Tinycards is a flashcard app that lets you learn anything. It is an extension of Duolingo’s service. It lets you follow Duolingo (to learn German, French, Spanish or Portugese), as well as TinyGeo (for geography facts), TinyHistory (for history facts), TinyScience (for science facts) and Chineasy (for Chinese).
Using Tinycards
Once you register and log in, you are taken to your DISCOVER page, which shows your favorite decks, people that you follow, and trending decks. If you want to make a new deck, you can click on Create.
To create a new deck, you need to upload a cover image, and then add cards to the deck. The settings let you select whether both the front and back sides of the card contain content to be learned. You can also set the visibility of the deck to Everyone, or Only Me.
On the front side of the card, you can place an image or text. If you choose to use an image, you can search for images right in the app, and crop the selected image.
For the back side of the card, you can have 1-3 sections (select ADD FACT), and each section can contain either text or an image.
Platforms
Tinycards words through the web, and there is an iOS app. There is no Android app yet.
