Details about the features

Images in gWhiz cards are the same but can be cached when downloading the stack.

Demo video (on iPad - 5 min): www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1ZK0-8y5GE

On including images & sounds in your cards: Well, you can.. but it's a hassle.

Option 1: Create your stack on Quizlet, where you can upload images (if you have a 'Plus' account - $10/year www.quizlet.com/upgrade/ ) or use images from Flickr. And then download your stack in the app. Warning: you’ll need a connection to see your pics on the cards, they are not cached.

Option 2: Create your stack as a Google Docs spreadsheet, like this example in which you include the URL’s of the images and sounds you want to use, so they must be hosted online.
