Mental Case is a flashcard application written for the Macintosh and iOS platforms.  You can freely download the Mental Case Classroom Edition for iOS at the iTunes App Store.

...

The Lesson is a collection of notes that are scheduled to be studied using a spaced-repetition algorithm.  When the Lesson feature is enabled on a Case, the notes in that case are automatically added to the Lesson.  You can enable the Lesson feature on any number of Cases at the same time and then use the Lesson as a cumulative review of everything you’ve studied up to that point.

Studying Notes Image Added

Tap the Study button at the lower right bottom center and then choose to study either the Lesson or a specific Case

of notes. 

You are presented with the prompt.  When you have an answer in mind, use your finger to swipe from right to the left on the screen, and then you will see the answer side of the note. 

Mental Class allows you to mark notes as Known or Unknown, which controls the frequency of the notes in the Lesson current lesson rotation.  Unknown notes are repeated more frequently until they are marked as known. 

...

Now you should see your new cases of flashcards below the default groups.

See this page for a listing of the flashcard sets that are available by language.
