Our verdict on Sticky
Sticky is an iOS flashcard app for students, language learners, test preparation and professional development. It is aimed at people who want to turn existing study material into cards instead of authoring every prompt and answer manually. Card creation can start from images, photographs, pasted notes or text, and voice. Once a deck is ready, spaced-repetition scheduling guides review; quiz mode and progress streaks add other ways to work through material.
The standout fit is its capture-to-card workflow. Generating cards from photos or voice may suit learners working from textbook pages, slides or spoken notes, while pasted text offers a direct route from written material. Audio playback supports listening to cards, and LaTeX and mathematical notation rendering make the app relevant to material that includes equations. These tools give Sticky broader study-material coverage than a text-only card workflow, though the product remains focused on individual study rather than educator tools.
Sticky is freemium, with a free plan and Sticky Pro Monthly and Sticky Pro Annual plans. The listed starting price is 8.98; pricing shown is Singapore App Store pricing and may vary by country. The app is for iOS and mobile deployment, so learners who need Android or desktop access should choose another option. Community is the listed support channel. Pick Sticky if you study on an iPhone and value creating cards from photos or voice; look elsewhere if cross-platform access or educator tools are central to your needs.
