Mochi - Flashcards and notes

I don’t like Anki. I know that people swear by it, but the terrible UI makes it unusable to me. I’ve tried multiple Anki alternatives, but none of them had functioning spaced repetition. All I wanted was for an app to tell me I have a set number of cards due for review, and this is it and more! This app perfectly balances a pleasant UI with user customization. I love being able to hide text so I can make cards for verb conjugations. None of the other alternatives I tried allowed that. The best part is that it’s free! Please allow us to donate within the app, because I would love to give you money <3

Very easy to use, simple and clean interface.

Please add the option to have Anki-style answer types (again, easy, hard and good) and the option to change the interval steps. I know that mochi is using Anki style spaced repetition algorithm in the background but the aesthetic of those four buttons is the only thing that many of us are used to rather than just a check and an x. Please add this option.

unlike other apps that want you to pay twenty to thirty dollars a year to use them and still have bugs, this app has virtually no bugs or glitches and most importantly is completely free and doesn’t even collect data from you. i really don’t understand why anyone would pay for a flashcard app when this one exists and even lets you customize the way that the app looks (font size, light and dark mode, card width, card view)

I was nervous about this one at first because it had fewer reviews than a lot of other card apps, but the reviews were all good, so I gave it a shot. I MEANT to try 1 or 2 other apps after trying this one, but… I don’t need any others!! This is exactly what I was looking for in a flashcard app. Cards are simple, clean, and easy to make. Spaced repetition reviews work wonderfully, as always, and I love being able to change the repetition interval and customize how many new cards I learn each day. I also like the dashboard letting me check my numbers (feels great to see retention go up!). Making custom card templates is AMAZING, and not hard, too! I was able to make a template that works perfectly for my attempts at learning kanji, and all the kanji cards I add take that template automatically! The whole app is amazingly smooth and easy to use. It works wonderfully and manages to have all the features I need in a flashcard app, FOR FREE. When I finish college and have more money I might get a subscription just to support the app creator (thank you!!), and for some of the perks too, but it’s amazing how much you get from Mochi for free. (And no ads! 💙) My ONLY complaint is that sometimes I swipe “yes ✅” on a card by accident instead of tapping to see the next side of the card, but that’s me being clumsy, not necessarily the app’s fault (though it could be helpful to have a feature preventing you from swiping until you’ve tapped at least once 🤔). Enough rambling: if you are looking for a flashcard app for any purpose (especially Japanese, this app feels almost tailored to Japanese learners, but still any subject will work), give this one a try. It has earned its place on my homescreen, outside of all my folders (a rare honor on my phone). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️

It’s flexible and looks good. It’s simple. The sync is perfect. For everything this can do in 2 clicks, alternatives take 15 clicks.

It's easy to use ，and it's simple ，I love it ， this app helps me a lot .Thank you ，the developer.

Anki lets you do whatever you want, which means it’s ugly quickly - Mochi has picked a lovely, simple markdown syntax that makes for a tidy interface that helps you focus on learning new things. My only suggestion to improve the app would be to add a daily reminder notification.

I can't figure out how to manually sort the cards. I want the ability to put my flash cards in a specific order.

I have been using Mochi for about a year now, and this is what I think of it. I used the Free Plan on my laptop for an entire semester of college, and it was phenomenal. No more flipping through 200 notecards per class. The best part of this app, I think, is spaced repetition. I was able to add new cards with every new class, but because Mochi waits longer to show you a card again after you review it successfully, the amount of cards I had to go through each day to stay on track barely increased. Additionally, multi-sided cards and hidden text features helped me organize a lot of complex topics into single cards (memorizing facts about Costa Rica, I was able to block out its capital, medium of exchange, and location on separate sides of the same card). This semester, I subscribed to the Pro plan - half to actually synch the data with my phone, and half to say thank-you to the developer, Matthew Steedman. With the Pro plan, I can now review cards with my phone while waiting in line, or in a shady location i wouldn't bring my laptop to. I also added a bunch of nested decks to further organize. Overall I love the app. If i could change a few things, I would include minigames like Quizlet Match to help make reviewing the cards more fun, and maybe work on some bugs on different-sized screens. when I shrink the window to certain sizes, the app *does* freak out a little bit, but I just close it and open again, resizing the window. Thank you Matthew Steedman for a great tool.
