Spaced repetition is a game-changer but right now it's not really adopted outside of say Duolingo and Quizlet.
I think the reason why is that integrating spaced-repetition into your workflow is painful.
If you use Evernote or Onenote and Kindle or maybe something like Anki then you're constantly switching back and forth.
Polar changes this by making a fully integrated reading, annotation, note and spaced repetition platform.
You can read a PDF, highlight an important piece of text, convert it to a flashcard, then sync it to Anki directly - all without ever leaving Polar.
Further, we also have our own spaced repetition algorithm if you just want to use Polar directly. If you're not an Anki user this might be easier since Anki can be difficult for some people to configure.
We're REALLY close to 2.0 and have some important features including EPUB, annotations for tags and a web-based annotation system so that you can highlight and create flashcards directly in the browser.
We also support a really cool feature called incremental reading which allows you to easily suspend/resume your reading to resume where you left off. All your highlights can also be reviewed by spaced repetition algorithms so you can re-read core parts of your document repository.
