Unfortunately, Quizlet has paywalled its most basic learning functionality, so now I'm looking for a free alternative.

The functionality I'm looking for is the following: you define a set of terms, along with their definition (a set in Quizlet), then the definitions are shown to you one by one, and you have to answer each term correctly by typing it in full. In the first round, each definition is shown, then in the second one, only the ones whose term you failed to answer correctly in the first round. This goes on until you manage to type all of the terms correctly.

Can you recommend me any other app (for Android or for the web) that has the same functionality, but for free? So far, I've tried AnkiDroid, but it doesn't support answering by typing the term in full.

  • That's basically the "Flashcard principle". I'm not using any of those so I cannot tell which of them might support requiring fully typed answers, but you can find a collection of such apps in my listing of Vocabulary & Flash Cards. Should you identify one that fits your needs, be welcome to answer your own question ;)

  • If you read my whole question, you must notice that I'm NOT looking for a flashcard-based alternative. Actually, I need an app that enables me to do the same typing- and round-based learning method Quizlet has. Does any of these apps have such a functionality?

I created a site for my daughter and then I made it public. You can maybe give a try to www.vocaquiz.com which is free. You can create a set of terms and study them. I will add more feature if it is get used :)

  • Does it support the functionality I describe in my question? I'm specifically looking for that, there are so many general flashcards apps and websites out there, but what I'm looking for is not supported by most of them.

After some search, I managed to find the perfect alternative, knowt.io. This website has the same functionality as Quizlet, and what I was looking for. It also supports importing sets from Quizlet, and I've already moved several of my previous sets there. The only downside is that it doesn't have an app version, so the experience is not perfect on mobile yet.

Certainly! One Quizlet Alternative that offers similar functionality for free is "StudyBlue." StudyBlue allows you to create flashcards with terms and definitions, and it provides a learning mode where you can test yourself on these flashcards by typing in the full term. It also adapts the learning process based on your responses, similar to what you described. StudyBlue is available for both Android and web platforms, so you can access it from anywhere. Give it a try, and hopefully, it will meet your learning needs!

Stumbled upon this post 2 years later..so obviously some of us still face this issue. Tried most of the tools I found out there, from knowt, ankidroid and others and finally stuck with kardsAI!. Found it to be most intuitive and gave me the best results when converting PDFs to flashcards using the AI features, plus wanted something that is available on mobile AND web. Hope this helps to whoever finds it in future..
