Make your own flash cards and take the pressure out of test preparation. Flashcard Hero keeps track of what facts you already know so you can focus on what you don’t know and save a lot of time.

People use the Flashcard Hero Mac & iOS apps to study many different subjects. Here’s a short list of the most popular subjects based on the over 2 million cards that users have shared among each other so far:
- Medicine (anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, genetics)
- Psychology
- Law & business administration (economics, marketing, international law)
- History and politics
- Languages (Latin, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Spanish, German)
- Social sciences
- Music and music theory

- Many more…
You see a lot of subjects in the top ranks where people have to memorize a lot of “structured” information. That’s because Flashcard Hero is designed specifically to go beyond language learning, offering more room on each card for facts, lists, and images. You can also organize cards into topics (to match chapters of a text book, for example).
Note: This app is a single, one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. The App Store might list the app as having in-app purchases, but those are only for backwards compatibility with an earlier version of the app. With this download, you get all features right away.
Pros and cons of Flashcard Hero app for iPhone and iPad
Flashcard Hero app good for
I have been using this app (primarily on the Mac) and added this to my iPhone. Greatly helps us students for those days when we need to study for tests. Great for on the go review. Recommended for college students.
Very easy to use and set up. The instructions are complete and easy to follow. Does exactly what I was hoping for - easy to use and create flashcards.
Need the option to search within decks! Finding cards in big decks is unnecessarily difficult without it. Would be a 5 star app.
I started using this App to help me with my Medical Terminology class and its really helped me keep my material organized and easy to access. Its system for repeating cards that you dont know also helps you get those tricky terms down pat!
I love the app, but it would be better if you could set up folders on the mobile app to organize your decks, instead of having to scroll through all of them to find the one you want. (I have about 95 decks making this extremely frustrating).
It would also be better if there was a progress bar on the screen while you are memorizing cards, that way you have an idea of how far you are threw your studying.
This app would definitely get five stars from me if these things were added to the app.
Excellent app. I like that you can make cards on a laptop, save them to the cloud, and have your phone update them. There are useful quiz options as well.
The only things Id like to see are:
- a way to make audio flash cards (in my case for animal calls)
- a way to export them to quizlet or some other form so that I can share them with people using Windows. All you can do at the moment is made a huge .pdf of your flash cards like you were going to print them.
Some bad moments
False advertising on the author s website convinced me just now to purchase this app, and the sole feature I purchased it for doesnt exist: TYPE THE ANSWER. They promise that you can type the answers as a form of response. Multiple choice quiz mode asks blank questions, and offers some of the answer options blank too... and expects you to be able to answer it. The cherry on top was when it decided to spontaneously forget the entire deck of Japanese language cards that I had just hand typed. I WANT A REFUND!
If youre in love with Flashcard Hero for Mac like I am, this app is almost a must have.
This app gets a lot right, but leaves too much room for improvement.
Its definitely not worth $6.00... Anything more than $0.99 is too expensive. ESPECIALLY in this early stage when there are responsiveness and design issues that need to be addressed.
I pretty much only paid for this app so I could write a review to tell people not to buy it for its current price.
The app freezes all the time! I have to delete it & reinstall it to make it work. Considering the price, its a ripoff.
Really great app! The iCloud functionality is really useful if you prefer to write cards on Mac and study them on iPhone / iPad. The ability to add images is really useful (for MathType equations and so forth). Excellent!
Please add landscape orientation to the iOS version!!!! Also consider using clicks instead or in addition to swipes to flip over cards. Swipes make sense for going from card to card but not when swiping to the other side of the same card. Loving the fluidity across devices though!
Everything about it is great! Super helpful and easy to use!
Creator is working on being able to write notecards on your phone, which will just make this app better!! (:
