Anki-Android

What it does

A semi-official Android port of Anki, the open-source spaced repetition system: make cards for what you want to remember and the app schedules them just before you would forget. Works standalone on the phone and can sync with desktop Anki, and existing shared decks can be imported. Android only - the iPhone version is a separate paid app. It schedules your revision; it does not write the cards for you.
