I have ankiapp unlimited on my iphone and ipad. I create new cards daily and they are synched between the two devices. However when I log into Ankiweb (using the same username and password as on the iphone/ipad) all I see is the empty default deck. Furthermore, I have installed anki on my PC and tried to download the decks, but it ended up with only the empty default deck.

So 1) how are the iphone and ipad synching?  
2) How can I get the desktop edition included in the synch?

Have you downloaded Anki or AnkiApp? The official apps are here: [apps.ankiweb.net](http://apps.ankiweb.net)

I have downloaded Anki for Windows, plus the AnkiApp for iPad and iPhone.

OK, I see the problem. I have confused AnkiApp with the applications that are the subject of this forum. Sorry for the confusion. You can close this thread.

More like you’ve confused Abibas shoes to be Adidas shoes.

It’s an innocent and _common_ mistake. I don’t think there’s any reason for mocking or rudeness.

I wasn’t mocking. I was suggesting it’s not confusing one app with a different app. It’s confusing the real app with a copycat designed to deceive you.
