A guide to every feature — decks, studying, and everything around them.
Memorize More ships with a couple dozen ready-made decks — world capitals, U.S. presidents, Greek mythology, Shakespeare, and more. Three of them (World Capitals, Top 100 Books & Authors, and U.S. Presidents) are trial decks: every free account can browse and study them, but only the first 25 cards are unlocked — the rest need Premium. Every other built-in deck is fully locked until you upgrade. Locked decks still show up on your dashboard with a card count and a lock icon, so you can see what's there before deciding whether to unlock it.
Anyone, free or Premium, can create unlimited custom decks and add unlimited cards to them — there's no cap on custom content. Click + New Deck on your dashboard, name it, and you're dropped straight into the card editor. Each card has a front, a back, and an optional note that shows up under the answer (handy for a mnemonic, a source, or extra context).
Every deck — built-in or custom — has a "Reverse cards" toggle. Turn it on and the quiz flips which side is the question: instead of being asked the front and answering with the back, you're asked the back and answer with the front. Useful for language decks and anything else where you want to practice recall in both directions.
Want your most-used decks up top? Grab the small ⠿⠿⠿ handle at the top of any deck card and drag it to a new spot — built-in and custom decks can be mixed together in whatever order you like. It's saved automatically as soon as you let go, and stays that way on every device you sign in from.
Open any custom deck and use the "Add a card" form at the top: type the front, press Enter (or Tab) to jump to the back, type the back, and press Enter again to add it and jump straight back to a fresh "front" field — you can keep going without touching the mouse. Every card in the list below is editable in place: click into the front or back text and just start typing; the change saves automatically as soon as you click away. Each card also has a duplicate button (📋, handy for adding a near-identical card without retyping it) and a delete button (✕).
If you already have your material in Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers, or a CSV file, you don't have to type it in one card at a time. Open a custom deck, click 📥 Import from spreadsheet, and either upload a .csv file or paste rows directly into the box — select the cells in your spreadsheet, copy, and paste straight in.
The first column becomes the card's front, the second becomes the back, and an optional third column becomes its note. If your first row is a header — literally the word front (or question) in the first cell — it's detected and skipped automatically, so you can paste a whole sheet, headers and all, without cleaning it up first. Rows missing either a front or a back are skipped and called out in the count, rather than blocking the rest of the import.
Pasting straight from a spreadsheet works because those cells come across tab-separated; a real .csv file uses commas instead, including proper handling of a comma inside a quoted field (so a note like "a note, with a comma" imports as one field, not two). Either way, you'll see a live preview — how many cards are ready, how many rows were skipped, and a peek at the first several rows — before anything is actually added, and importing never overwrites or removes your existing cards; it only adds. A single import is capped at 1,000 rows — for anything larger, split it into a couple of batches.
Click ⬇️ Export on any custom deck to download it as a plain JSON file — the exact same [front, back, note] format the built-in decks themselves are stored in. It's a straightforward way to back up a deck, move it between accounts, or hand it to someone else. Note that this is a different format from what the spreadsheet importer above reads (CSV/TSV, not JSON), so an exported file isn't something you'd paste back into the import box as-is.
Click Study on any deck to start a session. Click the card (or press Space / the up arrow) to flip it, then mark how you did — Still Learning or I Know It (or the left/right arrow keys once it's flipped). A deck card also offers Review Weak, which studies only the cards currently marked "still learning" or never seen, for a faster pass focused on what actually needs work. Mid-session, "Back" lets you step to the previous card to review or re-mark it, and "Skip" moves on without recording an answer either way.
Heading somewhere without a connection — a flight, the subway, a dead zone? Nothing to set up: every deck you can access is saved to your device automatically in the background the next time you open Memorize More with a connection, so Study keeps working with zero signal. A deck that's ready shows ✓ Available offline under its card count once caching finishes, which normally only takes a moment after the dashboard loads.
Every card you mark while offline is remembered on your device and sent to your account automatically the next time you're back online — usually within a few seconds, with a small ⏳ syncing indicator in the top navigation while it catches up. Nothing is lost by studying with no connection; it just saves the trip to the server for later.
If you open Memorize More itself with no connection at all — not just mid-session, but from a cold start — you'll land on a simple offline screen listing whatever's been cached so far, so you can jump straight into a deck without needing to sign in again first.
Not studying something right now but don't want to delete it? Archive it — from the deck's menu on your dashboard — and it disappears from your main view without losing any progress. Find every archived deck under 📦 Archived Decks, where you can preview its cards read-only or restore it to your dashboard at any time, picking up exactly where you left off.
Once every card in a deck is currently marked "I Know It," it earns a green ✓ Complete badge — a live snapshot that can disappear again the moment you get something wrong. A 🏆 Master This Deck button also appears once a deck is Complete: it runs you through every single card in the deck in one sitting, and if you get every one right with zero misses, the deck permanently earns a gold ⭐ Mastered badge. Unlike Complete, Mastered doesn't go away — it's a record of a clean run you can re-attempt any time (that same button stays available afterward), but it's never taken back just because your current stats slip.
Every deck has a Stats page breaking its cards into three lists: still learning, already known, and not yet seen. The first two are expandable — click a card to see its full answer and note, with a quick-mark button to correct or update its status right there instead of starting a full quiz session.
See a card mid-quiz that you want to come back to later — from any deck, any time? Tap ☆ Star in the quiz footer to add it to your personal collection. Find everything you've starred under ⭐ Starred in the top navigation, where each card shows which deck it came from and can be unstarred with one click. From there, Quiz Starred Cards runs a single shuffled session across everything you've starred, regardless of which deck it's from — each card is tagged with a "From: <deck name>" badge as it comes up, the same way Ultimate Quiz shows its cards' origins. Starring is free for everyone, on every deck you can already open.
Pick any mix of your decks — built-in or custom — and how many cards you want, and Ultimate Quiz shuffles them all together into one combined session, showing which deck each card came from as it's asked. It's a fast way to cram across everything at once instead of deck by deck. Every finished run is saved to your history (visible on the Insights page), where you can expand any past run to see exactly which cards you got right or wrong.
A dashboard of how your studying is actually going: a bar chart of "know it" vs. "still learning" marks over the last 30 days, a recommendation banner pointing at either your weakest area or something you haven't tried yet, and a breakdown for every deck — a pie of its current know/learning/unseen split, a line chart of known-cards-over-time, and a short list of its toughest cards (the ones you've missed the most). Your Ultimate Quiz history also lives here, with each past run expandable into its full card-by-card breakdown.
If you haven't studied in a day, Memorize More will email you a nudge with a suggestion of what to work on next — pulled from the same logic behind the Insights recommendation banner. Reminders are on by default; turn them off any time from Settings, and your choice is remembered on your account until you change it again.
Click 💬 Feedback in the top navigation any time — it's the same place you'll find this page, under 📘 Docs. There are two tabs: Suggest a deck, for a topic you'd like to see added to the built-in library, and Report a problem, for flagging something wrong in a specific deck (pick the deck, then describe what's off — which card, and what it should say instead). Both go straight to the team behind Memorize More; there's no need to also email separately.
New accounts need to verify their email before they can do anything else — check your inbox for the link right after signing up (Settings can resend it if it expired). From Settings you can also see your current plan, toggle study reminders, and, once you're Premium, jump to your billing history. The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Refund Policy are linked there too.
