Review summary

Reviewers praise Ebbinghaus for offline, ad-free, minimalist use with unlimited decks and simple flashcard creation. However, recurring issues include a confusing start/review flow, inability to select/preview decks, lack of shuffle, and limited deck management. UX refinements and feature additions could unlock its full potential while preserving its lightweight, offline nature.

Pros

Offline mode; no internet required.
No accounts, no ads or upsells.
Simple, minimalist UI that's easy to use.
Unlimited decks and flashcards.
Efficient workflow for creating and reviewing flashcards.

Cons

UX friction and unclear start/review flow, making it hard to begin studying.
Inability to select or preview decks to review; deck selection is not obvious or functional.
No shuffle or randomization; cards are shown in added order.
Limited deck management (no easy reordering/moving of decks).

2026-03-26	Ma*****	This is a simple flash card app. You do not need an account. You don’t even need Wi-Fi. You’re not bombarded with ads, and I just cannot think the developer for taking the time to create something like this. If possible, could you please update it so I can move decks because they’re in just kind of whatever order I created them, but it would be nice if I could kind of just organize them a little nicer and move them around but other than than that, it’s absolutely perfect! 😊

2025-03-05	hl*****	The app is great, it’s minimalist and usable offline. I would like it better if there was an option to shuffle the cards in both the Spaced Repetition mode and Free Review mode since the app’s two modes (as far as I know of) currently only present the cards in the order that they were added to the decks. It would also be nice to have the option of studying multiple decks in one session. If these features could be added in an update, that would be great!

2024-12-29	Bu*****	Not sure how to start the flash card portion. It just lets me add cards, then there's a button that says "Nothing to review today" which does nothing. UPDATE: go to the cards screen and click the text "X to review" or "X total" to start the lessons. UX nightmare please make it more obvious, add a play triangle button or something!
