Great experience
After using Anki for years, I'm now using the free version of Brainscape and the experience is great. I'll keep using it and may well upgrade to the premium version to access all the features.

Excellent

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 am a hardcore visual learner, and the Brainscape flashcard UI has been wonderful. I have seen improvements in my certification renewal grades, and my decks have been helpful to other groups of users. I highly recommend Brainscape to anyone preparing for exams or wanting to learn interesting facts in a short amount of time.

Brilliant app, shows your ‘mastery’ and how long it thinks you should study for however to import information from a PowerPoint or notes into flashcards you need the paid version, although you can do maybe 6 imports without for free. I also wish it had a games feature like quizlet so it was more interactive. Overall, good!

Hi Leah! Brainscape's core focus remains on scientific learning principles and personalized learning experiences versus gamification. But we we do understand some have a preference and appreciate your feedback. Hopefully you'll continue studying with us! Chuckee@Brainscape

Brainscape is great for students of all ages who are wanting to learn new terms - from first grade students wanting to learn sight words, to older students learning a new language and beyond. It's a game changer and it's fun! For a more advanced feature, it would be great to see tables added as an option in order to keep things more organized for more difficult language concepts involving multiple tenses and cases. Overall, awesome program that every learner needs to try!

It’s very helpful, particularly the scale for how well you remember the terms.

Brainscape was an outstanding tool in helping me pass my sommelier exam. Yes, I read several great books on wine, but the Flashcard drills on Brainscape helped me lock in key facts.
