AnkiMobile Flashcards 4+

Almost perfect!

I never regret buying the paid version for my iPad,
but a bunch of features could be added to make the app much more powerful.

1. Being able to manually crop a picture (captured using camera in-app) would go a long way, it’s just so sad having to go use Ankidroid whenever I need to crop a pic in-app.
2. I know Add-ons aren’t possible on iPad version, but at least adding Image Occlusion add-on somehow would be great!

TO BE FIXED: Also, Timer isn’t being shown on the review screen for iPad, even though the ‘Show Timer’ option is turned on. Please fix it

Too much reliance on the desktop application

Although I absolutely love Anki and the process behind it, I am slightly disappointed in the iOS app. I hope the developers will read this review and consider some changes.

I am a medical student, and one of the things essential for my every day carry is portability. I do have a MacBook, but I tend to carry and use my iPad Pro more often. As Apple is developing the right hardware and the compatible software for the iPad Pro to function more like a replacement for the laptop, I think at this point, iPad Pro (or any iPad to some extent) is a viable laptop replacement for most people.

Everything I do in my day, I can do on my iPad. The only thing that I have to open my laptop for is to make flash cards in Anki. It is stupid. Why is there no option to make new note types, or even use the ones I custom made on my laptop? This is ridiculous because the Anki app on the iOS doesn’t have to be the companion app for the desktop version when the hardware is plenty capable on its own.

I have no issues paying for an app, and I understand needing to support the development of both the computer and the mobile applications. But it is ridiculous that the app is so limited in function that I am the one who has to compromise, even though I have made my contribution.

Amazing app worth the price

I thought a lot about buying the app then I went on the webpage and read your reasons for charging so much for it and it made real sense to me and helped me make a decision to purchase the app.

***Just a minor feedback

1. The new/review Order in the scheduling options will only work for the options that all decks use.

If I create a custom Options group the new/review order changes do not apply to that options group .

I have to set the options group to the mein now to use that feature.

If new/review order changes could also be applied for specific custom options it would be perfect .

Edit : yes I figured that out in time . Thank you .

2. add multiple images at one time instead of going thru the menu every time

Edit : thank you for the tip, I found it really helpful . Else I was individually selecting each photo, I just create the split screen now and drag the image.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback! It is not possible to use a different new/review order for individual decks, as when you study a deck you may actually be studying multiple decks that are nested below it at the same time.

AnkiMobile is using iOS's standard photo selection API, which only supports selecting a single image at once. It is however possible to add multiple images at once by selecting them in the iOS photos app, then copying&pasting or dragging them into AnkiMobile's editor.
