Description

Managing your vocabulary or learning stuff by heart has never been easier. FlashBuddy assists you with creating flash cards (with the option of using dict.cc for German/English) but it also offers csv import of existing lists (using e-mail or iTunes), for example.

You can sort your cards by subject and also add tags. FlashBuddy will then put the cards into different stages, starting with stage 1.

A certain number of cards will be due for (daily) training. If you answer a card correctly it will be moved to the next stage and then be due again after 3 days (10 days, 30 days, 90 days). If a card reaches stage 6 it has probably been burnt into your brain and will never appear again in your daily training.

With a special training mode you can learn certain cards by subject and/or tags without changing or even considering the stage they are in.

FlashBuddy also offers csv export (using e-mail or iTunes) for (additional) backup purposes or to use the cards in MS Excel or other programmes.

FlashBuddy can even import CSV files created with Phase 6 or CoboCards.
