How to add more cards

Hi my cards were coming up with loads every day now barley any are coming out how can I add more cards to study each day got no idea how

Double tap on + in the main screen. That opens the add window. For more info, see the manual at ankidroid.org.

Are you asking about how to increase the number of cards that get introduced as New each day? Or about how to create more notes/cards to study more things?

I’m trying to increase the number of cards each day

You can control that in your Deck Options by increasing the daily limit for New cards, or if you just want more today, set it as a “Today only” limit. Deck Options - Anki Manual

If you have parent- and subdecks, consider how the daily limits interact between them. The Anki v3 scheduler - Anki FAQs

Hi I’ve done this but it just doesn’t seem to work struggling to find a way around it

  • Do you have any available (not suspended, not buried) New cards in your deck? In the Card browser, you can search is:new -is:suspended -is:buried.
  • Do you have parent/subdecks? Did you change the limits in the right place?

I changed the limits do you know how to reset them

Did you check the things I suggested?

Yes no cards suspended or anything
My daily limit is 4000

My question isn’t whether you have any suspended cards – it’s whether you have any unsuspended cards that are available to study.

Let’s try this instead – get your collection in sync with AnkiWeb, and I’ll take a look through our support access.

Okay I am all synced in on my email for the cards

Which deck (or decks) are you having this issue with?

All of them as I would like more cards to come out each day please

Your first issue is that you have no New cards left anywhere in your collection. There’s nothing for Anki to introduce, so it doesn’t matter how high you set your daily New limit.


Your second issue is that you aren’t adjusting the Deck Options correctly. Even though all of your decks use the same Deck Options preset, you’ve only increased the “This deck” limits for one of the decks. The rest of your decks are using the “Preset” limit which gives you a max of 5 Review cards per day in each deck.

Because you’ve limited your daily max, now you’ve got a backlog of 139 overdue cards across all decks.

Okay so how can I change this and make more cards come out even the old as I still need to revise them

Change your max daily reviews for the preset from 5 to 9999.

That all are 9999 and still not doing anything

All changed not but some are only doing like 3 each day

You might not have any more reviews due today. Anki tries not to show you cards sooner than necessary to learn and remember them. If you have already correctly answered a card several times, it may be several days or weeks or longer before you need to review it again. You can look in the deck stats to see how many cards are scheduled for review each day.
