AnkiMobile’s image cropping functionality needs improvement (Flexible Shape or Document Scan). Currently, it uses iOS’s built-in square cropping tool, which makes cropping rectangular images like whiteboard photos difficult. Flexible cropping options would streamline the creation of image-based flashcards.
This feature has been highly requested on multiple forums. For example, it is inconvenient to take a picture with the camera and then switch to the Photos app to crop each whiteboard image—a process that becomes cumbersome when capturing multiple images per lecture. I tried using screenshots, but they sometimes do not fit the frame properly. I also experimented with iOS shortcuts, which presented numerous issues and dependencies. It would be ideal if the crop tool worked as expected or included an auto-scan feature similar to those in Notability, CamScanner, or the built-in iOS document scanner (in Notes app, or Files app).
