Description
Hi HN,I recently got the AnkiMobile app for iOS for Mandarin. It was buggy and feature-lacking in my opinion, so I made a nice looking Anki-compatible alternative app, with more features.It uses a tuned FSRS5 algorithm and supports image occlusion out of the box. You can import your existing Anki decks into it or create a new one. Pretty quick to add cards with the image feature.I'm using it right now and will add more to it so let me know what you think.FYI, it has a one-off purchase of $14.99 to unlock it for lifetime (no taksies backsies) after a test period of seven days.

Could you build this?
Yes It is an iOS flashcard app implementing the open-source FSRS5 algorithm and parsing standard Anki deck formats (.apkg SQLite packages), easily built with SwiftUI.
