Brainscape is great with helping my team retain information
Brainscape is great with helping my team retain information that may not see every day. It also helps with consistent messaging across the team so our customers are getting excellent service from everyone. It would be good if I could get precise data on how long they have spent on Brainscape learning each week. There is a hack way to do it but it takes me a little bit of time and isn't 100% accurate.

So glad Brainscape is boosting your team's knowledge and customer service! That's a win! Regarding precise weekly learning time – could you share more details on the challenges you're facing and your current workaround with our support team at [email protected]? Your insights will help us make it better. Thanks in advance, JJ! Chuckee@Brainscape

I've used this app for learning a new language
I've used this app for learning languages, I like the colors for each level. I´ll be happy if I could have a list of the new vocabulary. Thank you very much for your help!
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 21, 2025
Thanks for the feedback, Lory! So glad you like the level colors for language learning! 😊 Did you know you can easily create your own vocab lists as flashcards? Use our AI to generate them, upload your existing Q&A files (like docs or sheets), or even upload images! This way, you can focus on the exact vocabulary you need. Let us know if you have any questions ([email protected])! Chuckee @ Brainscape

Amazing!
Probably the best flash card app I’ve ever used. But the AI feature doesn’t really work. Otherwise 10 out of 10.
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 18, 2025
Thanks Anaya! Could you email our support team ([email protected]) with whatever source material you're trying to convert to flashcards with AI? We're always working to improve our models, and having access to sample files that DON'T lead to great AI flashcards is the most useful way we can keep filling in all the edge cases. Thanks in advance :)

You won't learn a language with spaced repetition, but it is a useful tool to add vocabulary and some grammar rules. I do like that I can be on the PC, my Chromebook, on the phone anywhere and at anytime and add words or things I want to try and retain
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 16, 2025
Hi there, D Murray! Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're glad to hear that you're finding the flexibility of our platform useful for adding vocabulary and grammar rules, especially with the ability to access it on multiple devices. It's true that language learning is a multifaceted process, and while spaced repetition is a powerful tool, the effectiveness can greatly depend on the content of the flashcards and how they align with your learning goals. Most of our users have reported successful experiences with language learning using our methods, and we appreciate your insights as they help us improve. If you have any specific suggestions or content you’d like to see, please feel free to share! Happy learning, and thank you for being part of our community! Chuckee@Brainscape

Brainscape has helped me for 2 years learn European Portugese.
Brainscape has helped me for 2 years learning Portuguese. The ability to pick up on different devices depending on where I am is aces. The customization is also great, as are the standard courses. The only thing I haven't liked is the lack of predictability. Sometimes I'll be at 75% on a deck on my iPad but when I start up the same deck on my phone, it'll go back to 50% (or something). Not a huge problem, and compared to the many features not a particularly important one. I use this app more or less every day and if you are trying to learn something new (especially language) it's a great, cost-effective tool.
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 16, 2025
Hi James! Two years of Brainscape love – we appreciate that! 😊 Regarding the progress discrepancy you've noticed between devices, that's usually resolved with a quick manual sync. While the app generally syncs automatically when you pull down on the screen within a deck, a manual pull-down can ensure everything is up-to-date across your iPad and phone. If you continue to experience this or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. They're always ready to assist! Keep up the fantastic work with your Portuguese! Chuckee@Brainscape

Yahhh
Amazing! Only thing I’d appreciate is adding photos on the free version but everything else is perfect!
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 16, 2025
Thanks for the love, Anastasia! "Close to perfect" – we'll take it! 😉 About wanting photos in the free version... we get it! While it's a Pro perk, It might be worth dropping sending an email to our support wizards at [email protected] as they sometimes have special offers that could make adding those visuals a reality for you.

Flashcards
I have used the app for probably 10 years now correlated with other simultaneous ways of trying to learn French. It is very helpful because it is mobile and I can use it when I have a few minutes in any situation. It allows looking up saved expressions and vocabulary quite easily in a way that other apps do not and refreshes memory easily. Highly recommend it.
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsApr 16, 2025
Oh wow, ten years! That's incredible dedication to learning French, and we're so honored Brainscape has been a part of that journey alongside other methods. Thanks for the high recommendation, RB! Chuckee@Brainscape
