Anki Review Pop-Up

Description

This Anki add-on allows users to display pop-up messages when answering flashcards. The pop-ups can contain images, audio, and text, and can be motivational. Users have the option to enable or disable each feature, such as audio, title, and image. The messages and images displayed in the pop-ups are randomly chosen from a list for each button (again, hard, good, and easy).

Installation

You can use one of the following ways to install Anki Review Pop-Up:

Using AnkiWeb

The easiest and safest way to install Anki Review Pop-Up is through Ankiweb. By installing Anki Review Pop-Up through AnkiWeb you can automatically install the version of the add-on that is compatible with your version of Anki; As new version of Anki Review Pop-Up may not be compatible with older versions of Anki.

To install using AnkiWeb follow these steps:

  1. Open Answer visual + auditory + custom text reinforcement add-on page on AnkiWeb and scroll to the download section.
  • You can see the supported versions of Anki in the download section of the add-on on AnkiWeb.
  1. Copy the code that's in download section.
  • Instead of going to AnkiWeb you can copy 976516370 and follow the steps 3 and 4.
  1. Open anki, go to Tools > Add-ons and then click on Get Add-ons...
  2. Paste the code that you copied from AnkiWeb there and click on Ok

Using the .ankiaddon file

This is also an easy way to install Anki Review Pop-Up but it doesn't guarantee that the version of the add-on that you install will be compatible with your version of anki. If you're using older versions of Anki I don't recommend you install the add-on using the add-on file.

If you want to install and specific version or an older version of the add-on, I recommend you use the *.ankiaddon file.

To install using .ankiaddon file follow these steps:

  1. Go to Rleases page and find the version of the add-on that you want.
  2. Click on the *.ankiaddon file and download it (you might have click on Assets to be able to see the *.ankiaddon file)
  3. Locate the *.ankiaddon file on your PC and double click to install.

Directly copying the add-on to Anki's add-ons folder

If you're not able to install the add-on using AnkiWeb and .ankiaddon, you can download the source code and copy it to the Anki add-ons folder.

To install by directly copying add-on files to Anki add-ons folder follow these steps:

  1. Go to Rleases page and find the version of the add-on that you want.
  2. Click on the Source code (zip) file and download it (you might have click on Assets to be able to see the Source code (zip) file)
  3. Extract the zip file and copy the folder inside it to C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21
  • You might need to re-name the extracted folder and delete the version code from the folder name. The folder containing the add-on files should be Anki-Review-Pop-Up instead of Anki-Review-Pop-Up.VERSION_TAG.

  • To open Anki add-ons folder you also can go to Tools > Add-ons and then click on View Files

Usage
