It is written that the supermemo application for iphone is going to be available for free next weeks. Let’s hope it will be there asap.

Have you checked http://www.supermemo.net? A SuperMemo website service where you can learn, create your own courses and publish them for free. Lots of ready courses too.

Also, it seems that a (free) SuperMemo application for iPhone is finally there… http://www.supermemo.eu/supermemo_for_iphone

You should try Anki. It’s a great SRS with the ability to go online. http://www.ichi2.net/anki/index.html

Thanks for the information – I’ve just registered at FlashcardDB (as has Andrew—the previous commenter) and am impressed.

First impressions are definitely favourable.

Again, thanks very much for pointing this out. Greatly appreciated.

Hi Lloyd

FlashcardDB offers the Supermemo algorithm in ajax-y wep app form. (The Leitner System too). Soon, you will see e-mail and twitter notifications for when repetitions are due. I’m also working on adding more detailed stats and an iPhone interface. No limits on notes/cards.

Or less… articles like this really could do without the personal profiling. As for applications that employ this technique: there are a few I've noticed, but none I've tried. BetterMemo looks good, although the free version is very limited (only 30 notes allowed). Furthermore, it's not a web app (what is this, the 90s?). The ridiculously named Spicy Elephant is a web app, but doesn't look that impressive. Finally, the open source Mnemosyne (also not a web app) looks nice enough and is OS-neutral. Not a great selection, unfortunately. So far I haven't come across anything for the iPhone, although I'm sure something is in the pipeline given how many Google results there are for "iPhone SuperMemo".

This looks really interesting, although I thought the article could have been half the length.
Have you come across a web app that does this? I’m sure a clean ajax interface could be designed for this relatively easily. Or an iPhone app to do your daily dose of revision.
