Many times, I get asked if there is a free version of Anki available. The answer is no. In fact, you can't get a free Anki course. However, what I can tell you is that it is possible to obtain an Anki application for your Windows computer which is much more powerful than the free version.
This isn't an attempt to undermine the free application. It does have a lot going for it. The key difference lies in the program's ability to be installed and run on the Windows operating system. This is extremely important to the user, as well as the fact that the software can run on multiple computers at once. With this feature, you can download your updated decks from your PC and print them out at home without having to download the deck again and pay any fees.
There are many different reasons why people prefer to use an Anki application. For me, it's because I can access my cards on my computer without having to download anything. Having your deck printed off and ready to use can be incredibly useful when you have a busy life, or for those of us who love to travel. You will even find that the Anki software also makes it much easier to manage your cards when you are on the road. Another reason is that the software allows you to store and share your decks with friends. This makes it easy to keep track of your decks between classes or other activities, like studying.
