Flashcard Touch

($4.99) College student @rchastain tried out at least 8 flashcard applications before settling on Flashcard Touch. In her list “Apps Necessary for the College Student”, she writes: “I finally found my flashcard soul mate with Flashcard Touch. This app works directly with the popular flashcard website Quizlet.com which not only has a seamless outlet for creating your own flashcards but also allows you to access all of their nearly 2 million decks housed on their website. You can either load your flashcards onto your iPhone directly from Quizlet.com or create them on your iPhone. My favorite feature of Flashcard Touch is the ability to look up the online definition of a term when creating a flashcard on your iPhone. Instead of having to type in the definition, you simply click ‘online definition’ and it will search for the term online and input it into your flashcard. You can flip through the cards and mark if you answered them correctly and the terms you answered wrong will show up more often. Overall, this app has gotten me through every midterm and final in the last year and I owe it so much. [Thanks Flashcard Touch 🙂 ]”
