Anki, it works

This is an amateur review of the program called Anki.

Using Anki is like using flash-cards to learn about useful things like languages and equations and other stuff a person in college might need help with in school, like me. I'm currently using AnkiDroid, the program for Android devices and I have to say, I like it a lot. It seems Anki and AnkiDroid have literally helped me make my life easier.

And just to say off the bat, Anki is free and totally worth it. I'll explain why:

I've always liked to try to learn languages, and I can actually hold a couple minutes of conversation in a couple languages outside of English, but I found trouble when trying to read and write in those languages. Going online and searching for help is fine, and I've tried to do that plenty. But I often find myself unable to connect to the internet, so I've no way to reach those webpages to practice reading Spanish while I stand in line for something or am waiting for a ride.

Anki is a program that saves the information you want (you get to pick and choose) for you on your computer (I installed it on my laptop, but haven't used it on there yet), or on other devices like on an Android phone. It was the best solution to an annoying problem.

It works pretty well in itself too, I've ever had it crash or disobey me, and as for using it for school help, it's fantastic. It's way easier to memorize equations for a Biology or Math test with this, it is STILL studying but in a version that doesn't feel like I have a leech sucking my mind dry.
As for help with languages, Anki helped solve that problem by introducing me to prepared words and phrases in a setting that's easy to learn, just like the equations.
I've been practicing with German for the past week, and I can actually recall words and their spelling from just what I've learned on Anki.
Anki derives all of it's information from parcels of prepared notes and cards named "decks," and you get to write on the individual cards if you want, maybe to jog your memory if you haven't opened one deck in a while, maybe to help you remember words that are like the word about to be revealed.
To be honest I don't know the program all that well yet, but as far as I've been using it, it works great.
I'm going to be better acquainted with Anki the more I use it, but I had to write something like this in case anyone was deciding whether or not to use it.
