Gizmo: AI Flashcards 4+

I don’t usually leave reviews - but I love this app. If you are someone who hates usual cue cards and finds it monotonous. THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU! Now some do say the lives in annoying, it can be but you can optimise this, such as making a mindmap in the 10 mins. Trust me it improves your performance SO much. The ai is insanely good. I love how you can have decks within decks and colour coding! Also love the way you get cut of at a word limit, it really does help you learn better!

I have 100% seen results with using this app everyday. Alongside blurting on a whiteboard and practice questions, I went from Cs and Bc to A*s. It is truly impressive! Obviously a lot of that was my own discipline.

The team behind this app are also lovely and genuine, I can only ask they stay this lovely and working just to make revision more accessible. I wish I had this for my GCSEs!! I recommend it to everyone I know, everyone LOVES it. It’s such a change of pace.

Highly, highly recommend if you need something more interactive (plus, the sounds and rewards you get from getting things right is like a conditioning method.)

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the rebrand - but the app itself is amazing so don’t let the cheesy style put you off!!! Ps. Hope to see more of the little star popping up throughout the app. He’s so cute.

Many thanks to this team for making revision accessible and so enjoyable. I can’t believe I get excited to revise now!

I have been using this since summer 2022 and it’s come a long way. Going to write another review cause I think they do read all of these and try to improve that app.

1. Key concern- it’s happened once and will it happen during A-Levels? There was a period of time when the app stopped working and users could not study. I have over 2000 Flashcards and need to use them for A-Levels this summer. With more users than ever is there a way to fix the glitchiness and unreliability?
2. Ineffective studying. The entire concept of the app is amazing and unique but some parts aren’t executed too well. If I have a flashcard more than 2 sentences it will only ask me for the first highlighted word then class it as ‘learnt’ so basically I am not learning half the content of my flash cards. The suggested multiple choice options are also sometimes questionable with isn't an issue but would be nice if we could change these on game mode so with the other options of ‘edit highlighted words’
3. The option to highlight multiple words on a device without a mouse e.g. iPad

Everything else though is wonderful - easy and accessible, free (please keep it this way and instead of really needed introduce add after AND ONLY AFTER 15 hearts are used - learning should not be inaccessible so right now is good), Active recall, fun concept, good use of ai, great use of streaks and overall a great app.

4/5

Really good but it would be even better without the heart/life feature. For two reasons: one, it’s really discouraging for students and makes it hard to jump back into the same pace of revision they would have had before the time ban. Second, during exam season, you can’t expect students to wait and stall their revision if this is the app they use (this happened to me).

It would just be much better without the heart feature; I find it really difficult to go through a stack (200+ cards) and make fewer than 15 mistakes. Being able to make as many mistakes would be much better. Other than that, the app is really great.
