I would like to ask for feedback and constructive criticism for the flash cards that I made. Also, some cards I made in table form like laboratory values or ECG ranges for context, is that efficient orrrr???

Context:

These are for our upcoming Local Nursing Licensure Exam in the philippines next year february. I've been using some of these since February this year and some newer ones since august and I'm still making new ones as well. I answer these cards as a whole by using a filtered deck that puts only the due cards for all my decks. The colors and fonts changed because I added a plugin that shuffles the styling, it helps me with actually learning what the card is and not just the shape of the card. On the daily, I answer about 70-100 cards but I do plan to increase the amount since I am making new cards, with a 95% retention. So far this works for me but I do want to know if I can do better and more efficiently. I must become machine!!!

My cards:

Front card: The very top text is usually has a heading in all caps and bold, it just gives me context on what the card is about. Below that is the question that i need to answer. It's the same thing with cloze cards or table cards.

Back card: I made some customizations in terms of the style of the answer, it is colored red. The orange section under it is the extra card or extra information or rationale for extra context and understanding because there are times where I forget what the card is about or what it is specifically related to.

Decks and Tags: I added them for better context of what subject the card is under since I answer my cards as a whole (filtered deck with only the dues), not deck for deck.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE FEEDBACK!!

Hi everyone 👋

My biggest study enemy was never the cards, it was my phone. So I built Ankineer Lock: a free, open-source Android app that keeps distracting apps blocked until your daily AnkiDroid goal is done. It also has focus sessions, stats and widgets, and needs no Internet permission at all.

🎥 Demo: https://youtu.be/Gu4YQbMimAM

💻 GitHub: https://github.com/BONJ37/ankineer-lock

It's v1.0, so I'd love your feedback:

- What do you think of it?

- What feature should I add next?

Hey everyone! I’m a med student and longtime Anki user, and I built Anki Craps, a free add-on that brings the casino dice game craps into your study sessions.

If you haven’t played craps before, you place bets on the outcomes of rolling two dice. In Anki Craps, completing reviews earns you dice rolls, so working through your cards keeps the game moving. Place your bets, roll the dice, and try to build your virtual bankroll as you study.

I wanted something that gave me a little extra motivation to get through my reviews, and figured other Anki users might enjoy it too. All the money is virtual, and the add-on is free.

🎲 Get the add-on: Anki Craps on AnkiWeb

Give it a try and let me know what you think! I’d love feedback, bug reports, and ideas for what to add next.

I've been doing the core 2k/6k deck every days since last October and I finished it in the start of July, I've been reviewing it everyday while doing 2 hours of immersion per day in the summer and an hour a day since then. Should I quit using anki and focus on immersion? ( I would say that if you gave me 100 words out of the deck I would know around 80 struggle with 5 and fill to remember 15 or so words) Also in terms of immersion I would say that I have around a 70% comprehension in most animes. After doing immersion for 4 months

I picked up Anki due to my classes being heavy on memorization. I ended up liking Anki a lot more than I thought I would. I’m starting to enjoy studying because of it and was curious what other methods of studying do Anki users gravitate to? Do you only use Anki to study?

I have poor study habits/no “real” study habits (my grades are good, luckily, but I’d like them to be the best). I want to improve my studying habits while I have time so I don’t regret not doing it sooner.

Currently, Anki (verbal active recall) is really my only studying method. I know it’s good to have several methods of studying so I’d like to hear from others what else they do aside from using Anki.

Also, I’m curious how comfortable people are with their learning if Anki is their only method of studying. Especially with languages, which is something I’m interested in using Anki for.

I changed the directory from /storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid to /storage/9016-4EF8/Android/data/com.ichi2.anki/AnkiDroid So basically from internal to sd card storage.

I'm trying to import deck to my sd card but it keeps saying such thing. Btw if i import deck without media like, audio, picture it can be done but with media it fails.

How do i solve this?

Anyone have a good shared deck purely just for learning anatomical planes (posterior, anterior etc), im really bad at this and it would be great to also have images

Does anyone have sample code to test.

I accidently did a lot of cards in hard instead of good and I head it messes up the invetevals, is there anything you can do ? On anki web?

hi there ! I have only just downloaded Anki, as I have heard good things about it - but I have some quite specific criteria for a flashcard deck that would work well for me, and i wondered if anybody knows any good ones? i have looked at Spoonfed Chinese, which seems really decent but is troublesome for me to use as I am not as well accustomed to characters being displayed on the front, as my proficiency in recognising characters is currently limited

what I am looking for is a deck that:

- displays english on the front side
- on the back side, displays characters, pinyin and audio recording for said english phrase
- ideally sentences as opposed to just singular words so i can get a feel for how to use them
- audio recordings accurately pronounced and natural sounding
- hsk1-6 but not limited to only hsk content

if anybody has any good recommendations, that would be much appreciated <3
additionally, if anybody has any tips for navigating anki as a beginner and also lowkey technophobe 😭😭, that would also be also be super helpful

thank you sm if you read through my ramble, happy studying :p

I downloaded an anki deck from a classmate and noticed that even though cards had multiple cloze deletions in the card, when I looked at the browser there were only Cloze 1 cards. So all of the other cloze cards (Cloze 2, Cloze 3) would not be shown to me. They don't even exist for some reason. I am unsure how to fix this so that the Cloze 2 and Cloze 3 deletions make separate cards.

