iFlash Touch: How to get decks onto your iPhone!
As part of iFlash Touch being submitted to the App Store, I am going to be posting details about the app all throughout the week. Stay tuned, as each day will bring more information!
You may be wondering how you will get decks into iFlash Touch? I spent a lot of time deliberating between a few options, and settled on using the existing wireless network in your home. So, to sync between iFlash and iFlash Touch, all you need to do is select your device from a toolbar menu:
Then, once you’ve exported the deck, it’ll show up in the list of decks on your iPhone!
… and that’s it! From here you can study all the decks you have on your iPhone.
Tomorrow I’ll post some screenshots detailing how your decks will look in iFlash Touch (the good stuff). :)

Looks Great! Fantastic idea Davey!
Can’t wait!
Interesting idea, I sort of assumed you would integrate it more with the online card libraries more though. At least this way I don’t have to share my cards online :)
Can’t wait for tomorrow! It all looks like sweet, sugary, goodness!
Awwww…. Here’s to still hoping there will be another way to get cards on there in the future so non-mac users can use iflash touch.
Looks good… Were you aware that there’s another app in the app store selling itself as iFlash?
There is already an app called iFlash on the app store… another one.
So this raisins the question, can you install iFlash Touch without the desktop version, then get decks via someone else’s desktop version? Will the desktop version find any iPohone/iPod out there–or only one that was linked to a single desktop app on installation?
Tres: I thought about that, but decided it would add too much extra bloat for a 1.0 release. I may add back Deck Library integration in the future, but for now you can always download the decks on your Mac :).
Ty: I’m definitely thinking about different ways for the future, but for now exporting from the Mac makes the most sense.
Mike & henry: Yup, I’ve spotted that one. The one from me will be called “iFlash Touch” :).
Spiritbear: the desktop version can connect to an infinite number of iPhones, so you can export decks from any Mac that has iFlash on it.
Davy, so technically a friend of mine could install iFlash Touch on his/her iPhone, allow me to download some decks on his/her device, and they are good to go to explore the wonders of iFlash Touch without first having to purchase the desktop app?
Davey – You’ve got to protect your copyright, or you’ll lose it. At the very least, I would email the owner of the app and Apple and explain that the name is yours.
Still can’t wait…
Mike: I have contacted the author about the matter :).
I have my iphone and mac connected to the same wireless network. have version 2.8.1 of iflash and the iflash touch application. help please!
