Exciting update from the Anki team at AMBOSS: we've been working on figuring out a way to bring AMBOSS pop-ups to your Anki mobile app — we think having this would be a big deal, and we hope you think so too! 🥳

How it works: the add-on will insert a tiny snippet to your card templates, which enables the AMBOSS add-on for iOS AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid, and AnkiWeb. You can disable this at any point through the add-on options (see FAQs).

We hope you like it and can now AMBOSS everywhere that you Anki!

💙 Your AMBOSS-Anki Team,

Anna, Marius, Yann & Aristotelis
