Our verdict
Pick Amazing Flash Cards if you want to write your own cards in a clean, private app and pay little or nothing. If you want shared decks, a spaced repetition schedule or study games, a larger flashcard app will serve you better.
What Amazing Flash Cards is
Amazing Flash Cards is a single-user app for making and studying your own flashcards. You write cards in an editor or generate them with AI from PDFs, images and prompts, then study them with Correct and Incorrect buttons. Premium adds images, audio, rich text, subdecks, iCloud sync and extra study modes such as multiple choice, match and type-the-answer. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
