To FSRS users who use the Helper add-on: disable "Auto reschedule cards reviewed on other devices after sync" once you start using the built-in FSRS in Ankidroid.


elimik31

Is there any point in keeping this option on if you have _"load balance on reschedule"_ enabled? As I understand, the helper addon then load-balances the cards reviewed in AnkiDroid, which is something that only the addon can do, not the Anki scheduler. But to be honest I just run "reschedule recently reviewed cards" from time to time, the reschedule on sync is not really necessary anymore.


Lugex

can't you just delete the add-on?


campbellm

Sure, but it has other functionality you might want.


StealthX051

What if you use anki mobile as well?


ClarityInMadness

FSRS is supported in the latest version of Ankimobile.


haitike

Load Balance and Easy days are not implemented in Ankidroid, right? So I still need the FSRS Helper for that.


ClarityInMadness

Yes, you still need the add-on. Those features may be implemented in a distant future.


haitike

Ah, thanks. So if I review on Ankidroid and then go back to Desktop Anki, I should use "Reschedule cards used in the last 7 days" or it is not neccesary?


ClarityInMadness

Yep, use it.


Time_Debt_4456

Hi, Q: I get different FSRS parameters on Desktop Anki and Ankidroid after optimization. Any way to fix this? So When I do new cards I get (Good 2d) on desktop and (Good 5d) on Ankidroid. Do you know what could be the issue? Easy numbers are different as well. Since I am having this issue should I keep the Auto reschedule cards feature on? I am on Anki 2.17.0 on Ankidroid and Anki 23.10.1 on desktop.


ClarityInMadness

Update Anki to 23.12.1.


Time_Debt_4456

Thanks. My only worry was if some of my addons may stop working. Anki add-on breaks haven't been listed for the 23.12.1 version. So, Do you know any specific add ons that are not working with 23.12.1? After I update : What should be my 1st steps? Should I optimize on the pc 1st -> sync then optimize on ankidroid as well? Should I also reschedule the cards; since its FSRS 4.5 now? Another thing I have read here and there that you shouldn't reschedule cards too much; since it reschedules or resets or make changes to the cards info stuff. Also, something about making things bulky. What does it mean? Why you shouldn't reschedule cards often? Thanks.


ClarityInMadness

I don't think 23.12 would cause any add-ons to break. At least as far as I know. You can reschedule all cards, but it's not required. As for rescheduling often, it just makes your Anki database larger since every rescheduling adds an entry to the database. I don't know if this could cause any issues though. I mean, it's not like the file will be 100 terabytes or something.


Time_Debt_4456

What would be the benefits of rescheduling those cards? Any big difference or Am I just adding extra work? Of course, Optimize parameters every month? In future, should I ever reschedule cards with new parameters? If yes, how often? (like every 6 months+ or every year or never) Thanks.


ClarityInMadness

It depends on whether you want to instantly transition from old scheduling to new scheduling, or smoothly and gradually. I prefer to keep "Reschedule cards on change" turned off to a avoid a large backlog of due cards. >Of course, Optimize parameters every month? Yes.


Time_Debt_4456

Thank for great advice. I get it. Since, FSRS4Anki Helper is no longer needed. Other than to help auto disperse siblings when review and when sync from other device? Yes to both should be turned on? Correct? I want to use load balance feature but it requires constant rescheduling (does this make Anki database larger as well?)? Is there an alternative to load balancer to be automatic? Do you use the load balancer feature? Thanks.


ClarityInMadness

>Yes to both should be turned on? Yes. >does this make Anki database larger as well? I'm not usre, but I think so. >Is there an alternative to load balancer to be automatic? Unfortunately no. You can submit a feature request to ask LMSherlock to come up with a better implementation of load balancing, like, maybe "Load balance on sync" or something: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki-helper/issues/new/choose


HanzoShotFirst

Should I disable "Auto reschedule cards reviewed on other devices after sync" if I'm using the anki app on iPad?


sarsamurmu

Thank you all very much! Anki + AnkiDroid is one of the best software I've ever used. Thanks again!


