Why is this named AnkiApp? I won't use software that creates deliberate confusion by using the same name as another application with the same purpose.
because its anki for iphone
there is also an ankidroid apk for android
i think he meant to say that using the desktop appliation isn't really good to stay on top of the cards, while using a phone makes it very manageable.
The link is not to Damien's AnkiMobile which is the legit Anki for the iphone (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ankimobile-flashcards/id3734...) but to some other Anki I've never heard of.

Ankiapp appears to be something different. The web app Ankiapp links to below is not Anki's web app, and Ankiapp's site is copyright Admium Corp. instead of being attributed to Damien Elmes.
Isn't ankimobile anki for iphone? I use ankidroid, which seems to be the official anki for android. Ankiapp is mentioned nowehere on the anki page.
I study 10-30 minutes a day once (have a lot of cards in a lot of topic) and I just don't miss a day no matter what. I use the Anki mobile app if I can't use the computer on a day. I'm very lazy, but even I find this method very easy to do. I just made it as a habit; wake up, do the Anki review quickly and that's all.
Also I prefer a desktop app, because it's open all day, and whenever I encounter a new info, I immediately put it into Anki!

The SRS algorithm uses scoring prioritization instead of intervals and I've found it to be more optimal than Supermemo/Anki.
I was an Anki desktop user for over 8 years, but I always became overwhelmed by the number of reviews due that would accumulate if I didn't stay active with the app almost every day (review hell). I've found the priority SRS model much easier when studying in small chunks (5-10 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a day).
