Try mochi.cards - it’s like an aesthetically pleasing, modernized version of anki. Has an app, synchs automatically, i.e. doesn’t have the glitches you complain about. Can apply same process you describe.
Hi! I tried your recommendation for Mochi.cards and found it really awesome. I'm out of my house for almost 10-12 hours a day, so I do a lot of my "training" on my phone, which wasn't possible with Anki. But the Mochi.cards app is an absolute beauty. I've already done more than a hundred cards in around a week. Loving it! Thanks!
Anki works quite well on iPhone (as an app) -- it also allows you to do the cards offline, and then you can sync the progress when you are back online. And this process is much more reliable than a similar offline mode of Chessable Pro (which basically isn't reliable at all, so I stopped using that).
Yes, I tried Chessable and I found the process of creating the course content too time consuming. With Anki it takes 10 seconds to take a screenshot and create a card (plus writing time), and as a result I have a ton of cards. And that’s important, because chess is vast.
I laugh when you refer to Anki as a desktop application from the 1900s lol. I am not a strong player but have used Chessbase since 2000, and it also allows the creation and drilling of flashcards. But very definitely requires a laptop or desktop to operate! Lol!
I put all my ChessBase files of tactics I missed into a private Chessable course (Pro membership required) to incorporate spaced repetition for stuff I missed in books or in games.
Is there any subject in chess that works well in flash cards and any that doesn’t?

I downloaded Anki and have given it a try for spaced repetition. Did you ever make your own chessable course instead?

I found the same thing
There is an app in the Apple App Store called AnkiApp which looks like it might be related.
Honestly Dan I am not certain. It is a feature in all these years I have not personally used. But will check out after our conversation lol.

Interesting. Does it manage a spaced repetition schedule and tell you which cards to drill each day?
