Mental Case has two ways of scheduling: if you own the Mac app, the
Mac does the scheduling, and just sends due notes over at sync
time.<br>
If you don't use the Mac app, the iPhone will use its own simpler
scheme.<br>
If you plan to sync with the Mac, it is better to sync before
studying notes, so that the Mac knows about the downloaded notes
and can schedule them.<br>
We are planning to try to make the two apps true peers for
scheduling, but we aren't there yet I'm afraid.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

to studying on my iphone, right?. I study primarily with my iPhone
then sync with the mac, FYI.<br>
To confirm, choosing "Study All Due Notes" on the iphone is
appropriate?<br>
And will doing so slowly introduce notes from the lesson, or will
it pull from all notes with the same due date?<br>
Thanks<br>

currently due, which is a lot.<br>
You can control this by setting the lesson schedule of some cases
on the Mac to None.<br>
Or you can do what you were doing: choose a case and only study
lesson notes in that case.<br>
If you do this, make sure the case you choose is synced with the
Mac, so it is scheduled properly.</p>

should first sync it with the Mac each time. By saying future
releases will make your iphone and mac apps 'sync peers', you mean
to say it will be acceptable to study from my iphone several times
prior to syncing to Mac, right? Maybe it will be later than 2.0
before this functionality is in place?<br>
Thanks for your help Drew<br>

while.<br>
Will be 2.0, but will require an update to iOS apps as well.</p>

treasure hunt to try to figure out the syncing process.</p>
<p>Some suggestions to the Mental Case Faculty Support and
Webmaster:</p>
<p>** Please give us simple visual directions on how to do this --
with step by step Screen Capture. This would've simplified the
process for me.</p>
<p>** There is no How-To-Use this software manual or instructions.
So give us something so that we can learn us to use your app.</p>
<p>Visual Screen Captures with some instructions arre the best.
After all, this app is for flashcards, right?</p>
<p>Thank-you!</p></div>TD Leetag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/69513762012-05-25T08:16:28Z2012-05-25T08:16:28ZSyncing lesson between iphone/mac<div><p>There are quite detailed instructions in our help manual on the
Mac.<br>
In any case, we will be moving to iCloud syncing in the not too
distant future.<br>