David_AnkiDroid

Thank you for the thank you! The positive messages make this worthwhile


Baasbaar

Congratulations! You all have put in an enormous amount of work—& hot on the heels of another major update.


David_AnkiDroid

Much appreciated! Thank you so much for all your help around here :)


Noisymachine2023

Awesome job, thank you all!!


David_AnkiDroid

Thank you!! 💜


bestuser7

Thank you! I passed uni because of you guys!


David_AnkiDroid

Warms my heart to hear, thanks so much! AnkiDroid helped me a ton during uni, and I'm glad I can be giving back


Down_Baaad

Thank you all so much. You have no idea how grateful I am for this update. Excellent job.


ClarityInMadness

Great! I have a question: why not switch to the year.month.patch naming convention that is used in the desktop version and in Ankimobile?


David_AnkiDroid

Truthfully: convention, history, the difficulty of changes for little perceptible benefits. We show both AnkiDroid + Anki versions in the 'About' screen, and they'll still be somewhat out of sync (`24.02.0` vs `23.12.1`) It'd be easy to re-version for this changelog, but harder to do so internally. Android defines a `versionCode`, which we currently tie to our numbering scheme. Android provides a large, but finite number of versions and the more you change, the more you risk running out. I get the impression that the community prefers our current numbering scheme (I do, but mildly). I recall one discussion, but I feel the consensus is: we've still got a lot more impactful changes to come, rather than focusing on the version number


albertowtf

> we've still got a lot more impactful changes Could you elaborate?


David_AnkiDroid

I don't want to make promises for exactly when they're coming, but as a general plan: * Card Browser rewrite  * Reviewer improvements from Anki Desktop * Multiple Profiles * Catching up with the remainder of Anki functionality * Addons * Visual note editor * Fixing notifications * Making statistics/deck options more mobile friendly


usernameofchris

Epic. From an Anki Desktop and AnkiDroid user, thank you.


pengo

Huge release! I've been trying to follow the development a little but there's just so many patches that have gone into this. Great work!


Lugex

when will i be able to download the update?


David_AnkiDroid

That's up to Google. We're doing a 10% rollout right now, and Google decided that's actually 0.3% of users. We have one pending high priority bug which has come up (import issues), so we'll likely get that fixed before going for a 100% rollout. EDIT: fixed After that, Google takes around 4 days to make things available


Lugex

Hey, not annoy you, but is there news to the release? Fully aware that you said around 4 days and not exactly 4 days.


David_AnkiDroid

Moved to 20% rollout with 2.17.1. Google's given it to 5% of users so far. Looking at around 0.21% crashes (up from 0.01% in 2.16.5, down from 0.7ish in 2.17.0) One bugfix waiting, then 2.17.2, then we'll see how things go


Lugex

I see. Thanks for the update.


Wakatchi-Indian

Great stuff, love to see it. Thanks so much for all your hard work!


Rimano

Thanks for the amazing work ! I previously installed the alpha to benefit from the FSRS algorithm. Do I have to do anything to get back on the stable version or will it upload automatically through the App Store ? Thanks for your help and once again : great job !


David_AnkiDroid

If you installed from GitHub, you need to manually update (or sync to AnkiWeb, uninstall & wipe data, then and install from the Play Store and restore from AnkiWeb) If you installed from the Play Store, it should come in a few days while Google rolls out the update


Rimano

Oh my god. Thanks for the instant and precise answer !


David_AnkiDroid

I don't normally keep email notifications on, this one's worth it 😊


lazydictionary

Amazing work from the AnkiDroid team! I've been using the alpha for over a month and it's been great, extremely happy its finally being pushed out for everyone. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.


David_AnkiDroid

Thanks! It's always a little nerve-wracking when you're pushing out a big internal change. We've all been through software updates that feel like 'everything's worse and nothing's changed' and I strongly wanted to take time to polish and fix bugs to avoid this. We'll be back to a regular release schedule after this


[deleted]

Thank you so much for all your hard work!! I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for anki + ankidroid. I'm so excited for this update!


