Since we introduced Quizlet Live last spring, more than 100,000 teachers have played our collaborative learning game with over 4 million students. The Quizlet team has loved seeing all the excitement and learning happening in your [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO2XrUw9N7M), [blog posts](http://www.mathycathy.com/blog/2016/04/teamwork-and-communication-using-quizlet-live/) and [tweets](https://twitter.com/search?q=quizlet%20live&src=typd) from all over the world. Students and teachers have [played a key part](https://quizlet.com/blog/engineering-controlled-chaos-how-to-build-a-real-time-game-for-classrooms) in developing Quizlet Live since the beginning. And now, we're excited to announce a new set of features, inspired by requests from all of you.

With the start of the school year, we’ve added the top three most-requested features to Quizlet Live, available today — but only for [Quizlet Teacher](https://quizlet.com/upgrade/teacher) subscribers. Included with the Quizlet Teacher upgrade, you can create your own teams, keep the game going from set to set, and even play a game with audio! 

### Customize teams

Want to group your students together based on level, who gets along, or keep your students seated where they are? Quizlet Live can still assign teams randomly, but now you can customize who’s on which team before starting a game. Pair students together that can learn from each other, or keep the same teams from day to day.

### Keep your teams while switching sets

Expand the material you can cover in a Quizlet Live session by switching between sets with a click of a button — all while keeping the same teams. You can start with a review set and then jump to introduce new content without losing time shuffling students around.

### Play with audio

Help students learn how to pronounce the words they're seeing by playing the game with audio . The audio feature is great for foreign languages, ESL, or even reinforcing English vocabulary. Just turn audio on when you set up your teams and you’re ready to go. Warning: using audio can add to the occasional cacophony of a round of Quizlet Live! 

These three new features are part of [Quizlet Teacher](https://quizlet.com/upgrade/teacher), which also includes the ability to add custom images to your study sets, record your voice, remove ads, and track class progress. As always, we very much value your feedback, so please let us know how these features work for you, and what you’d like to see next. Have a great school year!


Take Quizlet Live to the next level!

This spring, we released our first real-time game for classrooms, Quizlet Live. Our beta included over 1 million students and teachers and since launch a month ago, we've added another 3 million. Now, it's grown to 1 million weekly users. These numbers are evidence that we built an engaging, educational game that really works for classroom environments. Our game design process, which involved visits to dozens of classrooms over several months of iteration, is a major reason for this success. Here's how we did it.

![IMG_2462-ANIMATION.gif](https://img.quizlet.com/umVqX-o.jpg)

### Building Quizlet for the classroom

Quizlet has always had a social dimension - students share content and compete with each other. About half our traffic is during school hours when students are often competing in the same place in the same time in a classroom. But until now, Quizlet hasn't had a real-time features. Quizlet can be more fun when you compete against your friends but it's not essential to the experience.

As a team, we spend a lot of time at schools talking with students and teachers. Classrooms have unpredictable technology and bad wifi. But they're are also incredible environments with complex interpersonal dynamics between students and odd desk configurations.  If our game could harness that natural social energy and direct it towards learning, we'd create a learning experience that students will want to play again and again (and teachers will love that).

### Finding the perfect game dynamic

Teachers and students have always asked us to build new games and we've even built prototypes of classroom games in the past. But none of them ever turned into something ready to launch. For this project, we wanted to explore what we could build before we settled on the perfect dynamic. And so, we built a configurable UI that could pull Quizlet data and allow us to try out different game dynamics.

As we played more, we saw potential in using teams. Competition could be less pressure and more fun with a team than when you were just on your own. But basic team-based concepts, such as adding up all teammates correct answers to a total score, weren't enough. Yes, you were working with other people but it wasn't truly collaborative. And what's worse, if you didn't want to work, you could easily check out of the process and not participate.

A prototype based on [Spaceteam](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sleepingbeastgames.spaceteam&hl=en) brought the team dynamic to the next level: you answered questions to gain points for your team but sometimes the correct answer would actually appear on another teammate's screen. Now, you relied on your team for more than just cumulative points - you had to communicate and work together. However, the concept was also extremely chaotic and confusing.

In our next iteration, we found exactly what we were looking for: everyone the same prompt but only one had the correct answer. To answer the question, you had to work with the rest of your team. When we played it ourselves, we were learning and having an awesome time.  As someone said, “If we build this, people are going to throw stuff.” While we didn't literally want people to do that, we were definitely onto something with this game.

