Excuse me if this is dumb question but this is the second time I've downloaded AnkiDroid and... am I supposed to answer the questions in the app or just do it in my head and then click show answer. I don't see any buttons to answer the question or enter your answer in the app. I am dumb or is something not working right?


Answer the question in your head, show the answer, and click the button corresponding to how easy it was. It's digital flashcards.


Thank you for clarifying.


You can add cards with answerable fields, but after many thousands of reviews I think that simple front-back cards where you answer in your head are the most effective. The extra work to type out an answer is not worth the hassle at all.
