These are the two big changes in this release:
1. MathJax support has been added to Markdown- and HTML-based cards! Simply write your math equation between two dollar signs ($) and it'll be rendered using math notation. To enable this, you will need to explicitly go into the UI Settings during a review session and set the checkmark on.
2. The sync engine has been significantly rewritten to be more reliable and efficient. I know a lot of users have been experiencing sync issues, so I re-designed it to handle failure scenarios better. Plus, you'll now be able to see UI indicating if files are uploading or downloading. This should help you keep track of devices that are still in the process of transferring files. If you tap the upload/download status, you'll be presented a summary screen where you can investigate which decks are still transferring files, and which specific files are being transferred.
Marker button appearance:
- Cards that do not have any content on the back will show the marker buttons right away now. You won't need to flip to see them.
- You can also now turn marker buttons on all the time in the UI Settings.
Misc:
- Lesson progress is now saved more frequently during reviews instead of only when you stop reviewing.
- Tweaked progress bar behavior during reviews.
- All UI settings show up now when you tap the "..." button. You no longer need to take two taps to see it.
- App will now do some temporary folder cleanup on launch to reduce disk usage.

This update contains a lot of quality of life improvements.

- Lesson summary card order has been updated to match reviewe order and now highlight the most recent batch that you reviewed.
- You can now more easily add tags using existing tags used in a deck. Try editing tags now. On iOS, you'll see a button to pick known tags. On macOS, you'll see a dropdown menu to pick from a list of known tags.
- A sync bug was found that could cause sync to stop working. It's fixed in this release.
- You can now long-press on a card in the card list to add a tag or start a lesson/slideshow.

PapaMurphysLaw,
Simple and well worth it
If you feel that an app like Anki is too complicated or wastes time with its complexity but you don’t want to pay a subscription then this is the app for you. It is by far the best non-subscription flashcard app I’ve found.
I purchased the full version of the app ($15 USD) a couple months ago.
The only two cons I can think of are that it has a couple less features than some other flashcard apps and that its layout is not the most intuitive with different locations for where deck vs card settings are stored.
However, it has many amazing features that make it 100% worthwhile even if it is behind on a few minor features. It has an uncluttered layout, appealing aesthetics, a unique and useful combination of tags plus “what you see is what you review”, and different modes for reviewing cards and marking them as complete. Some of the missing features are on the roadmap and likely to come soon.
The developer has great response time to my questions or feedback and has been friendly in his responses. All of which are bonus points to an already great app.

An excellent app crippled by a single major design flaw
The good: Excellent overall in terms of design, intuitive use and speed of creating new cards. A model for other apps.
The bad: To me it has a fatal flaw. Say you create a deck of 50 Italian verbs. You then want to review 30 cards. Well, Fresh Cards doesn’t allow you to review all thirty. If first selects 4? 5? cards for you, then displays them again and again. At first I assumed I had the wrong settings, or, making sure those were correct, maybe the program had a significant bug. No—it’s actually designed this way.
The problem here is the assumption that memory works with this kind of repeated, quick succession exposure. Can’t remember one card? With Fresh Cards you’ll see it again in 10 seconds. And then 10 seconds after that. Meanwhile, you’re not getting access to the other cards you’ve taken the time to create and want to review.
There is, to me, an obvious inefficiency here. Plus, it creates frustration, which is to be avoided if possible in a learning environment. However, the philosophy of Fresh Cards seems to be ‘just power through it’. This is not good educational psychology. The whole point of doing flashcards presupposes that you’re going to be continually frustrated a tiny bit by all the things you don’t remember. But the solution to this is not to amplify the frustration by restricting your access to other cards by continually forcing you to see cards you’ve already seen multiple time before. This should not be a video game where you have to slay a monster to get through the door.
Memory doesn’t function in exact parallel with the algorithm that Fresh Cards uses.
If you want to create a deck of 100 cards, Fresh Cards won’t allow you to review them unless you first endure its again and again and again and again repeat of 4 or 5 cards. Please know this before you buy.
I don’t think the developer yet appreciates what a bottleneck this will be for many. -Including myself. I’m retiring Fresh Cards in search of a better system.
The bad: To me it has a fatal flaw. Say you create a deck of 50 Italian verbs. You then want to review 30 cards. Well, Fresh Cards doesn’t allow you to review all thirty. If first selects 4? 5? cards for you, then displays them again and again. At first I assumed I had the wrong settings, or, making sure those were correct, maybe the program had a significant bug. No—it’s actually designed this way.
The problem here is the assumption that memory works with this kind of repeated, quick succession exposure. Can’t remember one card? With Fresh Cards you’ll see it again in 10 seconds. And then 10 seconds after that. Meanwhile, you’re not getting access to the other cards you’ve taken the time to create and want to review.

yummish,
The app decides when I can review, not me
This is ridiculous. The app won't let me review the cards that I have already reviewed.
