A member mentioned Smart.fm in one of the other threads. Curious, I visited their website
and was impressed by a well-produced introduction video. Has anyone tried it? Is it
essentially the same as Anki or does it truly "adapt" to you in meaningful ways? Would you
recommend it over Anki, Supermemo, Quizlet, and so on?

I used it some for Japanese, and I found the main draw for me was the excellent set of pre-made Japanese lists with sounds and sample sentences.

I am not sure if the benefits are quite as compelling for other languages, where you have to make the datasets on your own in whichever system you use.

I like it. It has a nice progression of 4 choices, 8-10 choices then typing in the
answer. The Japanese lists are nice.

I have tried Anki and heard it just made version 1.0. So I may try it again.

I've tried it a bit, but I preferred Anki. Like fielle, I found the best part of it was
the pre-made decks, but there's an Anki plugin to import decks from Smart.fm.

I used Smart.fm for a while, but its interface doesn't show up properly on the small computer I often use, so I ended up using Anki instead.
