Hi,

I have recently purchased Anki mobile apps for my iPad and Android phone. I’ m trying to customize the card types, edit the tags, etc. but it seems that I can only do that on the desktop app, but I don’t have a laptop.

Is there any way to work around this?

Thanks!

If you tap on the gear/cog during study and scroll down to Card Template, it is possible to edit the current card’s template, but I’m afraid it’s not currently possible to add or remove card templates for a notetype in AnkiMobile.
