Copycat Importer (AnkiApp/AnkiPro)

Strange. I would like to run some tests with your collection if possible. Otherwise, I’m not sure how to help.

How do I get you my collection? This page isn’t letting me attach it

You can upload it to a site like https://gofile.io/

20 is the default daily limit: Anki's not showing me all my cards! - Frequently Asked Questions

If I purchase something, can I make the default higher?

Never mind. I RTFFAQed and now I understand I think.

So out of all the cards I added it shows me 20 at a time until it thinks I have those ones well, right?

Sort of, yes. As that page recommends, I suggest you spend a few weeks with the default settings to get a feel for how things work.

Just to be sure, it is supposed to be showing 20 instead of the true number of cards in the deck, right?

Yes. You can see all cards in the deck by opening the Browse screen.

Hey,
Unfortunately, I am having trouble importing ankiapp decks.
I am using a mac, and I cannot find the location where the ankiapp decks should be. I tried using the search function as well, but I am unable to find anything. I am missing the Containers folder completely.
I tried using the ankiapp desktop app and the web version, but the folder did not show up either way.
It would be amazing if someone knows how to solve this.

You’ll only have the containers folder if you install AnkiApp from the store.
If you install AnkiApp from their site though, you should have the ~/Library/Application Support/AnkiApp folder. Can’t you find something like this at all? If you find it, doesn’t the databases subfolder contain some files?

I found Application Support, but there is no Ankiapp folder.
I also tried searching for AnkiApp and for the databases subfolder, but the only thing that comes up is the AnkiApp Application itself (which I downloaded from the Appstore).

Weird.

  • Make sure all your AnkiApp decks are downloaded before using the add-on. For that, go to AnkiApp, click on each of your decks, then click on the Download button at the bottom if it’s shown.

Did you follow this?

Yes, all my study decks are downloaded and can be studied in the ankiapp.
I also tried using an older anki version, in case this might be the problem, but nothing changed.

Hmm, not sure what is the issue. I mean, AnkiApp must store its files somewhere…

Hello, I am trying to import on mac, but when i go to library->application support, it doesnt show ankiapp so that I can pick the file to import. How do I get the ankiapp folder to show? Im on macos ventura. I also cannot see the containers folder. I seem to be having the same issue as yannikbu. Im pretty sure all of my decks are downloaded, but I dont know where the decks are in the file explorer on mac.

I have no idea where is the AnkiApp folder. It may be hidden. I don’t have a Mac to test on so I can’t help much here unfortunately.

I’m seeing the following error

When trying to import from AnkiApp on either Mac or Windows. Any idea what’s causing this? Here’s my db file: https://gofile.io/d/TZOFFj

Thanks for sharing your collection. I’ve pushed a fix for this. Let me know if it doesn’t work for you.
