Hi Ernie,

Do you have any plans for a port of FD to Android ?
Right now, your app is pretty much the only thing stopping me from moving to Android from iOS - there doesn't seem to be anything quite as good as FD in the Android Marketplace.

Hi, Read your reply to an earlier post on this so no need to reply.
I do hope there will be an eventual port though as Android isn't an insignificant market of course.

FWIW: the real edge FD has in the flashcards market place is the spaced repetition implementation.

I do know that at least one Andriod flashcard app uses a supermemo algorithm for their spaced repetition, which is fairly advanced. I chose not to go that route with my app because I thought it was unnessarily complicated, and instead did something similar but a bit easier to understand and customize. Anyway, i have no idea how their apps look/feel, but I think a decent spaced rep process should exist. Good luck.

It's ok, I'm sticking with iOS for the moment - by the time I move to Android I'm pretty sure you will have too. ;-)

Thanks again for the app, it's perfect for my needs.
