L.A. Flash Cards for Windows

User Reviews

• Program itself is fine, but don't get it from this site

  ParrotsAreTalkativeJanuary 5, 2014

  Pros

  Simple interface Has everything I needed plus nothing else: - write on the front of the card - write answer on the back of the card - color code text, background, or change font - review in set order or random order Just a very plain setup that will let me review for as long as I want during any given period. I've tried other programs like Anki which were too confusing to read, limited the amount of words I could study per session, and even raising all the limit values still wouldn't give me the freedom to review as much as I wanted before cutting me off and telling me I was done. No thanks, this program seems old but all I need are the bare basics, so it suits me well.

  Cons

  The program itself seems harmless but I have to salute CNET for bundling it with various other malware & adware programs that no one wants and is not blatantly stated you will be getting. At first I thought it was the flashcard program to blame so I got on an older PC I could afford to have ruined, downloaded a different program, and sure enough got the same spyware installed onto it as well, so LA Flash Cards is apparently not at fault. If you download through CNET expect to get treated with some trash called Mobogenie, another program that bugs you to backup your PC, and an obtrusive add-on to Firefox highlighting random words on a site & offering to search them for me. It took an hour to remove all this filth from my newly built virgin PC that is only 2 weeks old, so thank you CNET for contaminating it so early into its life. Now for the next 8 years whenever something is slow I'll have to wonder if somehow a few bytes of your spyware still lingers on it and is causing the problem.

  Summary

  Get this program, it seems to do the trick, but for the love of God get it from another source. CNET is apparently no longer a trusted name in the world of safe software. I've been with them since 1997 and never expected them to poison my downloads like this. It didn't used to be like this. It used to be you came to download.com specifically to find files that you knew were free from malware. Not anymore. Consider this the end of our relationship, CNET. 0.5 star not for the product itself but for the whole contaminate package it comes with through this service.

• Very good Flash Card program

  Nick3636December 6, 2010

  Pros

  This program can show text and pictures. And it can play sounds too. Which is more than most programs in this category can do. And it's very simple to use too.

  Cons

  This program doesn't have any way of controlling the speed of its automatic presentation of flash cards.

  Summary

  The automatic presentation of flash cards is too fast in this program. And there is no way to slow it down. Which means that you can only use this program manually. You have to press the 'next' button every time you want to see the next flash card.

• Very good software. Thanks!

  palominosamudio1May 21, 2010

  Pros

  1. Is easy to build flash cards at time. 2. Allow copy- paste images without to have import as file! 3. Allow record directly from micropone. 4. Allow learn with the beautiful Leitner system. 5. And much more!

  Cons

  I only suggest a minor improvements. Please see below.

  Summary

  I only suggest a minor improvements: 1. I would like if Leitner mode can be maintained without configure it each time that I use the program. 2. Allow set default folder for save de sets of flash cards. 3. Save the status file of each card on the same directory of cards. 4. Change the checkbox "Don't ask again" for a button. 5. The possibility of set keys on keyboard for Leitner functions. 6. Possibility of add chapters names to each flash card. 7. Spanish version. I tryed much more flash card software but this is the best for me. Excellent program Rex. Thank you for make it free!
