Great app but vacation mode does not work

I loved the old Wanikani app, so when they discontinued it and went to a third-party developer that makes Tsurukume, I switched over to it. It was fine until I needed a break and turned on vacation mode. This is supposed to pause everything and stop having new lessons and reviews pile up while you’re taking a break from the app. Instead, I came back to find 280 lessons and 1721 reviews that I had to deal with. On the Wanikani website, it showed 5 lessons and 120 reviews. I guess I will have to use the website instead.

Do not download this app until they make it work properly

Better than using the site, but a couple of nitpicks

I like anki mode and back to back reviews, both of which require scripts that are constantly at risk of breaking on the main site. Frankly if I had to manually type 100 reviews a day, I’d quit. Don’t have the time or patience for that. Two small nitpicks I have though, is I wish you could hide the accuracy percentage during reviews, and disable the review summary once done. Both are distracting and make bad days feel worse by emphasizing my failures. I don’t know if the dev even reads these, but these two small features would make the app perfect for me. Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks for the continued to support

I’ve really appreciated using this app on both desktop and mobile. Happy with the improvement and fixes in the recent update. Thanks!

Good, but I have a suggestion

Really like Wani kani, kanji is lovely. App is smooth, and only crashes if I leave it open in the background for hours.

My one and only complaint is I wish kunyomi and onyomi readings were differentiated, or it let me know which was which. On the browser version of Wani kani, this is so. It’s the only downgrade from the OG to Tsurukame.

Great supplement

WaniKani has a lot of shortcomings that are covered up by this app. I honestly don’t think it’s worth getting WaniKani without this.

The recent improvements like blurring example sentences until touched are amazing.
