A new native Android app

I can’t seem to find where to download the app, could you post a link please

The app isn’t generally available at the moment as it still in a closed test available to registered testers only. In order to download it, you would have to add your email to the spreadsheet so I can you to the testers list.

@david_19 I have added you to the tester list. Please join and download the app with the first link in the spreadsheet.

Ok thank you!

Hey so I recently came back from a year-long hiatus from WaniKani and so I noticed that the burned items self-study hasn’t updated on the app compared to the site:


Did you at anytime reset your burned?

Someone requested a timeline/stat feature. Please share more details on what this feature is about and what you’d like to see if implemented. Others can add their input too. Please also include where you would like this feature be added, options are the dashboard, overflow menu, drawer and profile.

If you requested the Anki mode feature, please share your thoughts on the feature, design elements/style and maybe a video/photos of a similar feature you saw in another app.

Yea I resurrected some of them

Also, a feature to mass-resurrect burned items would be nice, if possible.

That explains the discrepancy. I will have to exclude resurrected previously burned items.

I’m not sure the API provides for this so might get tricky and all, suffice to say I might not take on adding such feature.

If you think that’s valuable, can you work on a double-check or go-back feature?
I’m making a lot of typos since the mobile keyboard is so small and I tend to try and go fast, perhaps other people are also struggling with this. It would be cool to have a way to “cheat” and go back an answer just to fix the typo.

Thanks for considering anyways and for the work so far, it’s been great :slight_smile:

@prouleau I got around to implementing your test for failed last review and you were spot on. Thank you! For this reason, users won’t have to worry about their recent mistakes not syncing because the data already exists just needed your test.

@jnouel this is one issue you always pointed out and I am glad to let you know it won’t be a problem any going forward.

@prouleau I really appreciate the effort and because of you the app is one feature better.

If I’m not mistaken, recent lessons are not actually time-based despite the name. The definition is here: Extra Study | WaniKani Knowledge

Any item you’ve learned in lessons and haven’t Guru’d in your reviews will be part of Recent Lessons mode. Once you complete your reviews and the item moves to the Guru stage, this will no longer remain in Recent Lessons.
A recent lesson can be a recent mistake too.

So, a recent lesson is just one that hasn’t been passed yet. passed_at == null on the assignment.


The definition of a recent mistake has changed since its inception as well, but has always included a time component. The initial forum post originally said:

Q. A Recent Mistake I had in the past 24 hours disappeared, what happened?
Most likely, you got that item correct in a Reviews session after getting it wrong in a previous Reviews session. If you get an item correct in a Reviews session before 24 hours have gone by, it disappears from the Recent Mistakes list.

But the extra study page now says:

Any item you’ve made a mistake on within the last 24 hours of doing reviews will be part of this mode. Even if you got an item right in the last hour, but you got it wrong 10 hours ago, it’ll be part of Recent Mistakes.

Both Recent Lessons and Recent Mistakes are there to help you be successful in your Reviews. Use them as much as you’d like, but only if you have the time for it. It’s called Extra Study for a reason, so don’t worry if you can’t get to them either.

I think the calculations for recent mistakes in terms of “what have I messed up on” is correct; however, your formula unfortunately does not take into account the 24 hour aspect of recent mistakes. You probably need the data_updated_at field as well and make sure that happened within 24 hours; without checking time, a “recent mistake” would still show up 3 days later. Would using the data_updated_at (or similar) field be enough to fix the timing issue?

Yes, I added the time component in my implementation.

Great! :grin:

(Sorry, been lurking watching this for a while and decided to pop in when I spotted the above. Sounds like you got it taken care of, so carry on developing and learning! :smiley:)

It’s alright, I liked that you pointed it out as it allowed me to verify I included the time component.

My definitions of recent lesson and failed last review come from the Additional Filter script. They have nothing to do with the extra-study feature of the WK dashboard.

Could you also consider adding the ability to filter items on reviews? I’m forgetting some vocab that assume that you already know the kanji it’s using, which I don’t

Please expantiate on this as I did not understand.

Happy Birthday :partying_face:!!

Hi @DropaBombOnEm, I added you.
