Why is NoteDex the Best Flash card app? Better than Anki or Quizlet?

​

NoteDex is one of the best flashcards application software out there since it gives you a number of ways to make stacks of flashcards online - on the Web and with our apps - but in addition to allowing you to create your own flashcards you can also print and share your flashcards. In a sense you have unlimited cards to create and print many flashcards - no longer limited by the actual index cards you purchase. In fact, within a few weeks you might find you completely pay back your NoteDex purchase. In America, if you buy index cards as a pack of 50 in the store, it costs about $3 to buy. So definitely within about one study term and getting through 10 packets of cards you will have paid back your investment. And don't forget the trees you are saving as you create your million flashcards and flashcard sets, and you won't need to put them in box later.

​

NoteDex is also ideal for teachers - you can make and print index cards to use as study material with your students, or for your own lesson plans! One of our users is a teacher in China and creates handwritten flashcards that they then laminate. NoteDex gives you a great way to experiment with making a set of flashcards faster - that you could print on regular paper or actual index cards. With NoteDex you have this flexibility unlike any other app. You no longer have to struggle to generate flashcards on Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs and so on.

If you are learning you know that it is important for even a basic app to have features and study aids that help you memorize, features that allow you to see the reverse side of the cards, shuffle cards and keep track of your learning progress. NoteDex does just this and implements the Leitner learning model with customizable answers (Wrong/Not Sure/Right). We have designed an easy to use Study Mode that is just right level between keeping track of your learning, and also not getting too complicated. Particularly helpful when learning vocab for instance for your flashcards to study! Leitner model is a way to learn and quiz your cards and you can learn more about that in this article.

Don't have a Pen-Enabled Tablet?

Not everyone has a tablet with a digital pen, but that doesn't mean you can't have flashcards with handwriting. You can attach a pen tablet to your PC or Mac. They are very cheap, some even less than $50, and can really make a difference to your creativity and learning. Wacom and Huion make them. Not something you can do with Anki App or Quizlet app!

Share Flashcards Online with Classmates

After you make your own flash cards you can do your friends and favor and earn some credit when you create decks of flashcards and share with your friends. You can allow your classmates to only view specific decks, or even allow them edit permission to share the work so that you are not the only flashcard maker! Not all apps can do this. Whether you're a Student or a Teacher you can create flashcard decks to share online. You can also export your cards to PDF and images if you need flashcards to be printed or imported into other apps.

Classify Flashcards with Tags

If you are making flashcards you can classify them, so you only study a certain set of them, using category tags. You can tag cards with multiple tags, and tags can be specific to a study card stack or global to use on any stack. Filter on any tag to study just those cards. While we have made NoteDex look like a fairly simple app, the truth is that it is a very powerful app!

​

NoteDex - the Best Flashcards App?

We'll let you decide, but we leave you with one thought.  NoteDex is a flexible notecard tool and as such it is used for much more than to create flashcards.  Sure, you can create printable flashcards, but what after? So when you are finished with school and studying you can continue to use NoteDex for your projects and professional work in everyday life after school.  In fact, most people use NoteDex just for that! Writers, Researchers, Professionals and Hobbyists use NoteDex for their personal knowledge management to create smart notes.  So your investment in NoteDex goes beyond just it's use for flashcards.  Does that sound like a smart move right? If this sounds like music to your wallet, enjoy the power of NoteDex for free for 7 days, sign in on either our website or download the app to use on your laptop or mobile phone. Thanks for checking us out!

The choice of a flashcard app is of course based on a number of factors, and here are some you should consider:

​

Free or Premium pricing:  Free apps are great except there is always a price to pay.  Whether it's watching an ad or the app using your data you do always pay, somehow (like how a free game work).  If you don't then the app may not last for long.  At NoteDex we do use a fee for using the web application, but we don't show any ads or sell your data.  All your data is private.  Ultimately this all part of the service, the economics of software.  But we think the price for NoteDex is fair for maximum accessibility by everyone. 

​

​

Availability on all your devices:  Do you need an app that works on Mac? How about app for the iPhone or iPad?  If you are creating flashcards on your Windows device do you need the accompanying flashcard app for iOS?  Are you using Android?  NoteDex app allows you to create with apps on iPad, Mac, Windows, Android and Web! Perhaps you are in the Library studying or on the go - you can use NoteDex on any and all of your devices unlike other apps.  Flashcards App for Windows Flashcards App for Mac Flashcards App for Android

​

Do you want to create flashcards with handwriting?  Not all flashcard apps on a personal computer support handwriting, or only do a limited amount. In NoteDex you can create handwritten flashcards on any and all your devices, even on the web - and you write on the front and back!  Using handwriting for maths flashcards is particularly useful

​

NoteDex can be considered a Flashcards Deluxe - a flashcard app that allows you to improve your study and lets you create and study your cards on any device.  Give it a try!
