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, 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.

    Too expensive for what it is
  • This app is awful

    I bought this app and found it was not user friendly. It’s difficult to upload your own files for study. Would not recommend.
  • The most frustrating app experience ever!

    I have spent over 40 minutes trying to figure out how to do a basic task—importing a CSV or TXT file—and NOTHING works. This is easily the most unintuitive app I have ever used. The app references an "iTunes link," which is completely outdated and irrelevant for a mobile app in 2026. For an app that is extremely expensive compared to others in the category, the UI feels 15 years old and the workflow is a nightmare. There is no direct "import" button for cloud files; instead, you’re stuck in a loop of "invalid zip" errors and "EOCD" messages just trying to load a simple spreadsheet. I bought this expecting a premium experience, but instead, I got a headache. Extremely frustrating. I want my money back.
  • Anki review

    Anki has been one of the most helpful tools I’ve used in undergrad and chiropractic school. I credit it for not only helping me cut down my study time, but also to remember the information beyond the time I actively study it. This has made board exams successful and real life practice easier! It definitely takes time to understand the settings and commitment to doing the cards, but it is so worth it in the end!
  • Inefficient use of time

    There are other apps for spaced repetition that don’t involve spending many hours to learn how to use the app
  • Not able to share

    It claims to be able to be shared but no Apple says that it won’t honor it
  • Not user friendly

    Can’t figure out how to import or find resources easily on how to do it. I’m sure that there’s a way to do it or this app would have zero stars, but the fact that they just drop you in and expect you to fend for yourself without even a tutorial or basic navigation of the app and it’s useful features tells me this app doesn’t deserve more than a 3 stars regardless.
  • The app technically works, but misses it’s objective

    By Arvada user
    Sure the app works. But I am not learning anything. I’m stuck in what others have called review hell. Eventually in a session, after seeing words 10 or 12 times, I can recognize the words. But the next day it is as if I have never seen them before. I am not retaining anything with this approach. My advice to others is to try to determine if a flash card approach is right for you before you buy this app.

  • Sync Works but Error Message Appears

    5
    By Rasheed Alshafei
    The synchronization actually works and completes successfully, but after syncing, the app still shows an error notification. This is confusing because the data is already synced, yet an error message appears. Please fix this issue so the error message only appears when the sync actually fails.
