One thing that's unclear in the app description: does the free app come with 3000 words? And then is the $15 purchase is for an additional 3000? That would be amazing!

Are all the words nouns? Or are there verbs/adjectives/adverbs, too?

Is there a way to create a set of flashcards via a file upload? That'd be a wonderful feature!

Good questions! The free app (there's only one freemium app, actually), has all 3000 words built-in. We charge based on how many you swipe into your deck (i.e. you decide to actively learn). The app comes with a free deck size of 50, then you can increase that incrementally with in-app purchases.

There is a healthy mix of nouns, verbs, adjective, and adverbs.

There isn't currently anyway to add your own content outside of creating individual cards within the app. It's something that I'd like to get to (if people find the SRS system useful, I'd like people to do whatever they want with it).

I was genuinely confused about this too, and am still not 100% sure I get it after your comment. So the deck size means it's 50 concurrent cards, but I can add/remove card sets to my deck as much as I'd like using the free version?

If I remove cards from my deck to make room, does this mean any training on how well I've told it I know those words is lost?
