“constant changing advertising banners above what I'm trying to study.”

"Flash Cards Free! allows you to create and study your own flash cards quickly and easily. It also integrates with Quizlet.com, giving you access to thousands of flash cards in seconds. Then, you can use the learn mode to familiarize yourself with them. 

In addition, the test mode saves the cards in different stacks, following the Leitner System. If you take the test again, FC Free will show you the cards you have the most trouble with first.

This application is free and ad supported.

Features
-Create and edit your own card sets and cards
