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, despite charging expensive subscriptions.

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 SM2 and FSRS scheduling algorithms that the computer version of Anki uses, which remind 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.

AnkiMobile Flashcards App Comments & Reviews

AnkiMobile Flashcards Positive Reviews

Original creator; A little buggy on iOSGlad to see the iOS version of this original desktop program be so similar in features available to the user. The price looks daunting, but it’s worth the same as 2 months of a Quizlet Plus membership and has quadruple the features. No ads, no monthly payment, and a free desktop/web version with account syncing. Due to the nature of having such a small development team, this app does present with a lot more bugs than someone might be used to. Unfortunately the first deck I created was deleted to some error while synchronizing. Luckily it was only about 25 cards. The app does provide a Backup feature, but unfortunately there was no automatic backup created after finishing my deck. I’m glad to see that the app receives regular updates, and is still getting love from it’s original creator. I would love to see an easier way to report bugs through the app, without having to create an account on some random forum online. The app can be buggy, but it redeems itself with features that are better than Quizlet or any other program I have used in the past, and it definitely beats writing by hand. Looking forward to using this app for my future schooling..Version: 2.0.85

The original and the bestThe original active recall testing via spaced repetition app. Copied but never duplicated. Originally for PCs only, and always completely free, the developer made this version for iOS for which I will gladly pay to support his efforts. Stay away from the ripoff artists who use the anki name to try to get your money. I like the interface, it’s a “get down to business” interface, with a learning curve. In my experience, those are many times the most useful software. Some other guy left a star off because the icon looked dated and it doesn’t fit with his other icons. I mean, freakin really?!?! Too many developers spend too much time on a slick interface and end up with sloppy functionality. This software works if you use it. Yes, you will need to read the manual. You may need to learn some Latex. It’s not hard, once you get going. I’m fairly proficient with this software and try to use it daily. As a result, I can give you a 50 word definition of a Poisson Distribution off the top of my head. I never forget birthdays or anniversaries. Plus the looks when you can spout off dictionary definitions of random words (the other day at work I gave definitions of heuristic and algorithm). He looks are priceless. Support the original who for years did this for free. This is the flash card app for you..Version: 2.0.59

Poor reliability but otherwise great!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..Version: 2.0.90

Best flash card appI use Anki on my tablet, computer, and IPhone. At first I thought that the interface looked outdated, to my surprise this is the best flash card maker out there. I like the fact that you can flip the flash card and still have the ability to type in the answer (in my case I use text to speech) while the words are on the screen and mark it so it goes back in the deck. I wish that it was easier to flip the definition to the front of the card. I also wish that adding audio to the back of the card would play once the card was flipped and the answer was revealed. I enjoy using this app on my PC and being able to add pictures by copying from the search engine images and pasting directly to the card, no longer do I have to save the images to a folder and then upload them to the card. This saves me a ton of time, especially with the sync option on the separate devices. I’ve used study blue and quizlet for years. This app pretty much blows them out of the water. No more ads! Thanks Anki..Version: 2.0.44

Syncing issuesI have only had the app for about a week but I do not think it’s worth $25. I like the convenience of having it on my phone and not needing to bring my computer with me everywhere. However, I still use the free version on my laptop anytime I’m studying at home. So going back and forth between the two versions of the app means I have to sync them each time I switch between the two and unfortunately it is much harder than it should be. There is a synchronize button on both versions but this has yet to work for me a single time. I have to have both versions open and in front of me, restart them multiple times, and go into settings to force a one way download each time I want to switch between devices and even with this I sometimes have to do it multiple times before they actually sync with each other. This has become a big annoyance and makes it impossible to be able to study on my phone at any time if I haven’t synced it since I last used my laptop lessening the convenience of having the app on my phone which is the only reason I was willing to pay so much for an app I’d been using for free for so long in the first place..Version: 25.09

Despite my hesitation worth the priceAlong with paid tutoring and free online resources I am using Anki to help learn Chinese. I have been using the desktop application since I started; about 9 months now. I have resisted purchasing the app for the longest time now due to the daunting price tag. However, lately I find myself more mobile with less time to sit down and dedicate a solid chunk of time to studying. So I finally took the plunge and made the purchase. I have only been using it for a few days so far but already I think it was a good purchase. First of all, I have relied heavily on the desktop application for a long time now and I don’t mind supporting the developers. Beyond that though, I think it is actually a good app. I have had no issues with synchronization, which is important to me because I still create cards on my computer. And syncing study progress from the phone to the computer has been fine as well. It ported my css layout and audio media files as well which was important. I haven’t experimented with all of the features yet but I saw they built in a scratchpad feature to let you practice your writing. I think that will be useful when I want to practice my writing (I need to get a stylus first). Overall I am satisfied with the app. Again, I do think the price seems a bit high, but it depends what you’re using this for whether the price justifies it. To me, I think this app has and will continue to speed up and strengthen my language learning and that makes it worth it..Version: 2.0.87

