An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A flashcard app with spaced repetition where you rate your confidence on a scale of 1 to 5 and the algorithm adjusts how often a card appears. For language learning it works as a vocabulary retention tool, but you need to create your own deck or find a pre-made one. The app's strength is in honest self-assessment of knowledge rather than a false sense of progress.

What people use it for
Those already studying a language through a course or with a tutor who want to systematize vocabulary retention through spaced repetition.
What reviews praise
- The self-rating mechanic after each card is more accurate than a binary correct/incorrect: you can mark a word as known but uncertain and the algorithm will return it sooner.
- Shared decks let you learn from sets others have built.
What reviews complain about
- It does not teach a language, it helps you memorize things.
- That is a fundamental difference.
- No audio by default, no grammar, no example sentences unless you add them manually.
- A tool to supplement a course, not replace one.
