### 1/5 — Rort

*2026-08-15, version 14.4.0*

Used to be good now locked behind a pay wall to get a basic app idea, flashcards shouldn’t cost $15 a month

### 5/5 — Brilliant for revision

*2026-08-07, version 14.3.0*

Amazing app, has helped me massively in A level physics where you absolutely must understand
The content in order to get to the higher marks, I would recommend to anyone. The ai generated flashcards save SOOO much time aswell. Amazing app, couldn’t do all this without it. On track for A’s btw

### 1/5 — Service keeps getting worse with each update.

*2026-08-07, version 14.3.0*

The maximum daily reviews for non-paying customers is being lowered with every single update. Today I did my review as normal and was stopped after 80 cards even though the daily limit was 100 cards before. Before it was 100 cards, I never even hit a limit. If you want people to pay to use your service, make it a paid service from the start.

### 1/5 — Not the real Anki

*2026-08-06, version 14.3.0*

This app is not the real Anki. They copied their name.

### 1/5 — Not Happy with New Update

*2026-08-06, version 14.2.1*

When I first started using your app a couple of years ago, I was very satisfied. But I noticed that every time you update it and make changes you create problems that were not there before. Currently I cannot edit my content if it extends more than a few lines because I cannot advance the screen upward to access it. Furthermore, it is no longer allowing me to copy and paste content. It allows me to paste it, but not save it. It just disappears. I have to type everything by hand. Please correct. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Très bien mais peut être améliorée

*2026-08-04*

Il faudrait à tout prix un mode révision basé sur un nombre de nouvelles cartes + des révisions des cartes non connues qui repassent en boucle jusqu’à ce qu’elles soient connues. Cela aiderait énormément pour l’apprentissage (comme sur AnkiDroid). Merci par avance pour la mise à jour !!

### 3/5 — Changed for the worse

*2026-08-02, version 14.2.0*

Since your last update, you have made it a lot harder to edit my content. If I have one line of entry, it is not a problem. But if I have a paragraph and need to scroll up to reach the area I need to edit, it does move. Please allow me to scroll upward to edit content. Thanks

### 5/5 — Über die Jahre stark verbessert

*2026-08-01*

Ich nutze die App seit ca. 3 Jahren, um für die Uni auf große Prüfungen zu lernen. Zu Beginn hat die App zwar ihre Aufgabe erledigt, aber sie war dabei definitiv noch ausbaufähig. Allerdings sind insbesondere im letzten Jahr wirklich einige große Updates gekommen, die die App wirklich unglaublich verbessert haben, und das auf allen Plattformen (Mac, iPad und iPhone). Mittlerweile kann ich die App definitiv empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Niceeeeeeee

*2026-07-26, version 13.3.2*

the best

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2026-07-26, version 13.3.2*

Love this app with everything i have. Used it for GCSEs using it now for my a-levels. I know people complain a lot about the premium package but tbh you don’t really need it. If you set yourself 100 cards as a daily goal, for me that’s an hour to an hour and a half a day so perfect for consistent revision. Tags are also incredible, dividing each cards into each subsection, i’ve done tags for the entire spec i love it. Strongly recommend if you need a free easy way to have repetitive spaced revision on your phone.
