Flashtex: Learn Flashcards

Well thought out. Easy to use. Would really love if it had image occlusion or cloze deletion.

I like the app because you are able to use LATEX as well as put in drawings and pictures. However, whenever I use it on my laptop it crashes after a while.

I have the paid (unlimited) version of this app. Overall it is a good app. However, there are some MAJOR annoyances. For example... 1-The keyboard blocks the save button so every time you want to add a new card, you have to close down the keyboard first 2-You can't easily see the total card counts for the decks - this important info should be readily available 3-Custom study options are not global - you have to set them for each deck - this takes a long time as I have like 40 decks. Unfortunately the built-in options are persistent - you have to make changes to them for each new deck. For example, I hate the ugly brain icon but it keeps reappearing with each new deck. The study options (BOTH built-in and custom) should be global so you only have to change them in (or add them to) one place and not 40+ (unlimited really) places Some wish list items... 1-More icons would be nice for the study options 2-More color options are neded for deck colors 3-Please relegate the tip jar to the settings screen ONLY - it is annoying to see an 'are you enjoying Flashtex' button (which is an appeal for a tip) EVERY SINGLE TIME you review some of your own flash cards (it's like a waiter asking for a tip every time he brings you a napkin, water, refill, etc.). I'm LESS likely to want to give a tip if you ask constantly. Some questions... 1-Version history says questions can have background color - how is this done? I don't see this option anywhere 2-Version history says text to speech s/b available, but I haven't found an option to do both question AND answer. How to have text-to-speech on both question AND answer? I will assume some of the icon choices are just to offer colorful options and not intending to offend anyone. I hope I am correct in my assumption. I like this app overall, so I really hope you will fix above issues. If so, should then be 5 stars. Thanks.

Keeps glitching lately. Not sure if update is needed

I've tried several tools like this, and this one was the most polished and had the right feature set while being reasonably priced.

I restarted the app several times and nonetheless found that if I included more than around two paragraph’s worth of text in a card answer that the text would perversely cut and paste sections of itself throughout, garbling up everything and preventing any corrections because those too would, for lack of a better term, glitch out and cause some other seemingly random garbling of text elsewhere. This was clearly a bug and, for obvious reasons, not appreciated. While I’m airing my grievances I might as well also mention that I am disappointed that there is no feature (as far as I’m aware) to move cards between decks or mass edit decks in a more streamline fashion than is currently available. All this being said, I still am happy that this app exists.

I use this app everyday for learnning Japanese

I would really appreciate a way to look through cards one by one in a deck while also having the option to easily edit them. Presently, there is an option to look at all your cards for a deck, which doesn't let you edit them while doing so, or you can go one by one through your cards and edit them, but to move on to the next card you need (1) to hit a back button to view all cards, (2) select the new card, (3) hit edit, (4) hit save, and then (5) hit back, and then repeat the process. If you could at most have to hit edit and submit once and then move on to the next card with a, I don't know, "next card" button or shortcut, then that would be nice. Even better if you could view all cards in an edit mode. Maybe there's already a work around for this, so take this request with a grain of salt––assuming this review will ever be read, which is unlikely. The other more serious request I have is that I you should be able to move cards between decks. Add an option on a card to "move this card to another deck" or after selecting a deck to "select cards to move" or something like that. It would be tremendously helpful I think. Notwithstanding my requests and issues, this is a great app if you would like to, as the name of the app suggests, create flashcards that have latex functionality.

There aren’t many flashcard apps that implement LaTex. I love this one. Thanks to the developer for continuing to update it with fixes and features.

Im amazed how many features this app has! I hated anki cuz of how ugly and non user friendly it was. Not this app, its what i wanted anki TO BE. I use this app everyday. The creator is very quick to respond AND fix any bugs. I hope one day we get folders within folders :) Best 12 bucks I ever spent. Thank you for such a cool app.
