I find Quizlet more useful for actually learning vocabulary - but Anki's SRS is probably
useful for long term revision. But given it is easy to export from Quizlet to Anki, get both. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

One more thing:
Anki is basically one circle of anki apps but you can import the content or export it as you like. But there are no "Anki clones" around. Quizlet has attracted a bunch of flashcard apps (usually crappy, including the paid ones) that draw from the flashcard set database but they are just the cards, not SRS. So, be careful when searching for the app to not get (and pay for) something worse accidentally. Actually, the Quizlet app itself appears to have gone through a lot of updates so some of the issues I disliked in past may have been changed. Giving it another glance now, I think the various games are actually a great thing. I don't think the SRS part is the core of the Quizlet and Anki si great at that. But if it is simple to move my own content from anki to quizlet, I am now considering it! Any simple instructions on how to do it? I suppose it will be easily googlable. I hope so. Because the shared content of Quizlet is either all bad (which I don't think) or it is just hard to search it without knowing exactly the name of the deck. I wish I could just use filters like "Spanish, 1000+ items". Is it possible by chance? Thanks for the thread, I think Quizlet may be a good tool for me afterall, even though more as a supplement to Anki, not a substitute. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey pingvin10, I use Flashcards Deluxe! I can't understand why more don't but it probably comes down to marketing and word of mouth. For others out there Flaschcards Deluxe certainly allows ANY side to be viewed first. On this website it compares a multitude of different flashcard apps, 163 apparently (not sure how recent it was updated): 163 Flashcard apps Anyway I can certainly vouch for Flashcards Deluxe, and a quick search on the iTunes Store (it's now also avail on android) shows that there's no shortage of 5 star reviews. I don't work for, know the developpers, or gain anything for vouching for this product, it just works. There are a hell of a lot of sophisticated options. With my French decks I enter cards directly into my phone through the app with a bluetooth keyboard. I'm not sure this is possible with Anki. Flaschcards Deluxe also gives a lot of statistics if that's what you're into and has multiple study modes. You can enter cards via a computer if you prefer that and download the decks to your phone. You can also backup your decks to Dropbox and other places. Anyway with my language decks I create them French on first side, English second side, other things on 3rd side such as phonetics or whether a noun is masculine or fem. You can have more than 3 sides if you so desire. You can download audio (text to speech) or record it yourself, add pictures, do question answer format, create decks with multitude of other decks contained within one deck. Basically there's a LOT of options (much more intricate than mentioned). With my language decks I create my initial main deck and then a duplicate 2nd deck. In the first deck French under the option "show side first" I select 'side 1' which correlates to French, thus French always comes up first when using this deck of flashcards. Then I have created a 2nd duplicate deck, which requires no more work than a few minutes to create and from then on it automatically duplicates what is in my main 1st deck. However with this 2nd deck in the option "Show side first" I select side 2 instead and therefore English (on the second side of my cards) shows first when using this 2nd deck. I even have a third deck that contains the first deck duplicated again but in the show side first setting, ANY (random) side can appear first, and in that deck I can simply 'play' the deck in a automatic play mode and listen to it in my car through the stereo. So, plenty of options. FD is worth considering. Edit: For FD study modes the options are: Ordered Random Short term goal / Leitner Spaced Repitition Spaced Repition settings include: Cards become new in: random / ordered Max new cards: 10 is default but can be anywhere between 0-200 New to active after: 1,2,3,4 or 5 correct (ie cards become part of your active SRS system after being created as new cards after you get them correct the number of times allocated) Max cards in round: default = 20 but can be modified to suit your choice Other SRS options include First interval after correct: First interval after strong: (there are 2 correct replies to cards- correct which is swipe sideways and strong swipe up which constitutes to knowing the card very well and therefore will reappear later depending on above settings) Minimum interval Maximum interval Target interval Max interval after wrong Wrong interval factor Correct interval factor Early correct factor Strong interval factor Due cards priority Late review adjustment Postpone due date until Pushback due dates if none of it makes sense there all helpful simple tips within the app accessed easily in the corresponding areas. Or you can simply leave the default options in place. These are just the SRS options, which can be set differently for each of your decks. Combination decks can combine any number of other decks you like. I don't know much about Quizlet but I know this app supports it's use, whatever that entails i'm not sure. Other notable options not related to SRS include spelling, drawing and timed modes,, cards can be excluded, flagged, or categorized, they can be edited very quickly if you come across an error when studying... and so on. I'm touting this software because I feel almost that too many ppl feel Anki is their only decent option. It's definitely not.