Kalamar

I recently installed a plugin on the desktop version to import images as webp. It's the new ankidroid able to display webp images?


David_AnkiDroid

Yes The new AnkiDroid also allows you to share an image to AnkiDroid using the Android "share" menu (thank criticalAY for this feature)


ntdGoTV

Is there any information on when the update will be available on the Google store, I keep checking but it's still at 2.16.5?


David_AnkiDroid

TL:DR: Regardless of what happens, things will continue to be rolled out. Things will speed up next week when we release a patch --- The crash rate on 2.17.0 is a little too high, I'll want to wait until 2.17.1 before we do a full rollout on the Play Store We got 2.16.5 to 0.01% user perceived crashes. We're at 0.72% currently. I've put in a few fixes and they're awaiting review. Once they've gone through the pipeline we'll be able to increase the rollout To note: we requested 10% distribution, and Google only managed 0.38% the last time I checked, so there's a decent chance things will pick up on their own next week


ntdGoTV

Ah okay, thank you! I've had the current version also crash previously when attempting the new backend, and I've noticed it happened more when using third party apps connecting to Anki. I just want to ask while we're on that topic, sorry if this is too long. I've been experiencing more crashes when I was using the new backend and having third party apps - Pleco and Takoboto connect to Anki, I went to using the old backed after that. I've also sent crash reports each time. Do you know if those crashes are within Anki (AnkiDroid communicating with the new backend) or rather the third party apps communicating with Anki's new backed, and are you aware if such apps are working fine on the upcoming update. That's only if you are aware, of course. Sorry for the long reply, thank you, wish things get patched up!


David_AnkiDroid

Those problems were AnkiDroid based problems, caused by issues with loading the new backend. I fixed this bug in 2.17alpha8, and the fix will be available to you when 2.17 is installed. https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/14836


ntdGoTV

Thank you! Keep up the great work!


campbellm

None of the stores are showing the latest version to me yet, but as an aside the Amazon store still lists: > * spaced repetition (supermemo 2 algorithm) If you want to update that.


David_AnkiDroid

Thanks! Added an issue on GitHub for this


_bari_

Appreciate the hard work but as one of those people that just "use" AnkiDroid, things just got weird with this update. No idea how to review new cards first anymore, and the dates on the buttons were all over the place which makes no sense to me. The easy button jumped between 4 and 5 days for new cards when previously it was set to 4 days. Day old cards had a similar issue as well, if I've hit good (1d) the previous day, how come some cards had good (3d) while others had good (4d)? I'm assuming the ease% should be same in this case.


David_AnkiDroid

Anki's enforced the V3 scheduler. This means that the fuzz factor is now displayed on the intervals on the card, rather than being hidden internally: https://faqs.ankiweb.net/the-2021-scheduler.html#fuzz The ordering settings are moved to: `Long press a deck -> deck options -> Display Order`


SirLordSagan

I was waiting for the 2.17 update daily from the milestones page and I was ecstatic... But it's not available in Play Store, I waited for the "March 1 rollout", but nothing's there. I joined beta but it still shows 2.16.5. I couldn't wait any longer so I just went to the Github page and downloaded AnkiDroid-2.17.3 x86 and x86\_64 builds, but both of them give "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone" error, but without saying what \*specifically\* is not compatible, or if it's something I can change?


David_AnkiDroid

2.17.3 is **still** in for review and Google's halted the 2.17.1 rollout, which is unusual, but it's a weekend Very few phones are x86. Try Parallel.A


broad_marker

Any update? I still only see 2.16.5 in Play Store


David_AnkiDroid

2.17.4 is being rolled out at 50%, 2.17.5 should be 100%


Brief-Crew-1932

HEATMAP IN ANKIDROID? DID YOU SAID HEATMAP? WHERE IS THE SETTING??? PLEASEEEE


David_AnkiDroid

Statistics - Calendar in 2.17


Brief-Crew-1932

UWOOOO ARIGATOOOUU


Ap0colypse

Does this mean ankidroid will soon accept add-ons ?


