BioRecall is built for AP Biology, introductory college biology, MCAT biology review and pre-med students. It covers Cell Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Ecology, Human Anatomy, Immunology, Molecular Biology and Neurobiology, among 24 decks in total. AP® is a trademark registered by the College Board; MCAT® is a registered trademark of the Association of American Medical Colleges. These organizations are not affiliated with, and do not endorse, BioRecall.

Does my progress sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac?

No. One purchase unlocks BioRecall on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple Account, but study progress is stored separately on each device. The Apple Watch app is the exception: reviews you do on the watch are sent back to your iPhone.

What does the Apple Watch app do?

It lets you review the cards that are due on your iPhone. Open BioRecall on your iPhone to send due cards to the watch. You can then flip and rate them on your wrist, even offline, and your ratings sync back to your iPhone.

Can I add my own cards?

Yes. Create your own decks and cards, or import them from a CSV file with front and back columns. You can export decks as CSV as well.

Do I need an AI key?

No. AI card generation is optional. If you want it, add your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key in Settings. When you tap Generate, the app drafts cards for that deck and you review them before they are added. The provider bills any API usage to your own account.

Does it work offline?

Yes. All 1,220 cards are stored on your device. You only need a connection to buy or restore a purchase and to use optional AI card generation with your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.

How do I cancel?

On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose BioRecall. On Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then Account Settings, and manage Subscriptions. Apple handles billing and cancellation.
