Given that push notifications haven't worked in AnkiDroid for years, it doesn't feel good to me?
Just one data point but they work for me. (Nothing phone, android 16, Ankidroid 2.23.3 installed from Fdroid)
We've got a setting [developer options only] which completely reimplements them, it won't be live for 2.24, but hopefully 2.25

"Our agreement with Damien stipulates that the current AGPLv3 code remains open source"
It sounds like a very specific dementi.

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.
That works for people who already convinced that they want to use it. I'm talking about people who've heard it for the first time and they're not going to spend 25$ for some new app just to try. 25$ is unusually high price for an AppStore app and it's just doesn't work unless you're really determined to use it. I don't understand why people are downvoting this.
As a person with really poor memory, the entirety of my learning depends on this app. I'm worried :/

(Same person as above but felt that this part had a separate purpose so I've moved it into its own comment) The ecosystem is currently such that it seems hard to enshittify it. They say they have no intention of doing that and I believe it, but their vision of a healthy and good product might involve a fair price (for rich countries at least) whereas it was always free so far Time will tell; it sounds like there's cu…
The iOS app has never been free and that's the way most people use it these days. Desktop computing is a niche.
Where are you getting the stats that drive this claim? How are you measuring usage on platforms that don't necessarily collect usage metrics, e.g. desktop versions?
I discovered Anki 12 years ago while living in Japan. I was trying my hardest and absolutely failing to remember any of the Japanese I was studying. Maybe I was due for a learning-style renaissance for myself and Anki was just the catalyst, but it really made a positive impact on my life. More than just memorizing kanji on AnkiDroid during my commute, I just started to believe I could learn anything. I was starting t…

> They showed me the Chinese characters and asked me what the English translation is. I was incredulous about how many wrong decks there are and that I could not find good decks. You can edit the structure of the card templates so they're the 'right way around' for you: https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html#card-types
Is this available on the mobile app? A template editor? My issue is, that I also don't know where to find the functionality for editing the template. I also cannot find it under deck "Options" in the desktop app. There is sooo much in the UI, that I think it is possible, that I am simply overlooking it somewhere. The docs you linked don't tell me where to find that. No screenshots of any UI are visible. Even now, aft…

Looks nice but being an Electron-based app is a huge dealbreaker for me.
I imagine it's for Anki users and Anki already embeds a HTML engine (for the cards).

Yes, because intervals on some cards become absurdly large (4 years after seeing the card twice) .
If the algorithm says so, so it is.
