Frequently Asked Questions
The best notecard app is the one that gets cards made and reviewed with the least friction. NoteFren creates note cards automatically from your notes, PDFs, and photos, then schedules reviews with spaced repetition — so you spend your time studying cards, not typing them.

Answer before you flip: say the answer out loud or write a keyword, then check. Review on a spaced schedule instead of cramming, and give extra reps to cards you miss. NoteFren handles the scheduling part automatically.
