The (paid!) iOS client has always been a disappointment to me, and I've long been jealous of the open source Android one.

I don't mind so much that it's paid, given how much use I get for the price, but it sucks knowing it sucks and not being able to help make it better.

I use the iOS app daily, and while it's not the prettiest thing in the world, it has nearly every feature of the desktop client, including full scripting support for card contents, which is amazing for things like collapsable elements and media. And, at the end of the day, it's about what you learn from using it that matters.

I've just bought it to support the developer, as it was according to his website his preferred way to support him.

Is it still 25$ price? Makes it impossible to recommend Anki to friends/students to "try spaced repetition".

  • Just have them use it on their computer or the web?

    It improved my grades so much in college that I spent the 25 bucks as a broke student so I could have it on my second hand iPad. This was before AnkiDroid even existed so it's amazing the price is still the same.
