The flashcards are great but I do not think you should have to have pro to add pictures to your flashcards.

I love the app
I love the app, the only thing that i would change is to add the chance to select a random order for the flashcards (it is easier to use when you want to recap something)
Response from Brainscape - Smarter FlashcardsFeb 13, 2024
Thanks for the review! Please note that you actually CAN choose a random order. You can toggle the switch on the Class screen from Progressive to Random .... OR (if you're studying a single deck) you can tap the "gear" icon in the top-right of the study screen (in the mobile app) and choose Random. Hope that helps. Best of luck in your continued studies!

Great product
I have really enjoyed studying with Brainscape, it helped a lot. It is intuitive and easy to use. I also ended up getting their newsletter which was often an interesting read. The only thing to criticise is the fact that you can't seem to edit any cards or submit a request for it to be reviewed. I found a handful of errors in the set I used and would've liked to change the cards so I wouldn't have kept misremembering something.

Thanks Lisa! Please note that if you click the edit 'pencil' icon on any flashcard in any "Brainscape-certified" class (that we and our publisher partners moderate ourselves), then you *can* indeed suggest an edit to us. In fact, we often reward top contributors so we can constantly improve our content. However, you are right that you cannot suggest edits to *user*-generated classes that have not been explicitly shared with you by their creator. We do this in order to prevent abuse. Our platform is used by many middle- and high-school students (as well as by grad students and professionals), and those kids may be creating content that becomes public for other kids to use. So if we would just allow any creep to be able to "contact" a young creator by way of "suggesting an edit", that would be in violation of many child privacy policies and would prevent schools from being able to use Brainscape. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for your review and your feedback, and we wish you continued success with your studies!

Great, intuitive app
Brainscape is a very user-friendly, intuitive app that was an absolute lifesaver for me while studying for my WSET wine exam. I was able to search existing flash cards & easily add my own questions. The confidence rating feature is really helpful in reinforcing concepts that I was having a harder time learning. I have tried it for other subjects as well & highly recommend for anyone looking to learn something new.
