ASPARTAMEMSGSUCK  Great application! Make it work (sync) with an iPhone application and it would be perfect!

RPSX  just a quick review, as i am in the heat of cramming for the basic standard japanese test. given that, i thought i would try some other flashcard apps. i have to say, genius is the best. doesn't have some of the fancy features - but for me, the interval recall algorithm at work in genius is perfect. i learn more and learn faster. other apps i tried seemed to have too many options, approaches or features. genius is spot on. as i mentioned before, if ONLY, specifically for learning japanese kanji (or chinese characters i suppose), there was a way to increase the font size. that said, you cannot learn kanji with genius - its just too small to see all the strokes for most characters. please! i beg you! and, maybe an iphone version! :-)

RPSX  i agree - if the font size could be a choice, this would be perfect. i tried provoc recently - but, i think genius integrates "interval recall" in a better way - i am switching back already, as i seemed to retain faster with genius. but, for japanese, yes way too small... please!

FLASHYWORDZ  Great application!

One small problem: I use Genius mainly for studying Japanese, and sometimes the Kanji (those complicated characters, also used in chinese) are too small to read when I'm quizzing! Is there a way to increase the font size / change the default Japanese font for quizzes?

LAUGHINGUNDERASAKURATREE  I'm a freshman in high school. So I have a lot of studying to do. I was looking for a program that would help me study, especially for French. I downloaded this program, and immediately began using it for my French vocab.

I was amazed. I learned more within the first ten minutes of using the study feature, then I would have in two class periods. It was especially helpful because I am a very visual learner.

However I found that a feature that would allow me to fill in all the "Group" and "Note" area would have been useful.I also realized that the program isn't meant for audio, which is very important in language learning. However the great features of the program outweigh the bad. It took me n time at all to figure out how to use the features.

I can't wait to use Genius next year when I'm in Honors Chemistry! Thanks so much for making a great program, it's worth giving a donation! Can't wait to see how they will improve the program...

ZANGIEF  You might want to update the poll to include Leopard, as I cannot vote.

BAHA  Everything is cool, except the program doesn't wrap long lines in the study/learn mode. The worst of it, it doesn't even have scroll bars: neither horizontal, nor vertical.

EDDIE22487  Fantastic product. I use it all the time. My only suggestion would be is that you could allow the ability to type in different fonts into the question/answer sections. I'm studying Greek, and I know anyone who has downloaded fonts for a language they are studying, would much rather be able to type them in, than sit for 3 hours clicking through the symbol window.

This is a fantastic product though, if you can, I would definitely drop this guy a few bucks.
