10 years of AnkiDroid

[Tim]

I just wanted to point out that today marks the 10th anniversary of the very first release of AnkiDroid!

On 28th June 2009, several years before I was involved in the project, Nicolas Raoul released the first version of AnkiDroid to the Google Play store with the help of Damien Elmes and several other volunteers. See his original blog post here:

Since then, more than 1 million users have installed AnkiDroid, more than 100 developers have volunteered their time and knowledge to contribute new features and bug fixes, and countless users have contributed by translating, testing, and reporting bugs.

To celebrate this occasion, we will be working hard to finally release the next version of AnkiDroid (v2.9) to the public, which has several big new features contributed by the community. For example my favourite new feature is "multi-select" in the card browser. Expect a beta version to be released over the coming days, and a full release within the next months.

More details on v2.9 will be shared in due course, but for now I just wanted to express my gratitude to Nicolas and everyone over the past 10+ years who has helped to make AnkiDroid one of the most successful open-source Android applications ever.

Yeah party time! :-)

Seeing the instructions mention "click on Market" reminds me of the first days of Android.

Thanks to all users and contributors, and especially Tim!

I really believe AnkiDroid helps many students, with no financial barrier, no ads, no tracking.

Active installs' geographical distribution as of Tuesday (logarithmic color scale):

Yes, apparently we have 1 active install in North Korea.

USA/Brazil/Germany/France/Russia are still on top, but countries like India and Vietnam are not far behind.

We are notably absent from Africa, even though smartphone penetration is booming, with for instance 1367 users in Nigeria... maybe some localization would help?

Happy reviewing!

Nicolas Raoul