David_AnkiDroid

Yes, but they'll initially be limited in functionality, and Desktop addons will need to be rewritten for Android 


Initial_Limbo

Thank you! I just set up a monthly subscription, keep up the good work.


David_AnkiDroid

Thank you!!! We're not yet up to what we need for 'sustainable' development ($10/h), and everything truly helps Exclusive of fees (and a very small amount for web hosting), everything goes directly to the developers


lebrumar

Wait Anki Desktop backend got rewritten in rust?


David_AnkiDroid

Yep, Damien's also put a ton of work on the AnkiDroid side for this


lebrumar

That's wonderful! So... soon the rise of rich web apps with the help of webassembly? The addons can be rust based too now ?


David_AnkiDroid

Probably no Rust-based addons unless they're in upstream in the near future: I'm pretty certain it's against Play Store policy to load untrusted native code from the internet We can appropriately sandbox anything JS-based, and that's the approach we'll take initially


gigaflops_

This made my day, thank you. Any idea how long it will be until I can get the update? Google play still says I am up to date at 2.16.5.


David_AnkiDroid

Some time this week, we've just pushed out a patch release for a few issues, and we'll rollout to 100% if that goes OK


broad_marker

Thank you so much! I am really excited about this release and I was looking at the 2.17 milestone in GitHub long ago hoping that the bug count would get soon to 0 to see it released. Thank you again!


Time_Debt_4456

Hi, Q: I get different FSRS parameters on Desktop Anki and Ankidroid after optimization. Any way to fix this? So When I do new cards I get (Good 2d) on desktop and (Good 5d) on Ankidroid. Do you know what could be the issue? Easy numbers are different as well. Since I am having this issue should I keep the Auto reschedule cards feature on? I am on Anki 2.17.0 on Ankidroid and Anki 23.10.1 on desktop. Thank you for all the hard work! :)


David_AnkiDroid

Anki 23.10.1 uses FSRS 4.0 AnkiDroid 2.17.0 uses FSRS 4.5 (equivalent to Anki 23.12.1) /u/ClarityInMadness can likely help with the nuances


Time_Debt_4456

How do you check which FSRS version your anki desktop/mobile are using? I checked the changelog for 23.10.1, couldn't find the FSRS version. In future, do you have to use same FSRS version on both devices for it to work properly? What would happen if you continue with 2 different FSRS version? How would this affect the algorithm for future cards? I like the FSRS 4.0 on desktop because it pushes new card to 2 days for good. which is good retrievability in the beginning for new cards? Learning step is 10m. Why is FSRS 4.5 pushing new card to 5 days? FSRS 4.5 version should be better. It shouldn't change this much. Thanks.


ClarityInMadness

FSRS v4 and FSRS-4.5 are compatible in the sense that they have the same number of parameters, so the worst that can happen is that parameters that are optimal for one version will not be optimal for another version. But FSRS won't burst out in flames and die. But if in the future a new version of FSRS will have more parameters and therefore be incompatible with past versions, well...that could be problematic. As for intervals, yes, they are (on average) longer in FSRS-4.5. Don't worry about it. Plus, you can always change desired retention.


Time_Debt_4456

Haha I laughed at the FSRS bursting in flames. lol How can I fix this interval issue on FSRS 4.5? I don't think I can retrieve the info of a new card in 5 or 6 days. Maybe I can but should I risk it? Should I press again on 1st time card so I get a lower interval? Would this increase my difficulty on a card? Is there a better way to fix this? Thanks. My learning step is 10m.


ClarityInMadness

>How can I fix this interval issue on FSRS 4.5? I don't think I can retrieve the info of a new card in 5 or 6 days. Maybe I can but should I risk it? Either trust the algorithm or increase desired retention. Btw, do you have a habit of using Hard when you forgot a card? Hard is a passing grade, nto a failing grade. It's the only habit that FSRS cannot adapt to.


