Flashcards are one of the most commonly used study techniques among students. And yet, when making and using them, it’s hard to know whether you’re utilizing them correctly. Are you covering the right things? Retaining the important parts? It can be hard to track, and even harder to stay focused. It is a self-testing method, after all.
That’s where flashcard apps come in. Apps and their methods are created with the most effective study processes in mind and can be tailored to each individual’s needs. Not to mention, digital cards and accompanying materials are easier to make than physical cards.
But which app do you choose? Well, here is a list of the best flashcard apps of 2022.
