You can adjust the number of cards that get pulled into a given review session. You can also do multiple review sessions. I'm confused as to the problem here.

The problem is you can't go through a whole deck like you can with real flashcards. It becomes a lottery as to what cards you might get. You don't know what cards you didn't see. This was the biggest frustration my wife experienced trying to use it.

For med students, you need to be able to hit a whole deck in a day. There's too much information to ingest to not do that.

you can do that in anki, just not by default.
