Yeah as someone working on educational software, anything hand-rolling their own SRS is a pretty big red flag. Beating FSRS is going to be next to impossible, especially FSRS with parameters optimized from your users’ review history.

The app is using the same Anki FSRS algo its open source https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki

Agreed would be swimming against the tide rolling a custom one. Anki's is awesome! This app functions much the same just makes card generation MUCH faster than Anki.

FSRS is so cargo-culted. It's just an algorithm, claiming that any algorithm can't be improved is ridiculous.
Actually, we have found some algorithms which outperform FSRS[1]. Unfortunately, it's hard to deploy them in user's local device.
