases, equations, whatever you need. Highly recommended! A++.

Looked at many apps. This is the only one that has it all. The only negative is that there is so much customization that you can do, I still have not figured it all out yet. In the simple mode, it's great. Spaced learning, indefinite languages and unlimited stacks. The only feature missing is a pop up to remind you to review you sets when the phone is closed.
