Ratings and reviews

Definitely has a potential, but atm I'm finding it really annoying how it keeps resetting my progress if the internet is lacking. Doing cards in an Uber while it's going through a tunnel? Chances are, you'll have to redo them again, keeping track in your head what you remembered the last time and what you missed. Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to add some offline functionality and sync things later when possible. Once that's fixed, I'll happily change my review

I'm not sure how this seemingly little known vocab app is so much better than all the big name options, but it is. The interface is intuitive, the spaced repetition is well implemented, and (most importantly) the app doesn't insist on gamifying everything. Its built in interface with Wiktionary is especially helpful, too. I will gladly continue to pay for premium.

The option to practice difficult words or revisit random learned words is a very useful feature that I haven't found in any other flaschard app. I haven't used tried all the features of the app yet, but I wish there was a way to edit pre-existing cards so I can practice the whole sentence instead of just one word. It would be much easier than having to make a bunch of custom cards
