A few small fixes. Buttons and labels that were cut off or broke in the middle of a word now fit, mostly with the app in Spanish. The close button on several sheets now sits fully on screen. Long folder names no longer push their card count out of the chip. With cards selected, the share button now reads properly. With the app in Spanish, each card's status label on the Tarjetas tab is now singular.

Study with your class. Up to two weeks before an exam, the folder's panel offers to send its cards to classmates sitting the same exam. Your exam date can go with them, and Quat asks your classmate before using it. Got cards from a classmate? Copy their whole message, then tap Paste on the welcome screen or on the Cards tab while you have no cards of your own, or use Save clipboard to a note on the AI tab. Once they're added you can study them straight away, set the exam date or send them on. Quat also offers to share right after you make cards from a note, and sharing a folder from a practice exam's results now puts your score in the message. Profile has a new row: Give a classmate Quat. Tapping an exam reminder now opens that folder's final review. The due-cards reminder no longer stacks up, one for every session you finish, and it's in the app's language. Before it first sends anything to AI, Quat now asks for your OK and says where your material goes. You can change your answer in Profile under AI processing. Quat now lists Spanish as a language. Picking a photo no longer asks for access to your photo library, and the permission messages say where photos and recordings are sent.

Set an exam date on a folder. On the Cards tab, pick the folder and tap Set exam date. Every card in it then comes back once in the last 3 days before the exam, spread across those days so nothing piles up on the night before. The folder shows how many days are left and today's plan: how many cards are due and how many are up to date. Review just that folder, or sit a practice exam on it. Your next exam also shows on Explore. In the 3 days before the exam, Final review takes you through every card you haven't reviewed in those days yet, weakest first. If notifications are on, Quat reminds you when the last 3 days start and the evening before. After the exam it asks how it went, so you can set the next one.

Record a whole lecture. Recordings longer than 10 minutes are now transcribed in 10-minute parts, one after another. Keep Quat open while it reads them: a minute or two for every 10 minutes recorded. Recording keeps going when your phone locks. If your free transcription runs out partway, what's done stays and the rest is saved on your phone. Subscribe and it carries on by itself, or tap Transcribe the rest next month. It's added to the same note. Recordings now take about a third of the space.

Choose how many cards to make. Tap Generate on a note, or From image, and Quat suggests a number first — about one card for every 40 words of the note, or 10 for a photo — and you can type any number from 1 to 50. If a note already has cards, it suggests how many more, and tries not to repeat the questions you already have.

Send a folder to a classmate in one message. On the Cards screen, pick a folder and tap the share button under it, or share it from the results of an exam on that folder. Your classmate copies the whole message, opens Quat and taps Paste. The cards arrive as new, in a folder named after yours. Your own review history stays with you, and opening the same message twice adds nothing. There is no password to send separately. To keep a deck private, switch on "Lock with a password". If they install Quat from your message, they can paste it from the welcome screen. If they already use Quat, it's "Open a shared deck" at the bottom of the Cards screen.

A small fix: the exam screen's length buttons now fit on one line in every language.

Choose where your notes go. When you save a capture, pick a folder — or make a new one right there — and the cards made from it go in the same folder. Sit an exam on just one folder. Before you start, you see how many cards it has, how many need work and how many are new. Add to a note you already have. A new capture can go to the bottom of an existing note, and its cards join that note's cards. When you make cards from a note you've added to, only the new part is used, so you don't get the same cards twice. The Cards screen has a folder row, and headers now fill the screen on iPad.

A completely new look. Quat is now dark, bold and built like a game. A study trail shows the days you studied, where you are today, and how many cards are due on each of the next few days. Reviewing has combos, a progress bar and a proper finish — and levelling up is an occasion now. There are sound effects. They follow your silent switch, and you can turn them off in Profile. They never play while you are recording a lecture. Games, exams and capture have all been redesigned to match. Your notes, cards and review schedule are exactly as you left them.

You can now reach me from inside the app. There is a Help panel in your profile: report a problem or ask for help, and the app fills in its version and your device so you do not have to. Sharing a deck now sends a message that explains itself and carries a link, instead of a code with no explanation attached. Photographed handwriting reads better. More importantly, where a word genuinely cannot be read it is now marked rather than guessed at — so you can see what to check before it becomes a card, instead of finding out weeks later that a card says something you never wrote.

New: capture from files. Choose a PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel document — Quat reads it and turns it into a note and flashcards, each stamped with where it came from.
