Anki
Hands down the best flashcards program, based on the spaced repetition alghorithm (which effectiveness is scientifically proven). It has all the options the other programs have (Quizlet, Memrise etc.) and more + hundreds of plugins. It may be quite difficult at the beginning though, so better find some guide (I've written one but it's in Polish). I could write an entire serenade here, just go check it out.
