Original release notes
NEW: build a deck with AI Paste your lecture notes, snap a photo of a textbook page, or drop in a PDF — ZapCards reads it and writes the question-and-answer cards for you. Cards appear one by one as they're written, so you can delete the ones you don't want and edit anything before you save. Your first 5 generations are free; ZapCards Pro removes the limit. Also in this update: • Rebuilt iCloud sync — your cards now merge reliably across iPhone and iPad, with a clean migration for decks you made in older versions • Images in your cards sync too, and survive a reinstall • Fixed the welcome deck occasionally seeding with the wrong number of cards on first launch • Fixed getting stuck after declining camera or photo access — you can grant it and carry on • Fixed a long button label wrapping mid-word when selecting cards Thanks for studying with ZapCards.
