Introduction
WordTheme is a free flashcard app on Android and iOS that allows you to import your own list of words. You can use it to load the iFixit Technical Glossary onto your phone so you can quickly look up technical terms while translating. This guide walks you through the steps of importing one of our glossary files into WordTheme.
This guide is for Android only, but we also have a guide for iPhone.
You can download WordTheme for Android here from Google Play Store.
