Comments on: Blog back up! And, an iFlash on iPhone update… http://www.davidmcgavern.com/2008/08/22/blog-back-up-and-an-iflash-on-iphone-update%e2%80%a6/ David McGavern blogging about Loopware, iFlash, and other fun stuff :-) Fri, 04 Dec 2009 06:20:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ha Yuanmu http://www.davidmcgavern.com/2008/08/22/blog-back-up-and-an-iflash-on-iphone-update%e2%80%a6/comment-page-1/#comment-236 Ha Yuanmu Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:04:13 +0000 http://www.davidmcgavern.com/?p=41#comment-236 Getting iFlash to work with an iPod Touch or iPhone would be the single best development for this device outside of iTunes. I'm looking for a way to get the benefit of old school flash cards to practice new business Chinese terms when I'm on the road, but see myself applying this to other languages and to practicing memorizing key points for banking deals I'm working on.

Soon there will be posts on how to use our iFlash card decks on an inferior application. We realize your personal time constraints impede development but there are throngs of people who view this blog and never say a word. Demand is very high but we need more than what has been promised and said. No one is expecting perfection on the first release, that's what updates are for anyhow. As we have all read from older post, there are other app developers willing to try and de-throne you; unfortunately they will, and we will all have to settle for less, unless of course iFlash for the iPhone/Touch becomes a reality promptly. In my own little remote corner of the world there are nearly a hundred people waiting for this application anxiously. I'm sure your pride as a developer keeps you from releasing a mediocer product but everything beyond the iFlash 2.7 format can be added/updated after the core release. The benefits of an iPhone (ie. creating cards) would be nice but I think I speak for most of us by saying that we would at least like to use our iFlash decks with our iPhones now just like we could on older iPods, and we will patiently wait for the expected improvements to come in the near future.

I lug my computer to and from university in order to take my iFlash with me, but long for the day I will only need my phone to drill on my flash cards!!! Thanks for your hard work. This is a great program that I often recommend to other students and having the iPhone application will make it even more enticing!

Still no mockups or even an explanation of how it might work. iFlipr and Anki are both good alternatives to iFlash and both developers are very active. iFlipr is the best native flashcard app for the iPhone at the moment. Anki has a much better spaced repetition implemetation than iFlash. An iPhone client is still being developed, but you can use it through its web app if you have an iPhone or Wifi access. Anki is also free. I also think iFlash on the iPhone is also vaporware. Still no mockups or even an explanation of how it might work.

I just checked out nearly all flash card programs for the iphone/touch and they all have major functional issues or lack features (like basic tagging or intelligent quizzing). An iFlash companion would do serious damage in the category. Please don't make us wait too long. Please!

However, it doesn't have some major things like the ability to put images on cards. I would certainly look at iFlash if it ever comes out - transferring cards from one program to another isn't very hard to do - but I'm pretty happy with "My Study Cards," which seems to be developing quickly. “My Study Cards” is a pretty good program with an extremely responsive developer.
