Wokabulary — Flashcards

This is a great app! The design and integration into the Mac and iOS ecosystem are excellent. Thank you for considering the family subscription (for us with school-age children, this means a lot). If you like playing with CSV files, you can create not only vocabulary cards but also anything else that interests you (just follow the CSV example provided for Word List on the app's website). I especially like the idea of ​​working with tags. You can create different levels or types of lessons with them. Also, all the other options in the app are easy to work with because they are similar to standard Apple apps, very intuitive. Finally, I would ask the developers to add a shortcut "import CSV file" in the Shortcuts app. Best regards,

I've been using this app for almost a year and have happily paid for it since the developers do a great job updating it regularly. Having tried both Anki and Wokabulary, I definitely prefer Wokabulary. It took some time to adjust to using hashtags instead of decks, but that was just a learning curve. The interface is clean and simple, which I really like. Some features aren’t immediately obvious, so you have to explore a bit to discover everything it offers. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the built-in spaced repetition system. It’s incredibly restrictive and just doesn’t work for me. I put up with it but I don’t like it at all and I wish there was an option to turn it off and on. If you guess something correctly five times, it disappears for 5–6 weeks, which means you won’t see it again for a long time. Everyone studies differently, and the built-in repetition system just doesn’t work efficiently for me. If you want to review something more often, you have to keep marking it as a mistake, which is frustrating. There’s a “dry run” option, but it’s not helpful since it shows both the question and answer, making it completely useless. Being able to control your review schedule to fit your needs is everything. I reached out to them about this, but I got the impression that it won’t be addressed because it’s not considered as an issue. I understand that, as the creators, they believe in their system, but unfortunately, this issue has made me consider looking for other solutions. Overall, it’s a good app, but with some frustrating limitations.

Easy to use app that’s designed specifically for people learning a language. You can quickly enter words from your class notes and organize them by tags. Tags and words can be sorted to your own liking for quick searching.
