I am not running the most recent FW version, but still am on 4.6.9995. However, I would think that the concerned part will not have changed to the worse.

Yes there is a flash card style. See the attached image.

Only those words are considered that you have explicitly added to the "my words" list.

You might be happy with the flash card thing, if you only have word entries of one language. The problem is that you cannot restrict the words you want to review by language (Actually you cannot restrict them at all. You can only choose between "sort: recently added" and "sort: A-Z".). And you have to specify from which dictionary you want to see the definitions. So say you see an English word and you select the English dictionary. Next you are shown a French word, but the application tries to find it in the English dictionary.

Another shortcoming is that you can only add words to the list, when they are shown by the pop-up dictionary window. If you select a word manually form the dictionary, you cannot add it to the list.
