Also, Is scheduling from Version One retained with import to Version 2?<div><p>The differences between free and 2.99 varieties are described on
the store page. Note that neither has wifi sync. Wifi sync is only
available in the old Mental Case app.</p>
<p>Free<br>
No syncing<br>
Only long-term schedule (spaced repetition)<br>
No sharing via iCloud<br>
No custom slideshows<br>
No access to FCE or Quizlet</p>
<p>Paid<br>
iCloud sync<br>
4 extra schedules, including a Leitner based one (cram)<br>
Sharing via iCloud with others<br>
Flashcard Exchange/Quizlet access</p>
<p>The scheduler in MC 2 is somewhat difference. We made every
effort to keep your schedule at a similar position, but there can
be some anomalies.<br>
Note you can install the new app, migrate your data, try it, and if
it is no good, just keep using the old app. Your old app will not
be removed, nor your data replaced. No risk.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

Also, Is scheduling from Version One retained with import to Version 2?<div><p>Thanks, this is helpful information. I take it by "no syncing"
in the Free app, that means that all the cards must be created
using the ipod or iPhone, or else create them with some other
program from which you can export a CSV file somewhere on the
device, then importing the CSV from that location on the device to
the Free app. I don't study at all using the mac, but do create
cards on it from time to time so that I have the ease of using a
real keyboard. I can't imaging creating them using the ipod touch
keyboard. And I can't see going through those steps of importing
the CSV file to add cards, so the $2.99 for the Pro will be well
worth it.</p>
<p>But it brings to mind a question about scheduling. If I upgrade
to Pro, which programs is determining the scheduling -- the mac or
my iPod?</p>
<p>I suppose I might create a single "Version 1" case under which I
place all my existing cases, and select that case when doing a sync
with the current app. Then place all my future cases under a
"Version 2" case that I can select with iCloud syncs, assuming it
still lets me choose the cases I am syncing. But I will try the
migration first.</p></div>zeppotag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/276286822013-07-04T19:55:57Z2013-07-04T19:55:57ZDifferences between free app and 2.99 app? Also, Is scheduling from Version One retained with import to Version 2?<div><p>When syncing with iCloud, both devices schedule, and they sync
up their due notes.</p>
<p>You can't select what to sync with iCloud, though you should
still be able to work with the version 1 notes over wifi, and just
ignore them on the iPhone in MC2.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

Also, Is scheduling from Version One retained with import to Version 2?<div><p>I always select "Study All Due Notes" when I study (and "Resume
Previous" until I finish that group of due notes).</p>
<p>If I were to go with a plan of a main case named "Version 1"
that in turn contains all the cases with old stacks , and another
main case named "Version 2" that contains all the new cases within
it, how do I ignore the notes due in Version 1 and study all those
in 2. Can I do this by selecting Version 2 and then choosing
"Lesson Notes Only" ? I've never used it, so I'm guessing (hoping)
that "Lesson Notes Only " means notes that are now scheduled as
"due."</p></div>zeppotag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/276286822013-07-05T07:01:23Z2013-07-05T07:01:23ZDifferences between free app and 2.99 app?

select the version 2 case as source, and switch on "Due Notes
Only".</p>

Also, Is scheduling from Version One retained with import to Version 2?<div><p>Well, I downloaded the Free app and clicked on the migrate
button. This actually took a few hours to complete (I have 5300
cards, no images or sound). When it finished the icon on the iPod
showed as if all the cards were due, which was disappointing. Until
I clicked on the icon and opened it, and then it updated to reflect
the same correct number of due cards as on the old app (just four).
So so far a success! :)</p>
<p>Now I will buy the $2.99 upgrade. The ipod scheduling in MC2 is
now equivalent to the desktop, correct?</p>
<p>So next I suppose I will cloud sync the desktop version first,
followed by cloud sync of the $2.99 upgrade app. From that point, I
may not have to cloud sync the desktop that often since I don't
study on it-- only when I've edited or created cards on the desktop
that I need to get transferred to the iPod.</p>
<p>Is it ok to sync to the cloud with an iPod using wifi, or do I
need to plug it in to my mac with USB and then sync?</p></div>zeppotag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/276286822013-07-06T07:03:12Z2013-07-06T07:03:12ZDifferences between free app and 2.99 app?

surprised. Guess you have a lot of text (?)</p>
<p>Anyway, the idea of iCloud sync is that you don't need to
connect your iPod to the computer. You can sync from anywhere over
a wifi or even mobile network. So, no, you certainly don't need to
use USB and plug it in. Freedom ;^)</p>
