AnkiMobile Flashcards

Anki is probably the best program you can use for learning a language. I initially was hesitant to buy the app bc of the price, but it was definitely worth it to be able to study when I’m not at home, and after using the free desktop version for years it was nice to support the developers. My only issues with the app are I wish it would auto-sync when you open the app (and would be nice for it to auto-sync when you exit out of a deck), but remembering to click the sync button before and after every session isn’t a huge deal. I also wish you could change a deck’s settings from the app, but that’s also not a huge problem.

I will admit yes i am dumb probably very dumb, but all i wanted to do was make flashcards and you know thought this would be like quizlet just you pay for it once instead of paying for a subscription, which is one think i will say yes get it for the one time purchase, but also know what your doing when you get this app. I wanted to make flashcards and review them like regular flashcards. nothing more nothing less, just repeating the flashcards ovwr and over. until it said “Congratulations! You have finished this deck for now. If you wish to study outside of the regular schedule, you can use the ⁨custom study⁩ feature”. i didn’t know they give you a limit on you only being able to review in one day, and everytime i wanted to review them again it wouldn’t let me for some odd reason. yes i know you can make custom decks but i just wanted that one i didnt want to make more decks for no reason!! i tried googling it but the stupid ai bot wasnt any help since thats all you get now days is ai bots! but not only that this app has so many gadgets its so hard to find what you want to do with them!! half the time it doesnt even follow through with the command you wish the cards would follow. Im not sure but like i said im probably really dumb and should just stuck to regular flashcards because this app is nowhere near that!!!

Got the paid version for iPhone, and unfortunately every time I sync, it deletes the decks I created on my phone. It is not set to delete anything, only to sync. I’ve been making updates and want both laptop and phone versions of the deck to be correct, but at this pace I have to make a backup every time right before I sync because I expect it to delete all my stuff. Pain in the nose. Also, set to backup every 30 minutes but goes hours without backing up. And the count of my cards for the deck being created does not show correctly (still shows 14 when I have 30 already). Hoping the dev team works on these things for the paid version.

I'm more than happy to pay the sticker price to support Anki, which I've been using on desktop for over a decade at this point. However, the UI is in a very poor state and does not follow iOS developer guidelines. Since the app isn't open source, I am assuming this is a mobile wrapper built on the same Qt framework distributed on mac and windows. At a minimum, I am expecting a native Swift UI with left and right edge swipes working for a paid app. New users without the desktop experience might not be as forgiving. Consider opening the repo to contributions, as this iOS app has been left in such a state for years at this point.

I use this for Japanese with the kaishi 1.5k deck and for school with medical terminology and it is well worth the money. I was a little hesitant because I was worried I would lose the will to practice but it has since been a year of daily use and after only buying it for Japanese I am using it for school as well. Habits quickly form and now I feel weird if I don’t practice my decks daily lol. If you’re looking to study flashcards for help with literally any subject this is the best app I know of. Don’t forget to go to the Anki website and search the free community made decks. for anything you can think to learn, someone has probably already made a deck for it.

Anki is amazing. Premed student, and was not studying well with Quizlet. There was to many distractions and using the flashcards was annoying. Tried out Anki web and found it to be perfect. No ads, simple interface with a lot of extensions, and it was easy to make flashcards!! I now watch lectures and make flashcards while watching the lectures. I really love how un-distracting it is. I normally don’t buy apps, but I decided to buy this one. Worth every penny! I study everywhere now with the mobile app. It’s just as distraction free and easy to use. 100% recommend, especially if in higher education!! Thank you Anki team!!
