"Leitner's System" is a memory tool designed by Sebastion Leitner in 1972, using flash cards to memorise words or phrases. It is a simple implementation of the principle of spaced repetition, where cards are reviewed at increasing intervals. "Hand Computer" app is designed to simulate the Leitner system and is a simple, convenient and effective memory tool for any foreign language student or simply a tool to help you study and remember any subject. When you find a word or phrase or equation you don't know, add it to a card after you have memorised it, then add the card to the first compartment. Review the cards in the first compartment a few times each day when you have time. If you still remember it, move the card to the next compartment. If you have forgotten it, put it back. After a few days or when the second compartment is full, review the cards in that compartment. If you have forgotten anything, put it back to the first compartment. The capacity of each compartment is optimised to recall your memory efficiently and effectively. The frequency you review each word increases as it proceeds through the compartments for more effective learning. The last compartment can hold as many cards as you want, but it is best that you review them from time to time. *If you are interested in this app, try "Cards" app from us.* For more information, please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitner_system Launch URL scheme for this app comcatalystwohandcomputer Demo Video: http://vimeo.com/84745906 • Graphically visible stored cards to motivate you. • Non-proprietary file format...

Some suggestions
That’s really user friendly app. It would be better to add a stack compartment to add as many as flash card to it and then start to learn. Also it’s better to let the user decides the size of first compartment. I hope to see some updates on this great app. Thank’s alot
Bugs
Hello I use this app for a long time But unfortunately it has loads of bugs Every time there is a new bug Why should such a good app has these bugs?
The best Leitner Box simulating app
The app exactly simulates the Leitner memorizing system without any unnecessary change in Sebastian Leitner’s memorizing concept.
Awful and faulty
When I installed the app, at first it was great! But afterwards, when I created 8 deck with more than 1000 cards in some of decks, SUDDENLY MY WORDS DISAPPEARED! that was unbelievable!Not just for 1 time! It happened again now! And another worse thing is irresponsible and unhelpful support team! Because I sent an email for them and reported the problem, but I have never received even an answer!
9 out of 10. Great app.
Great app. Their version of the Leitner system of flashcards is very effective and really helps me learn fast. It needs a cosmetic upgrade to really make it perfect, but it’s definitely worth the money for helping me study better and more productively. Thank you very much to the creators of this app for their hard work. Keep it up.

Does not export “send to friend” the folder containing the image. Excellent leitner When “move all to compartment 5” clicked, app is crashed.if you restart your phone it will be solved. If “move all to compartment 1” was there too, it would be very good.
Great
It's very useful but i don't know why my last card was crashed maybe i used the free version before. It's worth to purchase it. For pop up problem if you restart your phone it will be solved. However i wish it would be updated to get better.
