My Mac computer is too old to use Anki. I’m using ipad and iPhone only. I imported a deck from the shared Anki material, The import proved successful but then nothing happened. Can you help me?

What message do you receive when you import the deck? If you could attach a screenshot that would be helpful.

Thx for your answer.  
Actually it says I can only download from my computer…I downloadedthe JLPT lists from an Anki list and I can read it but this is it…

You can import decks to AnkiMobile as well - please see the instructions here: [Shared Decks - AnkiMobile Manual](https://docs.ankimobile.net/shared-decks.html)