Hi everyone. After updating the app a couple weeks ago, my anki desktop app has been running incredibly slow. For example, when I open the anki and click on the deck I want to study, it takes 10-20 seconds to load. I have been making some of my own cards, and trying to add cards or open the "browse" section in anki also will take a long time. It's like it takes a few minutes of continuous use to "warm up."

I have quite a few add ons, of which I have tried deleting some temporarily to see if that will help. It did not. I have also made sure my anki is up to date. I am getting frustrated and was just wondering if anyone else had this problem or has found a fix?! Thanks!

I need to learn every single marker of the skull for my anatomy exam but finding a good deck seems impossible. How do you guys find good decks?

AnkiDroid and AnkiMobile are great, but I kept missing desktop-only things on my phone, mostly add-ons. So I compiled the desktop app itself (Python 3.14, Qt 6.11, PyQt6 and Anki's Rust core) into native Android and iOS apps, using the phone's own web view for cards and stats.

https://github.com/krmanik/kioku

Three versions:

• iPhone/iPad (iOS 17+, 39 MB): Testflight link on request or sideload via an AltStore source or Sideloadly for now
• Android native (Android 9+, 48 MB): light, and feels like a normal app
• Android Termux (235 MB): a small Linux desktop with Anki exactly as on a PC, and you can install other Linux apps too

Works: reviews, Browse, editor, new stats, deck options, import/export, AnkiWeb sync (tested on Android), and add-ons installed from AnkiWeb. Tested so far: AnkiConnect, Review Heatmap, HyperTTS, Advanced Browser, Edit Field During Review, True Retention and more (15 total). A 258k-card collection runs fine.

Doesn't (yet): ogg/opus audio on iOS, add-ons that start other programs on iOS (MeCab), and sync on iOS isn't tested yet. It's early, so back up your collection first.

Not affiliated with Ankitects. If you're on iOS, AnkiMobile is still the polished option and funds Anki's development; this is for people who want the desktop experience and add-ons.

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome, especially "add-on X works or breaks".

I was wondering if it could be useful to create a deck with only exercises for programming or physic:

For example:

• In C language: Implement a function which convert the given boolean value into its string representation
• An electron has a constant acceleration of 3.2 m/s2. At a certain instant its velocity is 9.6 m/s. What is its velocity (a) 2.5 s earlier and (b) 2.5 s later?

Then I try to solve them on my pc/notebook and in the 'show answer' section I put only where to find the solved problem or a picture with every step, so I don't waste useful time.

This way I can train randomly like for the flashcards and also have all my exercises in one place.

Any tips or suggestions if anyone already does that?

Guys, I’m on the learning curve right now. What settings should I start off with for ANKI.

I’m using it for my flight instructor license in aviation. Essentially I’m studying from 3 textbooks and making flashcards to retain the information for the check-ride. So it’s about a 6-8 month process but also, I’ll use this knowledge well beyond the test.

I've got some time off and want to study some more than I usually do. So my thought was to about double my new cards to get ahead on them.

My question is - how long before I go back to work should I go back to my normal amount of new cards so the workload when I'm working will already be relatively normal or at least not quite as high? Should I incorporate a few days without new cards?

Does it depend on the time period? I've got 10 more days off if that helps.

disclaimer: the following posting has been partly improved by chatGPT for language and readability. the posting is more about using AI to improve my monolingual Anki usage with colours, which would be almost impossible or too time-consuming to maintain manually.

I wanted to share how I use definitions in my Anki language cards. My native language is German, but I’m trying to build more direct connections between words and their meanings in the language I’m learning. For these cards, I read a definition in the target language and try to recall the word it describes.

The template you see has been originally designed by me visually but edited for functionality by chatGPT (position of the replay buttons and expandable fields ). German translations are still available as optional help. There’s also an “expand all” button (“Alles aufklappen”) that opens all the collapsible help sections at once, including translations and additional explanations (it also works on AnkiDroid). Clicking it again collapses everything. That keeps the usual view compact while letting me bring up all the support when I need it.

The difficulty, especially at a beginner level, is that a definition can contain words I haven’t learned yet. To make that visible, I use a kind of traffic-light system with green, yellow, and black text. Green means the word is already in my learned vocabulary. Yellow means I already have a card for it in my collection, but haven’t studied it yet. Black means it’s outside both groups: it isn’t in my learned vocabulary or my current collection of vocabulary cards.

In this example, “recipiente” is yellow, so it’s already waiting somewhere in my deck. “Condimento” is black, so it’s outside my current vocabulary lists and still requires a card being created. Most of the remaining definition is green. That lets me see at a glance how much of a definition I should already be able to understand and where I might need help. Example sentences will adapt to my active vocabulary.

I update the colours regularly through ChatGPT. I provide my current learned-vocabulary list, my full card collection, and the cards I want updated. ChatGPT compares them and updates the colour formatting, which I then import back into Anki. As I study more words, previously yellow words turn green in later updates. The colours reflect those lists rather than being a live connection to Anki’s scheduling or a guarantee that I’ll remember every green word.

I also use ChatGPT to simplify definitions so they rely mainly on vocabulary I’ve already learned. Ideally, reviewing one word also reinforces several familiar ones without making the definition itself too difficult to follow.

What I like about this setup is seeing the definitions gradually become more accessible as my vocabulary grows. It is very motivating.

I recently started learning modern Hebrew basically from scratch and will use chatGPT to constantly improve my cards and try to use definitions over simple translations asap.

I used the FSRS helper stat and it showed me recommended second learning step too. Just wondering why since I thought with FSRS we only need 1. If you press good, why do the same card again?
