Flashcards Deluxe

Application Description

Flashcards Deluxe is an easy to use, yet powerful flashcard app which you can use to study just about anything you want. I use this app for my own Chinese studies, and am constantly improving it to make it better for myself and others.

You can create flashcards either on your computer or directly on the iPhone. If you don't want to make your own cards, there are many good places on the web to find pre-made flashcards, which you can copy/paste into your own list. This app provides a great way to study your flashcards (wherever they may come from) on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Creating cards on your computer is an easy process of making a two column list of questions and answers in a text editor or spreadsheet, copy/pasting your list into our web site, and then downloading it to your device. (Note: iPod users will need Wi-Fi with internet access to import.) You don't even need to use our web site if you can host files on your own web server or use Mac web sharing.

"If there’s anything that will leave you scratching your head about this incredible app is why it isn’t more expensive... FlashCards Deluxe is truly an educational app worth obtaining. Nothing you want to learn right now? Download the app. It will make you want to learn something just by having it." - theiphoneappreview.com 12/10/09

The shared library currently has decks that include:
U.S. States and Capitals with maps, flags and facts
