USA Flashcards & Trivia Help

Thank you for purchasing gWhiz’s USA Flashcards & Trivia!

Basic Operation of Flashcards
To get started, tap any one of the card sets and those cards will be loaded.

To flip a card, tap the Tap Here text (in Two Card view) or the blue arrow in the lower right corner (in One Card view) and the answer will be displayed.
After reviewing both sides, tap on the green check mark to indicate that you know the material, or tap on the red X if you do not. After "scoring" the card, the next card in the category will be displayed and the cumulative score (displayed in the upper right of the screen) will be updated.
Once you've gone through the entire set, the score will be saved and is viewable from the home screen. Note that if you've taken a quiz multiple times, the average of those scores will be shown along with the number of quizzes taken.

Tap Library at any time to return to the home screen.