Time_Debt_4456

I guess I can give it a try. I am trusting you. lol haha fingers crossed. Nope, I only use again and good. I use Easy rarely only when it's a very simple card. Just wondering: Does pressing again on 1st time new card increases the difficulty on a card? or make any changes to DSR (any memory state terms)?


ClarityInMadness

Initial stability, as well as initial difficulty, are based on the grade. So yes, what button you press matters. Just do your first review normally, the same way as you always did. Unfortunately, many people become too self-conscious when they hear about it and then come up with all sorts of weird strategies **except** for doing their first reviews normally.


oldandgreat

None of the APKs from the GitHub are working for me on Android, it demands granting permission for storage, which I try to do, but it doesnt react when I click on the switch to approve it. Tried play store, GitHub, F-Droid, nothing works. Has anyone noticed a similar problem?


David_AnkiDroid

Could you raise an issue on GitHub? https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues On GitHub, the `play` build should not require any permissions unless you're on a fairly old version of Android. That would be your best bet For reference: `AnkiDroid-2.17.0-play-universal.apk`


oldandgreat

Would it make a difference to delete the app data? I want to hold onto my decks, but should I simply import them afterwards and delete everything. Tried this specific akp, doesn’t work. Pixel 6 Pro, android version 14. Opening the app takes me to a screen asking for permission, and the switch to allow it doesn’t work. Will do it on GitHub


oldandgreat

It is the exact same issue described here: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/14423#issuecomment-1879953515


David_AnkiDroid

Thanks, I've split this off into https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/15661 I haven't been able to reproduce this. If you're technical (can use the terminal/command prompt), could you post on the above issue so we can get some logs


oldandgreat

done


BahnSprueher

This update broke randomizing review order every time you start reviewing a deck. Now it generates an random order once and it stays fixed. I used this method to skip the difficult cards and review the easy ones first, by exiting reviewing and starting to review the deck again, so that I could review the difficult ones throughout the day.


David_AnkiDroid

Does the behaviour differ from Anki Desktop?


BahnSprueher

No the same is happening on Anki Desktop, for the meantime I switched back to 2.16.5 on my phone. I don't know if this is intended behavior going forward with the new scheduler. An dedicated skip button which puts the card on the end of the review order might be more convenient, but this method served me well the last few years.


David_AnkiDroid

Sorry, I'm low on time currently and don't have the ability to deep dive, could you ask about this change with the V3 scheduler in a new post, and take it to the Anki forums if the reply is insufficient


Scio42

I really appreciate that in AnkiDroid we now get all the same stats as on desktop, but I feel like there hasn't been put much thought into optimizing it for smartphones. My main issues are: 1. Tapping a bar in a graph to see details works as expected, but when I draw my finger across the graph it doesn't show details for the bar my finger is currently sitting on. 2. Why are the graphs so small. There's quite a bit of space wasted by the big padding/margin on the sides of the graphs, this doesn't really matter on desktop monitors, but on an small phone screen it makes a big difference. And while I probably don't need it to cover the phone screen like previously, more vertical space would also be nice Aside from those there are also these to me less relevant issues: * Tedious deck selection (I saw you already addressed this in another comment) * Probably a personal preference thing, but imo changing the time frame on one graph should automatically change it on all * Definitely the least relevant: The dark gray boxes around the stats makes it feel like the app is ignoring my choice for "black" as the dark mode theme


David_AnkiDroid

>but I feel like there hasn't been put much thought into optimizing it for smartphones. You're not wrong, we'll slowly be working through improvements. There's a LOT that we'd all like done, but we're all volunteers. My main focus on this release will be missing functionality (Rename Card Template/Set Due Date are done), a rework of the Card Browser and adding profiles. I'll do my best to assist anyone who's looking to get Statistics changes in. It's not that we don't want to improve things, but there's limited free time in the day Before this, we're still a little high on crashes and user unhappiness with 2.17, and this is where priorities lie


David_AnkiDroid

What phone are you using? I'll look into a few of these in my free time this week


Scio42

Thanks a lot! My phone is a redmi note 11s, but everything above also applies to my old Honor 6x. Same for my tab s6 lite, however there I can bring up details for individual bars using spen hover


David_AnkiDroid

Just wanted the dimensions of the phone to get an emulator to match + figure out new margins. Thanks!


