Why is web-based better?
Flashcard Exchange is software that you use over the internet right inside the same web browser you're using to view this page right now. You don't have to install any CDs, download any software, or perform any maintenance. Just like an online bank or a web-based email service, you go to our password-protected website, log in, and you're working. Your data is completely secured, backed-up every day, and you can access it from any computer anywhere. That's better!
1. Complete peace of mind
You don't have to worry about anything. Security, backups, updates— it's all on us. Plus, unlike a lot of companies on the web, we've been in business since 2001. Over 400,000 people in over 60 countries use this product. We're battle tested and here to stay.
2. Secure and state of the art
Our state-of-the-art servers are protected by biometric locks and 24-hour surveillance. Our software and infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches. The traffic on our network flows behind an enterprise-class firewall to keep your data safe.
3. Backed up daily
Your data is backed up every day. Our backups are stored in multiple locations for additional redundancy. You could say our backups have backups. We've never lost anyone's data and we won't lose yours.
4. Always up to date and upgraded
Unlike traditional flashcard products that require you to download and install updates yourself, this site is updated automatically. Whenever you use Flashcard Exchange you're always using the latest version.
5. Nothing to install, ever
With Flashcard Exchange there's nothing to download or install. Just log in with the web-browser you already have (Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox). It's just like your online bank or web-based email program.
6. Access from home, work, or the road
When you use Flashcard Exchange your desk is everywhere. At work, at home, a hotel, at school, even on your iPhone. Your data is accessible anywhere with internet access.
7. Share across your group
Flashcard Exchange is made for collaboration and sharing. Instead of everyone having to have separate flashcard programs, everyone is using the same web-based program and can team up to get things done faster.
8. PC, Mac, Linux, and mobile friendly
Software used to only be available for certain platforms. There was Windows software, Mac software, etc. Flashcard Exchange works on any platform with a web browser and internet connection. Mac, Windows, and more.
9. It saves you time
Since you don't have to worry about downloads or installs or upgrades or servers or compatibility or troubleshooting or crashes or backups, you can actually spend your time studying and learning. We'll do the rest.
