Deck Lens vs Drill

Study smarter, not harder. Deck Lens is a clean, focused flashcard app built for learners who love Anki but want a more modern experience on their phone. Import your existing Anki decks, study with proven spaced repetition, and watch your progress grow — all without the clutter. Import Your Anki Decks Instantly Already have .apkg files? Just open them in Deck Lens. Your cards, media, and deck structure come along for the ride. Switching from Anki has never been easier. Spaced Repetition That Works Deck Lens uses the SM-2 algorithm — the same proven system behind Anki — to schedule your reviews at the perfect time. Rate each card as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the app handles the rest. You'll see exactly when each card comes back before you tap. A Study Experience You'll Actually Enjoy Flip through cards with smooth animations, track your session progress, and get a summary when you're done. Set daily review limits so you never feel overwhelmed. Swipe Mode Prefer gestures? Swipe through your cards for a fast, tactile study flow. Know Where You Stand Check your stats anytime: review heatmap, retention rate, streak counter, and cards broken down by status (new, learning, review). See what's working and where to focus. Create and Edit Your Own Decks Build flashcards from scratch or tweak imported ones. Deck Lens supports rich card content so your notes look the way you want. Export and Share Export any deck back to .apkg format and share it with friends, classmates, or your other devices. Your data is always yours. Available in English, German, and Turkish. Whether you're learning a new language, studying for exams, or memorizing anything else — Deck Lens gives you the tools to make it stick.

Drill is a flashcard app that schedules each card with spaced repetition, so you review a card right before you would forget it — not every day, not never. BRING YOUR DECKS • Import .apkg files (Anki's export format). Decks, cards, images and your existing schedule come along. • Import the same file again later: cards you already have keep their schedule, edited cards get their new text, nothing is duplicated. • Turn text into cards: paste a list, a CSV, a Quizlet export or your Kindle highlights, and Drill reads the pairs. • Export everything as one zip and bring it back on another iPhone — schedules included. Or share a single deck as a file that opens straight in Drill. • Three sample decks, so you can try the app before importing anything. STUDY • Open the app, tap Study now: the first card is two taps away. • Again, Hard, Good, Easy — each button shows when you will see the card next. • Undo the last answer. Flag a card to come back to it later. • A daily reminder tells you how many cards are waiting — and stays quiet on days you have already studied. • Every answer is saved the moment you tap it. Quit mid-session, come back, and the same card is waiting. • The study day rolls over at 04:00, so a late-night session still counts for today. • Your streak, today's numbers, a forecast of upcoming reviews and a review heatmap. • Works entirely offline. No account. No ads. No server of ours. MAKE CARDS • Question and answer. Reversed pairs (one entry, two cards). Cloze deletions. A picture. A voice clip. • Or paste a passage — or pick a photo of a page — and let Drill draft question–answer cards on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Split a card that tries to say too much into smaller ones the same way. (Drill Pro; needs iPhone 15 Pro or later and iOS 26.) DRILL PRO — one purchase, not a subscription • Unlimited decks (three without Pro; every deck you already have stays learnable). • Cards from a passage or a photo, on device. • Monthly stats, and a 91-day heatmap instead of 7. • A home-screen widget with your streak and the decks that are due, and a Live Activity that counts your session on the Lock Screen. • Session mode, per-deck daily limits, your own rollover hour, and the FSRS scheduler as an alternative to SM-2. • More than one picture per card. Importing, exporting and studying — every card, every schedule — are always included.
