AnkiDroid 2.20 is now rolling out on the Play Store!
In 2020, implementing Anki’s latest scheduling improvements would have taken years. Today, the same process takes weeks due to the extensive effort of merging Anki’s codebase into AnkiDroid. Enjoy your even more efficient reviews!
General releases should be rolling out now, and will be available:
- Play Store (don’t forget to give us a rating!)
- F-Droid [typically takes about a week, 2.19.3 just went live today]
- GitHub - Parallel Builds for Multiple Profiles
Your donations paid for the work to make this happen so quickly 
Changelog
AnkiDroid Updates
- Includes Anki 24.11, with FSRS 5.0
- If you use FSRS, we recommend re-optimizing parameters

Anki 24.11 Features
- FSRS 5.0
- Want to try FSRS (the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler)? Enable it in deck options
- (experimental) FSRS now schedules same-day reviews if you remove all learning steps
- Load balancing: within your fuzz range, Anki will now try to pick days that have fewer reviews waiting.
- Deck Options: FSRS Simulator
- Deck Options: Easy days - you can now tell Anki to try avoid certain days of the week
- Card Info: Add forgetting curve
- Decks can now be sorted by descending retrievability.
- Simulations have shown this is a better choice when you have a backlog, and this sort order is likely to become the default in the future.
- Statistics: Add true retention stats
- Statistics: Estimated total knowledge by note, and daily load
- Card Info: Include card position information
