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 desktop and mobile clients, which is why the app is priced as a desktop application.
AnkiMobile was designed to allow existing Anki users to review on the go. Reviewing is fully featured, but while basic card adding and editing features are provided (including the ability to attach photos and record your voice), the desktop program is needed for more complex editing and to explore all the recorded statistics. If you have not used the desktop program before, please familiarize yourself with it before you consider buying this app.
AnkiMobile offers a number of things lacking in other flashcard programs:
- A proven spaced repetition algorithm that learns from your answers and schedules reviews at the optimum time.
- Seamless integration with the online and desktop versions. You can synchronize all your decks with the touch of a
button, and if your Apple device is ever lost or broken, you can continue reviewing with the desktop until it is
replaced.
- Support for scientific markup with LaTeX.
- Support for furigana for Japanese.
- A wealth of
statistics are stored in your deck as you review, and many of these can be inspected within the app. These statistics
can help you plan your future studies, and are a source of motivation.
- Flexible card display format that allows
you to display an arbitrary number of fields on the front and back of cards.
Other notable features:
- Full support for offline images and audio.
- Your font and color settings in the desktop client are respected,
and scaled to fit the mobile screen. You can adjust the scaling.
- The ability to undo reviews, card suspensions
and more.
- Swipes, taps and buttons can all be configured to allow quick reviews and quick access to various
features.
Please note:
- This app assumes you are familiar with the desktop program - if you're not, please try it out before buying the
app.
- As mentioned above, this app requires the desktop application for initial setup and some editing operations.
It is a supplement to the desktop program, not a replacement for it.
- Decks can be synchronized across devices via
a free AnkiWeb account, or copied back and forth via iTunes' file sharing feature, for devices on iOS3.2+.
Like all apps, AnkiMobile can be purchased once and then used on up to 5 devices in a household using the same Apple ID. For information on bulk discounts for educational institutions, please see http://www.apple.com/itunes/education/
