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 me out. I'm deleting the app now
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, it doesn't. I have decks I need to make updates to on my phone, and when I try to save the updates, the card never finishes "synching" with the brainscape website [...].
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 harder!"
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 fields and they confirm that the cards are a great help.
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 of ranking between 1 and 5, make it a "Yes or Guess" choice. At the moment, it's personally subjective. My experience has been on the free version and I've enjoyed it.
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! I love everything about it. it is very easy to make flashcards and I love the Confidence Scale and how you can choose how confident you are in each card. I also like how you can download it on your phone.
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 German Teacher) and the cards are high quality. App is also easy and helpful to build your own sets of cards. Only slight negative is cost, but worth it.
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 to replicate what the web platform does quite well.
