![]() ![]() I don’t have much time nowadays to sit down with a book or watch a show so it’s a convenient way to review something when I have a few minutes to spare. You may be wondering, didn’t I recommend against using SRS? Well, while I still think it’s an inferior way to memorize things, I have to admit, it’s nice to have something to study when I’m waiting in line at the grocery story or whatever. Once you get over the initial confusion and get all your decks setup and ready to go, it’s not too bad. This caused me to lose my changes several times before I realized what was going on. What it means is basically, scrap everything I have locally, and replace it with what’s online. As you can see, the Default deck is nowhere in the desktop app even though it appears in AnkiDroid. Do not use the Default deck! It disappears when you add another deck.You have to use the icon on the top-right. You do this by synching for the first time, which also doesn’t have a menu option. The UI can still use a lot of improvement in that regard. However, I must warn you that getting setup initially is very confusing. It’s much better once you get everything setup. I would highly recommend upgrading though the upgrade process hosed all my old decks (don’t know if this is just me or a common issue). In addition, Synch can now actually SYNCH (ie “synchronize” not just whack one set of changes with another). ![]() ![]() Before, it would crash on my phone at least once basically every time I’ve used it. AnkiDroid is much better as well in that it’s actually usable now. Though browsing a deck is still a popup, it’s not as annoying as Anki 1. There is no longer a popup per deck, which is great because popups SUCK. Overall, the look and usability have been greatly improved. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and my overall impression is that things have improved significantly. They're a fun upgrade if you're already invested, but not enough of a change-up for anyone to start from scratch.So since I did a review of Anki, it seems only fair that I revisit it now that Anki 2 is out. Supertrucks also carry a price premium over the regular cars, too. It's fun, sure, but you'll spend just as much time sticking cars back on the track as you will racing them. ![]() At least until another player takes you down. You start with your regular Anki car and the app drives the truck, but do enough damage and you’ll take control. The new racing mode, Takeover, is a blast as well. Like before, scoring enough damage will deactivate rival motors for a few precious seconds. Keep close to full speed for long enough and you'll get a pumped up "Rage mode", too, which does damage to any cars unlucky enough to be nearby. It might not put as much pedal to the metal as a regular Anki car, but it's packing better weaponry. It works with the regular Overdrive track and app (apart from the jump kit, anyway – this isn't Speed), so you're good to go right away. The X-52 is a big brute of a racing rig, with enough power to shunt any other Anki car right off the track. Simple road racing not enough for you? Got some road rage to vent? Anki's newly-released Supertrucks add-on should do just the trick. ![]()