Haptics and audiovisual feedback neededI’m very happy to have transitioned to Anki from Quizlet. There was definitely a learning curve but it was worth it in the end. The only thing I truly miss from Quizlet is the haptic and audiovisual feedback. Probably the only reason I stuck with Quizlet for as long as I did were those features. As silly as it may sound, those features had an outsized impact on my motivation to keep doing cards during a session. It may only be me, but something about the haptic feedback for a successful Apple Pay transaction makes it oddly satisfying to part ways with my money. A haptic function would have the same effect for the Anki iOS app. I love everything about Anki but this feature is sorely needed to make the learning feel more immersive..Version: 23.12.1

No other way to memorizeI've never written an app review before, but this app has changed my life so much that I feel compelled to write one. I'm a medical student studying for board exams, and Anki has completely changed the way I approach rote memorization of facts. It can be used to memorize anything by repeating flash cards At THE RIGHT TIME so that it doesn't fade from your memory. Apart from the automatic delivery, the other advantage over physical flash cards is that the app supports not only text, but also audio (if you want to remember the pronunciation of a drug or microorganism or anything else), photos (especially helpful for anatomy or other flowcharts and tables), and videos within the flash card. To get started, I'd suggest using the desktop app first since it's always easier to navigate in a bigger screen. It takes some time to learn how to navigate the app and to learn all the different settings and features, but once you do it's brilliant. The iOS app is ALMOST just as powerful as the desktop app. However, as of December 2018, the iOS app doesn't have the ability to flag or view flagged flash cards (available on the 2.1 release of the desktop app and incredibly useful to help find and organize cards as you review them). That's a minor complaint though and I hope it gets written into the mobile app as well. Overall though, this is definitely the best way to memorize information in the 21st century. Two thumbs up!.Version: 2.0.44

Incredibly powerfulThis app has helped me master over a 1,000 words in Ancient Greek and over 1,500 of German and counting. It’s not flashy and has a learning curve up front, but incredibly powerful. The problem with physical flashcards is they’re time consuming to make, complicated to keep track of, and cumbersome to carry. This solves all of of those. Every word I look up while reading I screenshot. Later I put all the screenshots into a specific album where a Siri Shortcut converts them to JPEG, crops them, and reduces their size. I then enter each photo into Anki, reviewing them as I go. With this process, I can make 50 flashcards in 10 minutes. Then each one is shown to you exactly when you need it, and is always in my pocket to review anywhere. There is not a word I look up that is not memorized now. In a year, I have made 3,500 flashcards in 5 different languages. I review 200 a day. If you invest some time to figure out how to use this app, it will change your intellectual life..Version: 2.0.43

5 stars; but there is always room for improvement.The app is fantastic if you use anki to study. My application is mainly for USMLE Step 1, but any subject where you can utilize a notecard methodology will become exponentially more efficient and easier in the long-run. If you’re looking for material on Anki itself there are a ton of resources online (Reddit being a huge source for many). The desktop application is still essential to a successful study experience unfortunately. But, as for the iOS application itself, here are the areas where it can improve: 1) Incorporating more of the highly used / loved add-on’s such as: a) Right hand reviews b) Heat Map - Glutamate c) Popup Dictionary - Glutamate d) Amboss Add-on (Amboss can link to their own app?) e) TTS capability f) Table Editor g) Postpone Reviews h) Load Balancer i) Hierarchal Tags 2) The browser is a great tool and has been improving with each major update. It still needs a bit more work to become really useful for users on-the-go. 3) Application Icon can use a refreshed design. 4) Overall user experience can use a refresh with a cleaner look. This application still deserves 5 stars, despite the “issues” I listed above. The application still preforms wonderfully, and if you’re aware of the app’s shortcomings; you can adjust your study methodology to successfully utilize the app to it’s fullest potential. These changes would help users move to a more “mobile” focused anki experience, rather than a desktop focused one..Version: 2.0.55

