A little less than a year ago, my quest to see flashcard development on the iPhone was sated for the first time, when I found iFlipr. The idea is already starting to spread, and now you have a wider choice of iPhone flashcard programs!
While there are many responses in the iPhone App Store when you search for Flashcards, most of them are dedicated to a pre-set topic, such as beginning Spanish or medical terminology. For this list, I'm going to focus on customizable flashcard programs. This also is not intended as a review of each program, but rather an overview of what's available and what features are offered.
Many of these programs use a version of Leitner System, so that you can learn more efficiently by studying more difficult material more frequently.
