Excellent for improving active recall and tracking your strengths and weaknesses, it essentially RAG rates everything for you which is brilliant for organising revision without taking up too much of your time.

One time I had an art test in 30 minutes. I had the lunch period to study. Brainscape got me a 100% on that test. I recommend.
By Leviticus
The flashcards are so organized and have space to be made either simply or with more detailed. I love that I don't have to think twice about which flashcards I need to work on more because that's Brainscape's foundation. I also just became an Authorized Creator so that I get paid for the work I'm already doing from making my own flashcards. Love Brainscape!

Very helpful flashcards. They were instrumental in passing a course.

I've been finding the app very slow lately. I have a folder where I keep my error log, and it's already loading with difficulty. Is there a maximum number of cards that can be loaded?

Response from Brainscape - Smarter Flashcards· May 7, 2026
Hi Izabella, Sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing slow performance—that’s definitely not the experience we want for you. There isn’t a strict limit on the number of cards you can load, and large classes shouldn’t normally cause significant slowdowns. That said, performance can sometimes vary depending on device or app version. Could you please make sure you’re using the latest version of the app? If the issue continues, feel free to email us at [email protected] with your app version, device details, the class you're trying to access, and the error logs you mentioned—we’ll be happy to look into this for you. Thanks for flagging this, and we’ll keep an eye out for your message! Chuckee@Brainscape
