Frequently Asked Questions

How does spaced repetition work? +

Spaced repetition is a scientifically-proven learning technique. LingoDeck uses the SM-2 algorithm to show you flashcards at optimal intervals. Cards you know well appear less frequently, while cards you struggle with appear more often. This maximizes retention while minimizing study time.

Can I use LingoDeck offline? +

Yes! LingoDeck is designed to work 100% offline. All flashcards, study progress, and features work without an internet connection. You can study anywhere, anytime.

What's included in the free version? +

The free version includes the complete Spanish language pack with 500+ flashcards, full spaced repetition functionality, progress tracking, and offline access. Premium unlocks all 10 languages with 5,000+ flashcards, custom deck creation, and additional features.

How do I restore my purchases on a new device? +

Can I create my own flashcards? +

Yes! Premium subscribers can create custom flashcard decks. You can add cards manually or import from CSV files. Custom decks fully integrate with the spaced repetition system.

How does iCloud sync work? +

When iCloud sync is enabled, your study progress, custom decks, and settings automatically sync across all your Apple devices. This uses your personal iCloud storage and is encrypted for security. Enable it in Settings > Data & Sync > iCloud Sync.

How do I use LingoDeck on Apple Watch? +

Premium subscribers get access to the Apple Watch app. It syncs automatically with your iPhone. On your watch, you can do quick review sessions, check cards due, and track your streak. Perfect for studying on the go!

What do the rating buttons (Again, Hard, Good, Easy) mean? +

After revealing a card's answer, rate how well you knew it:

  • Again: You didn't know it - card will appear again soon
  • Hard: You knew it with difficulty - shorter interval
  • Good: You knew it well - normal interval
  • Easy: You knew it instantly - longer interval

Be honest! Accurate ratings help the algorithm optimize your learning.

Can I reset my progress? +

Yes. Go to Settings > Manage Data > Reset Study Progress. This will reset all spaced repetition data but keep your custom decks. This action cannot be undone.
