Mental Case 2

Mental Case is one of the best flash card style note apps. Today Mental Case 2 is available for iPhone and iPad.

When my wife went to Law School she relied on me to recommend some good study tools. I reviewed many note-taking and flash card apps for the Mac and iOS. I settled on a combination of OmniOutliner1 for notes and Mental Case for studying. Two years later, she still thinks they’re great.

Mental Case 2 is a complete redesign and a new “purchase”. Well, actually it’s free but the nerdier features like iCloud sync are available as a $3 IAP.

As for the design, they either predicted iOS7 or quickly adopted some of the design principles. It looks nice and has some surprising animations.
