Audio Flashcards App for Android

Top top class stuff

First, when I was thinking this would be a great way to prep for stuff, I was surprised that there weren’t more options and, at the same time, very glad there was this app which had most of what I wanted. While I wish I could type in or import stuff so that a generated voice could read it, the fact that it will play both the prompt and the answer with a definable pause as well as continue playing without any user interaction makes it perfect for use while driving. I also appreciate the ability to make edits even if it’s basically re-recording then trimming/deleting the first version. In addition, I like being able to have nested folders that all play if the parent is chosen for review. The biggest downside to this app is lack of documentation (new explanations for some things but could use more) and behavior (why does it think I’m done reviewing for the day after one pass through and which of the other methods will mimic normal review?). It would be great to just keep the whole stack on repeat with a random order; perhaps, using the microphone, it could be set to determine if you gave the wrong answer and prioritize those. I’d also like the ability to review with the screen off and/or in the background while doing other stuff on my device. Finally, while I appreciate the fact that it can be used hands free, you can also hold it and mark your successes and failures. Unfortunately, if you mark a success before the playback is complete (or mostly), it’ll count it as skipped then going back takes a little more effort than you’d think plus you still have to listen again rather than simply marking it as complete. Basically, that mode is more frustrating than it is useful (don’t think it maintains stats). All in all, glad to have this app and glad it’s free.

I’ve been using this app to help with vocabulary building for a foreign language that I have general fluency with, and it is a GREAT resource, especially if your language learning needs don’t fit the one-size-fits-all that many apps offer. Creating audio flash cards is a simple process, you can customize and re-record them as needed, and the developers are super responsive to feedback - I asked if there was a chance to add the ability to review cards with the answer first and within a week, the developers had added the feature! Highly recommend this app for anyone looking for a customizable way to study something, especially with the ability to review via audio.

This app is very nice. But it’s missing a key feature of being able to play through the question and answer without interacting with the UI. I’d like it to play all by itself while I’m driving.
