iFlash gets glowing review
This is what Inside the White Walled City has to
say in "Learning a Language in the Digital Age
"
For the money, features, or
whateverthehell™ else you take into account, iFlash is the best language
program out there. Sorry Windows users, this one is only available for Macs. Not
only does it support a sizable (and free!) library of user-inputted decks, but
you can also add image and audio files to your cards. The ease of use and
organization here are superb. When testing, the program remembers the
cards the user has gotten correct and will not repeat these during the next
test. If a card uses an image or audio file, these are copied into the deck
eliminating the need to manage two libraries. iFlash also has iPod
support, allowing you to learn on the go. It supports all characters in the
character palette and since it has image support the user can add things not
supported by the character palette, such as hieroglyphs and cuneiform. iFlash is
shareware costing only $10.
