## What is Anki Note?

### 4/5 — Such huge potential.

*2023-02-14*

There are just a few bugs that prevent me from truly trusting my work in this. Highlighting in PDFs is broken in the sense that when first highlighted, the yellow is solid and you can't read the text that's highlighted until you change the color manually. The second is how often it crashes on me. Can't get developers to respond to my messages either.

### 1/5 — wrong impression

*2022-12-05*

I thought I could make anki cards from my actual notes app on my macbook with this app. Wrong.

### 3/5 — 导入anki文件不成功

*2022-11-05*

不知道是不是太大的原因200m左右

### 3/5 — App keeps crashing

*2022-10-16*

After getting to about 150 flashcards out of 500, the app crashes. There is no way i will click on the remaining 350 flashcards to review them.

There should also be a way to select specific flashcards. (Ex. cards numbered 120- 378)

### 5/5 — 很方便

*2022-09-29*

### 1/5 — Bad customer support!

*2022-09-20*

### 5/5 — Great for clincial references notebook

*2022-07-02*

Love how I can annotate a pdf, open it in Anki Notes, and it allow me to make screen shots and svave them as flashcards :). Great app!
