"It was easier to import decks with this app than with others."
01 Anki import
From your laptop to your phone, in three steps.
If your deck lives in Anki on a laptop, or you downloaded a shared deck, it can come with you.
Export from Anki
In Anki on your computer, export the deck as an .apkg file. Shared decks are usually .apkg already.
Import into sumi
Open Settings, tap Import cards and choose the file. Decks with images and cloze cards import, and so does audio.
Revise anywhere
On the bus, in the library, the night before the exam. One card at a time.
One honest limit: your cards come across, but Anki review history and scheduling do not. Imported cards start fresh.
Sample card: Bonjour. Show the answer
Answer: Hello
