Being tested more often on cards that you have difficulty with

Since I plan on using mental case to study languages, I think it would be very helpful to be able to mark notes/cards as "wrong". That way Mental Case can automatically determine how much difficulty you are having with a particular card and quiz you more often on it.

Yes, this is a popular request, and we have now added it to Mental Case. It will be in the next release, which should appear in a week or two.

Stay tuned...

This is great news. I've been looking for a Mac replacement for SuperMemo. SuperMemo's great strength is its ability to set the interval of repetition based on a grade you give yourself for each item. I used it with great success while studying for the CISSP.

I love the look and feel of Mental Case but a more SuperMemo-like method for deciding which items to show or not would make it a must have app for me.

In case you're unaware of the product: www.supermemo.com.

They have a lengthy page on the algorithm they use here: http://www.supermemo.com/english/algsm11.htm.

I don't know if it's proprietary or not.

Anyway, great job so far. I look forward to seeing the new version.
