### 1/5 — Wont import

*2026-07-19*

Thought I found an actual free alternative to Anki, but is useless since I can’t even import a CSV or APKG files. I tried multiple times, even tried minimally small test files…. still doesn’t work. Just stays on the uploading screen with no changes. I guess it may be good for manual creation, but loading in external files? Nah

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I'm sorry for the frustration it caused.

You ran into a genuine bug where importing CSV or APKG files could get stuck indefinitely on the loading screen without showing an error message. We've identified the issue and fixed it in our latest update.

We'd be grateful if you could update the app and try importing your files again. If you run into any further issues, please contact us through the in-app feedback feature and, if possible, attach the file you were trying to import. We'll investigate it promptly and make sure it's resolved.

Thank you for giving Deckbase a chance. We hope to earn back your trust.

### 1/5 — Not ready

*2026-06-07*

Try to replace Anki with this app. it crashes when trying to add an audio file

**Developer response:** Hi ShelleeNikole,

Thank you for reporting this. We identified the crash that occurred when adding audio files and have released a fix.

Please update to the latest version and try again. We'd love for you to give the app another shot as your Anki replacement!

If you still run into any issues, please reach out to us at hello@deckbase.co, and we'll be happy to help
