Mindframes Flashcards Japanese

If you are looking for an effective method to memorize Japanese, this flashcard app may be for you. It is based on the Leitner system and designed to enable you to make optimal use of your study time.

CARDS SORTED BASED ON TEST OUTCOMES. Cards are classified into five proficiency levels. Correctly answered cards are moved one level to the right, and incorrectly answered cards are moved to the left. This neatly separates unknown cards from those you already know.

EFFICIENT CARD SELECTION MECHANISM. The matrix-style card selection screen enables you to select cards by set and by proficiency level, in any combination you choose. You have fine-grained control over which cards to include in your next review session.

CARD "URGENCY" INDICATED THROUGH COLOR-CODING. Cards are color-coded on a spectrum from green to black based on their test history to indicate how urgently they are in need of review. You always have detailed information about the state of your flashcard deck at your fingertips.

JŌYŌ KANJI INCLUDED. A free Jōyō Kanji deck covering all 2,136 characters is included with the app. The app also contains free Hiragana and Katakana decks.

SUPPORTS 4-SIDED CARDS. The app supports flashcards with up to four sides. When studying Kanji, you can separately uncover the Kanji character, the kun'yomi reading, the on'yomi reading, and the English keyword.

SUPPORTS IMPORTING YOUR OWN FLASHCARDS. The app supports importing your own flashcard decks in *.csv and *.xlsx format. Using this functionality requires an in-app purchase.

OVER 50 VOCABULARY DECKS AVAILABLE. Interested in Food? Animals? Movies? Politics? Law? Computers? Furniture? Mathematics? Sports? Vocabulary decks for more than 50 subject matter areas are available as in-app purchases.

NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Mindframes does not run a back-end server and does not require any registration or login. In-app purchases are processed by Google Play through your Google account.

WORKS OFFLINE. Other than to complete an in-app purchase, no internet connection is required to use the app, so you can practice your cards on the subway, on an airplane, or wherever you go.

EXPORT FLASHCARD DECKS TO FILES. Save your flashcard decks to external files that store cards contents, proficiency state, learn history and deck settings. Make backup copies to protect your flashcard data, transfer your decks to other devices or share them with other users.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR STUDY. Versatile settings enable you to change the order in which card sides are displayed, select the number of proficiency levels by which unknown cards are demoted, control the order in which cards are shown during review sessions, change the algorithm for computing card "urgency", and edit card contents.

USE SPACED REPETITION. The card selection screen makes it easy for you to select for repetition precisely those cards that you find most difficult to remember, and skip the ones you already know. By repeatedly selecting cards in lower proficiency levels on the left side of the screen, cards that you have already mastered will gradually get excluded from your review sessions, and cards that are difficult for you will show up with ever-increasing frequency.

NO AUTOMATIC SCHEDULING. Unlike other flashcard apps, there is no algorithm that tries to decide for you which cards you should review. A card scheduling algorithm that is flawed will lead you to spend too much time on cards you already know (and too little on the cards you really need to focus on), which can impair your performance and slow down your progress. With Mindframes, the decision which cards to review is always up to you.
