Excellent Flashcard Software
The spaced repetition and active learning are amongst some of the best learning methods out there. Fortunately Anki applies both of these principles. The ability to share decks is also a plus.
CONSThere is a steep learning curve when it comes to studying certain topics. Creating filtered decks is also a bit tricky. Some of the add ons also cause crashes. The IPhone app is also quite pricey whereas the android app is free.

Anki: a powerful tool for students
Anki’s claim to fame would definitely be promotion of active learning and spaced repetition. One of the best features of Anki, is that it recognizes a user’s weaker topics and repeats various concepts until a marked improvement Is detected. The interface also has various plug ins and powerful tools to ensure that the user meets their goal.
CONSAnki can be very intimidating and not very user friendly. It definitely took a couple of online tutorials to fully adjust to this app. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but it would be very rewarding once you figure out its functions. Creating decks can be a bit tricky so I do advise starting off with a pre made deck.

Anki helps keep my studying topics organized and is easy to use
I liked the organization of decks most about Anki. As a student in professional school it is easy to lose track of information especially when using flash cards or handwritten materials. Anki helps a lot with keeping my classes organized by semester and making the decks easily accessible so that I can return and review them efficiently.
CONSI have no complaints. From making your own decks to sharing decks with others, Anki makes the process easy and user friendly.

Not having attractive appearance but working well
It's cheap to try to set up your personalised sets of flashcards.
PROSIt's free to have this application installed in laptop but you need to pay to use it on mobile then everything will be syn and easy to access your lessons anywhere.
CONSIt's complicated to set up at first and the user interface looks so bad.

A nice flashcard application
What I like about Anki is that it has a very straight forward and simple user interface. I'm not a fan of complex, overly modern-ish designs, and I love the old school-kind of vibe the interface is giving. Next is of course, its space repetition feature that allows the users to better learn and memorize any terms they need. Anki is definitely one of my lifesavers when it comes to my term-packed subjects and of course, language learning. Lastly is how users can share their created decks to each other, saving the time of people trying to create the same deck with the same content. This is especially helpful for people learning any languages, as there are already tons of Anki decks available that they can start learning, rather than making.
CONSEven though the user interface is alright to me, it definitely doesn't hurt to be improved for a little bit. It isn't very beginner friendly to me when I first started, and I think it can definitely be better.

Love - Hate
This is great, though, and this is the hate, if you are not doing it everyday it piles up massively. There is no way to set it on "holiday mode" so if you take a break for a week from it there are piles of cards that you need to review again.But without this app I would have to be writing things down and Anki makes remembering it so much easier. This is definitely a must use for remembering vocabulary.
PROSAnki does such a great job of helping me to remember words from the language i am learning. It has great algorithms (that you can customise if you dare) that help you to remember the words you are having trouble by showing them to you more often while showing less the words you are remembering
CONSThe settings are not super easy to understand. As sometimes you might try to stop new flash cards from displaying from one deck and then realise that deck was in a group and now they all have stopped so you need to work things like that out. its just not always straight forward.

#1 Tool Any Lifelong Learner can Utilize
I have used Anki for countless large entrance exams and on a daily basis throughout my graduate studies. I am excited to see how AI will be integrated into Anki in the near future.
PROSAnki's open-source nature really allows each individual to customize everything they need it to be for each of their circumstances. I use countless add-ons that allow me to learn best as a dental student.
CONSAnki can be intimidating for first-time users, many classmates I work with use Quizlet as an alternative given that they just do not know how to get started with Anki.

Anki - A must have for learning effectively
Learning facts like what is A, it is B, is great with Anki! For example learning a new language. My experience is that it is easy to use, understand, and if something seems difficult to do like adding a public deck, just google it!
PROSThis tools lets the user download publicly available flashcard decks to learn certain subjects, languages etc. One can also create their own.I love how it gives the intervals for when your next revision of a flashcard will be, based on how hard you rate it.
CONSNot really anything I don't like. The only reason I don't use it for learning everything is lazyness and maybe due to not everything can be put into basic facts.

This software enables users to link to their Duolingo account and download vocabulary as it is learned. This is a huge help in completing my Duolingo Irish lessons.

