The problem is you can't go through a whole deck like you can with real flashcards. It becomes a lottery as to what cards you might get. You don't know what cards you didn't see. This was the biggest frustration my wife experienced trying to use it.

You definitely can, just not in a single day which is not something you should do. Anki takes commitment.

For med students, you need to be able to hit a whole deck in a day. There's too much information to ingest to not do that.
