Two people. One app. Built because Anna needed it.
Anna was studying for the MCAT while working full-time as a CT/Nuclear Medicine Technologist. She jokingly asked her husband Nicho if he could either do the dishes or build an app that auto-generates flashcards from her Google Docs.
24 hours later, BetterCram was live. With way more features than either of them expected.
We're not a company with funding or a team of 50. Just two people who saw a gap between "memorize this" and "actually understand it," and decided to build something better. The more people who use it, the better it gets. Community decks grow, audio caches speed up, and every piece of feedback shapes what comes next.