### Refining the design principles with teachers

We had a game dynamic that we believed in but the real test of whether the game would be successful was getting teachers to adopt it. Before we finalized the UI and built an alpha to test with students, we refined our concept in paper prototypes with a dozen teachers.

![IMG_2442.JPG](https://img.quizlet.com/SeQHR-o.jpg)

**Make learning collaborative**

Quizlet Live's emphasis on collaboration and communication was obviously a hit with teachers. And this was partially because they already use collaborative, team-based activities in their classrooms (albeit usually without technology). Think of how many class activities you did in school that required working with other students and think about how memorable those experiences were.  Quizlet Live builds upon that concept and makes it easier and more accessible through technology.

**Reward accuracy over speed**

Race-based games inherently reward speed. This can lead students to act without thinking since they want to rack up as many points as possible (we did this too). That sort of snap decision making isn't something that teachers want to encourage and [research has shown](http://www.youcubed.org/wp-content/uploads/nctm-timed-tests.pdf) that it doesn't help them learn.

To help alleviate this problem, we decided to reward accuracy over speed. There's a time constraint to keep the energy up but if you just answer quickly instead of thinking about it, you don't get very far. Getting a wrong answer resets your team's progress. Not communicating with your team had real consequences for your ability to win.

**Embrace randomness**

Our MVP was scoped to assign teams randomly not because of a conscious design decision but for ease of engineering. However, it had been our assumption that the game wouldn't be successful without the ability to customize teams. As we talked to teachers, though, we found that random teams was actually a compelling component of the game. As one teacher told us, “This is a great lesson for  my 12th graders. Life is random. You never know who you'll have to end up working with.” 

As we tested the game in classrooms, we found randomness also appealed to students. They were often teamed up with people they'd never even talked to before. In a class of 30+ students, it's easy to go through a whole school year without knowing everyone in the class. And it was fun to get to know new people in the context of the game.

**Make the game fun**

Our first sketches themed teams to colors (gold, blue, magenta etc) to make your team clear through the UI. 

![IMG_2049.JPG](https://img.quizlet.com/z3MQv-o.jpg)

One teacher suggested a far better theme: animals - particularly the animals that Quizlet gives students as profile pictures. They're a huge hit with students and they identify very strongly with “their animal” on Quizlet.  And so we swapped out colors for an array of unique animals from Alpacas to Oxen to Hedgehogs. 

![Screen Shot 2016-04-30 at 10.09.25 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/mAwtf-o.jpg)

As we tested in classrooms, it was obvious this was a great idea -  students from 5th grade to 12th grade get excited to see what animal they get and teams build connections immediately. We've even expanded the set of animals to 40 (based on students' suggestions) and we might add more in the future :)

### Scheduling a deadline for a real-world MVP

The next step was testing our concept in a real classroom with real students to see if it worked. A deadline would help us be ruthless in our prioritization of what needed work.  And so we scheduled a class visit at Life Academy, a public high school in Oakland, in three weeks. We told the teacher we'd be demoing a new game with her 9th grade English class. Now, all we needed to do was build it.

![IMG_2214.JPG](https://img.quizlet.com/NvVFP-o.jpg)

When the morning of our visit came, the game infrastructure was in place, the basic UI was built, and we'd tested that it worked at the office the night before (although with significantly less people than the 25 students waiting for us at the school).

When we started the game, there was a deadening silence for the first few seconds. Finally a few students started talking but they were all saying “I'm confused.” or “Huh? I don't get it.” Panic started to set in.  Were they even going to be able to play this game? Had we overthought it?

Then one student yelled out, “Oh, I get it! Only one of us has the answer and we need to figure out who it is.” Quickly this information cascaded through the rest of the students and “What?” became “Ohhh!” And with that, they were off, talking to each other in order to figure out the answers.

![classroom.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/HYdM3-o.jpg)

An air of complete engagement permeated the classroom. No one was messing around elsewhere on the internet since everyone on the team needed to be on point to win the game. Anyone who's ever been in a classroom of 25 students using laptops will be shocked by this. By the end of the first game, the students couldn't wait to play again. And the teacher was thrilled to see how engaged and active her class was about learning. The core concept was validated - and now we just needed to refine, test, and iterate further.

Over the course of the next two months, we tested Quizlet Live in a dozen classrooms as we built out the fuller experience. And we focused on getting that initial confusion time down to nearly nothing through clearer UI and improved new user onboarding.

