Using Pleco flashcards to "review only" i.e. not to test

Is there a way to flick through a list of words manually without having to "mark correct" or "mark incorrect"?
I really just want to be able to create a list of vocabulary words and then flick back and forth through them. Just like the way you flick through a photo album in a smartphone's photos app. Not being tested on them, which is the way that the flashcard system appears to me to work. (I understand the educational value in the current system - it's just not exactly what I'm looking for.)

Ideally you'd be able to swipe left/right to go to the previous/next card and also to tap the screen to reveal more information about the card. For example, you'd swipe left or right to go to the previous/next character and tap on the screen to reveal the character's pinyin/English definition/etc.

Can Pleco do this or is there no option to just "review" your flashcards, and only an option to study/test your flashcards?

Set your test type to "review only" and it'll let you advance through the cards without marking them correct or incorrect. No swiping yet, though - going back takes two taps instead of one - and if you want to see more information that would likewise take 2-3 taps.

Before I saw this reply I had fiddled with the font size and found how to increase the list headword size so that it takes up a significant proportion of the screen in the "organise cards" section, which is more or less what I was after anyway. (It does then also increase the headword size in the dictionary lists, which isn't as convenient, but more than acceptable.)

I can't see where to change the test type to "review only" - perhaps that is in the paid version whereas I am currently only experimenting with the free version? Have only just started learning about the features but really like the product so far and expect to be jumping up to the paid version. Thanks for the helpful reply and for building a great app!
