Brainscape’s intelligent revision system is designed around proven cognitive science principles that help you learn faster and remember longer. By combining active recall, metacognition, and spaced repetition, Brainscape helps serious learners spend less time revising and retain more of what they learn.
How Brainscape works
Revise any subject using smart flashcards designed to maximise retention:
* Actively recall answers instead of passively rereading notes
* Rate your confidence from 1–5 after each card
* Let Brainscape automatically optimise review timing using spaced repetition
* Focus more time on difficult concepts and less on material you've already mastered
This unique combination of active recall, self-assessment (metacognition), and spaced repetition is designed to help you revise more efficiently.

Great App for Studying

I recommend for your active recall studying. It’s very easy to import materials, just run a transcript into AI and ask it to make flashcards in CSV format and you can easily paste it here in the app and start studying. I love also that I can login anywhere using my google account and everything syncs in. This is definitely going to be a lifetime thing!
Love it

It’s sooooo useful and I found this app way better that all the others in this category and I’ve been using this since 2 years and my grades have increased so much. And I also prefer making my own flash cards cuz it’s more fun. Amazing app FRRL
Always lagging, not offline option, App and website always down

The app is almost always down, it takes really long to download, wouldnt recommend for people who want to study offline as it doesnt even have the feature. I bought the subscription a really long time ago and everytime in trying to study and log in it takes so long and then goes down again. Also there isnt an app for a macbook only available on iphones and ipads.
No big features this time. Just bug fixes and a little nudge to remind you that 2 minutes of studying still counts as studying. You’re stacking neurons. We’re proud of you.
