Reviews for Brainscape: Smarter Flashcards

BS app. only gives access to ONE set of flashcards before forcing an upgrade of $7-19 / month! I may be very open to this upgrade if I saw a bit more breath of what was available but I’m not going to be forced into it after a few minutes of using the app. count […]

Updated review (9/15): Bumping this from 2 to 5 stars: – Mobile app card update issue resolved. – Response from Brainscape was timely and addressed issue directly. – App is back to being my go-to for language acquisition. Old review (9/7): No longer takes card updates on mobile ⚠️ Beware, this app works fine until…well, […]

Generally does everything I want it to do. Importing and exporting very easy. I am the administrator. Whenever I try to check progress of my students on Android, the app freezes. I can check progress on my computer without incident.

Brainscape has completely changed the way I study. The flashcards are super effective, the design is easy to use, and I can track my progress, which keeps me motivated. I’ve noticed I remember things faster and for longer, and studying has actually become enjoyable. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn smarter, not […]

it is good. not all decks are free so you have to buy a subscription but the design is great, a lot of colours, easy to use, just the audio takes time before playing the word/expresion

Fantastic tool. The lifetime package is a good deal and I will be using it in my continuing education as there a number of decks that cover my field. The flash cards are more in depth than my practice test and already created for me. I have reccomended to a few people studying in other […]

Very early in my use but so far it has worked great. the UI is pretty good. I wish the numerical assessment of how well I knew the answer was defined a little more. In my mind, you either knew it or you didn’t which would result in a guess. Instead of a color system […]

I honestly love this app so much! I have been using Quizlet lately but got quite bored of the layout and it also restricted some useful resources to subscriptions which I did not want to pay for. I went onto tiktok and found this app, I tried it out last night and it is wonderful! […]

Absolute best flashcards app. Much better than Anki, which Ifound frustrating and simplistic. This one is very effective in letting you rate how well you know something, which then affects how often you’re asked again. Color-codibg for degree of mastery also helpful and motivating. I’m using the app in conjunction with an online class (Your […]

The app lacks function of the web client. For example, the ability to review ten cards at a time, review certain decks together or separately, as well as a general card count of the deck as you review the cards. Also no real settings function to customize the way you review cards demonstrates more need […]

I discovered Brainscape by watching YouTube reviews of Flashcards APPs. I used a different flashcards app when I was getting my Bachelor’s degree, but it no longer exists. I am loving the web interface and how it syncs to my phone. I can use text, images and sound! And of course formatting of text. The […]

$20 for 1 month to use all the flashcards?? Dang how much money you think we got in the economy. I’d charge you $20 for the audacity. Reply: No I won’t be using this app. I was recommended it by a colleague, but he was able to buy pro at half the price. I’d have […]

The point of flashcards is memorization and this app was designed around that goal. I’ve been using this for more than half a year and it’s made language learning a lot easier and fun. Also, over the last few months you can tell the developers made everything more visually pleasant. I’ve had no trouble making […]

I really like this app. I’ve been wanting to make flashcards to practice for my Salesforce Admin exam but I haven’t had time. This app already has the flashcards made! And I love how it has the color coated system for how well you know each flashcard. I wanted to give it 5 stars..it has […]

Font rendering is poor. Fonts that are clearly italic on the website are nearly imperceptible as italic in the app. Images attached cards are so small that they become illegible, and there is no way to zoom in. This product just isn’t suitable for my needs. I’m going back to Anki flashcards. Creating flashcards maybe […]

useful and easy to use. the only issue I keep running in to is that I’m often trying to edit and add more cards but instead it goes to study mode. I think it would be nice to have a toggle that allows us to default to edit or study, so that when we click […]

I really like the app, it does its job and has a sleek design. There’s only a minor inconvenience throwing me off. I’m not sure if it’s just my device, but when I write something in the “answer” section of the notecard, I see the text in the textbox jitter a bit. It’s barely noticeable […]

This has replaced all of my physical note cards. It shows you note cards frequently enough for you to learn them. It bases how often to show it to you on how well you report knowing the card (1-5). It’s a great environmentally friendly alternative to note cards as well as more convenient because you’re […]

Pleasantly surprised how easy to use this app is and i absolutely love that it tracks your mastery of your flashcards. I’m bummed you have to subscribe to access further features (like adding photos or images/diagrams to cards) i would rather have to purchase the app or pay a one-time fee based on the level […]

I’ve been using Brainscape for a little over three years now and it has gotten me through SO many tests and subjects. The algorithm really helps make sure I can focus on cards that I’m struggling with and I like being able to monitor my progress both within the deck and in the overviews of […]
