40.Anki	Available for:iOSAndroid
In my opinion this is the best app for flashcards there is today. It doesnt have a wide plethora of premade cards made by users but its got the best method and system to make sure you memorize and learn from your cards. The Spaced repetition system boils down to repeating and showing you the cards you are having the most trouble with and show you the ones you are getting them right less and less. This saves you time and gives you a better chance of learning the entire thing. If you are a med student or a student needing to memorize formulas for graduate school/GRE or any big incoming test, this is a must and users actually have already made premade [and thorough cards] for you to study.
