Well, it seems kind of lacking... I don't like how I have to make my flash cards seperately in a text file, and the interface seems somewhat confusing. I've been beta testing iFlash, and the upcoming 2.0 version is a lot better than this for Japanese flash cards.

JFC authoring mode is planned - dirkpitt2050

Thanks for your feedback! Every comment helps me improve JFC. While it is true iFlash is much more feature-rich and bug-free, it is also Version 2.0. Also, JFC has lots of features aimed specifically at studying Japanese. For example, a kanji card will have 4 basic entries for 1) kanji, 2) on-yomi, 3) kun-yomi, 4) meaning. JFC will automatically choose among these four to show you. With iFlash, you would need to tediously create multiple cards yourself, one with say, kanji on the front and on-yomi on the back, another with kun-yomi on the front and the meaning on the back... etc. Moreover, you can attach example words that use that kanji to the same card, so you learn usage at the same time too. A future version will feature an authoring mode much like iFlash. Stay tuned!

Actually, iFlash 2 supports multiple card sides (I've been using it for kanji/furigana/english), but it's still not released yet.. Good to know that you're updating this though, it really shows promise.