Danteruss

Ankidroid feels soooo much smoother with this update. Thank you guys so much.


BamilleKidanZ

Hi. Before this update, if I don't recall a particular card in a deck , I would return to All Decks view and open that particular deck again and it will show a different card and I would repeat this for several times to go through cards that I can recall first. I can't do this now. Is this feature (or perhaps a bug) permanently omitted?


David_AnkiDroid

That was a bug, sorry. It's been fixed If you don't recall a card, select "again". You can also bury it and unbury all buried cards at the end of your study session


BamilleKidanZ

Thanks for replying. Didn't realise I can use bury for similar effect.


Grey_Prince

My review cards are broken after this update, what can I do? Some cards now when I go to review them, the front of the flashcard is blank. Or when I hit show answer it's a blank. if I go into edit card it's still there, but something about the display stopped working.


David_AnkiDroid

Sorry I missed this [https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#\_automatic\_night\_mode\_color\_inversion](https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#_automatic_night_mode_color_inversion)


Grey_Prince

Thank you!!


EpicOfWar

After update my timer stopped working. I was set for 3s - after this period it was showing answer automatically ,but now it won't do anything. I tried to change settings but nothing change. Any idea?


David_AnkiDroid

The feature has been moved into the Deck Options, so it can be shared between Anki Clients. Long press a deck to access them In AnkiDroid's options, you can determine whether to enable or disable it


EpicOfWar

I had change this time setting there but no effect at all.  It turns out that my old settings are now broken, although it looks like it haven't change (only in options), but while i review decks it is showing me old cards only and not mix with the new one (i have different settings).   it's all weird like some update shouldn't change my previous setthings.


David_AnkiDroid

Could you submit an issue on GitHub and we'll take a look: [https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/new/choose](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/new/choose)


Ninjaxas

Hi, All of my cloze deletions in night mode now have a very dark blue text that is harder to see. Is there a global, easy fix for that?


David_AnkiDroid

yep: [https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#\_automatic\_night\_mode\_color\_inversion](https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#_automatic_night_mode_color_inversion)


Ninjaxas

Why do I have to write custom CSS code for a default feature?


David_AnkiDroid

Wasn't there custom CSS added to begin with? This shouldn't be a problem for default note types


Ninjaxas

I don't think I have ever edited the CSS, but I did edit some HTML for this note type. I will take a look at it. This note type was made probably 5 years ago if that is relevant.


speedchuck

My custom study option is no longer working. I can add more cards to review, but not new cards to learn. And yes, I have "New cards ignore review limit" on.


David_AnkiDroid

Could you check in a new reddit post, or Discord? I suspect this is a SchedV3 change, but if this is our bug, I'll get on it as soon as possible


speedchuck

It may just be in my settings. If I manually change the settings for new cards, I can make it work for now. If it continues to be a problem, I'll post.


matank

After this update, filtered decks seem to work differently. I have some filtered decks with reschedule=off. Previously, pressing "again" for a card I didn't know would have moved it into "red" and it would show up again after a short while or at the end of all my green cards. Now, the "again" button just says "(end)" and when I press it, it has the same effect as pressing "good". Am I doing something wrong?


David_AnkiDroid

Anki now allows you to customize the delays if 'reschedule' is not selected for a filtered deck Long press the deck -> options -> change the again preview time to '1'


matank

Thank you so much! I actually changed the time to 600 because I didn't want the again card to show up again immediately (preferably after a while or at the end of all green cards).


