The FlashQ/Ard! iPhone app is a very simple and intuitive flash card application that works with Apple's iPhone, iTouch and iPad. With FlashQ/Ard! you can study your own flash cards or the cards shared by others.

With the FlashQ/Ard! iPhone app and this web portal you create your own flash cards to use on your iPhone or iTouch. Create, study, excel, it's that simple! To start, create a text file formatted to our guidelines (more later) and upload it to our server. Once it is on the server, it is available to download and study from within the FlashQ/Ard! application. The best part is that you are not just limited to the material and cards (or QArds and Q/Ard! Sets as we call them) that you create yourself, you can share your flash cards and study other's QArds as well.

So how does this work? How do you create the text file and format it for FlashQ/Ards! use? Again, it's very simple.
• First, download the FlashQ/Ard! application on to your iPhone (from iTunes on your computer or the App Store application on the iPhone or iTouch itself).
• Next, using any text editor (NotePad for Windows or TextEdit for Macintosh) create a text file with all of your questions and answers. Follow the guidelines below to format the text file. To really make things work, you'll also want to add a category to each question. And finally, if you want to share your QArds with others, add a reference to document your work. Each question should contain a category, the question, an answer and an optional reference. Category, Question, Answer, Reference. After you have written all of the questions and answers, use the pipe character (it's the straight up and down line, or |, it is shared with the backslash, or \, key) to seperate the category, question, answer and reference. Format the text so that it reads as follows;

Once finished with the questions (you can always add, delete and edit them later) save the file as a .txt file. Next, create a free account on this website and upload the txt file on to our server using the form provided for Q/Ard! submissions. That's it! Open your copy of FlashQ/Ard! on your iPhone, navigate to the Manage Q/Ard! Sets area and click on Search. Find your Q/Ard! Set using the name you provided and select it to download on to your iPhone. Click load and then study and you're off!

Here is an example of a 3 card set;

Within your account, you can edit the Title, Description, and text of all your material. You can decide to share it or keep it all for yourself. If you really want to get into it, you can develop your own Q/Ard! Sets and, through our Premium Partner Program, sell them to others.
