** As featured in Apple’s ‘Apps for Everything’ Campaign **

In Macbeth, William Shakespeare’s tragedy about power, ambition, deceit, and murder, the Three Witches foretell Macbeth’s rise to King of Scotland but also prophesy that future kings will descend from Banquo, a fellow army captain. Prodded by his ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth, he murders King Duncan, becomes king, and sends mercenaries to kill Banquo and his sons. His attempts to defy the prophesy fail, however: Macduff kills Macbeth, and Banquo’s son Malcolm becomes king.

You can create flashcards either on your computer or directly on the iPhone.

This app provides a great way to study your flashcards (wherever they may come from) on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Creating cards on your computer is an easy process of making a two column list of questions and answers in a text editor or spreadsheet, copy/pasting your list into our web site, and then downloading it to your iPhone. You don’t even need to use our web site if you can host files on your own web server or use Mac web sharing.

“If there’s anything that will leave you scratching your head about this incredible app is why it isn’t more expensive… FlashCards Deluxe is truly an educational app worth obtaining. Nothing you want to learn right now? Download the app. It will make you want to learn something just by having it.” – theiphoneappreview.com 12/10/09
