This is a free lite version which has a LIMIT of 6 decks and 6 cards per deck. The paid version does not have this restriction.

Flashcards Deluxe is an easy to use, yet powerful flashcard app which you can use to study just about anything you want. I use this app for my own Chinese studies, and am constantly improving it to make it better for myself and others.

Features:

• Two smart study modes that automatically focus more on the cards you miss: Leitner and a more advanced Spaced Repetition mode (similar to SuperMemo or Anki)
• Text to speech (TTS) audio in 18 languages (no internet connection needed to study)
• Multiple choice option
• Spelling tests (listen to audio and use keyboard to answer)
• Searchable listing of your cards that allows you to easily look up other terms as you study
• Organize decks in folders and combine decks for studying
• Several flashcard color themes to choose from (sky, wood, chalkboard, etc.)
• Divide cards into categories
• 1 to 5 sided cards
• Include pictures and sounds. Zoom into pictures. Auto repeat sounds.
• 3 response levels: Wrong, I kind of know, I know really well (vs the standard correct/wrong) - for more efficient studying
• Easy navigation - swipe or tap to answer (customizable)
• Draw self-graded answer with your finger
• Automatically turn cards off after getting them correct a certain number/percentage of reviews
• Clean, efficient user interface, including full-screen and landscape viewing
• Custom text and background colors
• Browse mode that lets you easily navigate forward or back without keeping score
• Slideshow mode
• Large number of cards (10,000+) can be imported easily (full version)
• Backup your flashcards to your computer
• Supports Dropbox, Google Docs and USB transfers
• Very easy to get started, with lots of features and options for advanced users
• Great support! I promptly respond to any questions or feedback you may have. Use my websites public forum or email me.

You can create flashcards either on your computer or directly within the app. If you dont want to make your own, you can browse and download flashcards from the apps Shared Library.

Creating cards on your computer is an easy process of making a two column list of questions and answers in a text editor or spreadsheet, copy/pasting your list into our website, and then downloading it to your device. You can also transfer flashcards using Dropbox, Google Docs or even your own web server.

Praise for the PAID version:

Pros and cons of Flashcards Deluxe Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Flashcards Deluxe Lite app good for

Really the best Flashcards app for any student that needs this methodology. After trying many apps (and paying them just to soon be refunded), this one cannot be more perfect to me. You can see it how it works first without having to pay just to see if it fits your needs; the upload and download is faster than the others Ive tried, you can actually organize your sets in folders, put REALLY long texts into one card - yes I put a whole page to test it - you can color code the backgroung, the letters and any set with any color, both sides differently or not, stablish a theme to a subject, browse cards, put flags on cards youre having trouble with, 3 types of answers AND you can put words in italic, bold and underlined! o/ Thanks Ernie! :D

I havent used the photo feature yet but for text based Q & A it is slick. I took a look at the freebie and then dug deep for the $.99. No regrets. Great for what I needed. Upload is fast and easy. I uesd a Word table. Might be nice to have a little more guidance on how the columns become subsets but not a major issue.

Program is the best one, but please, can you change or add some function; 1. When I m studying, its not useful when words which was wrong, program put them in new sets( will be better in current sets will be appear more frequently) 2. Put flag by pushing for more than second.

Good for a free version, but you should buy the full version.

Rather than repeat myself here, let me just say that after trying the Lite version for about an hour...I was hooked. I purchased the full version and immediately imported my 800 flashcards. Love it!

Im not affiliated with the creator and have 20 years of teaching study skills. This program is based on solid brain-based learning theory and does a much better job than the others I looked at. You can use it in a simple mode and move into the more advanced features. Importing terms was easy, and being able to create a 3 sided relationship is a great feature (i.e. title/author/period). Peace, John

Some bad moments

you guys should make the app called sticky notes and try to use that thing where you turn the ipod use the wided out keyboard and that would help

Good app for studying and memorizing difficult things alone. Purchasing the full version is advisable

I bet the full version is much better. I would like the lite verson except for the fact that my social studies test study guides require like 40+ cards not 4. The other flashcard app I have ate my online cards so now I have to retype any other flashcard program I get because I only have the touch cards.

I thought this app would help me make my own flashcards. But it was confusing to even do the introduction included. Update: maybe have the ability to have users make there own flashcards for a test/quiz. That way they dont have to hand write them and it could be quicker for them.

just dont download this. I could only put 4 flashcards per deck.

Its a great app, love the concept. And i personally find it easy to use. One problem, the limit is 4 cards per deck with the lite version and you can only create 4 decks. It really helps with bio, other sciences and other languages like Spanish and French!
