Pros and cons of Mental Case — Flashcards for the Serious Student app for iPhone and iPad

Mental Case — Flashcards for the Serious Student app good for

I used this religiously throughout high school and Im using it once again in university. Once you get used to the not so intuitive UI, youll begin to appreciate how powerful a tool it is. Some things Ive found useful: - you can easily import decks from Quizlet using the apps built in search function. - the slide show mode reintroduces cards that are marked as missed, so youll get to try memorizing it again - other stuff, Im lazy but Mental Case is great.
Muito bom, sem comentários. O melhor........ This is the app!!
An own Web Interface would be Great to be able to make flashcards without a Mac.. Platform sync is okay but Not the best for Cross Device learning
If you need app to study flashcards - its the best one. Moreover, new iCloud sync works almost like a magic.
Older version(s) became unstable after about 700-1000 cards. Other than that it worked fantastic. I especially liked how easy it was to make new cards on the iPhone. Im hoping the new version will permit me to make 1000+ cards but Im afraid to try it and see...
If you stay on top of adding cards, this becomes a solid addition to studying - flashcards are ready for whenever you have a few minutes! Works wonderfully with the mac program (which is easier to type your cards into initially)

Some bad moments

Great idea but simply does not work even marginally on an IPad. Cant download half of my Quizlet study sets. Functions not intuitively obvious. Little useful information available. Just does not work. Wasted my money.
This app seems like a good idea but is terrible in its execution. Yea the app on the computer is pretty well done but how can a company fail so hard on the phone/tablet version? In terms of its functionality: how are you not able to make flash cards on the app itself?? Why is the syncing of the computer version and the app so terrible? It literally does not work...at all. Its not user friendly to try and figure it out and I am not at all inept when it comes to computers etc. why not just a simple "transfer to app" or import from computer? Bluetooth notecard stack transfer? Anything than what you guys have. Its completely useless and i regret buying this app. Dont waste your money
Its not working so far. Very unstable. Although Ive reseted the iCloud sync several times its only working very seldom. Please improve!!
Mental Case II allows to sync with the Mac app only via iSync which DOES NOT WORK. the previous method, via WIFI transfer, which worked fine, no longer exists.
Having been a long time customer of Mental Case (IOS and Mac) I’m very disspaointed with the new Mental Case 2. Sync between devices (MAC & IOS) doesn’t work any more. The ICloud sync switch on my IOS device is greyed out. Even in case it somehow works, it definitely doesn’t work in a user friendly way. And the latter is what you pay money for as a client.
From a newsletter: Mental Case will remain available for a while in the Mac App Store." Happens now the second time to me, that they make you buy a new software (they call it here "Studies 1.0", the last time they called it "Mental Case 2.0"). Also this time, the software wont get better, sync was hell.
