Hey thanks! That's really helpful. Noted!

You can jump ahead in any deck by holding the red trash button. Since the decks are ordered by frequency, you could probably jump ahead 1000-1500 words and then just get rid of any…

Thank you! Right now, the import is pretty rudimentary. It just parses and creates a new deck. I've been working on - and now will redouble my efforts based on the feedback here - …

Thank you! No - right now, CleverDeck doesn't even have any deck sharing functionality. Whatever you make is yours alone.

What do you think is a fair price for one of our 3000 word language decks? In the previous iteration of the app, people showed themselves willing to pay $15. Repeat revenue makes i…

We recorded it ourselves by interviewing and hiring local to us.

Sorry, I meant bandwidth metaphorically. I'm an indie dev, so I just don't have a ton of time to divide across so many things that need to get done.

Working on it! There's no really good way to do this on the device, so I need to build out a web app. But this is the number one most requested feature, so stay tuned :)

Thanks for the advice. I don't necessarily feel like I have nailed the business model right now - I'll see how it goes. More broadly speaking, I think the jury is still out on subs…

Pasting my response from below: Two things, I think. First, I was a long time power user of Anki and don't mean to disparage it, but I think CleverDeck has a much better user exper…

Thanks a ton for the feedback - very useful. And thank you for the bug report - I'll check that out (my initial guess is that you don't have the CARD DISPLAY set to play audio on t…

Shoot me an email at justin@cleverdeck.com with your email address and I'll make sure you get notified :)

Thank you! I probably don't have the bandwidth to support a full-blown API, but making a web app that makes bulk creation faster is a priority.

Yeah, my mental model for the app has been that the main list of decks "lives" in the center, the settings live on the right, and the actual studying happens on the left (you'll se…

Nothing fancy - objective C with core data. The backend is Django + AWS.

Completely local unless you make an account and turn on sync. In that case, they'll be stored remotely for the purpose of syncing between devices.

You can make your own decks and cards, and import decks from Quizlet or csv. I'm currently working on an accompanying web app that will allow importing of lists from more services …

Me, too :( It's next on the agenda.

Yeah, yours is the second comment along these lines and I think you're right. My thinking was that I wanted to differentiate it from the very gamey branding of apps like Memrise an…

Not right now - I quite like using it as a universal app on my iPad. To be honest, I'm not sure how I could significantly improve it with all the extra space.

I mean, yeah, Quizlet is massive. I'll never compete with their user-content library and community. They've never had a particular focus on spaced repetition, so I don't really see…

You can change most variables in CleverDeck's algorithm (the same one Anki uses), as well. If open source and super customizability are important to you, Anki is probably a better …

Thank you! That's a good idea for a feature :)

Pasting my response from below: Two things, I think. First, I was a long time power user of Anki and don't mean to disparage it, but I think CleverDeck has a much better user exper…

Yeah, I think you're right. The tagline can be improved. I'm kind of doing a balancing act right now - I've built out CleverDeck to be a fully functional SRS that could be used for…
