Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Simple Flashcards, from browsing sample decks to creating your own.
Why did you make this?
I created Simple Flashcards while cramming for midterm examps during my masters degree. I was studying with AI and had it create me a set of flashcards. I needed a way to quickly visulaize the cards, flip through them and take them with me to study on the go. There are many great flashcard tools out there but they all require signups and do not allow for bulk creating flashcards. This app fixes that.
