Anki Flashcards - Software Review

I've tested many Flashcard software options and I think one of the best is Anki. So for those of you who aren't aware of it I decided to write this review. Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn. Anyone who needs to remember things in their daily life can benefit from Anki Since it is content-agnostic and supports images, audio and videos, the possibilities are endless.

Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn. I must say that consistent use of Anki has really helped me intellectually more than I could have imagined. Considering the helpfulness of this tool as part of your language learning tool set, it's pretty remarkable that that they've provided this software open-source and free of charge. Anki receives a 4 out of 5 from me. The reason I don't give them a full 5 stars is because the interface and general disregard for design is a bit of a letdown, although technically not necessary.