### Beta testing with a million students and teachers

After we'd nailed down the final UI, we knew we needed to test it at a larger scale in order to get a greater diversity of feedback and find new bugs. Our initial beta group was 3,000 teachers and it grew to 50,000 teachers and 1,000,000 students, with hundreds of teachers requesting beta access every day.

![IMG_2554-ANIMATION.gif](https://img.quizlet.com/BSByq-o.jpg)

If Quizlet Live turned out to be a hit (which it did), hundreds of thousands of students could be connected to games at any one time. In January, the max we'd ever connected was 35. During our beta period, we planned to scale up slowly from dozens to millions. Every week, we fielded thousands of incoming requests from teachers, asking to be added to the beta. They'd heard about the game from other teachers and couldn't wait to give it a try with their students. This was the best validation that we were onto something with Quizlet Live. And with 50,000 teachers, we could also gather feedback at a scale far beyond the dozens of classrooms we visited around San Francisco.

### Launching Quizlet Live

During our beta period, we worked through bugs, scaling problems, and made lots of great improvements to the overall experience. And most importantly, we were able to build an fun, educational experience that really worked for a classroom environment. Without all the testing we'd done with over a million teachers and students that wouldn't have been possible.

Engineering Controlled Chaos - How to build a real-time game for classrooms

*This is a guest blog post by Josh Kurzweil, a teacher who uses [Quizlet Live](https://quizlet.com/features/live) with his class.*

I have been using Quizlet with my [adult ESL lesson plans](https://quizlet.com/content/ESL-lesson-plans-for-adults) and classes for many years and have often been puzzled by how to motivate students to develop better study habits to learn more effectively. While some students immediately take to Quizlet’s individual study features and see big improvements in their learning, others seem to be less motivated to study with it.

My dilemma has been how to integrate different kinds of review exercises into the classroom to help my students successfully learn material and become more motivated to study with Quizlet at home. Recently, Quizlet released a new feature called Quizlet Live, which has been instrumental in integrating quick bursts of vocabulary study into my classes. By combining studying with a social game, students have started to see individual study as a way to prepare for the game and increase their participation in class. In addition, the interactive experience of studying encourages them that with small amounts of practice, they can be successful with their learning and not see it as a daunting task.

![2016-03-24 11.27.59.jpeg](https://img.quizlet.com/x2XV5-o.jpg)

### Understand your classroom dynamics

I generally assign students between 30 and 75 vocabulary words a week and they get a quiz every Monday on about 10-12 of those words. For example, my advanced reading/writing class recently did a unit on ‘[Social Media](https://quizlet.com/30252940/social-media-vocabulary-flash-cards/)’ and studied a set that I created for them with terms such as blog, inhibited, anonymous, etc.

For some students, this routine of having a weekly quiz along with opportunities to use the vocabulary in speaking and writing activities is enough to boost their study time at home using Quizlet. However there are students who do poorly on the quiz and become resigned to that reality because they cram material right before the quiz. 

### Using the game to enliven your lessons

Since Quizlet Live is a high-energy game that usually lasts for 10-15 minutes, I try to insert 2-3 games a week. For example, I might introduce a vocabulary set on Monday by having students discuss the topic and identify words from the list that they are not familiar with. As homework, I assign them to study the Quizlet set on their own and also tell them that we will be playing Quizlet Live the next day to add motivation. Using the ‘Class Progress’ feature on Quizlet’s [teacher account](https://quizlet.com/upgrade/teacher), I can see if they have completed their homework. 

Quizlet Live is also a great way to increase the classroom energy level and sometimes I’ll save it for the end of the class as a way of finishing on a high note, as well as reminding them to study more that night. I’ve also learned that the key to student enjoyment is to do these exercises at a steady cadence so students aren’t left bored and are always engaged.

### How the game works

To play Quizlet Live, each student needs to have a smart phone, tablet, or laptop. It is also helpful to have a projector in the class so you can display your screen. Here are the steps for setting up the game. 

- The teacher goes onto Quizlet and selects a set to play the game. [Check your settings](https://quizlet.com/settings) to make sure your account is set to "teacher" instead of "student."

- The teacher clicks on “Live.” Below is what the dashboard looks like when I’m looking at my vocabulary set on ‘Social Media.’ 

![Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 10.35.54 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/5WM3B-o.jpg)

- You will then see a screen that looks like this.

![Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 10.37.21 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/KVrQx-o.jpg)

- If you are playing for the first time, you may want to play the demo for your students to demonstrate how it works. Before you play with your class, it is worth reading through the “Learn More” page to ensure that your set will work and you are familiar with how to set up the game. If you don’t have a projector, you can also explain the game by drawing a sample game (see picture below) on the board.

![Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 10.38.52 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/CcxkX-o.jpg)

Here is a sample of what I say to my students while pointing to the picture above: 
*You play this game in teams. In this example, a student (You), Alec, and Karoun are playing on a team and have to click the right answer. You can only click on the answers under “You.” Sometimes your team member has the card and you don’t, so be careful not click a wrong answer. If you click a wrong answer, your team loses all its points and must start over. Don’t worry if you lose your points, you’ll be able to get them back quickly! The first team to match all 12 cards is the winner.*

- Click on “Create Game” and the following screen will appear. 

![Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 10.40.34 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/66csn-o.jpg)

- At this point, if you have a projector, it is helpful to show this screen so that students can join the game. They simply go to quizlet.live and enter the code and their names. They do not need to have a Quizlet account to play. As they join the game, their names will appear on the right side.

- Once six students have joined, the “Create Game” button will turn blue.  

![Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 11.25.40 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/YGq9t-o.jpg)

- After you click on “Create Game,” your screen will show the teams. 

![Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 11.21.30 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/jmxya-o.jpg)

- When I play with my students, I like to have them stand or sit together. This is a fun moment, especially in large classes, because sometimes students don’t know each other’s names so there is a social component here. Although the game does not require students to be seated next to each other, I find there is more cooperation and peer teaching if they do. My students typically play from their personal phones, thus the one rule I give my students is: 

*‘You can only touch the answer on your individual screen. You can tell your teammate if you think they have the correct answer, but only they can touch their phone.’*


This rule is important so that there is more discussion and so that the stronger student doesn’t take over the game. If the students are sitting apart from each other, this issue doesn’t come up but you do need to decide if you will allow students to call out to each other or not.  

- Click “Start Game” and watch progress for each team in real-time. If you have a projector, students can also see how they are doing in comparison to other teams, which also creates a sense of excitement. 

![Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 11.22.02 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/nUBZS-o.jpg)

- After the game is over, the screen will show vocabulary that students frequently missed and the ones they got right. This provides feedback on terms to review in the next class. 

![Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 12.58.02 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/hjEfj-o.jpg)

- When my students are up for additional rounds, I can simply repeat the procedure and play again. There is the option to mix up teams, which can give students a chance to meet more people and have a nice social break.

### How Quizlet Live has helped my students 

Here are some of the ways that using Quizlet Live can benefit students.

1. **It provides [spaced repetition practice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition).**  Recent books such as [Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning](http://www.amazon.com/Make-Stick-Science-Successful-Learning/dp/0674729013/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1458659555&sr=1-1&keywords=make+it+stick) examine research on how to make learning more effective. Spaced repetition is a core concept that encourages students to spread out their studying and do shorter more frequent bursts of studying (rather than massed practice). By playing the game regularly, students get spaced repetition practice and they can see how it helps them.  

2. **It creates opportunities for peer teaching.**  If you play the game with the students in groups, you see peer teaching as students discuss their answers. The social aspect of peer teaching can help students remember and internalize the terms. The ones who are teaching develop confidence and internalize the words more deeply, while the students who are learning feel more comfortable learning from another student in a small group.  

3. **It balances competition and cooperation.**  Rather than having individuals compete against one another, students work cooperatively in teams. With individual competitions, it is far more likely for students who aren’t as good to drop and give up. By having the students cooperate in teams, students feel included and engaged. Learn more about [cooperative learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_learning).

4. **[Social Proof.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof)**  Students who struggle with studying can see students who have do it well, which can serve as a motivator because they realize learning is achievable.
 
5. **Provides motivation to study. ** To do well in the game, students need to study. Since students are playing in teams, there is social motivation to be prepared to not let their team down. 

6. **Taps into the game culture.** The Quizlet Live feature is very much a game and students spend an amazing amount of time playing and mastering games that are quite challenging. Through [gamification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification), motivation can be added to the learning experience.

How I Made Learning Fun in My Classroom using Quizlet Live

Quizlet Live in the classroom gives students a fantastic, fun way to learn soft skills like collaboration while mastering course content.

Teachers--are you looking for a fun, engaging game for your classroom where students can learn from each other? That’s why we built Quizlet Live. It’s designed to bring fresh energy into classroom. Teams of students work together, racing to learn the material in a Quizlet study set. Correct answers move teams ahead, but wrong answers send teams back to zero. In order to win, students need to communicate with each other to make sure they pick correctly.