A great tool. Worth learning to use.Been using Anki desktop and AnkiWeb on mobile, so I was already sold on what Anki offered before purchasing this. This app really is what you make of it. There are plenty of good decks out there, but you’ll likely get a better experience if you take the time to customize your cards and learn a bit of HTML/CSS. I had been using the web interface before on mobile, and it while it technically works, you have more control over the experience with the app, a better use of screen space, and the option to remove everything from the screen that isn’t your flashcard. This is a great tool and definitely worth the purchase. In my first review, I had a complaint about the implementation of audio buttons in the mobile app. The dev responded to this review with what I needed for the CSS styling and added it to the manual: “The giant audio buttons are a bit of any eyesore and can mess with card formatting. I’m turning them off for now, despite it being useful for cards with multiple audio clips. Please add options to at least change the size of the button. Maybe have it scale with font size in the CSS/HTML. It would also be nice if it was a play icon without the ring, or if the color could be changed. Edit: I’d like to thank the developer for the helpful response. Though, it’d be nice if that information was documented somewhere.”.Version: 2.0.58

Great app for med school, but recently not as responsive...I have a 2017 iPad Pro, and by far this is the best app investment I’ve made as of yet. I always use notability in split screen mode with anki and there were no problems when reviewing flash cards. However, today when I went to review my cards it isn’t a simple tap on the anki app to show the answer. Now I have to tap multiple times, sometimes 4 or 5 times, to get to the answer and move on to the next card. I used to be able to use the Apple Pencil, tap once, and move on. It seems to be slightly better with finger touch(but still takes about 4 times of continuous tapping). Also if I change the orientation of the screen it seems to be slightly more responsive but not a complete fix. I shutdown my iPad, closed the apps, put anki separate from notability, but still experience problems. Some help on that would be nice. Otherwise, excellent app!.Version: 2.0.41

Best flashcards system hands downSo glad this exists. I purchased it during college some 10 years ago but never took the plunge until this year due to intimidation and not knowing where to start. Now that I have, this has quickly become the only app on my phone that I prioritize opening daily. I would love improvements to the browse feature like a clickable reference that adds filters to the search bar when you select them or at least is just a reference for what you can type yourself. Right now I have some of my common search terms saved as shortcuts and that is pretty serviceable but not ideal. Also, I like that I can import decks straight to the app but the audio always breaks on import to app. I imagine I can probably import to web first and then sync but I rarely use my computer so it’s not what I am likely to do..Version: 25.09

The (online) classroom study companion you needI messed around with Anki for free on PC and the web for awhile in the midst of intermittent language self-study periods, always thinking I would find just the right deck to really kick my learning into high gear. Unfortunately, the decks I would find online seemed to be more miss than hit, even for things you would think would be pretty standard. In any case, I never got to the point of using it enough that I felt it would be worth paying for the iOS version... That is, until I started taking a real course online from a reputable language school. Now, just having a running deck where I can add whatever it is that I need to memorize for current and upcoming lessons, I’m starting to reap the benefits and have decided to plunk down the cash to support it. I’m sure I’ll get more than my money’s worth as I progress further and the new material starts to pile up!.Version: 2.0.65

It’s 2023: Integrate Anki into Apple WatchI 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..Version: 2.0.90

Just buy it alreadyIf you want to learn a language, one of the biggest barriers is of vocabulary acquisition. There’s simply no easy way to learn thousands of words in a short period of time. However, Anki is a brilliant solution. If you learn to use it correctly, it tracks which words you have learned well and makes them disappear quickly, and it will repeat the more difficult words that you can’t master until you have learned them. As your memory naturally fades, old vocabulary words will get shuffled back into your review, so that you can keep from forgetting them. There’s a lot of science here, and tons of free flash card decks. Plus, with a one-time cost that is a bit on the high side, you will be motivated to get your money’s worth and form the habit of using it daily. I recommend it to all my ESL students..Version: 25.09

The Most Important App on My PhoneThanks Anki for all you do. As someone who never pays for apps, I quickly realized this was easily worth the money. Having your personally crafted flashcards on mobile to use during ANY brief downtime (waiting in line) is front loading your brain to connect the ideas later while it’s in diffuse mode. I have decks for language learning, geography, flags, new vocabulary, and top book highlights so far. The picture and audio on flashcards shows up and works great on the phone so far. I like how easy it is to edit a flashcards on mobile if you want to change something. The design is simple and that is a truly good thing in my opinion. It reminds me of the 90s, not only the design but making a one time payment for a good program. When first setting up a second device, I was asked a few times if I wanted to overwrite the Anki on my device or the Anki on my cloud, and I had to do this a few times on the desktop version. But now it’s seamless and whether I’m on phone or laptop I just remember to sync what I’ve done and it’s a quick moment before both devices are synced up. Locking in my world geography, recent reading highlights, and the most frequent 625 words in a new language is what Anki is doing for me in the first couple of weeks using it..Version: 2.0.48

