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.
