Invaluable language learning resources. Only thing that would make this better is if the automatic TTS option allowed for specifying what you want it to read. It basically wrecks cards in languages like Japanese because it reads Kanji out to you before you can confirm you know the reading, but i would still very much like to hear only the question side of the card once I've revealed the answer side (answers on the other hand, i don't need read, and it just reads everything right now)

Recording bug Ever since new update on June 14th, whenever I record audio, playing the play button does nothing. When editing each card and trying to play the audio, it will fail. However, the audio can be heard when studying the card. This makes it very inconvenient for users to know if the recording succeeded

Addictive to knowledge This great app is something that any student could make use of it and love it! not just it makes you efficiently remember anything but makes you win through any intimidated subject if you knew how to found your base using it!

A rare jewel It's really a joy finding a piece of software that's this well-done. There is simply no better way to retain information than through flashcard programs like these, and Anki is the program for power users. Although editing cards on mobile is difficult, it's 100% compatible with the full-featured desktop version of Anki, so all management can take place there. Couldn't be happier.

This app is the most useful helpful thing I have ever found in my entire life, no joke Without this app, I'd be failing my exams because I've ended up making over 1000 school flashcards and I'm relying on anki for those good grades It's just so much easier than making real life flashcards 5/5

Perfect! Sync but more importantly the pictures from the advanced editor work again. Very happy. Fantastic app and great dev team! Update: I haven't used anki in quite a while and recently started it back up and couldn't seem to be able to add pictures from Google/search in the advanced editor. Was this feature dropped? I really hope not as that was an extremely useful feature and would love to have it back in :(

That API was dropped by Google so we had no choice but to drop it unfortunately Superb Though I suspect it being a little difficult for some, as it seems to throw you in the deep end with deck efficiency, and when managing something of large sizes it's always best to do it right first and not remodel all your cards after. The app runs butterfly smooth, no fault in it. I like the gestures for single handed simplicity.

Please submit a bug report to the issue tracker:
https://ankidroid.org/docs/help.html Sound robust app There's a couple of things I miss coming to this from the IOS app such as tapping for answering and advancing in full screen mode, but minor points. A good dependable workhorse app that gets daily use.
AnkiDroid Open Source Team June 15, 2016
You can enable gestures in the settings to accomplish this. Media buttons on cards get in the way After the last update a deck that I have now places the media buttons in the middle of the part where it says the answer. On the PC version the buttons aren't even supposed to be there . Can you please add a way to hide them?

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Advanced-formatting#remove-the-audio-play-button-from-flashcards Thanks for the new update Been using this for a while and it's been super helpful. One thing though, in the decks, can you give the option to reverse them. Like instead of going from Japanese to English, can I do English to Japanese in flashcard decks, rather than doing them individually? If there's already an option for it, I must've missed it lol

https://ankidroid.org/docs/manual.html#reverseCards Excellent flash card app. What would be great to improve 1) Support for proxy environments: User name and password dependent internet environments e.g. in uni etc 2) Layout view in card browser: It is a bit painful to see the source code of the flashcards in the card browser - or is there already a way to see change this? 3) True portable function without having to create short cuts.
Want to like it I have spent WAY too much time trying to make what should be a simple process work. It will not create reverse cards for me. First it said it was creating two cards, but the reverse was always empty. Then it wouldn't create the second card even when I have it set to basic and reverse. I could have handwritten 100 flash cards in the time I wasted trying to make this app work.

Are both cards visible in the browser? Probably you're just seeing the siblin burying feature: http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html#siblings-and-burying
This is mentioned in the introductory video
https://ankidroid.org/docs/manual.html#gettingStarted Fantastic, specially if you can use an existing deck Several decks are readily available, geography and language topics are well covered. The app allows to add simple text only card or make minor edits. For deck authoring you use a PC, sync and then study with the app. BTW, the app is just beautiful.
Unreliable tap-gestures Gestures (taps in certain areas on card) often don't work and I'm forced to tap the buttons to get to next card where it works again.

Missing key functionality to be able to flip the cards and show in reverse order. Unfortunately I will have to go and create a new duplicate deck in reverse. There's a good few hours down the drain. Other than that I can see the benefits of this system but why they didn't include this functionality for learning languages is beyond me.

https://ankidroid.org/docs/manual.html#reverseCards Excessively complicated and not user-friendly. I will continue to use this app due to the fact that I really like the cards. The cards themselves are easy to make and are simple. The app on the other hand is overly complicated and it takes too long to learn how to use it properly. There should be a "simple" option where you just make cards and can review them whenever you want, then have all the complicated features be optional.

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/FAQ#how-can-i-study-my-cards-exactly-when-i-want-to When I synch the account of my laptop then open the same account on tab it show me different picture on the tab, so I go back to the laptop to see if anything went wrong but no everything is fine! Something is wrong with the synch on the tap I'm talking about a card which made of pictures as Q and picture as a answer! Seems like the picture code or name cross another picture code and name and end up showing me another picture from anther one of my accounts or desks!

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/FAQ#why-doesnt-my-sound-or-image-work-on-ankidroid Disappointing I had high hopes for this app to learn Spanish. But extremely time-consuming and confusing to learn how to use. Terminology used is unclear, not user-friendly. Ex.: 'study' would be more clear, obvious and accurate than 'review'. Review means to see again. It implies the material has been seen before and is a more cursory exposure to the material. I also can't remember where various features are: must search endlessly. Too complicated to learn. Descriptions too technical,nerdy.Optional pop-ups would help.
I am completely lost as to why this app gets so many good reviews, because for me, it is AWFUL - at least as far as custom decks are concerned. It is far too over-complicated. Bear witness. Even trying to explain why it is so terrible will be confusing, and then bear in mind, working with the app is even worse. For example, it totally tries to own when and what I can study. It disappears my cards if it thinks I have studied them enough, forcing me to go and figure out how to put them back into the study session based on how many days to advance my "review" session. If I want to set up a custom study session to force it to allow me to study what I want, when I want, again it disappears the original deck - where I can no longer "browse" my list of cards, which btw, I have to do whenever I want to see a custom field because the app does not make it easy to add the field to the study deck. If none of this makes sense, then you are in the same boat I am in – only hopefully you haven’t put time and effort into creating a custom deck with this (cr)app.
The idea is pretty interesting, works very well but I have to complain about two things: 1) slow and sometimes buggy synchronization with server and 2) user interface could be more beautiful and more intuitive. When they fix those issues I'll change my vote to 5 stars.
