Ankidroid stops and won't let me continue

[Ken Shirriff]

The Ankidroid program is very nice, but I'm hitting a problem that
makes it pretty much unusable. After I use Ankidroid for just a
couple minutes, it says "Congratulations! You have finished for now.
Please come back tomorrow or switch to another deck." There seems to
be no way to get it to continue at this point. I tried changing the
Study Options, but that doesn't seem to help.

I searched around and this seems to be related to the "Review Early"
feature. However, I'm using a deck with thousands of cards, so I'm
not sure why review even comes into this. In any case, it's really
annoying to be sitting idle somewhere with my phone and Ankidroid
won't let me look at any more cards. I think Ankidroid is a cool
program, but I'll have to abandon it if I can't get it to work for
more than a couple minutes.

(Apologies if this appears twice; I tried a similar posting earlier
but it didn't show up.)

Hi Ken

It might be worth checking out your session time limit in study
options, set it to 0.

Although I'd recommend doing it on your main Anki desktop app first,
save the deck and then copy to the phone. I've changed my cards per
day on Ankidroid settings and didn't make any difference until I did
it in Anki first.

Cheers

I experience exactly the same - just installed the Android version a
couple of days ago.

I think this bug report is related to your problem:
http://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=69

Workaround:
A workaround is to switch to "before reviews" and review 20 or 40
cards before switching back.

And make sure your maximum failed count for the deck is a high number.

That's not good advice. Here's the reason: checking both the desktop app and ankidroid, none of the menus list the options you mention: "study options" and  "session time limit." They simply aren't there. So your advice is bad.

A flash card app that lets you create flash cards, then doesn't let you study them? Anki is seriously fucked up.

You are quote advice with regards to menu options on an application from 6 years ago?  Seriously?  Seems like Anki isn't the only thing f'd up.

Let's all calm down a bit.

Anki, like all SRS software, can be surprising at first.

First-time users must take the time to understand what SRS is and how it is better than normal flashcards despite its counter-intuitive concepts.

On the other side, we knowledgeable users should be patient, even if that means linking to the same FAQs every few days.

Cheers!
