Copycat Importer (AnkiApp/AnkiPro)

Which app are you importing from?

So you have the files in your media folder but they don’t show up in the notes?

dcnies23 · January 8, 2026, 7:05pm

abdo,

My anki is linked to my google account, so to go that route, we would need to coordinate a login. How have you handled this in the past?

Thanks,
Danielle

abdo · January 9, 2026, 5:38pm

You can log in to your account from the add-on then copy and send me the add-on’s config under Tools > Add-ons > Config.

abdo · January 10, 2026, 5:58pm

Hi, I’ll look into this if you can share your account with me privately.

Hey Abdo! I currently have AlgoApp (AnkiApp renamed I believe). I’ve installed the Add-on but it only comes up with a configuration page of code that I don’t know what to do with. What can I do next to import my flashcards? This is the code:

{

"download_media": true,

"importer_options": {

"ankiapp": {

"client_id": "",

"client_token": "",

"client_version": ""

},

"ankipro": {

"token": ""

}

},

"report_errors": true

}

abdo · January 15, 2026, 5:20pm

Hi. Go to the Tools > Copycat Importer > Import from AnkiApp menu and follow the instructions there.

Hey man, Im running into the same problem. I tried importing my decks from Noji and its not allowing me to import any of my cards. I tried following the prompts but it is not going through. Please help

abdo · January 21, 2026, 11:54am

Hi, I can take a look if you share your Noji account with me privately. I got some reports this month, but so far no user got back to me.

Ash3 · February 12, 2026, 6:36pm

Ash3 · February 12, 2026, 6:55pm

There’s apparently a new issue here. I’m looking into it.

abdo · February 14, 2026, 2:44pm

I just pushed an update for the images issue.

Ash3 · February 14, 2026, 7:14pm

Hi also some decks arent uploading properly.

Ash3 · February 14, 2026, 7:22pm

Another thing is that the pictures still not loading after update

abdo · February 15, 2026, 9:26am

All pictures? Can you share your account with me privately so I can take a look?

Hi,

I’m trying to import my decks/cards from AlgoApp. It seems to be pulling down the inidividual deck names, and some of the card templates, but not the cards themselves.

This is the error information I get:

Hi,

It looks like it’s failing to import the “Sp Many Fields Deluxe (4C)” note type for some reason. If you can share your AlgoApp account with me privately, I can look into it further.

hendrix · March 9, 2026, 6:26am

Hi, trying to import my AlgoApp data. When I log in and click import it starts fetching cards for about two seconds then aborts with a popup saying that Anki encountered an error due to Copycatimporter. When I restart Anki I can see it imported the deck names but no cards. Error log shows the following. Thanks for any pointers!

Hi. I have imported my cards from Noji to Anki which worked fine. However my front and reverse side on the card on Noji both got copied onto the front side of the card on Anki. How do I make it so that the reverse side of my card on Noji also copies onto the reverse side on Anki?
