How do I know if my phone can run StudyCell?

To run StudyCell, you need a Java-enabled phone. Most phone models on the market now are Java-enabled. If you have an older phone you want to check, your wireless provider or cell phone manufacturer should have a list on their Web site of Java-enabled phones. If your phone is not Java-enabled, you can contact your wireless carrier to upgrade.

Why are some cards hidden?

StudyCell is designed to be adaptive. In multiple choice mode, it automatically "hides" the cards you answer correctly; this enables you to focus on learning what you don't know. When you get almost all the cards correct, the deck is reset and the next time you open it, all the cards will be displayed. Flip card mode works in the same fashion, but you have to tell the application that you are "done" with the card by selecting "yes" to the question "Are you done with this card for now?".
