Best App for WaniKani
The app helps me learn on the go and is easy to use, hopefully we can get a widget soon for the home screen, would love to see my reviews to be completed via from the home screen with a turtle icon
This app is the best for learning kanji
Seriously, there is nothing that can top wani Kani. The SRS is slow at first but when you get going you can learn kanji very quickly. Keep up with your lessons and it won’t become overwhelming
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.

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.

The only reason I use Wanikani
Don’t get me wrong, Wanikani is a great website, but its mobile support has always been lacking. This app is the sole reason I get any lessons or reviews done.
It’s lightweight, supports extensions, and has offline support.
Phenomenal app

Great but recent bug
“Rib cage” is bugged

Image for radical “ribcage” is missing.
Awesome.
This is a really excellent app. It’s super easy to use and syncs better than almost anything else I’ve seen. It can go offline for a while but still syncs as soon as everything comes back. One tiny gripe. I’ve just put wanikani in holiday mode and the review count just goes up as if in normal mode. Once you switch off holiday mode it’s all fine but just a little stressful seeing that number go crazy high. Still 5 stars. A great app. Thanks.

Excellent App, Been Using For Years
This app has been an absolute lifesaver. Super easy to just review a few kanji in passing and has nearly every functionality WaniKani has.
Wish there was the ability to unburn Kanji like on the site but this app is absolutely more than I could ask for.

Very thankful for this app
This app has made wanikani much more valuable to me. Thank you to the dev! This rocks.

They make you wait too long to learn new stuff
Happy
I am so happy this exists. I love wanikani on my desktop but the mobile experience was lacking until I found this app. How do we donate to the developer? There should be an option in the options.
Does not match Wanikani on the whole
Unfortunately if you use the WaniKani website to study and then practice on this app, you can be forgiven for thinking you have gotten the kanji wrong. This app doesn’t match the onyomi and kunyomi you learned in the lessons. So you are prompted to enter exactly what reading the app has stored in its database.
I like to give varying responses to each so I reinforce all of what I have learnt in the lessons. Same goes for the various meanings of a kanji. The primary and alternatives. I have not had issues with the meanings as yet.
If all the readings were added, it would be great.

Essential
Really good app for doing reviews on the go. I mainly use this app to access wanikani.
Flickering Screen
During vocab review, the purple background flickers between a slightly warm shade of purple and a cooler shade of purple. Not sure what's happening. It's not consistent, it maybe happens half the time, but once it gets going it usually doesn't stop. I'm using dark mode, and it's likely not based on my specific device because I've tried two different phones and the same thing happens. Might only be triggered after a certain amount of time, since I only noticed it now that I had a big stack of 70+ reviews. Very distracting.
Otherwise love the app, and the ability to use Wanikani on mobile without the website!

APP WILL NOT ACCEPT PASSWORD
I keep getting an error that references an API TOKEN. The app is unusable. The website appears to work properly so far.
Amazing App
This is a great app that does exactly as it says on the tin. It allows me to do my reviews wherever i want on my phone. I’m glad the developer stepped up and made this app when the Wanikani devs didn’t.
