When you purchase Anki flashcards from Lingualism, you are purchasing a data file used by the Anki app (application/program). The file extension is .apkg. Just like other data files you may be more familiar with, such as .doc and .pdf, you will need the right app to open and run the file; otherwise, your device won’t know what to do with it.
So, before you can start using an Anki flashcard deck, you need to download (and install) the Anki app.
The app is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop and laptop operating systems, Android, and iOS (iPhone and iPad). Click on the buttons below to be taken to the download page for the Anki app.
Windows, Mac, Linux
iOS App
Once you have the Anki app on your device, you can import decks (.apkg files) and start learning!
