Instructions

1. Create a new Content Pack. Content Packs are essentially categories that you can add new cards to. If you were studying Spanish, you could add packs for Verbs, Nouns, Sentences, etc.
   • tap on the "Content Packs" tab
   • tap the plus button in the upper right corner to add a new Content Pack
   • fill out the form and press save
2. Add cards to the Content Pack
   • tap on the newly created Content Pack
   • tap the icon in the lower right corner to add a new card
   • fill out the form and tap save
3. Create a new Deck for study. Decks contain cards that you are currently studying. To return to the Spanish example, you would want to entitle the Deck "Spanish Study" or something similar.
   • return to the Content Pack browser and tap the "Decks" tab button
   • tap the plus button to add a new Deck
   • fill out the form
   • tap the blue plus button to associate the Content Pack you created earlier to this deck. This will allow you to automatically draw new cards from the associated Content Packs.
   • tap save
4. Study!
   • tap on your newly created deck
   • tap the "Auto-Add Cards" button
   • tap the "Begin Studying" button
   • when viewing flashcards, you can tap the screen to flip the card
   • when viewing the back side of the card, tap the X button if you were not able to remember the content on the back or tap the checkmark button to mark the card as learned
   • cards marked as learned will appear after the review interval determined by the SRS algorithm
   • failed cards will be repeatedly shown until they are marked as learned
