Thanks for the extra details and the full Card Info screenshot—that helps a lot.

From what you’ve shown:

  • Same Card ID
  • Two reviews on the same calendar day
  • Different devices (iPad at 8:03, computer at 10:25)
  • Only one card in the Browser

That pattern almost always points to a sync timing issue between devices, not a scheduling bug or AnkiHub.

What’s most likely happening

  1. You reviewed the card at 8:03 on your iPad.
  2. That review didn’t reach AnkiWeb before you opened Anki on your computer.
  3. Your computer downloaded an older state (where that card was still due today), so Anki gave it to you again at 10:25.
  4. Now the history shows two reviews on the same day, because each device thought it was legitimately due.

How to prevent this going forward

On each device (iPad, iPhone, computer):

  1. Before studying

    • Open Anki / AnkiMobile.
    • Immediately sync first.
    • Wait for sync to fully finish (no spinner / progress bar).

  2. After finishing your session

    • Sync again before closing the app or switching devices.

  3. For a one‑time “clean slate”:

    On the device you consider authoritative (usually your computer):

    1. Sync.
    2. Go to another device → when prompted, choose “Download from AnkiWeb” (so it exactly matches AnkiWeb).
    3. Repeat for the third device.

This ensures all three are identical and prevents partial / out‑of‑date states.

About AnkiHub in this context

AnkiHub is only updating the note content and tags, not the scheduling. What you’re seeing should not be caused by AnkiHub, and your screenshot/history look consistent with normal Anki behavior under imperfect syncing.

If you still see cards repeating on the same device without switching devices, that would be more concerning—if that happens, could you grab another Card Info screenshot showing two same‑day reviews on that one device and share it?