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/161809207" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

### How Quizlet Live works

Teachers can launch Quizlet Live from any study sets and create a game in seconds (no accounts needed for your students). Just ask your students to type in quizlet.live on any device (computers, mobile phones, iPads etc) and enter the unique join code on your screen.

![live-screens-two@2x.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/9eUUa-o.jpg)

Once all your students have joined, they are randomly assigned to an animal-themed team of 3 or 4 students. If the first random selection isn't good, teachers can also reshuffle the teams as many times as you need. 

![live-screens-three@2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/jsgF7-o.jpg)

Students move around the room to find their teammates so they can communicate more easily. Once everyone is settled, you can start the game and the race begins.

![live-screens-five@2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/ys7hv-o.jpg)

Teammates work together to match correct answers faster than the other teams. For each game, twelve possible answers are spread across each teammate’s screen. Everyone on the team gets the same question but only one student has the answer. And so, they need to communicate with each other to find the correct answers in the least amount of time.  

![live-screens-four@2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/RExFq-o.jpg)

Answers must be quick but accurate - one wrong answer and the team’s progress is reset to zero. The first team to clear their board of all the answers wins!

![Screen Shot 2016-04-04 at 9.53.42 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/MQjTy-o.jpg)

At the end of a game, teachers get a class-level snapshot of how well the students know the material, breaking down what material students know well and what still needs the most attention.

![Screen Shot 2016-04-04 at 9.41.25 AM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/Nc6Av-o.jpg)

Here's a demo of how the game works, presented by the Quizlet Team.

### What teachers are saying

"Quite simply the students love the game! They say that it is very motivational and they learn their own words as well as the words of the teams with which they are cooperating. They were desperate to try LIVE again, so we will be returning to it regularly."

"Every single one of my language students from 8th graders to 12th graders was actively involved in the learning and review process. There was no down time. No one felt left out. They were all engaged. The students were forced to communicate and collaborate. It was simply amazing. We played six rounds in 30 minutes. They wanted to keep going. I nearly had a mutiny on my hands."

"While I always knew I was teaching the Wired Generation, never before have I seen such engagement, such willful cooperation, and such pride in learning. WOW does not begin to cover it."

Awesome job Quizlet, you guys are going quite far on your mobile apps! It's so helpful having the apps!

Hey Quizlet, can we get a button on the learn mode to restart please?

@vce, you should be able to fullscrren by pressing on the text that has the ... and you'll see the whole thing. @ChenShiMing press options and then there's a start over button.

@sophiabk It doesn't work on my device using the latest version, but I could expand them in the beta version :). Could be a bug.

By the way if you are learning a language like German, how do you access the non English symbols in learn mode with the app?

@msweeney1 hold down the letter you'd like to add an accent on (for example, if you want to add an umlaut to u long press u) and you'll see the options to add an accent to that letter.

can't find it!!
the title is just "Quizlet"?

Great now I can see quizlet on an android!

found it!! It's nice. Thank you! Quizlet team.

was waiting for this app from a long time! thanks quizlet!

man, ive been looking forward to this moment for months!!! finally!!!!!! :D :D :D

Looks great! My only suggestion (for the app and website) for Learn Mode would be too allow just the first line of the answer to be entered, since its a pain to enter multiline answers (or even possible?). This would enable me to organize my cards with the first line as an (easy to enter) acronym, for instance a (made up) card could be:
Question: 
 When is bacterial resistance futile?
Answer: 
 BORG
 -Breathing difficulty
 -Osteomyopathy
 -Retroperitoneal pain
 -GI obstruction

This allows you to power through a 100 cards in a few minutes in Learn Mode, yet be able to quickly verify that you still know what the acronym stands for. Yeah, I know I could just turn off keyboard entry or use the Cards Mode, but I wouldn't get the added benefit of task memory by typing them in. I thought about using the override mode for the cards I got correct, but I don't want to do a copy of the entire multiline answer for the cards I got wrong. I'd rather just enter "BORG". Thanks.

Thank you very much for all the hard work. It's been an absolute pleasure testing the app during its beta phases. Looking forward to putting the app into use, especially with my classes resuming once again next month. I'll do my best to spread the word about how amazing Quizlet is!

I'm pretty excited. I have been looking for a good notecard app but didn't like having to import the sets from quizlet to a company I knew nothing about. Thanks so much, this is going to make my last quarter of undergrad so much easier

@msweeney1
You could also use a German keyboard
Settings > Language & Input > Keyboard & Input Methods > Google Keyboard > [settings logo] > Inut Languages> Uncheck "Use System Language" > Check both English and German.
If you don't have it get Google keyboard here, it's awesome: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin&hl=en
It comes default on Nexus devices, but it may not on yours.

