Whenever you come across information you want to remember, just type it into Gizmo. Gizmo will turn the information into quizzes. Come back to Gizmo whenever you have a few minutes to complete your quizzes. By answering the quizzes the information gets reinforced so that you'll remember it over the long term.
Yes - you can create unlimited cards and decks, and do unlimited quizzing for free.
If you lose 15 lives while quizzing though then you have to wait for 10 minutes before you can quiz again - to avoid waiting you can pay a subscription fee but it is not required if you are happy waiting.
Gizmo selects the words that it will quiz you on and highlights them in green. For example, if your card looks like this "The capital of Peru is Lima" then you'll get questions like this "The capital of Peru is _".
To change the words Gizmo has selected just click on them on the Add or Decks page, or use the dropdown menu on the Quiz page.
Gizmo uses machine learning to suggest extra questions. These help you remember more efficiently by testing your knowledge in different ways.
If you want to be quizzed on an extra question, just click the thumbs up. If you don't want to be quizzed on an extra question, just ignore it or press thumbs down, then it won't appear in any quizzes.