Great appWasn't too sure at first about purchasing, but the app is definitely worth it as it increases time you can spend studying. I did wish it had more editing options but otherwise it's great. Edit: after using this app for a few months (and after using the desktop version almost every day for the past 4 months months) I definitely would still rate this app a 5/5 (or even a 6/5 if I could). Anki is an insanely useful study tool and I can’t recommend it enough, for whatever it is that you want to study. The UI could be a little prettier, but it grows on you eventually. Definitely get this app if you spend parts of your day idling (on a bus, in a subway, away from your computer, etc.) because it will improve your efficiency. If you’re on the fence, know that people don’t rave about anki without reason..Version: 2.0.38

Powerful, customizable study toolI wish I’d started using this earlier in my language learning efforts. The mobile app is worth the price, but the desktop version is also fantastic (and slightly easier to navigate). I like to create and review from the phone but sort/organize and edit on the desktop. As a spoken language learner, this is so useful for collecting new vocabulary words, using picture or written prompts, making recordings of correct pronunciation (for each word if desired), and keeping recordings of stories. I also like the “cloze” card template for quizzing myself on irregular plurals. I’ve found the system still works well even with non-Latin script. One tip: READ THE MANUAL FIRST. So much can be helped/avoided by getting a sense for the wide range of customizable features..Version: 24.04

1 Stars didn’t bother reading the manualI have been using Anki and AnkiMobile for 9 months now. First off it has a huge learning curve, but that is typical for any application that puts any real power in the hands of the user. Anki does exactly as advertised. I am not going to explain what that is, but all the 1 star reviews almost exclusively demonstrate the user did not read the manual or expected Anki to be a stay on the rails single faceted type of learning app. It isn’t. What it is is an app that allows you to create your own learning environment(s) that YOU tailor for YOUR learning needs. This app is fantastic for memorizing large amounts of single pieces of information whether that’s language study, or medical knowledge or whatever is appropriate for a managed flash card style of learning. The only thing I would have changed, and I DID recommend it on the support board, is to move deck ordering option to deck options rather than it being a global setting. I have decks I want to see new cards first and other decks I want to see new cards after reviews. The developer responded that it sounds like a good idea and he’ll think about that. That limitation however does not warrant knocking down a star. So 5 stars.Version: 2.0.44

Pretty goodI love the anki ecosystem. For school this is a must if you have an iPhone or iPad, along with a laptop to use the actual app. If you consistently use anki, get the app. I do wish however the scratchpad for when using an iPad could be snapped to the left or right of the screen, instead of only the bottom. It would eliminate the need for using another app to draw while you study. Also some different colors would be cool but I can’t ask for too much. Although it is slower than drawing directly in the app. I think even implementing excali draw would be cool. Also since this app is so expensive, I feel like a dedicated suggestion setting somewhere in the menu would be cool so I don’t have to write a review to make a suggestion..Version: 2.0.87

Great App, needs improvementsI am currently using this app for school. It is a great concept and has helped me learn a lot of information quickly. However, I do have a few suggestions: 1) I would really enjoy the ability to add subjects into folders. For example, after I am tested on a set of subjects I would like to be able to place them in an “old tests” folder. That way it is off of my main screen and reduces clutter. 2) It would be nice to have the option to create collaborative decks. Sharing a deck with a friend is possible, but it does not automatically update across all devices when cards are added. Even when you synchronize the cards, it only updates to the one account, not all accounts the deck has been shared with. 3) It is not possible to reset a deck on the iPad app. You have to go into the computer app to reset a study schedule. 4) I have not been able to share just one deck at a time. When I share something, it shares all of my decks. It also replaces the collection of the person I share the decks with. Just one subject at a time would be nice. 5) it would be nice to have more themes. A black mode would be nice in order to minimize blue light exposure. For $25 it seems like there would be a little more customization available..Version: 2.0.42

Attention developersCould you guys please update the app to allow cards to disappear completely without only hitting one day. I would really like for the cards to disappear when I hit the one minute or 10 minute button. If I have a small deck, it just continuously cycles through the cards regardless of if I hit one minute or 10 minutes, they’re still there in my deck, and I still instantly see them. It would be really nice if they completely cleared out of the deck, even for that small amount of time. It’d be nice to see the congratulations you cleared your deck and then the cards come back after 10 minutes or one minute. It could be a setting that you can turn on and off for people that may or may not want it. If we can do that, I’ll change my review to five stars. Thanks:).Version: 25.09