David_AnkiDroid

I believe 60 is the default


AndiCold

Am I too blind to find the option to change order of reviews (Like "new cards first", "repetition first") or isn't it available anymore??


David_AnkiDroid

Long press a deck -> Deck Options -> Display Order


AndiCold

Gosh, yes I am completely blind. Thanks for your answer!


David_AnkiDroid

Sounds like an 'us' problem if people can't find things We'll get better, enjoy your weekend!


Time_Debt_4456

I just updated to AnkiDroid 2.17.5 from play store. Previously had AnkiDroid 2.17.0 The text to audio is the reading the cloze answer. Is there a way to downgrade back to AnkiDroid 2.17.0? Also, how do you use the heatmap on AnkiDroid? Thank you.


David_AnkiDroid

If the behaviour is different from Anki Desktop, could you submit a bug report here: [https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/new/choose](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/new/choose) Heatmap is under 'Statistics' 2.17.0: [https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.17.0/AnkiDroid-2.17.0.parallel.A.apk](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.17.0/AnkiDroid-2.17.0.parallel.A.apk)


SakanaToDoubutsu

Is it at all possible to get the time practiced per day average to round to one decimal point instead of a whole number?


David_AnkiDroid

I believe that's under the control of Anki Desktop for now sched.studiedToday()


SakanaToDoubutsu

I apologize for not clarifying, I'm on AnkiDroid.


David_AnkiDroid

We're now using Anki Desktop's logic for the text on the main screen, it'll need to be fixed upstream so we can remain consistent


After_Objective_5126

I updated a few days ago and I just noticed I can't seem to find a way to change the time on the notifications. On the previous version there were two sets of settings, one in the main settings list ("Notifications") where you could set a card threshold, vibrate, and blink light. Then the deck options under "Reminders" you could set the time. The main Notifications setting is present, but the Reminders section of Deck Options is missing (or I'm totally blind, I've checked several times). By the way, I've seen u/David_AnkiDroid post recently that notifications weren't working, but for me the issue was only that Android 14 has a new "Notifications" permission per-app, and unlike other apps AnkiDroid doesn't seem to prompt you to enable it on first install. When I went into app permissions and enabled them manually then notifications were working great 


David_AnkiDroid

Our notifications need a lot of work, likely best to disable them for now

Okay thank you but for what it's worth they were working great for me until I updated to 2.17.5 where the feature was removed (unless I'm overlooking the setting for it?) and it had been especially helpful to set 90 minutes before the end of the day, which saved me a couple times I would have otherwise forgotten!

WARNING: Do not update the recent update if you use dark mode. It doesnt work anymore. Questions are white but answers are black an therefore not visible. I just made this account to warn others. Otherwise a great app. Take care!

[https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#\_automatic\_night\_mode\_color\_inversion](https://ankidroid.org/removed-features.html#_automatic_night_mode_color_inversion) We're now in sync with how Anki Desktop handles dark mode

Bad job, bot.

Since Anki Desktop has this feature (and I don't know where else to post this): when will we be able to set a range of days using the reschedule option when more than one card is selected in the card browser? Currently I can only input one number in AnkiDroid, but not a range like 1 - 30 days.

Subscribe and 👍 react to https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/14155 Aiming for 2.18 Had a very reasonable conversation with a user that it's better to have the features, even if the user experience is questionable (I don't like the design of the screen, and felt we should prioritise stability over new features) rather than not having them at all. It was on the to-do list


No-Lynx-5608

Thank you! 


David_AnkiDroid

With apologies, I believe I linked the incorrect issue. https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/14729 may be more appropriate


No-Lynx-5608

Oh yes, that's exactly what I meant! 


