Frequently asked questions
Does DeckOwl import sets directly from Quizlet?
DeckOwl builds flashcards from your own files rather than importing sets from other apps. You can upload your course material and generate a new set in a few minutes.
How do I study flashcards I have moved into GoodNotes?
Write your answer by hand on each page, cover the back, and check yourself before turning it over. Mark the cards you missed and review them again in a few days.
How many flashcards should I make for one topic?
There is no fixed number. Most students do better with a focused set of 15 to 25 cards per session than with one long list they skim.
Is PDF export included in the free plan?
No. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and study in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export are included in Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.
