AlgoApp review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

AlgoApp is a strong choice for vocabulary decks, thanks to its built-in translation and reading aids. Students who want a free, open ecosystem may still prefer Anki.

What AlgoApp is

AlgoApp, formerly AnkiApp, is a flashcard app that is separate from Anki, with its own sync across phone, tablet, desktop and web. For language learners, the description lists automatic translation between 120 languages, text-to-speech in 39 languages, and automatic furigana for kanji or pinyin for Chinese characters. For other subjects, it turns PDFs, lecture slides and photos of handwritten notes into cards with AI, and includes image occlusion. It supports FSRS scheduling and imports Anki decks and CSV files.
