Needs major work for images
★ · v25.09 · Oct 8, 2026
Images just don’t load. When I’m using the desktop version, everything is working great. The app has some sort of server download issue for images where it just doesn’t download them and labels them as missing.
Abysmal, steep learning curve
★ · v25.09 · Sep 29, 2026
If you want something simple, accessible, and user friendly, do not get this app. For the most basic language vocabulary you have to comb through tens of thousands of decks made by random people full of mistakes with thousands of cards. There is no simple “top 300 most common words” in a foreign language for example. And you have to leave the app, use a browser to comb through a junky insensible list, download a deck, and then it might not even import to the app correctly. Waste of money.
Refund needed

I downloaded by mistake thinking this would generate cards I need my money back !
Terrible
★ · v25.09 · Aug 14, 2026
Way worse than AnkiDroid. Completely unusable and searching through tags is impossible
They want to sell you cards
★ · v25.09 · Aug 12, 2026
Not how to actually use it. Waste of money
Will not work after purchasing
★ · v25.09 · Aug 3, 2026
This will not let me log into my log in despite resetting my password several times and confirming the correct log in on my computer. There’s clearly a glitch in the app but I paid $25 for it and can’t even use it.
Insanely confusing UX
★ · v25.09 · Jul 30, 2026
You basically have to study the app guid to use it. Nothing is intuitive. I haven’t used a mobile app this poorly designed in 15yrs.
Horrible complicated app
★ · v25.09 · Jul 12, 2026
The worst app ever
Don’t use!
★ · v25.09 · Jul 10, 2026
This app is not helpful at all!
Awful
★ · v25.09 · Jul 6, 2026
Possibly one of the worst UIs I’ve ever used. Hopefully it improves and the 20 bucks I spent on it will be worth it but for now I’m deleting it. Total waste of money.
Horrible App
★ · v25.09 · Jun 27, 2026
To much settings. Just make it simple! It’s not that deep. What a waste of money.
Flash cards
★ · v25.09 · Jun 21, 2026
Horrible app
artificially limited on phone
★ · v25.09 · Jun 20, 2026
I bought this app so I could freely edit my cards without being tethered to a computer.
So why are all the complex edited options locked behind a computer edition?
Why is the only paid version of the app less effective than the PC?
Scam
★ · v25.09 · Jun 19, 2026
This app is an absolute scam.
Do not purchase. You will not get what you’re looking for. It’s an absolute scam. Just buy real flash cards. This app is pure fraud
Unusable
★ · v25.09 · Jun 19, 2026
Literally I don't understand how to use it, where do I go, it's the most user unfriendly app. Wasted $25.
Archaic User interface
★★ · v25.09 · Jun 12, 2026
The app is good and works well which is why it is not 1 star . However it is just ancient, it seems like you have to be a computer scientist in order to just get things where they need to be on this app . My cards recently deleted and I cannot find them , I don’t even know if I have hope just because the app is so ancient 🤦🏽♂️.
Unusable app and middle finger from support
★ · v25.09 · Jun 6, 2026
Here’s the response from support. I purchased the app and it just fails.

Great, then hopefully you can figure out what was different about your connection that time.
Not worth it
★ · v25.09 · May 25, 2026
25 bucks waste
Every time I synchronize it deletes all the decks I created
★ · v25.09 · May 9, 2026
Got the paid version for iPhone, and unfortunately every time I sync, it deletes the decks I created on my phone. It is not set to delete anything, only to sync. I’ve been making updates and want both laptop and phone versions of the deck to be correct, but at this pace I have to make a backup every time right before I sync because I expect it to delete all my stuff. Pain in the nose. Also, set to backup every 30 minutes but goes hours without backing up. And the count of my cards for the deck being created does not show correctly (still shows 14 when I have 30 already). Hoping the dev team works on these things for the paid version.
Terrible on Mobile IOS
★ · v25.09 · May 7, 2026
Do not recommend this app for Mobile IOS users.
I purchased and downloaded AnkiMobile in my iPhone and iPad but the experience has been nothing but terrible. Interface is not user friendly and very glitchy. New cards don’t refresh daily so I have to wait days to see new cards and the “custom study” option is inoperative altogether. Therefore, I can’t study new cards nor old ones.
I emphasize, stay way from this app. And I would like a refund.
Very complicated app
★ · v25.09 · May 6, 2026
Extremely complicated app, after I review my flash cards, they disappear and I can’t continue studying them until a specific amount of time has passed. Waste of money I will be requesting a refund.
Overcharged
★ · v25.09 · May 5, 2026
Claims to be 25 dollars but decided to charge my account 50. This is incredibly scummy if intentional. Otherwise great app… I hope this is just a mistake on apples part.
It’s supposed to be free
★ · v25.09 · Apr 27, 2026
Why are you charging for this now? It’s supposed to be free, it was always free and was intended to be free
Real disappointed
Doesn’t Work
★ · v25.09 · Apr 25, 2026
Cannot retrieve any information
Syncing is terrible
★ · v25.09 · Apr 5, 2026
The app refuses to sync, telling me something - but not what - is too large. Doesn’t matter what I delete.
For $25 I would expect this very basic functionality to work, and it doesn’t. Disappointing.
