Brainscape - Smart Flashcards 4.20240415

Brainscape’s SMART FLASHCARDS offer a highly effective method of studying and cultivating strong study habits to enhance your learning speed. It is equipped with the most advanced implementation of spaced repetition and active recall among all flashcard applications available. These features have been designed in accordance with proven cognitive science principles to help you learn faster and retain information for longer periods.

The app provides access to a vast knowledge bank created by millions of global users and experts. This allows you to easily find, create, and share flashcards at any time and from any device. Furthermore, the app ensures that all your content remains meticulously organized and synchronized across web, mobile, and other devices.

Now, let's explore how Brainscape works. The intelligent study system distills any subject into manageable pieces of knowledge presented in the form of question-and-answer pairs. By actively recalling this information, you are encouraged to engage with the material directly. After each interaction with a flashcard, you rate your understanding of the concept on a scale of 1 to 5. Brainscape then determines the optimal time interval at which to review that flashcard again.

If you demonstrate a strong comprehension of a particular concept, you will see the associated flashcard less frequently. However, if your understanding is weaker, the app will present the flashcard at more frequent intervals until the information becomes deeply ingrained in your memory. The unique combination of active recall, self-assessment, and spaced repetition has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce study time.

Brainscape sources its flashcards from three main channels:

• The world's top experts: The app partners with renowned publishers, schools, and educators to curate comprehensive collections of certified flashcards covering various subjects such as foreign languages (making it the leading language-learning tool) and high-stakes exams like AP series, MBE (bar exam), Series 7, NCLEX, MCAT, and many more.
• Your peers: Brainscape's Knowledge Genome contains over 1 million subjects created by top students, professors, teachers, tutorpreneurs, and businesses from around the world. These subjects are easily searchable and accessible within the app.
• Your contributions: Users have the ability to create their own multimedia flashcards effortlessly. These flashcards can incorporate text, images, and even audio files. Additionally, Brainscape allows users to collaborate with classmates and jointly develop content.

Pricing for Brainscape varies based on the level of access and features desired. Creating and sharing text flashcards is free. However, image creation incurs a fee for security reasons. To gain unlimited access to all user-generated and premium, expert-curated content, as well as optional features like bookmarks and card reversibility, users can upgrade to the Pro plan. The Pro plan is available on a monthly basis for $19.99, every 6 months for $59.99, or annually for $95.99. Alternatively, a one-time payment of $199.99 grants users lifetime access to Brainscape's extensive learning resources.

It is important to note that the three recurring subscription options renew automatically within 24 hours of the current subscription period's conclusion unless auto-renewal is disabled at least 24 hours prior. Users have the ability to cancel auto-renewal at any time through the Account Settings menu. Cancellation takes effect after the active subscription period ends.

Looking ahead, Brainscape's vision is to empower individuals worldwide to embrace lifelong learning on a personalized level. The app greatly values input from its user community, as it is through this feedback that the platform can continue to evolve and improve, providing a more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable learning experience.