Worth itI’ve been using Anki for the 3 years I’ve been learning Japanese and it’s genuinely the best tool for learning a language (never going back to Quizlet). I use the pc version when I can but up until now whenever I’ve been away from my desktop I’ve been using the web version. I decided to finally splurge on the app and I’d say it’s worth it. I still prefer the pc version but the app is miles better than the web version. Let’s me type my answers, make filtered decks, better ui, all that nice stuff. If you have easy access to a computer most of the time I’d recommend just getting the free pc version BUT if you’re studying mobile a lot like I am the price is worth it!.Version: 25.09

Best Flashcard App, but...I have been using Anki’s desktop and browser version to help get me through med school. I’ve tried quizlet, study blue, and a couple other less known flashcard apps that just didn’t have the flexibility that Anki has. Anki may be simple looking in its aesthetics, but it’s a lot more powerful than the competition. You can add virtually anything (audio, media, text, etc) to a flash card, can study at your own pace, and review your progress. With its spaced repetition programming, it has everything you need and more in a flash card application. So why the three stars? Two reasons: the price and the inability to choose which decks to download. 1. The Web and desktop versions are free. Although I have no qualms in supporting the developers by buying this app, the price is a little steep for an otherwise free product. 2. On Anki you make a profile, and all of your decks, progress, etc are synced to that profile. When you download the app, not only do you sync to your profile, but every card of every deck that is linked to your profile is then downloaded onto your phone. You can’t choose which decks you want to download, so you’re stuck with three choices, none of which are optimal. Either you delete decks as to not overwhelm the hard drive on your phone, create a new account and go through the process of exporting data daily from one account to another just to keep up with the progress you’ve made on a deck, or be consigned to the fact that you’re just going to have to make room for the multiple gigabytes of data that come along with having an Anki account. As a whole, I give Anki 5 stars, but this app falls short of the type of flexibility I’ve come to expect from the developers of Anki..Version: 2.0.48

Yeah... this app is a lifechanger.This app has given me my confidence back. I no longer have to worry about forgetting things that I learned throughout the day. This is not just a regular flashcard app. All of the other flashcard apps out there may have a few small functions like cloze deletions or audio support. But Anki has EVERYTHING. It has images, audio, cloze deletions, language, autosync, keyboard shortcuts (for those of us who like to use a keyboard with the iphone), LaTeX support (which is imperative for ppl studying anything mathematically related), addons that give you the ability to automatically insert language audio (AwesomeTTS), addons that let you automatically generate pinyin for Chinese characters, addons that let you modify any and every part of your anki experience..Version: 2.0.40

Responsive and meshes very well with Migaku JapaneseThis app is absolutely worth the money in my opinion. I had been using AnkiApp for a while to learn Japanese - using a shared audio deck from AnkiApp, but once i started my own desktop mining deck I couldn’t get it from my computer to my phone. In addition, that other app did not handle audio correctly so it would significantly lag after just a few cards, and when exiting the app and coming back. A huge advantage this app has over AnkiApp is that it lets you sync to your AnkiWeb account. So now i can make cards on my desktop on the fly and sync it right with the app which is great. Not only is this app very responsive and feature rich, but one thing also really pleasantly surprised me: My custom deck that uses the Migaku(MIA) Japanese plugin on my desktop works flawlessly. This cannot be a coincidence. They must have intentionally coded this functionality in. As such, the furigana and pitch accent highlighting are perfect, even the fonts are preserved. If you are on the fence about this and you are also a Japanese learner (especially if you’re using MattvsJapan’s anki workflow), you should totally get this.Version: 2.0.69

Best Flashcard System AvailableI know that a $20 price tag seems a little daunting for a mobile app, but I guarantee you that you will get your money back tenfold in the value of this app. When it comes to memorization systems, there is no better app than Anki. Aki uses spaced repetition and a flashcards system to help users memorize information for long-term. I use this app for medical school all the time, it is the gold standard for memorizing topics. Not to mention, this app syncs perfectly with the desktop version of Anki. If you are already an Anki user I highly recommend that you purchase this app both to support the developers and so that you have access to a great mobile Anki experience..Version: 2.0.87

In need of some updates.A great app overall, I’m incredibly thankful for the developer and all their hard work. I’ve used the app for several years to excel in my clinical doctorate program. That said, I’d like to a way to pin favorited actions to the actual notes screen to remove the extra step of clicking the settings icon. Sounds silly, but this actually takes a chunk of time when reviewing hundreds of cards daily. I’m constantly “marking / burying” cards on my iPad … deleting / editing these on my Mac afterwards for ease. This way I’m constantly improving / culling my cards over time. Pinning the actions would really improve this workflow. Regardless, buy the app! It’s an incredibly useful tool..Version: 2.0.75

