What’s It About?
Go to the StudyDroid website and register a user account and password before using the app. Then search for the pack of flashcards you want to study by keyword, or create your own flashcard pack. Tap on the "+" to add a new pack on your mobile device or sync packs from the website. Give the pack a name, add new cards, or view the cards you have as a list. When studying, tap "Known" for a card you've learned. Syncing is easy: just enter your username and password on your mobile device. StudyDroid Flashcards 2.0 provides fair flashcard practice.
Is It Any Good?
StudyDroid Flashcards 2.0 is an OK companion app to the StudyDroid website, but it's not as easy to use as some other flashcard-based apps -- or even as easy to use as its own website. The website-app connection is almost essential, which teens may not understand at first when downloading or paying for the app. New users likely will need to dig into the tutorials and FAQ on the website to get a good grasp of the app. Note: StudyDroid mentions in its terms of use that it doesn't guarantee that any of the material on these user-generated flashcards is "accurate, complete, or current," so be sure to double-check the accuracy of the information on the flashcards your kids use. StudyDroid's developer mentions in one of its website tutorial videos that a new user interface is in the works. Hopefully this will make the app a much greater asset to its companion website than it is at the time of this review.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
