You can then play them back in ways one has not though of before. Turn on 'Touchpad' mode to swipe left and right between questions, then swipe up to play the question, and swipe down to play the question! Turn on 'Shake' mode to shake between questions and answers. Shake once to place the question, then shake again to play the answers! Then it automatically moves to the next question with the next shake! Set 'Autoplay' mode and select your interval of 1, 5, or 10 seconds.
