Show HN: Spaced Repetition System for iOS

Great work, I've been searching for something like this for a while, and never really liked the UX for Anki. I love the UX, very clean and easy to use. Tutorial / intro was the perfect length, gave me a quick run down on how to use it without taking too much time.

I almost skipped over this because I didn't know what "spaced repetition system" was. My only suggestion is to market it around what benefit the user will get out of it, and not SRS / or the algorithm behind it.

Yeah, yours is the second comment along these lines and I think you're right.

My thinking was that I wanted to differentiate it from the very gamey branding of apps like Memrise and Duolingo. "Spaced repetition system" sounds more serious, more academic - and I do want people to get the impression that CleverDeck takes the spaced repetition implementation as seriously as Anki. I think I can probably still do that while being more clear - thanks for the feedback.

FWIW, I was drawn in by the term Spaced Repetition because I like Anki in theory but hate the UI

As a very heavy Anki user, I would love to know what you don't like about the UI. I use Anki mostly as Ankidroid on a Note 3, but I add all my material on the Desktop (CentOS).

The problem in recent years was the project leadership. I'm not sure if that has improved more recently.