Lo consiglio a tutti dai tempi del liceo!
top, davvero top, tutti quelli a cui l'ho consigliata hanno utilizzato e apprezzato
PROSè l'unico software che fa bene quello che un app di questo tipo fa. Semplice, intuitivo. L'algoritmo che fa sì che tutto venga appreso con questo software è da 1000/10! Davvero insostituibile, la uso per questioni personali, l'ho usata all'università per dare alcuni esami, prima ancora alle scuole superiori e ora anche per questioni lavorative o di produttività! sinceramente la userei anche se fosse a pagamento per cifre piuttosto alte, data la sua utilità
CONSbah, io la trovo assolutamente utile così com'è. se volessimo cercare il "pelo nell'uovo" forse graficamente non è il top del top, ma questo lo dico con formazione da grafica quindi è davvero un po' cercare il negativo nel dettaglio. per quanto mi interessa funziona bene.

Base, ma fa il suo lavoro molto bene.
Ha aiutato nell'apprendimento di terminologia, in lingue diverse, di alcuni processi di business che usiamo abitualmente.
PROSIl metodo di ripetizione mnemonica è ottimo ad esempio per espandere il proprio lessico quando si impara una lingua (è quello per cui lo uso). E' possibile creare flashcard in pochissimi secondi, creare diversi mazzi ed estendere la durata della sessione in pochi clic.
CONSUn'ottima feature da aggiungere sarebbe anche una funzione 'reverse', ovvero 'invertire' i due lati del mazzo. Questo farebbe sì che l'apprendimento diventasse meno mnemonico e ripetitivo, ma più impegnativo. Anche 'marcare' certe carte insieme (ad esempio in sottocategorie) sarebbe una ottima feature perché permetterebbe di affrontare insieme carte potenzialmente facili da confondere.

MUST-HAVE per lo studio
Sono molto soddisfatta, mi ha rivoluzionato il metodo di studio quando ancora non ne avevo uno.
PROSAnki è unica nel suo genere; è usata da molti studenti di università internazionali ad alti livelli (e.g. Cambridge) non solo per aiutare a passare l'esame, ma anche per costruire una memoria più solida nel tempo. Grazie al suo algoritmo per i giorni di ripetizione (secondo la teoria della "learning timeline"), rende possibile lo storage di un'informazione nella memoria a lungo termine. Così, assicura un apprendimento solido e non solamente finalizzato a diminuire lo stress da performance.
CONSSu computer è un po' difficile da usare e può richiedere molto tempo per creare le flashcards.

Spaced repetition software for semi-intensive/intensive language learning
Anki has a great community repository of language learning cards for many languages and fact intensive studies (biology etc). These are often taken from syllabuses directly so you can often focus on learning vocabulary for a specific level (Such as A1 French/German/Spanish). With intensive effort from a student, Anki can help improve student learning by managing what cards students have difficulty on and inserting them into a learning session until a student stops struggling.
CONSAnki as a tool can be hard for a student to get into and thus might be a difficult process without dedication. Anki requires repetition every day or even a few times per day depending on the dedication of the learner. A casual learner may be better with a tool that focusses on gamification such as Duolingo

Anki per l'apprendimento puro
Ciò che apprezzo di più di anki è la possibilità di fare autoapprendimento. Il mio metodo di studio grazie a quest'app è migliorato tantissimo. All'inizio non riuscivo a trovare nessuna app che mi offrisse una tale possibilità, ma da quando ho conosciuto anki la mia vita è completamente cambiata. Infatti, per me che utilizzo il richiamo attivo con la ripetizone spaziata nel tempo, anki è veramente perfetta
CONSAggiungerei dei video, ovvero delle guide per far comprendere meglio l'utilizzo di alcuni aspetti di anki che vanno oltre quelli più semplici come la creazione di mazzi

One of the best flash cards app
I really like it onces i use it for sometime because at first it was kind hard to use it.
PROSI like the system that it use to show the cards at a specific time to make sure that you really learn the content. In addition the fact that it let you copy other users cards so that you don't have to make them is really good if you don't have the time or will to do some of your own. Also all the features and functions that you can use in your card let you overcome the traditional flash card and make some really complex
CONSOne of the main reason i some times dont like to use this app is the overall look. For me is really plain and make it hard to star using it. Also the syncronization with other devices is kinda bad and slow.

Automatically arrange the flash cards for memory test. Interactive with the response from the test, and automatically consolidate the schedule for another test flash show.
CONSThe test response is not very easy to feedback, current it only have options icons, not friendly for pulling or slash on the touch screen. Most setup GUI is text only, not very interesting and active for focus.
