Why It's Different

Built to make the material
actually stick.

Most CompTIA study apps just throw cards at you in the same order every time. CertFlash uses spaced repetition — the SM-2 algorithm — so the cards you find hard come back sooner and the ones you've mastered come back later. You spend your time where it counts.

The cards go beyond definitions. Scenario-based and performance-style questions mirror the way the real exams test you, so you're not just memorizing terms — you're practicing how to apply them under exam conditions.

Built natively with SwiftUI. Works fully offline once downloaded, syncs your favorites across devices with iCloud, and supports dark mode out of the box.

Features

Everything you need to study.
Nothing you don't.

🔁
Spaced repetition

The SM-2 algorithm schedules every card based on how well you know it. Rate each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy and CertFlash decides when you'll see it next — so weak cards resurface and strong ones space out.

Quick Quiz mode

Test yourself with a random set of 10, 20, or 50 questions, separate from your spaced-repetition schedule. Perfect for a fast knowledge check before exam day without affecting your review queue.

📊
Progress tracking

See your progress per deck and a Due for Review count that tells you exactly what's ready to study today. Always know where you stand and what to tackle next.

🔥
Study streaks

Build a daily study habit with streak tracking and milestone celebrations. Daily reminder notifications keep you coming back, and a burst of confetti marks every completed session.

Favorites & search

Bookmark tricky cards and search across all 750+ at once. Your favorites sync across devices via iCloud, so the cards you flag on your iPhone are waiting on your iPad.

📱
Offline & built for iOS

Built natively with SwiftUI. Swipe to move through cards, study fully offline after download, and switch to dark mode for late-night review sessions.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. The full CompTIA A+ deck — all 150 cards — is completely free with no account required. You get spaced repetition, quizzes, search, and progress tracking on the free deck before deciding whether to unlock Pro.

What does CertFlash Pro include?

A one-time $3.99 purchase unlocks the Network+, Security+, CySA+, and Linux+ decks — 750+ cards in total. There's no subscription, and any future decks are included at no extra cost.

How does spaced repetition work?

CertFlash uses the SM-2 algorithm. After each card you rate it Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the app schedules when you'll see it next. Cards you struggle with come back sooner; mastered cards space out over time.

Are the questions like the real exam?

Every deck includes scenario-based and performance-style questions designed to mirror how the actual CompTIA exams test you — so you practice applying concepts, not just recalling definitions.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once a deck is downloaded, CertFlash works fully offline — study on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere without a connection. Your favorites sync across devices via iCloud when you're back online.

What if I switch phones?

Tap "Restore Purchase" on the new device and your Pro unlock follows your Apple ID. Favorites synced through iCloud are available on any device signed into the same account.
