AnkiMobile has been rewritten from scratch to avoid all the problems that were caused by the old toolkit. Combined with the improvements in Anki 2, almost every action is noticeably faster, and the app is more stable.

Syncing of sounds and images has been greatly simplified due to Anki 2.0’s integrated media syncing: no more messing around with Dropbox or being unable to sync media added on your device back to the desktop.

Shared decks can now be added directly from your mobile device, without requiring access to a computer.

You can now add privately shared decks as well, either from a private website, a mail attachment, or any other app that supports the "Open in…" protocol.

AnkiMobile now provides the same graphs and statistics that Anki 2 does.

You can now customize the colours of the app, with more customizations likely to come in the future.

Support for the iPhone 5.

iOS4.2 support has been dropped, as Apple don’t make it possible to support the iPhone 5’s bigger screen and iOS4.2 at the same time.

Swiping has been considerably improved. Instead of requiring a long press before the swipe is recognized, swipes start from the left or right side of the screen. You no longer have to choose between text selection and swipes: both can be used at once.

Searching/browsing no longer limits you to 100 matches: it can display your entire deck at once, even if it’s thousands of cards big.

Searching is much, much faster.

Searching supports the same searches as Anki 2, including queries such as "cards with tag Important", "cards with interval over 3 years", "cards failed today", and so on. Please see the updated manual for more information.

iTunes import/export is a lot easier now. To move cards to your mobile device for example, you just file>export on the desktop, copy the resulting single file to iTunes, and import from AnkiMobile. Media is automatically packaged into the single file when you export, and filenames with foreign character are handled without issue. Exporting is even easier: export from AnkiMobile, drag the file from iTunes, and double click on it to open up the desktop client and replace your collection with the updated version. More information is available in the manual.

And more!

A number of improvements to pinching to zoom:

Fixed a bug that could cause a partially-completed sync or import to be saved if the app was killed by the user.

When comparing typed-in answer in cloze field, make sure to properly strip optional hint.

The scratchpad is now slightly larger, with an option in the review settings to increase its size further.

Another fix for taps on links or audio buttons being accidentally interpreted as a tap to advance.

When review card repeatedly failed in relearning, make sure interval doesn’t decrease below the minimum interval the user has set.

Ignore formatting tags in {{#Field}} replacements.

When adding, show note types in alphabetical order.

Fix bug where the list of the tags in the browser would disappear when collection uploaded from AnkiMobile. If you were affected by this, Tools>Maintenance>Check DB in the desktop should bring the list of tags back.

Fix answer ticks appearing in wrong place when device rotated on deck list screen.

When using a filtered deck with rescheduling disabled, on the last step show "(end)" instead of nothing.

Strip leading/trailing whitespace in tags, which fixes {{#Tags}} and also slight misalignment when included on cards.

Don’t crash when user tries to set zero backups.

Don’t crash when trying to add cards from within a filtered deck.

Fixed a bug where no counts were underlined when you switched from a finished deck to a non-finished one.

Fix "Replay" action when user has replay buttons disabled.

Fixed a bug where media deleted on the desktop was not deleted on AnkiMobile on the next sync.

Fixed a bug where a random order custom study deck created on AnkiMobile could not be edited with the desktop.

Fix tap zones moving up/down when the navigation bar is hidden/shown with a tap.

Fixed a bug that was causing the app to crash when visiting the upgrade screen on some iOS versions.

If the collection somehow gets into an unreadable state, it is now backed up to iTunes and a new one put in its place.

Fixed a crash on some iOS versions when a sync failed.

Make sure we show the replay button even if user has disabled autoplay.

Fix play button on sound files with non-latin text.

Fixed a bug where the finished message would not display when the daily review limit had been exceeded.

Fixed issue with image resizing where landscape images were being cropped.

Fix an issue where audio occasionally wouldn’t autoplay when going through cards quickly.

Other minor fixes.

AnkiMobile now takes automatic backups of your collection once an hour. If you accidentally make a mistake, you can restore a backup via iTunes.

Audio replay buttons are now displayed on your card for each audio file you have attached, like previous AnkiMobile versions did.

Custom study now has a limit to tags option that allows you to select tags to include and exclude like the desktop version, instead of having to type them in.

AnkiMobile now has a native scratchpad, which can be enabled from Settings>Review. If you were previously using the scratchpad add-on, you can remove the old scratchpad from your cards by going to Edit>Cards in the desktop version of Anki and deleting all the scratchpad-related text.

When a link on a card is tapped, it’s now opened in an external Safari window instead of within Anki, so that children can’t use Anki to circumvent content restrictions. You can double tap the home button and click on Anki to quickly return to study.

If you upgraded from Anki 1, you should have an "Upgrading" option in the settings screen. If you go into that and choose to remove that option, it will clean up any old .anki decks and media you had in the old version, freeing up space.

Automatically replay audio after it’s recorded.

When creating a filtered deck, it defaults to searching in the current deck now.

Tapping on links on cards will no longer accidentally trigger a tap as well.

Tapping to advance to the answer or next card will no longer accidentally trigger a link as well.

AnkiMobile now shrinks images to a more usable size when added from the camera.

Notify when a leech is encountered.

Add confirmation to note delete.

Fixed a bug where syncing would fail after a shared deck was added to your collection.

Fixed a bug where syncing would fail after a previous sync was interrupted by network trouble.

If a bug in syncing is encountered, the next sync will now ask you which side you wish to keep in order to fix the problem.

Fixed an issue where particular non-latin text could cause a card not to display.

Added "Custom Study" feature from the latest desktop version, which makes it easier to extend the daily new card or review limits, and create filtered decks. Due to time constraints the "limit by tag" option has not been implemented yet; it is expected to come in the next release.

Filtered decks can still be created manually; the screen is now accessed via Tools>More (or can be bound to a tap, swipe, etc).

Added Today section to statistics, like on latest desktop.

Fixed various issues with audio handling:

Import/export improvements:

Fixed an issue where media added on the device via the camera/photo library/recording facility was not being uploaded to AnkiWeb during a sync, which caused a "media sanity check failed" message. If you continue to get such messages, please export your collection with media via iTunes (as described in the manual), and import it into the desktop program.
