Eidetic - Spaced Repetition app for iPhone and iPad
Eidetic uses a technique called spaced repetition to help you memorise anything from important phone numbers to interesting words or facts.
It works differently from typical brain training apps by using items that have meaning and context.
Perfect for students looking to remember those key facts or anyone who wants to remember friends phone numbers, new bank details or just cool words, quotes or facts you come across!
Eidetic uses notifications to remind you when its time to test yourself. By spacing the tests out over time it helps you to retain the information in long-term memory, this is known as the spacing effect.
Built in flashcard types make it easy to add items:
• Dictionary
• Phone Number
• Fact
• Number
• Quote
• Note
Simple intensity levels allow you to select the length of the testing period. For those who need to remember the information quickly you can cram it into one day or if you want to learn it more naturally you can space it over 2 weeks or a month!
Intensity Levels:
• Cram - 1 Day
• Normal - 2 Weeks
• Casual - 1 Month
Pros and cons of Eidetic - Spaced Repetition app for iPhone and iPad
Eidetic - Spaced Repetition app good for
I got the Pro version to expand use scenarios but would be nice to have more specific test schedule options, as well as multiple choice mark options
Nice UI. Efficient amount of learning categories, not overwhelming. Havent used to full extend I would like because the main reason I thought this app would be useful is to help me with the language I am learning (Vietnamese), but it does not have dictionary support. Please add more language dictionaries or include the ability to import 3rd party dictionaries!
This app is AMAZING!!! I needed to learn a poem within a week and put each line on cram so I would learn it faster! This is truly the best thing thats ever happened to me!!!
Would love some actual hints and tips to help remember but the timing of the app to help you remember is great.
Great app to memorize whatever you want. The interface is simple and easy to use. The app itself is not annoying and disturbing.
It helps me to enlarge my vocabulary:)Great! And its the only one I bought.
Some bad moments
Dont install this. Is a empty box. You have pay for anything.
...and maybe I do t know how to use it. I created a dictionary entry that I wanted to remember. When the app tells me its test time, it asks me if I remember the definition. Every time I tap the "No" button, the app crashes.
Set up a test to remember a long number. Remembered it correctly, but was still told I was wrong. For an app that does a single thing, youd think it would actually do it.
A very well designed app, but the bug galore continues even after the latest update: frequent crashes, “null” prompts. I would most certainly buy the pro version, but not before the critical bugs are worked out.
Would be good if it worked I imagine. Definitely wouldnt buy until bigs worked out.
It started to doesnt work on mu 5s after the last upgrade. When i enter the programme, its quickly exits. So i cant do anything.
