Use both if you can: questions show you what you don't know, and spaced-repetition cards keep what you learn. If time is short, many students prioritize questions and add a focused card deck for missed facts.
Anki's desktop version (Windows, macOS, Linux) and AnkiDroid for Android are free. The official iOS app, AnkiMobile, is paid and funds Anki's development.
Many students turn each missed question into one or two short cards about the key fact or mechanism, which ties the two together.
They solve different problems. Use a question bank to find and fix gaps in reasoning, and Anki to keep the facts you fix. Progress Note’s free question banks schedule spaced review of what you miss automatically.
