A lot of people seem to like shared card decks but creating your own cards is part of the learning process, you spent time with the material you want to learn, which is the main thing that helps you learning.

shameless self-plug:

On macos and iOS we found Anki a bit out of place so we build a competitor explicitly for language learning (https://wokabulary.com/).

Looks like a cool app, but a monthly subscription for a content free flash card App is asking too much. (Personally I prefer my learning tools to stay around without monthly payments)
We plan to introduce a lifetime purchase.

Initially, and for many years, we also tried to not have a subscription but steady development needs to paid somehow, same goes for customer support. If Apple would allow for paid upgrades…

Were conservative pundits outraged that you were pushing wokabulary?
Haha, at least it hurts our Google score. When we came up with the name it was just an innocent wordplay.
