    SARTIN77  I used this program for my 3rd grade son's vocab work. Also copied the "Teach Your Baby to Read" method of Glen Doman with my 3 and 4 year olds and I'm seeing great results there as well. I'm not much of a computer person so to speak, but I was able to make simple cards just the way I wanted them.

    I didn't see a way to black out the background in the program. I would have appreciated that feature so that my sons aren't distracted by the other things on my desktop, but I just worked around that with "Think".  (Version 2.5)

    DHARBIGT  Despite the claims made on the website about foreign language support, the support for this product is lousy. Worldtext is obsolete and anyone using updated versions of OS X will have lots of problems with foreign language text if it's in a non-Latin alphabet. This is because the author (despite promises to the contrary) is not interested in adding Unicode support to this product.

    I bought the full version hoping to support the author so that he would continue to work on this project, but there hasn't been an update for quite some time, and even then, the support seems to be primarily for PalmOS, which is of no use to me.

    - Cutting and pasting from Safari or TextEdit or other applications doesn't work

    - Centering and other formatting doesn't work properly

    - Import for Unicode files is not available

    - Unicode export doesn't include the entire card text and is broken

    - Cards shared with a friend (who also bought the full version) come up garbled and useless

    I've specifically had problems with Chinese, Hebrew and Russian. The Hebrew I can understand, but as far as the other products, the author has been apathetic and/or unresponsive.

    If you're learning a romance language or German or something other than foreign language, this product has an excellent featureset and works well with only occasional (but frustrating) crashes. I'd recommend this software highly if it lived up to its advertisement as an excellent foreign language teaching aid. The fact is, that it is a frustrating foreign language teaching aid for foreign scripts.  (Version 2.4.1)

    KEITH  I have only used the Lite version, but will purchase the regular today. This program is very professionally done, both the well written manual and the applicaiton. I was looking for a native Mac app which was simple and had spaced learning. This program is great and highly recommended.  (Version 2.4)

    CHRISTIAN SCHMITT  Hello, I am a medicine student. I use to work with Studycard Studio Pro 2.4 for at least 2 hours daily since September 2004. It runs very stable and I haven't found any bugs yet. With Studycard I managed to get through all exams and tests in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Anatomy and Psychology. I will go on working with Studycard. It's really a great program.  (Version 2.4)
