Learning with Just R
What is Just R?
Just R is a flashcard app for iPhone and iPad. You make decks of words and phrases in any language, study them by flipping cards and marking Remember or Forgot, and the app reminds you to repeat each deck on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. See every feature
How does spaced repetition work in Just R?
Turn on the forgetting curve for a deck and Just R sets reminders 1 minute, 20 minutes, 1 hour, 9 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 6 days, 1 month and 3 months later. Each review comes just as you would start to forget, so the gaps can keep growing. You can also set your own reminder times. Spaced repetition and the forgetting curve, explained
Which languages can I learn?
Any language. You write the cards, so Just R works for English, Spanish, German, Polish or any other pair. Cards are read aloud with the voices installed on your iPhone or iPad. The app itself is in English, Ukrainian, Russian, German and Spanish.
Do I have to make every card myself?
No. The Phrases tab has ready-made decks of idioms, phrasal verbs and everyday expressions that you can save to your collection, and you can import your own word lists from a CSV file. About ready-made decks
Features
What kinds of cards can I make?
Five: word to word, sentence to sentence, sentence to flip, record sentence (you say the phrase and speech recognition types it) and quote. Every card can have a note, a tag and a color. Card types in detail
Can reminders go to my Calendar?
Yes. For each deck you choose how reminders arrive: as a local notification or as an event in your Calendar. Calendar reminders need permission to access your calendars.
Does Just R work offline?
Yes. You can create and study cards without a connection. Syncing your decks, AI features and ready-made decks need the internet.
Does Just R work on iPad and Mac?
Yes. Just R runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later, on Macs with Apple silicon and on Apple Vision Pro. There is no Android or web version.
Privacy, ads & AI
Are there ads in Just R?
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Ads are personalized only if you allow tracking when iOS asks; otherwise they are not personalized. You can review your choices in the app under Ads privacy settings. How ads work in Just R
What happens to my data when I use AI features?
AI features are optional and ask for your permission first. Only the text of the card is sent to OpenAI to create an image, a voice or context. Your name, email and account details are not sent. You can turn AI features off in Settings. AI features in the Privacy Policy
Account & sync
Can I use Just R on several devices?
Yes. Sign in with Apple, email or phone and your decks sync to your account, so they are there on a new iPhone or your iPad.
How do I delete my account?
Open Settings in the app and choose to remove your account. This deletes your account and the data synced to it. You can also email support@just-r.app and ask us to delete it. What gets deleted
