Hi Farida,

I see you’re having trouble adding the AnKing deck to your AnkiDroid app. Based on information from our community, there’s an important limitation to be aware of:

AnkiHub requires a computer/laptop first.

As mentioned by our moderator in a related thread:

You’ll need a laptop/PC first to download the AnkiHub add-on and install decks

The AnkiHub add-on can only be installed on the desktop version of Anki, not directly on AnkiDroid. The typical workflow is:

  1. Install Anki desktop on a computer
  2. Install the AnkiHub add-on on your desktop Anki
  3. Subscribe to and download the AnKing deck through the desktop version
  4. Sync your Anki account
  5. Then access the deck on AnkiDroid through your AnkiWeb account

Unfortunately, there’s no way to install AnkiHub directly on AnkiDroid without first setting it up on a computer.

If you don’t have access to a laptop/PC, you might want to:

  • Borrow a computer from a friend or use a public computer (library, etc.) to set up AnkiHub
  • Consider using older versions of the AnKing deck that can be downloaded directly without AnkiHub (though these won’t receive updates)

Is there someone who could help you with the initial setup on a computer? Or do you have any other questions about this process?

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, because of the way that the Anki software is written, it’s not possible to run add-ons on mobile devices. Thus, in order to fully set up and sync AnkiHub, you’ll want to have access to a desktop computer at least for the initial sync.

Once you’ve done that first sync on a desktop, though, you can then cross-sync to mobile devices without a hitch. Personally, I review Anki cards on iPhone and iPad daily, so it’s definitely possible. You’ll just want to have access to a desktop for at least that very first portion.

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if there’s anything else I can help with. :slight_smile:

Hi Farida,

I see you’re experiencing the ā€œAnkiHub sync cancelledā€ error when trying to sync after installing the AnkiHub add-on. This is a known issue that others have experienced too. Let’s try to resolve it with these steps:

  1. First, make sure you’re using the latest version of Anki

  2. If the error persists after updating, try this simple fix:

    • Open Anki
    • At the bottom of the screen, click on ā€œCreate Deckā€
    • Name it anything you like (e.g., ā€œTestā€)
    • Add a simple card to this deck (just write anything in it)
    • Try syncing again

This solution has helped other users with the same error message. The issue sometimes occurs when there’s no content in your Anki collection before attempting to sync with AnkiHub.

If these steps don’t work, please let me know and we can try some additional troubleshooting methods. Once we get the sync working, you’ll be able to subscribe to the AnKing deck and then sync it to your AnkiDroid app.

Gotcha, I’d be happy to help. :slight_smile:

Can you do a couple of things real quick:

From your top menu bar: Anki - About Anki, and let me know the version number you see there.
Also from your top menu bar: AnkiHub - Help - Upload logs, and let me know the filename you see there.

Give that a shot, let me know how you fare, and we’ll go from there and hopefully we can get you squared away. :slight_smile:

Version ⁨25.07.5 (7172b2d2)

Perf, thank you for that. :slight_smile:
