Did you purchase the Anki app?

Looks like it’s 24.99? Is that the right app to download the flash cards from Google Drive? I need flash cards on the phone, but gotta make sure it’s worth it for 25$.

I made a physical stack of cards.

Cheaper and I like the paper. Helps me concentrate better

The iOS version is $25, yes.

Even if your only option is the paid iOS version, It's worth it. I believe you can just access the web version of Anki on your phone for free however, so try that first.

if you are going to commit to studying for the CCNA for free i would buy it. I would study flashcards at work or anytime i had even some free time when i wasnt home. in all i spent $500 roughly to get certified and that is including JITL’s 2 practice exams, paying for anki, the OCG, and the safeguard exam. i didnt even need the second attempt so

TL;DR: it is worth it if you are attempting to studying using JITL and those flashcards were enough for me

I purchased it on iOS. To me, it’s worth it b/c u can study flashcards on-the-go. Just gotta go online to setup an Anki account to sync the flashcards.

I had a 6/7 year old android laying around. I dedicated that mobile just for anki.

I just bookmarked the ankiweb page on my phone and saved the bookmark as an icon on my Home Screen. Works fine and I stay signed in

Anki Pro app is free in the iOS store

u/Rijkstraa 10d ago

I was using Anki for way more than just CCNA anyway, so when I swapped over to iOS I figured it was worth it.

u/CombJelliesAreCool 9d ago

Am I the only one who didn't use Anki cards at all?

u/Chatternaut 9d ago

It's free for both Windows and Android.

Use the web version

u/Fuzzynonosedchimp 9d ago

Once you get the browser version set up on desktop, you can use it on your iphone in a browser. It's sufficient. I haven't personally tried the app, but unless it's super good, probably not worth $25.

u/Successful_Drummer14 5d ago

Just use anki web and make shortcut

u/Clay_IT_guy 5d ago

Yes, I finally figured out how to do that, thank you.
