USER WRITE::
"After trying a few different flashcard apps, i have found iMemento to be one of the best." - Timu119

HOW TO CREATE OWN FLASHCARDS:
Use a simple text editor that comes with your operating system to create own sets of flashcards.
HOW TO TRANSFER FILES:
To transfer files to your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad it needs to be connected to your local network via WLAN. Your Mac or PC has to be connected to the same local network.
Now you can use the standard web browser that comes with your Mac or PC.
With the browser you can access the flashcard files on your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad or upload flashcard files to your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.
FILE FORMATS:
iMemento is able to read simple text files in which the question and answer is on its own line and flashcards are separated by an empty line.
Furthermore iMemento can read csv- and tsv-files which can be exported from many other programs (e.g. OpenOffice or Excel), so that you can migrate easily if you already use flashcards in another (desktop) flashcard program.
DESKTOP APPLICATIONS: To setup the connection between the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad and your Mac (or PC) you need a web browser. To create flashcards a simple text editor is required.
Both applications are typically already installed with your operating system. On Mac you can use the standard browser Safari and the text editor Textedit. On Windows (XP) use the Internet Explorer as browser and Notepad as text editor.

Latest reviews of iMemento Flashcards app for iPhone and iPad
This is a great text only flashcard app. Straightforward, no nonsense and easy to use. Great FAQ section as well.
didnt like this app. no landscape mode and a little too basic for the price youre paying. would be nice to have more features in the future.
I tried to export from iflash (mac) into a textfile to transfer onto imemento. there is a character limit, around 70 characters including spaces, so your text must be less than one line, or you cannot transfer to iphone/ipod. Beware of the separators: ( , ) or ( ; ) or ( : ), keep getting an error on transfer, have to "debug" my own flash cards, not very fun, spent an hour, Ive given up. Good if you need basic short definition, short answer question flash cards, sync is a breeze. Works via bonjour on mac. Would like landscape view. My advice, make the flash cards on a text editor, and make sure to keep character count to less than 70.
There is no longer a 70 character limit. You can use decimal points/periods, commas, semi-colons, etc. without error. Very good program. User friendly. Love it!
What I like about this app... -Easy uploading to the iPhone using Safari on my Wifi network (no software required, and no uploading MY INFO to some website I never heard of) -Nice set of options for your flash cards (Shuffle, display cards 1x 2x etc.) -Can change each set of Flashcards backgrounds (kinda lets you know sub-conciously youre not studying the same set of cards) -I like using it wherever I go, and I no longer have to carry all my notes, or books with me -Its also very fast/responsive, whether youre uploading, adjusting, or viewing your flashcards Some suggestions I have... -Is it possible to make another version of "iMemento" that will help create flash-cards using graphics? (for charts, photos, diagrams, etc.) -Also, maybe add a feature to the existing iMemento app that allows you to use choose backgrounds from the iPhones camera roll Thanx for a simple & straight-forward app!
