Moving from Anki, or studying with both? Your decks come across, and go back.
Share an .apkg or .colpkg file from Files, Mail or Safari and choose RectoVerso, or use + › Import Anki deck… on the shelf (also in ⋯ › Settings). Each top-level Anki deck becomes a RectoVerso deck, its subdecks included.
What comes across: the cards as Anki shows them, image occlusion included, with their pictures, sounds, flags, schedule and review history. A card in review stays due on the day Anki had it due, and its memory is worked out from its review history, as Anki does when it switches to FSRS. Importing a deck again updates the deck it made: cards changed in Anki change here, cards you wrote in RectoVerso stay, and a card you’ve studied here keeps its schedule.
What doesn’t: RectoVerso tells you after the import, with a count for each.
- Cards with nothing to reveal, or nothing to ask.
- Answers that are only a sound.
- Image occlusion cards whose picture isn’t in the file (a deck exported without its media).
- Pictures a card’s template draws with a script, which RectoVerso doesn’t run.
- Clozes that are empty.
- Pictures and sounds the file doesn’t contain.
- Sounds in Ogg, a format iOS can’t play (they’re kept, but don’t play).
To send them back, see Exporting for Anki.