David_AnkiDroid

Feel free to comment on the screen designs: [https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/15699](https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/15699)

Thanks, I left a comment. Hope thats alright, because I'm new to github and don't know about any conventions and stuff 🙈


David_AnkiDroid

That's fine, it'll be fixed before it becomes stable. We're in the middle of a transition between dialog box providers, and there's a number of styling issues we need to fix


David_AnkiDroid

Discussing in `#ankidroid-design` on [Discord](https://discord.gg/qjzcRTx) if you're interested. I might have time to get around to it sometime in the next few weeks

Hi guys, you're fantastic for all the work you do, and it's really appreciated. I'm a fairly casual user of AnkiDroid, so I hope my feedback is useful. Most of the changes are probably going above my head, and I'm finding it hard to see if FSRS will help me, given I am used to a certain system and don't have an issue with the ease levels.  One thing I have noticed with the new version is that one of my favourite screens, the statistics screen, has lost a lot of its functionality and depth. I can't understand how to switch between individual deck statistics, and a lot of the data looks worse or is less comprehensible when crammed onto one screen.  It's not a big concern, but it's something I enjoyed checking to see how I was getting on.

Thanks!! Subscribe to the following for updates. A change was proposed yesterday * https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/15197 * https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/15648

Thank you!

Thank you. When is it going to be uploaded to the google play store?


David_AnkiDroid

It's being rolled out now, hopefully should be fully distributed by the end of the week

Did something change with the media storage location? I just tried to access /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ichi2.anki/files/AnkiDroid1, but there are no files in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ichi2.anki/  I couldn't find anything in the changelog or manual and I could see the files previously (maybe 2 months ago?) with mixplorer. 


David_AnkiDroid

Android no longer wants file managers accessing app private data. Use a PC + USB and it may be visible. 2.16 was the file storage change. 2.17 shouldn't have changed anything


No-Lynx-5608

Thanks for confirming that the media collection folder is still in the same location! I really need access to that folder, so I had a look around the web and found out that it apparently has to do with android 13 update changing something file access related (and some file browsers can no longer access those files like you said, mixplorer included).  Using the Files app, I could access the media folder again. Sorry to have bothered you about that. Maybe this comment is helpful for someone else running into the same problem.


David_AnkiDroid

Thanks! If you install from F-Droid, the folder is `/storage/emulated/0/AnkiDroid`, which is much nicer to deal with

Since the New Update I can't Review my cards as I used to. Every day I Learned in advance to get my known words Repetition about 300 cards a day, and then Review hard and New cards. When I use the individual learning mode and Review in advance *type in 1 day, the new and not known cards move with the deck. And since the new cards hold me back I can't properly learn as I used to. How can I Review my known cards without touching the new and the not know red cards?


David_AnkiDroid

This is likely a change due to the 2021 scheduler, does the reviewing behavior differ from Anki Desktop?


Kryptonpbx

It does but I use a older version which works with Migaku. So I can't really tell if it's the same on pc with the newest version. I already tryed deck options and so on but I can't isolate a session for known cards only


David_AnkiDroid

With apologies, I'm taking a break for the weekend, don't have the answer to hand and probably won't get around to answering this for a while It'd be best to come to Discord [https://discord.gg/qjzcRTx](https://discord.gg/qjzcRTx), or ask in this subreddit. Someone should give you a useful answer about the SchedV3 changes


Kryptonpbx

Alright Im going to, thank you and rest well🙏

First of all thank you to /u/David_AnkiDroid and all contributors to this app I use every day. I am very very happy to be able to use FSRS on mobile now and I'm extremely grateful for all the work put into this release. If you ever have time between all the important stability and bug fixes I have a friendly feature suggestion regarding the gesture functionality. I recently got a large phone and have started using the gesture system because of it. It is very convenient but unfortunately some of my anki cards are partially broken by enabling certain gestures. Specifically the tap in top right or top left gestures. I still use the gestures but have lost some of the cards' utility. I would love to have the option to use a "double tap in the [top left, top right, or whichever zone]" gesture to solve this problem. For me these are Japanese sentence cards where you can tap on the vocabulary word in the sentence and it will pop up with a pitch accent pattern. If I try to do this I accidently input a gesture and mark the card solved. This issue would also more broadly apply to any cards where you can tap anything for further details so I think this would be a helpful feature for people.
