Reps on iPhone carries your whole library, works with no connection at all, and shows the same due count as your iPad and your Mac. It is the device that turns dead time into review time.
Most people write their cards somewhere else. A Mac with a keyboard after a lecture, an iPad with a Pencil at a desk. The phone is where those cards get answered.
A queue for coffee, ten minutes before a seminar, a bus, a corridor between wards. None of those are long enough to start real work, and all of them are long enough to clear thirty cards. Over a term that is a large fraction of the reviewing you will do, and it is time that would otherwise be spent scrolling.
The home screen opens on cards due today across everything you are taking, with an estimate of how long it will take and a breakdown by class. The primary button starts a session in the class with the most due.
That matters more on a phone than anywhere else. If the app needs three taps and a decision before you can answer a card, the twenty minutes are gone. Deciding what to study is the step where a session most often dies, so the app makes that call for you.
Everything works offline, airplane mode included. Reviewing, writing cards, drawing, photos, the scheduler, the focus timer.
This is a property of how Reps is built rather than a feature that was added. Your cards live on the device and there is no server to check in with, so a basement, a train or a plane changes nothing. Anything you do offline syncs when the phone is next online.
The places students have twenty spare minutes are frequently the places with the worst signal. Hospital lower floors, library sub-levels, the underground.
Classes, subjects, cards, photos, drawings, schedules and deadlines all move between devices through your own iCloud account. Write a set of cards on a Mac in the evening and they are on the phone in the morning.
Study streaks and focus totals are the exception. Those are kept per device, so your phone counts its own.
Longer sessions, writing many cards at once, and drawing anything complicated are all easier on an iPad or a Mac. The same library holds all of it.
