Testing notes for Anki.
The advice is to download the desktop version. There we go! 150MB download and 515MB required space! I love web apps. I'll test that one as well beside this dinosaur. Loads of tutorials and videos on YouTube. Making an account - a lot of terms and conditions. Not suitable for minors.
