Here’s a list of 5 flashcard apps for Android which you can use to create flashcards and quizzes for studying and just testing your knowledge in general. When studying for an exam, doesn’t matter if it’s written or oral, reading about a particular subject will only get you so far. What you need to do after reading up on something is put what you just read to a test. Flashcards are a great way how to do that, but setting them up on pieces of paper can be exhausting, enter Android.
AnkiDroid Flashcards
AnkiDroid Flashcards are great for two reasons. First this flashcard app lets you create your own flashcard sets with an unlimited number of flashcards and detailed stats on how good you are at solving them.
Secondly there’s an online database of around 6000 shared flashcard sets from anatomy, biology, birds, chemistry, geography, law, math, music, pathology, physics and more. Chances are good that there’s already a flashcard set that you need already posted on the AnkiDroid website for you to download for free. What’s more they are even multilingual, with more than 10 different languages being supported. Lots of other cool features are available.

Quizlet
Quizlet works just like AnkiDroid Flashcards, and it might even be better. It focuses more on sharing and community. It even requires that you sign in with your Google account to use the app.
Flashcards for all the more popular topics are probably available you just need to search through the Quizlet social network. If a flashcard set that you need can’t be found, you’ll be able to easily create one and then share it with others who use Quizlet. Here you need to type in the answers and the app will tell you if the answer is correct or not.
