About 3 years ago we launched the initial version of Feyn with this reddit post. We’ve been quietly collecting feedback and adding more features to it ever since. Today we believe we reached the point in which we have a top quality app, and wanted to share it with you.
Feyn was built as a response to there not being a well designed and easy to use iPad flashcards app. We wanted to open a book, place an iPad next to it, and just start making flashcards as easily as if we were just using pen and paper. We ended up building it, and continued to add features to it until it reached the point where we now believe it's the best iOS flashcards app for both iPad and iPhone.
The idea behind the app is quite simple, choose which concepts you want to remember during your study sessions, write flashcards for them using Feyn, and then just wait for Feyn to ask you to review them whenever it deems it optimal.
You can think of it as off-boarding the process of memorization to an app. Just make the cards and you’ll eventually memorize them.
We made quite a few interesting design decisions along the way (vertical card aspect ratio, emphasis on drawing, minimalistic UI), which we think make it stand out quite a bit when compared to other flashcard apps.
It was originally designed for the iPad + Apple Pencil, but it has now become a great iPhone experience as well.
