Try a real PhysicsRecall card: tap it, then rate it.

The film

PhysicsRecall, in motion.

A short narrated tour of the app.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner. Cards you know wait longer.

Flip a card, rate it Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and PhysicsRecall keeps the schedule for you.

  1. Recall

    Read the question and answer it in your head before you flip the card.

  2. Rate

    Tell the app how it went. Honest ratings make a better schedule.

  3. Return

    Open Today and the cards that are due are waiting, with a few new ones and your daily goal.

The gap before the next review grows each time you remember a card.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Monthly and yearly plans start with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends and you will not be charged. Lifetime is a one-time purchase without a trial.

Is there a free version?

No. PhysicsRecall is a paid app, and you choose a plan when you first open it. The free trial on monthly and yearly lets you use everything before you pay.

Who is it for?

PhysicsRecall is built for AP Physics 1, 2 and C, introductory college physics and MCAT physics review. It covers Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Waves & Optics, Electric Circuits, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity and Nuclear Physics, among 21 decks in total. AP® is a trademark registered by the College Board; MCAT® is a registered trademark of the Association of American Medical Colleges. These organizations are not affiliated with, and do not endorse, PhysicsRecall.

Does my progress sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac?

No. One purchase unlocks PhysicsRecall on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple Account, but study progress is stored separately on each device. The Apple Watch app is the exception: reviews you do on the watch are sent back to your iPhone.

What does the Apple Watch app do?

It lets you review the cards that are due on your iPhone. Open PhysicsRecall on your iPhone to send due cards to the watch. You can then flip and rate them on your wrist, even offline, and your ratings sync back to your iPhone.

Can I add my own cards?

Yes. Create your own decks and cards, or import them from a CSV file with front and back columns. You can export decks as CSV as well.

Do I need an AI key?

No. AI card generation is optional. If you want it, add your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key in Settings. When you tap Generate, the app drafts cards for that deck and you review them before they are added. The provider bills any API usage to your own account.

Does it work offline?

Yes. All 1,198 cards are stored on your device. You only need a connection to buy or restore a purchase and to use optional AI card generation with your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

How do I cancel?

On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose PhysicsRecall. On Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then Account Settings, and manage Subscriptions. Apple handles billing and cancellation.
