"Best Recall tool for Students"
What do you like best about Anki?

I use Anki primarily for recalls and revisions, and it has substantially improved my study process. As a student, I find Anki invaluable as it allows me to track my revision progress, which was a daunting task before I started using it. The freedom to use Anki anytime and anywhere enhances my study efficiency significantly. I am particularly fond of Anki's clean and visually appealing user interface. The minimalist design helps me stay focused on my revisions without any distracting elements in the app. Anki's features are precisely what I needed; the app intelligently determines when to show each flashcard. This optimizes my study time by preventing redundant repetitions of information that I already know, ensuring that I focus on the areas that need improvement. The ability to use both Anki's web application and AnkiDroid mobile application seamlessly further adds to its utility and convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

I find Anki's learning curve to be challenging, making it less intuitive for new users. It would be beneficial if the app could better explain how features work within it, as well as simplify learning its features quickly. Additionally, the initial setup was somewhat tough to understand despite becoming easier once I got the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome spaced-repetition learning tool"
What do you like best about Anki?

What I like about Anki is that it is really easy to use and configure. For someone like me, who can easily create a CSV file with a script or similar, it is great because Anki also allows to upload bulk data from files in a very versatile way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

The only thing I would improve is the notifications for AnkiDroid. I would like to receive notifications as soon as there are cards to review, but most of the time it does not notify me. So, I have made it a habit to constantly enter the application so I do not miss them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Anki: The best application for active recall and spaced repetition."
What do you like best about Anki?

What I like about Anki is that I can configure the back and front of the cards through CSS or WYSWYG style with a preview. I can also customize the flashcards on a large scale, not only can I add text, but I can include images, graphic information and audio in mp3 format; this is very favorable when creating and reviewing decks based on the method of comprehensible input and shadowing to learn a new language.

On the other hand, the option provided by Anki to install add-ons is wonderful; it allows me to use a great variety of online dictionaries and apply configurations and functions for each deck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

I have no objection to how Anki works; it is the tool I use the most when learning languages and new general information. Anki has a simple and excellent functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My favorite tool for learning!"
What do you like best about Anki?

Anki helps memorize and learn material for exams or school with ease. There are a variety of extensions and options for customizing your studying. I love my ability to switch from my laptop to my mobile app and continue studying wherever I am. Anki also offers a way to schedule a certain number of cards learned in a day to prevent cramming and promote long term learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

I find that sometimes for a beginner, Anki can be difficult to understand and use. However, there are several ways to learn, and over time you are able to customize your studying as you see fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"With this app you can learn anything!"
What do you like best about Anki?

I like best that I can learn anything with this app. Furthermore, I like that this app is optimized for every platform and regularly improves through its open-source approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

I hate most that the IOS app is not free and that its design differs much from the original desktop experience. And unfortunately, the app lacks a tutorial, so it's pretty challenging for beginners to set proper settings to get the most out of Anki. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As good as the hype"
What do you like best about Anki?

One of the big challenges of reaching high effectivity in language study is the simple fact that you have to gather the materials to study before you begin your study session. ANKI solves that by having the material all ready for you. just push study! it allows you to access other users' content. It saves you so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

My only complaint is a pretty small one I only simply wish that it would show you your statistics for all time by default rather than showing you statistics for the most recent day by Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Interactive study tool"
What do you like best about Anki?

The best part about Anki is that it repeats concepts until the user is confident in the material. The user can choose to repeat cards at different intervals, depending on what the user chooses. This feature is unique from competitors because Anki attempts to reinforce gaps in knowledge without repeating concepts the user fully understands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

The application has features that I am still trying to figure out what their purpose is. The settings seem so complicated, and it is not user-friendly. It isn't easy to tailor the decks to the user, so it would be more beneficial to have the ability to adjust the time a user spends on individual decks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Totally Awesome, Fit for Students"
What do you like best about Anki?

What I like best about this application is that it's very much easy to use and it's suitable for all students ranging from secondary to university, even in a call center where things change and you have to remeber. It allows me to stay on my A-game after studying a specific topic. Active memory at it's best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

What I dislike about this application is that it's not very pretty to look at and this can cause most students to deter from using thus though it comes with a lot of benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For brute force memorization"
What do you like best about Anki?

Spaced repitition is a proven method for recalling vast amounts of information. Anki is by far the easiest way to implement this method of study, and it has a ton of very powerful tools and plugins to help you get to where you need to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anki?

There definitely is a learning curve, so it can be intimidating to get started. I would definitely recommend looking for pre-made decks from trustworthy sources to get you started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
