iFlash is a virtual flash card program which will help you study almost anything. You can enter in the front and back of cards, and have iFlash play them back to you.
iFlash includes many great features to help you study. You can record audio directly into any flash-card (great for foreign languages), as well as attach images. Other features include an unlimited amount of card sides per deck, advanced importing and exporting, iPod support, quick-searching, and a beautiful interface that is strikingly similar to other iApplications (like iTunes and iPhoto).
Record and playback audio!
You can record and playback audio in your virtual flash-cards. Recording is easy; simply press the red Record button in the Inspector and talk! Your recording will automatically be compressed, and played back during the card show.
You can also import external audio files into your cards.
Download Decks from the iFlash Deck Library
The iFlash Deck Library, integrated into iFlash, is an easy (and free!) way to download card decks. You can effortlessly download the many various types of card decks other iFlash users have created (over 580 as of August!), as well as easily share your own. There are over 15 different categories of card decks, ranging from Chinese to Medical. And with a beautiful and easy to use interface, you'll be learning something new in no time.
Unlimited card sides
iFlash supports an unlimited amount of card sides per deck. For example, you could have one card side for a word, another for a definition, and another for an example sentence. You can, at any time, add or remove card sides. The possibilities are endless.
Image attachments
You can attach an image to any card side in your deck. The images will then be shown during the card show, along with any text or audio in your card.
Simple and Advanced Memorization
iFlash has three systems of memorization built-in, Simple Memorization, Score Memorization, and Interval Memorization. Simple Memorization gives each card two states, either memorized or un-memorized. Score Memorization assigns each card a numerical score. When the score reaches a customizable threshold, the card becomes memorized. Interval Memorization uses spaced repetition to help you learn over a longer period of time.
Study on the go!
Have an iPod? You're ready to study on the go! Using the built-in iPod export, you can study any time you have your iPod. In addition, this feature works with any regular iPod and iPod photo (mini support coming soon). Say good-bye to paper flash cards forever!
Advanced importing and exporting
You can custom define how you want to import your text files, or pick from the three other preset formats. Also, iFlash now lets you easily customize the export template, so you can export your card deck any way you please.
Drag until you drop
You can drag and re-order your cards in any way you'd like, as well as re-order your categories. You can drag other card decks directly into the open deck. You can drag images directly onto cards. And, you can drag cards directly between open card decks.
Built for Mac OS X
iFlash is built using Apple's powerful Cocoa frameworks, and has a beautiful interface that is similar to other applications you know and love (like iTunes and iPhoto). We think you'll feel right at home studying with iFlash.
Limitations:
15 days trial.
What's New:
Fixed mysterious bug with interval memorization where the score would sometimes decrease over time
Fixed bug where when purchasing through PayPal on Mac OS X 10.4.7, iFlash would crash after the purchase
Holding the Option key while clicking the Remove button in a category will now send the card to the trash
iPod syncing now works properly with the latest iTunes/iPod updates.
