Eidetic - Spaced Repetition App Reviews

Leave the price at .99 cents and youll have more customers, including me. Until then, I wont pay to upgrade.

This app is great for memorizing things. It is relentless at asking you to recite an item until you begin to do so successfully. Then it spaces refreshers out over time to make sure you dont forget. The new learning mode really fills a gap--now the app is good for more than just testing your memory, since you can practice several different ways. Two-way Evernote sync would be nice (so I can add items to my Eidetic archive from Evernote), but otherwise this app is great. Im @benwhiting on Twitter if you would like to discuss further.

Then you guys should use your own app to learn how to memorize, "memorise" as you guys put it. Dont mean to be mean but come on, seriously. Look at what your advertising? And you cant even spell the word that you claim your app can help you do? Only reason I downloaded program. So you can fix that in your description.

Its a wonder no ones come up with this idea already. Its clearly a staple to education (or even leisure) to memorize certain things. I intend to use this to recall poetry and passages for debate team later on, as well as a few French passages for a foreign language competition. This app should be very helpful in both! However, nothing in this app allows for memorization of foreign words and their translations, so Im pretty disappointed. (Hence the loss of 1 star.)

But I like it so far. And Btw Sir/maam 9snefafiea7347 (Memorise) is the British spelling for it... Dont be so judgmental. Sometimes u end up looking stupid

The app is very effective. My suggested tweaks would be (1) a way to organize or search archived facts; (2) a way to define "sets," when there is more than one answer and the ordering does not matter; and (3) a way to see what I entered when I get something wrong. (For long answers, Im often pretty sure I typed the right thing but may have had a small typo.)

@9snefafiea7347...I have no affiliation with the app or its designer(s) but wanted to show them some love and explain to those who may not download the app based on your negative review that "memorise"is the British spelling of the word memorize.

Does just as advertised. When you need to memorize a quote or phone number in only a day, Eidetic will hound you repeatedly until it is complete. If you get it wrong, it is easy to remind yourself of the correct version. I particularly like that this app is founded in the science of memory recall.

I normally have difficulty memorizing things—especially lists. I used the app to memorize the NATO Phonetic Alphabet and it worked really well. The tests are well-spaced and I like the push notification reminders. Will definitely be using again to memorize other things.

They dont let you try more than one without shelling 2 bucks. A bit obnoxious. 99 cents seems more fair than 2 dollars.

Deleted 4 days after downloading. I entered a word to learn, and the app asked me several times a day if I remembered it. Not useful to me! And nobody memorized phone numbers anymore!

Great app loved it but adding a new word in iOS 8, the app is unable to access the dictionary? Please fix asap!

I liked this app while I was trying to memorize phone numbers, important dates and other items. However, when the app thought I learned the item, it then archived the item forever. As a result, those facts were eventually forgotten, of course. There MUST be periodic testing, even of memorized things, or facts will be forgotten. This is a very basic concept of learning, so I am amazed that it isnt included in this app. Additionally, I can find no way to contact the developer--not within the app, the app description page, or the linked web site. I would have liked to have written him regarding this issue and given him a chance to fix it rather than leaving a negative review.

having paid for the pro version on my iPad, I was very disappointed to learn that I would have to re-buy the pro version for my iPhone. in addition to having to spend more money for something I had already paid fro, there is no way to sync your content accross devices, so facts that you spent time inputting into the iad version has to be re-input from scratch ion the iPhone version, assuming you were willing to spend money on something you already bought. when I attempted to contact cistomer support - twice - abouty this issue, I never recieved a reply. the first time I gave them 2 weeks to reply, and the second time I gave them a week. this product is a ripoff if you are planning on using it across multiple devices. I found a number of much better, syncable flashcard apps that allow me to populate content across both of my devices.

The app no longer provides a reminder when it is time to take a test.

I like the app and find it very useful. However the one improvement I could see is to be able to see my answers when wrong. When I write a longer answer in my lists, it may be wrong but it will show me the right answer in red. However, a majority of the time I believe Ive gotten right. So Im not sure if I misspelled it or what.

shows potential but is basically unusable

There always will be some idiots that do not know why that an not get the pro. Like I said, it works to me for both iPad and iPhone version and do not need to buy the pro again. The app is awesome. But still need some work, cuz the app is out of update. Please fix it and add more future like you can just list the thing and do not need to write an answer. Also, it would be much better to have a widget.

This is a complete waste of time. Do not download this!!!!

It crashes every time I open the app. I have to try at least 3 times to open the app its very annoying. I redownloaded, it keeps happening. I use iPad Air first generation with latest iOS. Other then that, the app itself is great.
