The most effective web and mobile flashcard app.✓ Securely find, create, and share digital flashcards, then optimize studying using proven cognitive science. Perfect for educators and students; school, foreign languages, professional certifications, and more! Brainscape's learning system is based on several decades of cognitive science research into how people learn best. Using a combination of active recall, metacognition, distributed practice, spaced repetition, and interleaving study, Brainscape's algorithm ensures that you are studying each flashcard in the format, pattern, and interval that best optimizes your speed of learning and length of retention. If you're a teacher, professor, tutor, or employee trainer, Brainscape also allows you to easily collaborate with many colleagues (or with students themselves) to create the flashcards, and to track over a dozen different metrics about your students study and mastery patterns. With Brainscape, you can feel confident that your students are studying in the most effective way possible, so you can instead focus on what you're best at!

I've been using Brainscape to prepare…
I've been using Brainscape to prepare for my studies, and I honestly can't imagine going back to traditional methods. The flashcard system is incredibly intuitive, and the spaced repetition algorithm makes sure I'm reviewing material at just the right time — right before I'd forget it!
What really stands out is how easy it is to create custom decks for any subject. Whether I'm tackling a brand-new topic or reinforcing existing knowledge, Brainscape keeps me on track and motivated. The confidence-rating system is a brilliant touch — it puts me in control of my learning pace, and I've noticed a huge difference in how well information actually sticks.
The app is clean, fast, and works seamlessly across all my devices, so I can squeeze in a study session whether I'm on my phone during a commute or sitting at my desk. I've tried a lot of study tools over the years, but Brainscape is the one that's actually helped me retain new content and feel genuinely prepared.
Very simple to use

I'm using it for studying SQE Law exam and its really helping. I particularly like the fact I can paste research subject matter from Google into it and the inbuilt AI will arrange the data into questions and answers in flashcard format. This saves me tons of time, which for someone like me who is self-studying it is key. Would definitely reccommend to anyone studying. I used ankidroids first but Brainscape is miles better.

Brainscape Is a Great Study Tool
My experience with Brainscape was great. It decreases study time and reinforces material. I also like the emails that I get from Brainscape because they are full of tips on how to study better, how to increase efficiently, and how to be motivated to study, all backed with research!
Brainscape— a student’s BEST friend
I believe Brainscape does very well in what it is made to do. As a subscriber, I think the subscription cost could go down, because it give people like me (an eighth grader full of terms and definitions to memorize and not good at doing so) a change to up their grades and get better at what they are learning. Brainscape’s study method is off the charts—in a good way; straight A’s was never a thing before I tried this app. I’ve gone through so many study apps, and by far, this is the best one yet.
Thanks Brainscape!
I also love their YouTube channel and Emails I get from them. They have awesome tips that actually work!

I can only say great things about this application. I use it for my German learning and I find it really useful and it helps me to learn my vocabulary everyday.
It's so worth it, and has benefited me greatly
Brainscape has made an incredible difference in studying and retaining information over several years. It's customizable precisely to you, and editable on the fly. You can also import from others with the same interests/study requirements, saving much time. Whether it's for an exam or for a working professional who needs to ingest massive amounts of data in a short time, it's a fantastic tool. Don't hesitate to give it a try, or just jump all the way into the pool like I did. It's great.
Great app with great accessibility…
Great app with great accessibility across all your mobile devices.
Just a little difficult to get used to the web page when you’re studying material from someone else. Otherwise great experience. I’ll update in a few months after I get used to all the different ways to make it easier. I’ll be more experienced then.
