Where Did Quizlet Go?
Quizlet decided to pull public API access to their database. In other words, third party apps (like StickyStudy) have been asked to remove Quizlet functionality as of May 2017 :(

How do I delete decks on the iPad?
Go to the
deck chooser and swipe your finger from right to left over the deck name.
-
Badge not showing on the app icon!
If you have set the badge to show study progress, etc, in the app settings and it still doesn’t show it could either be due to having a study progress of 0% or that notifications have been disabled on your device. You can re-enable notifications in your device’s settings: settings -> notifications -> StickyStudy -> ‘Allow notifications’.

Sound? Images?
\Pictures can be added to stickies from the camera roll or by using the camera. Touching any word will produce, depending on the language, a high quality synthesised rendition of the word using the libraries built into iOS7+ on your device.
-
Wrong audio language!
StickyStudy guesses the language by 'averaging' all the words in the deck and calculating the most likely language. This means that small decks (less than 10 stickies) with limited data may not give correct results. To improve accuracy, just add more stickies.

How do I copy multiple stickies?
To copy a range of stickies that are next to each other in list view, go to 'Options' and select 'Copy'. You’ll be asked to select a start and end point of the range you’d like to copy.
To copy a group of stickies that are not consecutive, first flag all the stickies that you’d like to copy. Once done, go to 'Options' (in list view) and set 'Sort' to 'Flag'. This will put all the flagged stickies to the top of the list, consecutively. Go to 'Options' again and select 'Copy' to select these flagged stickies.

Can I break a deck into chunks to make things easier?
The study algorithm will progressively work it's way through the deck. The more you answer correctly, the more it will move forward but if you're finding things difficult, the app will stop introducing new stickies and instead spend time on the problem stickies by continually looping through them until you make some progress. So, while the deck cannot be broken up into bite size chunks by the user (for example if you'd like to study x number of stickies everyday) you can rely on the algorithm to wisely progress through the deck for you.

What makes StickyStudy different to other SRS apps?
I'm a study junkie. Over the years I've tried, enjoyed and achieved varying success using most of the big name flashcard apps out there but there was always one negative that would eventually drive me to create my own solution: they didn't have a goal I could set in the future that I could work towards. I needed this goal so I would know when to move on to the next stage, whatever I decided that may be. Closure, if you like.
SRS is based on the premise of an indefinite 'learn and review' cycle (and very effective it is, too). You keep going until you feel you've got the content mastered. But, there are times where it can be more efficient to just stop and shift your study focus onto material that uses this vocabulary in context to solidify the 1st stage of learning instead of the continued reviewing.
For me, this endless reviewing weakened my motivation and, more worryingly, became an unnecessary, daily burden that was (ironically) slowing down my overall progress. Having a goal not only pushed me to study harder but gave me a sense of achievement while at the same time maintaining the confidence that I was using an established and well proven study algorithm.
I also wanted an invisible app that allowed me to just press a button called 'Start' and my learning would begin without fiddling with settings and learning how the app works. The only thing I wanted to learn was what I wanted to learn.
