First of all, go to the above page, or search CleverDeck on the App Store and tap "Get".


Tap "Install" ......


Tap "Open".


When launching the application, the following screen will appear, so first press the "+" icon in the upper right.

As a trivia, "Country's Name" "Important Paintings" "Greek and Latino Origins" "Greek Myths" "Age in Historical Events" "Human Body Structure" "Case" "American States" "World The capital of Japan "," national flag "" pose of yoga "and so on.


For example, "developed English" is a card that collects frequent words in American university admissibility test "SAT" and "GRE" which measures basic academic ability. To use this card, tap "Add Deck".


Then the card is added to the deck of the home screen as follows. By the way, by default the number of words to remember on a day is 10, but as you use it every day, the number of words you learn will increase gradually.


You can register several cards on the deck with the following feeling. So to actually try using the card, tap "Development English".


The problem is like this. Images are displayed according to the word "disseminate" (spreading / spreading).


Swipe the card to the left when saying "I do not understand at all".


Then, this word is recorded in the application as "I do not remember", and will be asked again after 30 minutes.


Subsequently appeared was the word "gainsay" (denying).


Swipe to the right when you know this word well.


Then, it means that it will be confirmed once again after 3 days, not after 30 minutes, because it means "a word that you can remember firmly."


Swipe the card upwards when it says "Somehow remembered the meaning."


In this case, you will be able to ask the meaning again with the next day card.


When you want to know the meaning of a word tap the card, what is the meaning of the word and in what context? An example sentence is displayed.


When you say "I remember words perfectly so that I do not have to check it again," it is OK in the trash can.


When all words are checked, a 30-minute timer will be displayed.


Looking at the deck, the evolving English card was gray. I can not check the card until time comes.


Then in 30 minutes you will be able to check the wrong card once again.


At this time, if I could recall the meaning properly ...


Next word is to check the next day being questions, what is wrong again, a mechanism that also will appear on the exam in the 30 minutes after.


In this way, by repeating the meaning of words repeatedly after 30 minutes, 1 day, and 3 days, according to the level of "I remember firmly," "I remember somehow," "I do not remember at all" , It is a structure that ensures knowledge is established in the head.

What kind of display is displayed on other cards? As I checked it, for example in the case of Japanese, the word "please" was asked in English, so it was supposed to answer its meaning.


When I tapped the screen, in what context would you use it along with the meaning of the word? An example sentence was also displayed.


You can also add cards yourself. On the "Add Deck" screen, tap "Create Custom Deck".


Enter the name of the card deck you want to add and tap "Import Cards".
