USA, Apr 4, 1999 -
Your
program is WONDERFUL. It is just what I have been looking for, and I feel very fortunate
to have come across it on an Internet search on "memory." Thanks to you and your
staff for all the hard work. I look forward to hearing about new developments with
SuperMemo
Marc R. [Mrstuik22@aol.com],
USA, Mar 18, 1999 - SuperMemo
has been an absolute God-send. I can't tell you how much I utilize and rely on this
program. I can't begin to adequately express my gratitude. Thank you! [...] I
recommend this program to all my students. As a matter of fact I recommend this program to
anyone who will listen [...] I think this program is nothing short of miraculous and I am
eternally grateful

USA, May 13, 1997 - I
recently discovered your product, SuperMemo. What an incredible program! [...] I have found Super Memo to be
a quantum leap over other flashcard programs available
(and I have tried/bought a lot of them). I [...] applaud
you for creating a program which contributes so mightily
to the good of all of us
Clark Hamilton [chamilt@christcom.net], contractor at
Microsoft, USA, Jul 29, 1999 - I was learning most of the complex programming topics by reading and
committing information to memory using SuperMemo [...] Thanks for a great tool that has
served me well by greatly accelerating my career advancement
Jim Ivy [Jim_Ivy@Dell.com], USA, Nov 1, 1999 - I
really like the automatic cloze creation in your new version. It should save me a
significant amount of time [...] I keep telling everyone about SuperMemo - if I did not
own a computer, I would buy one just to use SuperMemo!! [...] Each day as soon as I boot
my system, SuperMemo is there to drill and refresh me on the things I need to know to grow
and progress in my job [...] SuperMemo is the most effective learning tool that I have
found [...] Thank you for the difference you have made
Mark Forster [MarkF1000@aol.com], UK, Apr 26, 1998 - Thanks for a
really great product... I love SuperMemo!
Nihat Ozer [Ozern@aol.com], USA, Mar 24, 1999 - Last year,
I used SuperMemo. previous version, I do not remember which one, God, it was excellent, I
memorized 100 words in just half an hour. It was such a cool thing. Congratulations for
developing such an "awesome" thing for us students
Sheila OShea,
SOS Tutoring Sheila OShea,
SOS Tutoring [YObuck285@aol.com], USA, Jul 15, 1999 - I
have a student who has working memory problems and related anxiety (these two have a
forward and backward cause and effect relationship). He has started using SuperMemo and
has become confident about his learning for the first time... It was exciting for me to
see him conquer his fears! Thanks for that!!
Sean Mcaree [K966513@kingston.ac.uk], UK, Mar 19, 1999 - Thanks for the
excellent service you provide [...] I am spreading the word about SuperMemo 98 and my
friends are interested in its application as a study tool. [...] Many thanks again.
SuperMemo 98 is a winner!
KWOK SUI WO PAUL
[swtrade@ctimail.com], Hong Kong, China,
Mar 3, 1999 - After using the software a week, I like to show my deep appreciation on
its performance and especially, I can input Chinese character for my own database, that
means, Chinese people can use this software directly for practice. I believe, if this
software can be introducted into China, it would be a huge market!!! Keep me informed if
there is any further improvement
Grzegorz D., Poland, May 1, 1999 - SuperMemo is
the best software in the world!
SAID H. Y., Switzerland, Feb 18, 1999 - I
have been using SuperMemo for the last several months and really I have felt big
difference especially when it comes to self-confidence. Before the era of SuperMemo, I was
almost always afraid whether I will loose or forget my knowledge or not. Now it's over
Carl Johnson
[DZineBasic@aol.com], USA, Jul 5, 1999 -
I used SuperMemo during my C++ programming class at Front
Range Community College. Yes, I received an A in the class and consider
"SuperMemo" to be a valuable tool towards my degree in Computer Science
Ian Stewart Cairns [ian_stewart.cairns@virgin.net], Virgin Net, USA, May 18, 1999 -
You really are the most helpful people (it's a refreshing sight for a jaded cynic like
me)... I look forward to the next release of SM98 with relish. Keep up the excellent work!

was writing a program to do what SuperMemo does when I found it on the WEB. WOW Great
software
David K. H., Peking University, Beijing, China, Aug 9, 1999 - It
is absolutely fantastic to be able to have the computer keep track of what needs review
and what doesn't. I have tried regular flash-cards and have always met with less than
dazzling success
Arun S., USA,
May 15, 1999 - I was more than delighted to see a complete professional software in the
market and also which validated my guess that this is a revolutionary approach to
learning. Keep up the good work
Jerzy C., Wprost, Poland, Jul 25, 1999 - I
am a happy user of SuperMemo 8. This program is a revelation. I have used versions 7.0

Jiri, Czech Republic, Mar 13, 1999 - I
use SuperMemo everyday and must say that my knowledge of English has been substantially
improved thanks to the program. I don't want to make it sound bad but I do admit that the

for me 100%
