It is in active development again, and there is a HUGE community of flash cards that you can download for your computer / iPod. Give it a try. (I don't have any association with them, other than being a happy customer.)

It uses spaced repetition to determine when notes get added to the lesson. Basically, the time intervals between studying a note get longer and longer. This is known to be a very efficient way to study. MC also has the possibility to mark notes as wrong in the slideshows,which causes them to appear more often to help you learn them better.

One good thing about Genius though, is that it has some kind of algorithm that repeats the cards at intervals that have been shown to best strengthen the synaptic connections that you are trying to form. Does this have anything like that? I use Genius a lot which is the same idea except that its pretty much just text.
