How do I request a new feature?

We are so glad you asked and that our awesome community is so great about letting us know how we can improve.

How to find Brainscape's feature request forum:

The easiest way to suggest a new feature is to click on this link.  From this screen you can Sign In with Brainscape  and be able search for features that are important to you, and once you find them you can vote or add a comment.  Alternatively, we will soon be adding a link in the menu in the Brainscape web and mobile app that will allow you to connect directly to this feature requests forum.

Voting for a feature:

When you land on this page, you will be brought to the Feature Requests tab where you can search for the feature(s) you want most!  If you see the feature when you search for it, then you may add your vote for that feature(s), or add a comment about how you'd like the feature to work.  If you don't see your feature when you search, then you can add a New Post and suggest a new feature.   Add details and requirements about how you'd use this feature as well.  A member of our team will review these and you'll receive updates about the features you care about most.

Feature request screen

The default view allows you to see features with the most votes, however you can edit the filter criteria if you preview a different view.  You can search by the feature last posted, or also by the Roadmap stages of specific requested features.
