Hi so I’m having an issue with my anki desktop review numbers matching with my phone app review numbers. I’ve tried doing a one way sync from both my phone and laptop and cannot seem to get either one to match the other. When I upload my desktop version to ankiweb and then download that version onto my phone, the numbers still seem not to match. I don’t know if this has anything to do with the fact that I used the postpone cards add-on, but I would assume that the updated timings would typically transfer to the phone from the computer. When I use the version from my phone (which has a higher card count than the computer version) and upload it to ankiweb and then download that version onto my desktop, once I get down to 0 reviews, the number will keep going down into the negatives (-1, -2, etc.) Please help me ---

This is very likely due to the fact that the two versions of Anki you are syncing between use different schedulers. Unfortunately, [AnkiDroid does not support yet the scheduler v3](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/the-2021-scheduler.html), so I would suggest using the scheduler v2. However, you’re not forced to, as I think they are compatible, in the sense that it won’t cause issues using the v2 scheduler on one device, and the v3 scheduler on the other (besides a slight discrepancy in the number of daily reviews that may happen sometimes, as you are currently experiencing — which has no real effect, besides you being able to review more than one of the schedulers planned you to). ---

So I’m still using the V2 scheduler on my laptop which I believe should line up with the iphone scheduler…not super sure what the discrepancy could be then ---

If you’re using AnkiMobile (Anki for iPhone), then there should be no problem in using the scheduler v3. Besides, have you updated both Anki apps? ---

the phone app is completely updated. i dont really keep the computer one updated consistently but it’s never given me issues before. could it be something to do with using the rescheduling addon? ---

> [@medical](#): > > i dont really keep the computer one updated consistently but it’s never given me issues before. Just update the desktop version too, unless you have a specific reason not to do so. In general, you can’t just not update your software “because it keeps working as is”: updates are important. ---

So you have the v2 scheduler on desktop, and the v3 scheduler on mobile? Maybe you should just switch to v3 on desktop too, then. ---

Ah (I definitively did not understand a thing 😛). Well, then I guess the faulty party might be the add-on. Not too sure about what can be done, though, besides contacting the author… ---

You appear to still be on Anki 2.1.30, which is quite old. The way the deck list counts are calculated changed in a later release. If you update to the latest Anki version, you should find the counts correctly match AnkiMobile. ---
