Flashcards Maker

I purchased a rather expensive two dollar a month subscription for this app, based upon the promise that you were able to sync across devices. In point of fact, you can only sync text materials, but no photos. That seems strange since you are able to upload the entire Flashcards to the cloud, including photos. however, when I tried to sync the 100 or so cards I had created to my wife’s phone, the app then informed me that it would only sync text to another phone, not photos. I’ve then purchased a second subscription for my wife, hoping that would solve the problem, but was disappointed to find that no matter how many times I tried it would only allow me to download 20 of the over 200 photos that formed the foundation of the flashcards. On top of that, I experienced the same problem that people have been reviewing for over four years: that is, that the camera function will cause the app to close down after anywhere from 3 to 5 clicks of the camera. You then have to reopen the app and find your deck, and the particular card you were working on to start all over again. There are much better options out there that have been used by many many more people. in particular, I would suggest Flashcard maker: easy to use, BY Yoshinobu Ikeda. An annual subscription is only six dollars, and you can purchase a lifetime subscription for just $13. This one is not worth your time.

I really like this app. It is simple, easy to use, and supports pictures. I do think it is a little overpriced and I think a single purchase structure would be better, but that is a business decision and I guess I’m still paying so.... The reason I’m not giving five stars is an extremely annoying bug that causes the app to crash while taking pictures to add to Flashcards. It occurs fairly frequently (about one in ten) so I don’t understand how it hasn’t come up in testing. For reference, I am on an iPhone SE 2, though I don’t think that should make much of a difference. Less importantly, it would be nice to have better image scaling available. As it stands the aspect ratio is absolute. It would be much more convenient if it could be modified by the user.

I was looking for a flashcard app for my daughter to use to study for a spelling bee, and I was pleasantly surprised with this one. (The developer was very responsive to a question I had, too!) A wonderful feature is the ability to sync content across devices, so I was able to type in the words on my iPhone and my daughter was able to see them on her iPad. The only small changes I would make are small and probably wouldn’t bug many people, but in case there’s a wishlist out there: I didn’t see a way to change all of the cards (or at least one side) to a single language/dialect for the audio part. Each side of the card could be set separately, which would make sense if you were learning a different language and wanted to have two different ones, but I manually set all of them (200+ cards) to US English on the side we used—and the button was very tiny and I often flipped the card while trying to change it. The other thing is that the spelling defaulted to Title Case and there was no way to change this, even within my phone’s settings. It would have been handy so I could simply dictate every word instead of typing them, manually disabling the shift key each time. All that said, I am very pleased with the app and still would pay money for it. Getting it free was a bonus.
