Repetitions review
A free, cross-platform flashcard app for learners who want imports, sync, and review statistics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Repetitions is a spaced-repetition flashcard application for learners studying languages, preparing for exams, or memorizing other material across desktop, mobile, and web. Cards are graded and scheduled for later review using a variant of the SuperMemo SM-2 algorithm. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web, making it a fit for solo learners who want their cards available across devices rather than tied to one platform.
Moving an existing collection is a central strength: Repetitions imports Mnemosyne and Anki databases, as well as text files and pasted data. It can export databases to Repetitions, Mnemosyne, text, or copied data formats. Cards can include images, sounds, and mathematical formulas written with LaTeX or MathML. Cloud synchronization is available across devices, and the product also supports synchronization over a local network. These options suit learners who want control over how cards move between devices and formats.
The app presents review schedules, grade distributions, and card- and category-level statistics to help learners track their study patterns. The free plan is available; according to the vendor’s description, mobile apps are ad-supported, while paid mobile editions remove ads. The vendor does not publish prices for those editions or its online service. Repetitions is a practical choice for individuals transitioning from Anki or Mnemosyne or studying across platforms. Learners who need shared decks or educator tools should consider alternatives, since neither capability is listed.
