Description

AnkiMobile is a mobile companion to Anki, a powerful, intelligent flashcard program that is free, multi-platform, and open-source. Sales of this app support the development of both the computer and mobile version, which is why the app is priced as a computer application. AnkiMobile was written by the lead developer of Anki and AnkiWeb, and it has been around since 2010. Beware other apps using "Anki" in their name that have sprung up recently - they are not compatible with the rest of the Anki ecosystem, and they offer far fewer features. Some of AnkiMobile's features include: - A free cloud synchronization service that lets you keep your card content synchronized across multiple mobile and computer devices. This makes it easy to add content on a computer and then study it on your mobile, easily keep your study progress current between an iPhone and iPad, and so on. - The same proven scheduling algorithm that the computer version of Anki uses, which reminds you of material as you're about to forget it. - A flexible interface designed for smooth and efficient study. You can set up AnkiMobile to perform different actions when you tap or swipe on various parts of the screen, and control which actions appear on the tool buttons. - Comprehensive graphs and statistics about your studies. - Support for large card decks - even 100,000+ cards. - If your cards use images or audio clips, the media is stored on your device, so you can study without an internet connection. - A powerful search facility that allows you to find cards that match criteria such as 'tagged high priority, answered in the last ten days and not containing the following words', and automatically place them into a deck to study. - Support for displaying mathematical equations with MathJax, and rendering LaTeX created with the computer version. - Support for adding images drawn with the Apple Pencil to your cards. Please note that AnkiMobile is currently intended as a companion to the computer version of Anki, rather than a complete replacement for it. While AnkiMobile is able to display and schedule your cards in the same way the computer version does, certain changes like modifying note types need to be done with the computer software. Add-ons are not supported, so while you can study image occlusion cards created with the computer version, they can not be created within AnkiMobile. For this reason, please start with the computer version of Anki before you think about buying this app. The cloud synchronization service is optional, and data can also be imported/exported from the app via a USB cable or AirDrop. Like all apps, AnkiMobile can be purchased once and then used on multiple devices in a household using the same Apple ID. Family sharing is also supported (apart from in India). For information on bulk discounts for educational institutions, please see Apple's Volume Purchase Program. For more information on AnkiMobile, including a link to the online manual, please have a look at the support page: https://docs.ankimobile.net/support.html. If you have any questions or want to report an issue, please let us know on our support site and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Poor reliability but otherwise great!
yysh12 on 2023-03-26
This app is really well done and nicely written. I don't understand why or how Apple promotes the knockoff apps over this one. Truly an injustice to this app. This is the original Anki creator himself after all! Totally a fantastic app and I actually preferring studying on mobile than on desktop. That is how much better the mobile app is over even desktop anki. The only reason I knocked off two stars is because during the period right before the single biggest and most important exam I could take in my life, the creator pushed an update that was poorly tested and all my flash cards became completely useless until he was able to patch the bug. The fact that I could not use my main study tool prior to such an important exam left me with a little bit of a resentment that such an error was allowed to go out! I can understand minor bugs or some functionality lost, but when the entire app becomes unusable for weeks right when I need it most, that just makes me lose trust in the reliability of the app. I do not understand why the app was not just rolled back if the bug was that big? Really unfortunate. But then again I guess this is a single guy writing this app so it is a common problem with many other indie apps where one man can only support so much. So just be warned that reliability may be a bit problematic.
Clunky, Bad Interface
DonkeyEntertain on 2023-03-26
Everything about this app is clunky and difficult to use. It’s really disappointing. You can’t browse and download decks in the app, you have to go to Safari and download them, and load them in the app. Once you download them, it is difficult to actually use (especially as someone unfamiliar with Anki). There are a million options, yet things which should be easy (only selecting a few cards to focus on) are seemingly not possible or have a complicated process to get there. It’s not easy to tell the app whether you remembered or didn’t remember a card, and the app doesn’t give you good visual feedback if you swiped it correctly. There is no easy way to make sure the deck order is randomized, or tell it how many new cards to give you a day, or reset the number of cards that day. There are bugs, for example if you browse the cards the keyboard obscures a number of rows in the bottom. And this is not some free app, it is one of the most expensive apps on the store!! I’d be happy to pay, and I really want this app to be good, but it’s not. Maybe I’m just a beginner but it shouldn’t take an hour to figure out how to get started with something as simple as flash cards.
It’s 2023: Integrate Anki into Apple Watch
AlexiusDante on 2023-03-26
I can’t think of a better device I’d love to use Anki on than the Apple Watch. Especially the larger screen size ones available in 2023. When I'm at work or on the go I can’t pull my phone out just to look at a flash cards but I already glance at and fidget with my watch 1000 times a day. I was told Anki would need a lot of engineering to work on Apple Watch but all we really need on the watch is a very minimalist way to view cards. Obviously we don’t need to edit anything on the watch. How can we not get a stripped down version for quick viewing on Apple Watch. Please. Take my money. If you need an investor I’m willing to bank on it. Call me. Otherwise the mobile app is decent. When I accidentally click on the screen after revealing the answer it progresses to the next flash card without a way to go back. I hadn’t finished reading/processing the last slide but now I have to move on. No clue how to go back.
WAY over complicated
jemmyjoe on 2023-03-26
I’m just trying to learn Spanish here, not how to program an app’s settings. I just want a flash card app that can show cards in random order and show the card from either side. I’ve spent more time looking through tutorials, message boards and the subreddit for this app than I have spent studying Spanish. I’m not too mad, because ever flash card app seems not up to to this apparently monumental task. I though I could throw money at the problem and buy this spendy app, but no. I am sure this is a powerful app. I see the enthusiasm the community has for it. There is something here. But it is *not* easy to use. Not user friendly. Not help from the app. No tutorial. Not intuitive to use.
Used this app since 2010. Worth every $$$
Bread Pirate on 2023-03-26
I used this app in 2010 to learn German, then in 2012 to learn Spanish. I used it in my undergrad 2016-2020. Now I’m using it while getting my PhD. I’ve paid for this app maybe 2-3 times in the last decade+, and it’s worth every dollar. This is the closest thing you can get to downloading information into your brain like Trinity learning to fly a helicopter in The Matrix. I’m so impressed by the developers that work on this app for iOS and desktop. Thanks for providing one of the best apps I’ve ever used.
Buggy with videos
Spidey333333 on 2023-03-26
With videos there is a large pause button in the middle which is very distracting. Please fix.
