A few days ago I found a flashcard software called iAnki, but it is not the original Anki for iPhone, but other programm. Has someone used it before? How does SRS system work (I mean, does it also exploit the forgetting curve properly)? Any comparison to original Anki?

sounds like they're taking advantage of Anki's popularity? not a good sign I think.

I downloaded it a while ago, not realising that it wasn't the real thing. I deleted it
soon after as it wasn't particularly user-friendly and just seemed like more trouble than it was worth - which says a lot, considering it's a free app. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I donwloaded as well when I got my ipad. It is just abusing anki's popularity, as was already said. Not too good. Sure, it may be free but 99% of the free apps are just a path to the paid features.

Could you elaborate? What do you mean by "wasn't particularly user-friendly". I gave it a try and haven't encountered any difficulty. The programme allows to type a word so that one can verify whether the spelling is right. On the other hand it has a major flaw - the number of new cards per day is not limited, which leads to situation, where one's forced to tackle 1000+ cards so that system can exploit the forgetting curve. I'm about to use it till monday and if this problem keeps occuring (being forced to review whole deck) I will switch to original anki (sheesh the time I've already wasted to put into the system ~150 card for each of my languages) Edited by theyweed on 12 September 2014 at 10:40pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Is there any way to export your cards? I don't think I would have even tried Anki if there wasn't any easy way to get data in and out. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yea, I guess a possibility exists, but one question arises, whether is it possible to
import to the original Anki an exported file from the fake one. I mean is it a same file type or something? Btw, do you know whether is it possible to use original Anki on multiple devices, notably when these devices are not from one producent? I mean I'm about to download Anki to iPod which I borrowed (I'll have to give it back someday), but then I'll probably buy a phone with Android (in about month or two, so I don't want to loose valuable two months of using SRS). As far as Apple is concerned it is possible to use Anki ID and for instance have the programme on both iPod and (hyphothetical iPhone/Pad whatever), isn't it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

See what formats are available for exporting in fake Anki, and what are available for importing in the real one.
yeah, Anki syncs your stuff all around. i think the ankidroid app is paid though. when you have internet access, you can use ankiweb too. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
