A Study Tool & Memory Aid in Your Pocket
- Organize with Decks
- Decks are completely flexible. Create decks according to your own needs — study lessons, commonly-used terms, new vocab, old vocab, stuff you just have a hard time remembering, etc.
- Study with Flashcards
- With one touch, turn Decks into Flashcards. HippoDict keeps statistics on each Deck so you know which entries need more review.
- Memorize with the Learning Deck
- Put all of your entries into the Learning Deck and let HippoDict manage your studying. It employs a SuperMemo-based learning algorithm to adaptively adjust how often you see each entry so you don't waste time on vocabulary you already know.
