Main features of My FlashCards BETA for Windows 8 and 8.1:
When you install and launch the My FlashCards BETA app on your Windows 8 or 8.1 device, you will be presented with the below interface.
In the above screen, you can start creating a flashcard by clicking on the +FlashCards button at the top right of the screen. When you do so, you will be presented with an interface shown in the below screenshot.
In the above screenshot, you can see the flashcard that I was creating by typing in front and back text at the topmost text field and the text field at the bottom of it. You can also change the flashcard color by clicking on the color that you like from the left side of the screen. When you have done that, you will be able to save your flashcard by clicking on the Save button towards the right side of the screen. You can also clear all your text by clicking on the Clear button at the bottom of the screen. Once your flashcard has been created, you can view it.
You can see my flashcard in the screenshot above. To switch to the back side of the flashcard, simply click and drag your mouse over the same, or on touch screen devices, you can also swipe your finger over the flashcard. Via the main screen of the app, the app also allows for creation of to do lists. To do so, simply click on the +To-Do List button at the top left of the screen in the main screen of the app, and you will be presented with a blank to do list where you can add items by simply typing in at the top and clicking the + button next to the text field.
You can see that in the above to do list, I have already added a few items. To mark the items as done, simply click on the square button next to the items added to the to do list, and they will be removed. The app allows you to create two to-do lists simultaneously, one green and the other yellow. You can see the green one minimized below the yellow one in the above screenshot. To access the green to do list, simply click on its title bar. These simultaneous to do lists allow you to easily sort items.
