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.

Unbelievably bad

Not worth £25, £1 at most…the app is clunky, hard to use and a total rip off.

Revolutionary App

This app can change your life if you give it the chance…. I’ve spent years trying to find the best way to revise: notes, physical flashcards, mind maps - I’ve tried the whole lot. And yet, until Anki, nothing seemed to work. Anki has truly been transformational to my education, helping me to go from someone near the bottom of my year to getting all 9s in my GCSE mocks (top ≈500/600,000) and hopefully all 9s in the real exams in the summer. Yes, it takes time. Yes it takes effort. Yes it takes consistency. But, if you’re willing to put in the work, Anki can change your life, just as it has changed mine. Although the £25 price is steep, if you weigh up the potential value it brings to your education it is 100% worth it. I bought Anki on IOS about 2 years ago, meaning that it comes out to just about a pound a month - an absolute bargain for the value it delivers. + buying the app helps to support the brilliant developers who make the free desktop app, and have done an amazing job.

Phenomenal for languages and studying

I’ve been using Anki to learn words in an L2. I’m astounded by how effective it is. I used it extensively at university too with incredible results. Thank you, devs!!!

Worth the money, but a few QOL changes would be nice

So for one thing, it can play ogg files. This is frustrating as a lot of open source sound productions use ogg to avoid any sort of copyright issue. I assume adding the capabilities would bloat the software a little bit, but imo it’s a trade worth making. The other thing is that sometimes it struggles with more advanced card formats. I use one with a few sounds, image, and code for pitch accent colour, and sometimes the card will come up with a big grey box. That said, even still the ability to do anki on the train is a game changer, so highly recommended

Not for me

If your aim is to learn something over months and years, you have your flash card deck completed and ready to go from the off, and have time to review daily, this app might work for you. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste of £25. Concept is ok, but this is a specialist tool really. Not helpful if your exams are coming in the next month or so and far more confusing than it needs to be.
