Question 1

What is Mneva?

Accepted Answer

Mneva is an adaptive flashcard app that uses spaced repetition to help you retain information long-term. You can create decks manually, paste content, or use AI to turn PDFs, YouTube videos, and voice notes into cards in seconds.

Question 2

How do I create my first deck?

Accepted Answer

Go to My Decks from the sidebar and tap "New Deck". You can add cards manually, paste content, or use the AI generator on the Generate page to turn any PDF, YouTube video, webpage, or voice note into a ready deck in under a minute.

Question 3

Can I import from Quizlet or Anki?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Create Deck page choose "Import". Paste a Quizlet export (tab-separated format) or an Anki .apkg file and Mneva converts it instantly. No account linking required.

Question 4

Is Mneva free to use?

Accepted Answer

The free tier is genuinely useful: unlimited manual decks, spaced repetition, Train mode, and 6 games. Pro unlocks unlimited AI generation, the full Memory Map, Meteor Strike, and all advanced features. Check the Pricing page for full details.

Question 5

What's the difference between browsing cards and grading them?

Accepted Answer

When you open a deck, you start in classic browse mode: tap a card or press Space to flip it and see the answer, then tap ✓ (got it) or ✗ (didn't know it). This is simple self-grading. Your results are recorded, but no spaced repetition scheduling happens. To use the full SR algorithm, toggle SR mode on at the top. In SR mode the buttons change to Again / Hard / Good / Easy, and Mneva schedules each card's next review based on your answer. Browsing with ✓/✗ is quick self-checking; SR grading drives long-term retention.

Question 6

How does spaced repetition work in Mneva?

Accepted Answer

In SR mode, after you flip a card you rate how well you knew it: Again (completely forgot), Hard (significant difficulty), Good (correct with moderate effort), or Easy (effortless recall). Cards you struggle with return sooner, sometimes minutes later. Cards you know cold get pushed weeks or months into the future. This spaces your reviews at the moment you're about to forget, which research shows is the most efficient way to build permanent memory.

Question 7

What happens when I tap "Again"?

Accepted Answer

"Again" resets the card to the beginning of its learning cycle. The card re-enters the queue immediately. You will see it again by the end of the session. In SR mode, Mneva auto-retries all "Again" cards in a dedicated relearning round, so you get immediate reinforcement on what you missed.

Question 8

How is Train mode different from spaced repetition?

Accepted Answer

Train mode uses a Leitner-box system (5 boxes from New → Graduated) instead of SM-2. It adapts question difficulty: you start with multiple choice, and once you pass a card enough times it switches to typed answers. Train mode also factors in your response speed and accuracy history to prioritize weaker cards. You can use both: Train for adaptive practice, SR for long-term retention.

Question 9

What study games are available?

Accepted Answer

Mneva offers seven games: Matching, Multiple Choice, Typing, Speed Round, True or False Blitz, Survivor, and Meteor Strike. The first six are free; Meteor Strike requires a Pro plan. Each game reinforces recall differently. Variety improves long-term retention.

Question 10

What is the Memory Map?

Accepted Answer

The Memory Map is a visual knowledge graph that shows every card as a node, colored by how well you know it, from teal (mastered) to rose (critical). Cards orbit in concentric rings by topic, and each node shows how long ago you last reviewed it. Pro users get the full interactive map; free users see a preview.

Question 11

Can I study offline?

Accepted Answer

Mneva is a Progressive Web App. Install it on your device and your decks will be cached for offline study. Progress syncs automatically when you reconnect.

Question 12

What content can I generate cards from?

Accepted Answer

The AI generator supports: PDF documents, YouTube videos (via transcript), web pages, plain text paste, voice memos, and file uploads. Each source is processed, chunked, and turned into clean question–answer pairs.

Question 13

How accurate is the AI-generated content?

Accepted Answer

Generation quality depends on source quality. For well-structured textbooks and lecture slides quality is high. Always review generated cards before studying. The deck editor makes it quick to edit or delete any card.

Question 14

Does AI generation count against a usage limit?

Accepted Answer

Free users have a monthly AI generation limit. Pro users get a higher limit. Check your current usage in Settings.

Question 15

How do I upgrade to Pro?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Subscription or visit the Pricing page and tap "Upgrade". Payments go through Stripe. You'll get access to all Pro features straight away.

Question 16

Can I cancel at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription. You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period, then drop back to the free tier. No cancellation fees.

Question 17

Do you offer student or educational discounts?

Accepted Answer

Question 18

What is a Study Circle?