Worth the moneyI 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..Version: 25.09

This is the Real Anki, Avoid CopycatsThere are a few other programs on the Apple Store that claim to be Anki’s. They are all imposters. Don’t be fooled by these jokers. I can’t believe the Apple Store tolerates these frauds on their service. I’ve tried a couple of the fake Anki’s and they don’t hold a candle to the Original. So many more features, add-on’s, plug-ins, etc. The Real Anki has excellent customer support. Is it worth $25? Every penny of it. I feel good supporting this wonderful educational resource. Through the years I have used Anki in difficult subjects like Anatomy and Microbiology and my grades were top of the class. This program is so versatile. I’ve never had any issues with it..Version: 24.04

Well worthWell worth the price as you can inconspicuously flex on your coworkers of how monstrously superior your giga chad brain is. Simply pull up the app in the elevator and all who see the app will be awestruck and speechless. Works every time, not a peep can be heard. I guess I really do exude a that kind of alpha presence. And in case anyone was curious, I’m currently using Anki to learn how to communicate with computers using electricity. So far I’ve already finished binary, assembly, and the html language. I’m always harassed by my coworkers to focus on the job but little do they know I’m building an AI that will render our job obsolete. Be on the lookout for a major disruption in the janitorial services market. The name is ThePrimeagen 🫵🏻.Version: 2.0.96

Love it for the most partI originally bought this app to support the devs, so I didn’t have much high hopes for it base on all the reviews. The app turned out to be very helpful and I loved it for the most part, especially the scratch pad. The only negative thing I have to say is the image problem. Originally all of my images were synced perfectly. But after couple weeks of use, the white part of some of my images disappeared. Not sure if it has anything to do with data being lost during sync. I tried to sync it multiple times but still not fixed. This potentially could lead to more problems in the future..Version: 25.09

The Gold StandardAnki is the gold standard in memorization right now, and this is the real Anki app. Unlike the knockoffs, Anki Mobile features a state of the art scheduling system that allows you to memorize with maximum efficiency. In addition, while the one time price tag may be high, you’ll pay much less for the real thing over time than you will with the knockoff subscriptions that drain your wallet. Do yourself a favor: if you care about memorization, put in the money and time to get Anki working for you. It’s the best way to memorize words in a foreign language, the best way to memorize anatomy or law, and the best way to internalize historical dates and facts..Version: 24.08

The originalThis is the original and by far the best flash card app. It’s the ONLY open source, community driven spaced repetition platform. Don’t be fooled by the imitation apps trying to sell you stuff. The open source nature of Anki ensures against predatory behavior. This app costs so much because it’s the only source of income the developer is asking for. He doesn’t even have a patron. The developer offers a cloud service and windows/Mac/Linux desktop clients completely free of charge. If you can’t afford the price of this app you can use the cloud platform for free (Ankiweb) on mobile which gives you basic functionality, and you can download the desktop client for the full experience for free..Version: 2.0.59

Life changingI started out using Anki only for learning languages but I now use it for all aspects of my life. Read a nice quote in a book? Put it in Anki. A term I don’t understand in Wall Street Journal? Anki. A new type of cuisine I tasted in France? Anki. It allows me to record and remember all the small things that may otherwise go to oblivion without repetition. I now have a dozen decks and tens of thousands of cards, and I spend at least 2 hours per day on this app. This is not the prettiest app and it will not work for you out of the box. And occasionally it is buggy. But it is hyper customizable, and for super power users like me, it is life changing.Version: 23.10

I love Anki!!!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!!.Version: 25.09

Spectacular appBeing able to do Anki on my iPad is such an amazing feature. Only problem I have is that the images I paste into the notes section of my cards when I make them on my computer are too big to display the same way on the iPad (two images that fit side by side on the computer version won’t on the iPad and one will be below so I have to scroll to see it). Seems to be an issue with the images being sized by pixels and the iPad screen just can’t fit as many pixels as my computer. Would be nice if there was some sort of resizing option for the iPad version so the images could automatically scale down for the screen and display how they do when I make them on the computer..Version: 24.04

