I was hoping I could open the app when something comes up that I want to remember and take a photo and make it a flash card. it seems to have the ability to sync to the microphone but can’t see anything for camera??? Thanks for your help

To add photos to cards, tap a field in the editor, then tap on the paperclip and choose “from camera”.
