What AR Flashcards is
AR Flashcards is an iOS learning app that uses augmented reality to make flashcards interactive for young learners, including toddlers and preschoolers. Its subjects and earlier apps are combined in one app, with a main menu for choosing a subject. The Alphabet module has 26 animal models that say a letter and animal name when tapped. Create mode lets educators and learners make flashcards or drawings to augment with animal models, while ground plane mode places life-sized animals on the floor for viewing and posing. The Space module covers eight planets and two dwarf planets with audio and text facts. Apollo 11 cards let learners control a lunar lander and dock it with the command module. Addition provides 100 equation cards with animal visuals and answer checking, and AR Portals offers nine narrated virtual trips to real-world locations associated with Abraham Lincoln’s youth. The free plan includes selected cards and models; paid subscriptions give access to all content and priority support. The app requires a camera and printable markers. Subscriptions are managed through an Apple App Store account, and user-created content and transfers remain on the device.