Life-changingIt never ceases to amaze me that this app doesn’t have 5 stars. Anki is an extraordinarily powerful learning tool if you take the time to understand it. Learn how to use it on your computer first for free (and use the website when you want to use it on the go), and then when you’ve proven your own dedication to using it daily, download this app. *Edit* 7/9/21 Still an absolutely amazing app. From my browsing of the negative reviews, the vast majority are the result of “user error”. If you’re confused, try searching for a solution online before you leave an angry review that makes you look incompetent..Version: 2.0.75

Used it to learn JapaneseThis is an outstanding app for learning Japanese and probably anything else that can be divided into topics that fit on a flash card. I used it to supplement Duolingo and Human Japanese for eight months, before my first trip to Japan. I was able to make myself understood in Japanese, and I understood much of what I heard there. I couldn’t have done that Anki. Use shared decks to get started but watch for errors in them. Personalize your deck and it make it own. High recommended and definitely worth the price. Also, use your browser to get over the steep learning curve. It’s worth it..Version: 25.09

Images don’t show upSpent $34 on this to be able to study on the go but basically pointless without the images.Version: 2.0.67

IMAGES DONT SHOWFrustrating to pay so much and not have the images show..Version: 2.0.79

Loses dataThe "shake to undo" is On by default and doesn't prompt. I have lost quite a few new cards inadvertently, and it is hard to find out the cause..Version: 25.02.1

Great, but wish had some UI / UX improvementsThe official iPhone Anki flashcards app is great but… The UI/UX could use a major overhaul— it’s functional, but clunky. In 2025, for the money, it’s a difficult sell. I wish these things were added: - Last deck studied at the very top (to easily jump back in) - Progress bars for each deck on the main Deck Overview screen - Progress bars while card reviewing - A better interface to add/edit cards on the go - For some reason, the card preview action is on the same toolbar as text formatting options, which should be on the keyboard. - Ability to add cards on the Deck Overview screen - Better review buttons and gestures (phones are getting bigger every year and this four button model is not ergonomic) - Better animations and review confirmations (they disappear very fast, too fast— a progress bar and visual indicators would help tremendously here, ie one that glows the color of the button and a text popup for accessibility) - Better congratulations screen - Add confetti and some stats maybe? One can argue that the phone shouldn’t be used to add cards; and you could be right — but this same screen is used for editing cards. UI design has come a long way since this app has been released. There are many, many examples of good iPhone app designs out there thanks to resources like Mobbin (not Dribble), to take inspiration from. Could even hire an app designer, or even poach a designer thanks to Anki’s well respected brand name. My two cents. I’m really thankful for your app regardless Dae and co.!.Version: 25.02.2

The best reason for having a smart phoneAnki at $35 is a lot cheaper than FlappyFarm at a buck. How valuable is the ability to retain everything you've ever learned? Note: the Anki app really has to be used in conjunction with the Anki desktop program..Version: 2.0.35

The original oneDon’t be confused by AnkiApp jumping in on the brand.Version: 2.0.42

Please add a progress barIt's important to ask you to put the completion below with a progress bar instead of a number. Just like the Chinese version of Anki hopes, users can always know how much time they've spent learning, rather than thinking by looking at the numbers.Version: 25.02.2

Been using it for 10 yearsGreat app. I used to do flashcard reviews manually but it’s nice to digitize everything with this level of control over its algorithm. I suggest the name of the app be changed to Anki just like its desktop version..Version: 25.02.2

SolidMy biggest gripe is that I need to sync manually. Also, it seems it’s not possible to delete card types from the app. You can delete decks, but not the card types that a deck may have created. Otherwise it’s a great app. The learning curve is quite steep though. The onboarding experience could have been better, especially for an app that costs more than $30 CAD. A simple in-app tutorial would suffice..Version: 2.0.83

Not cheap, but helps finance the pc and web versionA bit expensive, but I guess it helps pay for them to host the free accounts, etc, so it’s worth it if your cards aren’t using any features that don’t work well on the app.Version: 24.11

Original AnkiThis is the real Anki, search Reddit and check for yourself before buying any of the other ones. It is much better than the inferior clones.Version: 24.08

Perfect for medical fellowshipUsed this for me allergy and immunology fellowship. Spent the first year with data entry and the second year reviewing the flash cards. This is perfect for those few minutes you have interspersed throughout the day - waiting to review a case , before lecture starts, right before bed. Passed my fellowship with ease ( and won an award at one of our social knowledge competition). For serious hardcore studies this is the way to go. Note that this is not useful for the occasional course or quick academic study. As mentioned took me a little less than a year to make the cards.Version: 2.0.87

