Move your cards from Quizlet or Anki

Your cards are yours. Here is how to bring a Quizlet set or an Anki deck into Flash Feed on your iPhone.

From Quizlet

  1. Open the set on quizlet.com. Export is on the website, not in the Quizlet app.
  2. Open the ··· menu and choose Export.
  3. Keep the defaults (a tab between term and definition, a new line between cards) and choose Copy text.
  4. In Flash Feed, go to New › Paste cards, paste, and look at the first three cards in the preview. Then import.

Quizlet decides who sees Export. If a set has none, for example one copied from someone else, Flash Feed cannot get around that. Flash Feed never asks for your Quizlet login.

From Anki

  1. In Anki on your computer, choose File › Export.
  2. Choose Anki Deck Package (.apkg) and switch on Support older Anki versions. Flash Feed cannot read the newer format.
  3. Send the file to your iPhone with AirDrop, Mail or iCloud Drive.
  4. In Flash Feed, go to New › Import a file and choose it.

Prefer plain text? Choose Notes in Plain Text (.txt) instead and import that file the same way.

What comes across

  • The first two fields of each note become the question and the answer.
  • Cards arrive as new cards: review history and due dates stay behind.
  • Pictures, sound and fill-in-the-blank (cloze) cards do not come across.
  • Each file or paste becomes one deck in your library, ready to study like any other.

What it costs

Studying is always free. You can import or receive one deck a month for free; a subscription lifts that limit.
