Duolingo is best known for its science-based education platform used by more than 200 million users worldwide. Tinycards is a study aid designed for both K–12 and college students, which employs a spaced repetition technique and adapts to the individual user. Anyone can create their own flashcards on a topic that they are studying, or search through more than 220,000 existing decks by subject.

In December, Apple named Tinycards as one of its top 10 best iOS apps of 2016. Building off the success, Duolingo launched a web version earlier this year.

The app is now available in the Google Play Store for free.
