Hi there, I'm one of the 4 folks working on spicyelephant and in answer to your questions:
1. We would not like to limit people to purely textual content, as it stands now you are able to include images in both questions and answers. Further to that, it would be hard to rate a person's recall based purely on whether they got the answer right (e.g. it could have been a random guess)
2. Could you elaborate on where you were failing to see the answers, because answers should definitely appear when studying.
3. Definitely something we can address, thanks for raising it.
4. The real gist of the application isn't in the electronic representation of flash cards, but the algorithm behind it that keeps track of how well you're recalling the answers and then let's you know when the best time is to study again. This studying methodology is known as spaced repetition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition)
Again, thank you and everyone else who has taken the time to take a look and comment, your feedback and suggestions are all greatly appreciated.

It's not that I'm failing to see the answers, it's that I'd like somewhere to write my answer and then (even if it's not automatically scored) show me what I wrote and how it compares to the real answer. Otherwise, I'm not doing anything, I'm just passively clicking through cards. Same reason I write code instead of just reading language manuals. I used to do the latter, but it doesn't really teach well. Unless you're actively doing stuff and getting feedback on how you did, you're not really learning.
