ACCESS THOUSANDS OF FREE FLASH CARDS

Create your own flashcards at those sites, or within a Google Docs spreadsheet.
Touchcards imports the flashcards, allowing you to study on the go without an internet connection. Once you're connected again you can re-sync your cards to get any changes made to the master set from Quizlet or StudyStack.

Touchcards is easy to use and interactive. Swipe your way through your cards, tap them to flip them over, pinch to resize the fonts, and shake the device to shuffle your deck.

A HUGE FREE LIBRARY, READY FOR IMPORT
Extensive flashcard sets already exist for learning languages, SAT topics, AP, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, MCAT sections, algebra, geometry, biology, chemistry, anatomy, history, capitals, the alphabet, religion, music, poetry, literature, art, theater, law, banking, medicine, accounting, baby topics, toddler and kids topics, vocabulary, and more. There are too many to list, so be sure to take a look at www.quizlet.com and www.studystack.com.
CREATE YOUR OWN FLASHCARDS
If you can't find a set you like on Quizlet or StudyStack, you can create your own. This can be done a couple ways: first, you can create a new set on Quizlet or StudyStack and then import it, or you can opt to create your own private set using Google Docs.
To create a set in Google Docs, open a new spreadsheet and type the questions (front of the card) in column A, and the answers (back of card) in column B. Publish the spreadsheet as a web page, using the instructions provided within the Touchcards app.
A DOUBLE BENEFIT
Quizlet.com and StudyStack.com already have great, active communities and hundreds of thousands of flash cards. They also offer tools to review your sets. If you're near a computer, you can take advantage of these sites. Even if you delete your deck from the iPhone, you can still access it anytime on these websites, so any effort you spent creating the cards is never wasted.
When you're on the go, take your sets with you using Touchcards.
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO STUDY
Active recall is still one of the best ways to actually learn material. As you flip through the deck and think of the answer in your head, you're building a mental model related to the material on the cards. Read about some of the benefits here http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i34/34a00101.htm

Customer Reviews
Does the job.
I just realized I've had this app for almost a year now and it stays on the first page. I use it all the time. It works perfectly. I use it for two things: poker and Arabic. The cards show Arabic perfectly. This app is a perfect example of an app well done.
No Access
I bought both apps to download flash cards from this same vendor. I used one of the 3 main ways they said to get cards on my system and it did not work. I e-mailed the company and they told me that their system could no longer communicate with the source they had listed. This is a waste of money.
Good
This is a good app. Very simple ms easy to use. One recommendation for future updates, it wouldn be nice if I were able to mark if I know the card or not. If I could see which of the flash cards I got wrong that would help me study better.