Neato!The app honestly is great, it’s good for anyone who is taking content heavy courses and can’t spend 5 hours a day reviewing every single flashcard and instead offers an algorithm that gives you back the cards you are weak in rather than wasting time just reviewing cards to already know. Also just a reminder, if you can’t pay for it, just use the website, stop complaining when there’s literally a free alternative. This app has consistently helped my memory. Sure, the UI seems a bit old, but I feel like that’s a bit irrelevant considering the more simple and bare bone your UI is, the better retention you have to the actual flashcards. My only complaint is that many features on the desktop version aren’t on the app, such as cloze card creation or preferences to import things like anking..Version: 25.09

Worth the money. Smooth experience between mobile and desktop.I’m a university student and I do 90% of my studying on the toilet and on the bus. This is an amazingly efficient use of time that would not be possible without the mobile app! Worth every penny..Version: 2.0.83

UnsuscribeCould you please share with me the process to unsubscribe to Anki mobile(pay version) I am not able to find the way to stop the subscription Thanks.Version: 2.0.80

Wow, Anki is such a game changer!!!I can’t believe I only recently discovered Anki. There is no better learning tool, and it’s never been more convenient than from this mobile app. Incredible stuff. If you ask me, it’s priceless, so $35 or whatever is completely worth it..Version: 2.0.72

QuestionIs it 34 a month?? I thought I was a one time purchase which felt hefty but was nothing to every single month!.Version: 2.0.87

Great App - support Anki’s Development!I’ve used this app every day the last couple months to study, and have never had issues. The app works especially well when you sync with a computer. Load the deck once, then use your phone to learn whenever you want. I’m very grateful that Anki isn’t another cloud subscription model, it’s completely free to cloud sync. This app is optional (you can use the PC version completely free) and I respect that massively about the project. I’ve been able to study during my commute every day and have seen great progress thanks to Anki’s FSRS implementation. Truly a really cool ML algorithm. I’m not sure why people are complaining about the UI, it is very functional and above all, FAST. People who complain about the app’s UI just want more JavaScript V8 electron based slop with pretty css and fancy animations. The app’s UI is very purposeful in its use case - to LEARN; and it does that perfectly. Love this app and the Anki project. Worth every penny..Version: 25.09

Add Practice TestsIts a very reliable app for flashcards, however, adding ai assisted practice tests like quizlet would make this app a more enticing experience and i’m sure adding that feature would attract other people to use this app.Version: 25.09

UnfortunateI bought this on accident 😭.Version: 25.09

IncredibleVery useful way to learn.Version: 25.09

Works very well with the MacI never leave reviewed but it was very difficult to find a flash card application that lets you upload as many pictures as you’d like. This app has been perfect. Yes it’s dated but it’s powerful. Easily sync and add cards through the Mac application as well. Perfect for what I needed..Version: 25.09

It will be awesome if it offers option to automatically text to speechIt will be awesome if it offers option to automatically text to speech.Version: 25.09

Headlines OptionI know there’s headline options (1., *) in the desktop/computer version but could you add it into the IPad and IPhone version too? It also sometime glitches on the desktop version by using the shortcut command + . for 1. headlines in the apple desktop. It opens system preferences of Anki so I have to restart the app everytime it does. Anyways, please add headlines into the IPad and IPhone version, I desperately need my flashcard information organized. Thank you!.Version: 25.02.2

Please Fix FSRS ‘Fatal Error’This app is great and I don’t know what I would do without it. BUT can you please fix the ‘Fatal Error’ which pops up after checking ON the FSRS Parameters. Thanks.Version: 25.02.2

Amazing AppI’ve used to to learn Japanese & anything I need to memorize over the years. Great app..Version: 25.02.2

Amazing appI payed 35 dollars for this app it’s a amazing app, please update the mobile version to be able to do add ons.Version: 25.02.2

GreatSuper glad I bought this app! Does what it’s supposed to and is super helpful.Version: 25.02.2

Background colorI would appreciate the option to change the background to grey..Version: 24.11

Supporting this awesome tool!Good enough for study on the go. But the main reason for purchasing is to support the developers of an irreplaceable tool. There is nothing that comes close to the customizability of Anki and ankiweb, don’t know what I would do without it. Using for studying mandarin..Version: 24.11

Works wellLove the app!.Version: 24.11

Show timer pleaseGreat, love it. But can the timer be displayed too? I got distracted a lot and lose time.Version: 24.08

Amazing appI’ve used Anki for years and learned so much..Version: 24.04

Syncing issueThe fact that I need to go out of my way to fix a basic feature for a $34 app is disappointing. It’s a great app when it works and has nice features..Version: 24.08
