Brainscape’s intelligent revision system is designed around proven cognitive science principles that help you learn faster and remember longer. By combining active recall, metacognition, and spaced repetition, Brainscape helps serious learners spend less time revising and retain more of what they learn.
How Brainscape works
Revise any subject using smart flashcards designed to maximise retention:
* Actively recall answers instead of passively rereading notes
* Rate your confidence from 1–5 after each card
* Let Brainscape automatically optimise review timing using spaced repetition
* Focus more time on difficult concepts and less on material you've already mastered
This unique combination of active recall, self-assessment (metacognition), and spaced repetition is designed to help you revise more efficiently.

I have been using Brainscape for many years now, at a lifetime subscription. It is the best in flashcard making and studying. I love the app and how much it has been updated regularly to include many changes like image upload and audio recording. Two features I would like to suggest to Brainscape developers is- 1. Revision feature to the number of decks that have been studied in a particular day, which can notify us as notifications, to revise those decks at regular intervals after maybe a couple of days or weeks, months for long term retainment of memory. Reminder notifications if decks have not been revised or studied in a long time would be helpful. 2. Rating of cards which is not learnt perfectly well keeps repeating till we learn those cards. If that happens every time, we may just want to skip it by rating the card as perfect. So better idea would be if some feature that lets us know which flashcards deserves our attention more at the end of one round of studying the deck and in the other round just revision of those cards in the end would be helpful.

This app is very good it has become a inevitable tool in my language learning journey. No annoying pop ups , adds or anything like that . A well oiled machine though I have small problem when I add a card in my deck it takes second to save not too long but it is slightly annoying sometimes I find the mail's are also useful good job