Thanks! I am soo happy its on Android now that I started AP Euro!

Just a suggestion: Could you please find a way to do italics? PLEASE!!

I think you just killed Apple because I use to consider the Quizlet app as the iPhone's only advantage over Android.

great app! better than anything else available for Android!

OMG I'm so excited to try it, thanks guys :)

What is the name of the ap? Can't find it!!!

THIS IS WHY QUIZLET IS SO EPIC! GO QUIZLET!

oh man its to bad i could not find one for the Microsoft store.

hmmmm....... I have 36 terms in one of my set, but you divided up into 7(or 8) terms x 5 rounds? Is this only me? I want to have whole 36 terms to appear in one round. Is there a option that I'm missing?

Besides that, 1,000 thanks! Love you guys :)b

I wish there was a way I could download Quizlet to my laptop. That way I could still work on my sets even when I don't have an internet connect. I can type way faster on my laptop than my cell phone :)

thank you for the android app now i can study my vocabulary more easily on my mobile

Noticed a bug where the minus subscript (from the maths/symbols dictionary) isn't displaying properly in the android app. (this is nothing to do with my recent request to expand the subscript/superscript dictionaries to help physics students but seems to be a bug as opposed to some extra functionality that I think would make life easier for a large proportion of quizlet users) :-)

The matching learning mode has issue with longer words and phrases. Those past a certain length are truncated as a series of dots(...), this is would all be well and good if, as with the flashcard mode, one could tap on the square and see the whole phrase. Is there a setting or function that I am missing that does this?

It appears that this app cannot be moved to the SD card, and my phone has very little internal memory, so I couldn't keep it. Can that be changed?

Yes, thanks, now I can learn when i traval

Awesome! Can Kindle users expect to see it in the amazon store any time soon?

Thank you!! Perfect timing for this difficult semester coming up.

Now I can throw away my Ipod that I only used for quizlet!!

hi, i am from Iran and i can not download from Google play but i like to have this app :-(

What about a Windows 8 mobile app? Now you have Apple and Android, right? So start working on Windows! :D

My comment...deleted,,,? What has happened?

Whooooo!!!!!!!!! Just in time for school :DDDDD. So excited...You guys rocks!

Is this available for kindle fire? I can't find it on the app store.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate Quizlet for Android - thank you!

Please add the create set option and the option to study only starred cards. Other than this, it is great!

I second Victoria_Reid, will this be in the amazon app store soon? My kindle is itching to help me learn.

Finally! It's here... I've been using Android for a while an i was getting jealous of the many people in my class using the iOS app. As soon as I saw the article, I downloaded the app. Seems good.

It's PERFECT, I love it! Keep up the great work guys! (:

Words fail to express how grateful we are.

OMG. THANK YOU >..>>. FINALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like crying, been waiting for this app for the longest!

How do you log out and sign in as a different user?

YEA THIS IS AWESOM IT REALLY HELPS ME WITH SCHOOL!

My app isn't working. The sets I made on the website didn't show up on the app. Also, my picture thing didn't change either. How can I fix this?

Hi, I really love this app! I was wondering if there was any way to use it specifically on a computer, though. I really love the ability to not have to type in mobile mode. 

I love the android app! its beautiful and works great.

This works great on my phone, but I wish that there was a Windows 8 quizlet app that I could use on my Surface.

My android device is really small and so whenever I try the flashcards or matching the font is really big and so I cant read anything by glancing at it or play the matching game properly... 

Can you guys please make a windows phone app?

Ya, When will the windows phone app come around? You guys should make an app for us too

Quizlet is Fantastic. love the offline feature. USE it all the time.

@Tianna_Twyman4 - Try logging out of the app and back in. If this is still a problem, please write into our feedback center about it: quizlet.com/feedback.

This is my first time commenting under amalianc.

(QUIZLET ROCKS)

Hey!! Thanks SO much for the app. Very useful! But particularly on my phone it gets slow and delays a lot specifically when I search for different sets. Honestly, I uninstalled it. It made my phone slow. It would rock if you made it someway faster :)

Its a Sansung Galaxy Y - GT (with some other weird numbers)

MAKE FLASHCARDS ABLE TO BE CREATED ON MOBILE ALREADY IT"S BEEN 5 MONTHS!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!
