How does the algorithm work?

The app uses a certain algorithm based on spaced repetition that supports the learning process. It’s a bit different than usual ones and the intervals go like this:

Before the longer offsets, there are more repetitions than standard spaced repetition software are using. Thanks to that you will learn the vocabulary more properly, from both sides and with listening tests.

With the Premium, there’s an unlimited amount of cards that you can save or create per day, and there are, of course, no ads disturbing you from learning. You can filter cards and choose what you want to learn.
