Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsReviews of brainscape.com

Excellent product!

I use this app every day as my first lesson. I review words and use it to jumpstart the day's lesssons. I have created many of my own card sets and highly value this feature. I recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn another language as I am using it in conjunction with Babbel and Rocket and find it a valuable tool!

I have tried so many flash card apps, and Brainscape is definitely the best and most effective! By rating how well you know a word, the program will present it again to you at the appropriate interval. It’s easy to make your own cards, and there are many already available as well. Highly recommend!

I had created several flashcards on this site before finding Anki. When I went to export, I was told I'd need to pay the $20/mo subscription to unlock that feature. Anki is a hundred times better, less buggy, and contains way more features. Brainscape is overpriced and attempts to engage in vendor lock in by forcing people to pay to leave their platform. Edit: Brainscape is claiming in their reply that exporting is not locked behind the subscription. If they changed it, then their current statement is technically accurate. Back when I used it (January or October, don't remember), it absolutely was locked behind a paywall, and I have the Emails with support to prove it. Go on any Brainscape public forum that's more than 6 months old and you will see people complaining about this very issue. Their refusal to acknowledge this either means the reply comes from a recently hired employee not familiar with the old site, or someone that is blatantly lying.

Excellent. No ads, can customize your own cards or use other decks. The algorithm ensures you see more the cards you know worse, but won't let you forget the ones you already memorized.

Brainscape has been a time saver it makes studying so much easier especially for people on the go. What’s one device you always have with you? Your cell phone, right? With this app it makes studying so much easier because information is at your fingertips all of the time!

Excellent learning App. It works.

Brainscape has been an absolute gem!!! I use the app on my phone everywhere I go. It has been so helpful: 1. My confidence is stronger, 2. It is convenient, and 3. Most of all, it is completely organized already for me. The app is easy to use and user-friendly, and you get what you paid for! I would highly recommend this "perk" for anyone who is always on the go, students who also work, and anyone who prefers knowledge at their fingertips.
