UI is very unintuitive and even then, it's inconsistent. Inconsistent in itself, and inconsistent with normal expected OS behaviour, such as when text is selected and a key is pressed (spoiler, it doesn't overwrite the selection like it should). Expect to google a lot of basic things, like how to delete a flashcard from the deck.
So there's quite a learning curve, and it's primarily designed for long-term learning. If learning for exams, you'll need to make a few adjustements. On the plusside,...

Very useful for memorization, probably the best flashcard application due to it's cloud saving, and general dependency on community.

What is Anki?
Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it is a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.
Anyone who needs to remember things in their daily life can benefit from Anki. Since it is content-agnostic and supports images, audio, videos and scientific markup (via LaTeX), the possibilities are endless. For example:
learning a language studying for medical and law exams memorizing people's names and faces brushing up on geography mastering long poems even practicing guitar chords!
Anki cards are displayed like webpages, so can optionally style them with HTML, CSS and Javascript.
There are big communities, e.g. r/Anki, and you can share and download decks among the community.
You can select from hundreds of add-ons developed by the community to extend Anki beyond its core functionality.

Poor UI, bloated size, lags much.
UI is very unintuitive and even then, it's inconsistent. Inconsistent in itself, and inconsistent with normal expected OS behaviour, such as when text is selected and a key is pressed (spoiler, it doesn't overwrite the selection like it should). Expect to google a lot of basic things, like how to delete a flashcard from the deck.
So there's quite a learning curve, and it's primarily designed for long-term learning. If learning for exams, you'll need to make a few adjustements. On the plusside, it's free and open-source and there's free cloud-syncing services.
Very useful for memorization, probably the best flashcard application due to it's cloud saving, and general dependency on community.
It's a powerful app with a clean and simple UI (featuring a native UI for macOS).
And there are plenty of add-ons to choose from.
Anki is powerful, but hard to get started with. The UI is quite uninviting.
Best flashcard app.
