Good Good Study Card offers four study modes plus a global board, covering everything from “what’s due today” to “how am I doing overall”.
The four study modes
- Deck study: review the cards due today in one deck — the everyday mode
- Global due cards: tap the bell in the top bar to review today’s due cards across all decks
- Favorites: review favorited cards (including not-yet-due ones) — great for a pre-exam pass
- Single card: start studying any card straight from its detail view
The review flow and ratings
After flipping the card, four ratings decide when it returns:
| Rating | Meaning | Next interval (defaults) |
|---|---|---|
| Again | Couldn’t recall | relearn in 10 minutes |
| Hard | Recalled with effort | last interval × 1.2 |
| Good | Recalled normally | last interval × 2.5 |
| Easy | Instant recall | last interval × 3.0 |
A new card’s first rating produces fixed intervals: Hard 1 d, Good 1 d, Easy 3 d. Day counts truncate to whole days, and every parameter is customizable in Settings → Algorithm.
Gestures & hotkeys
- Swipe: in review, swipe left = Again, swipe right = Easy
- Shake to flip: enable in settings, then shake the phone to flip the card
- Keyboard shortcuts (with a hardware keyboard): Space = flip,
1–4= rate, Enter = Good,Esc= exit - Fullscreen: pinch to zoom card details (0.5–3×), double-tap to reset
The Board
The Board splits your whole library into three lanes: New / Learning / Mastered. Mastery can be set manually or maintained by the algorithm from your review performance — it’s the fastest way to see overall progress.
During a session, the ⋮ menu lets you edit, delete, or move the current card, mark it mastered, favorite it, reset it to new, or inspect its review history.
