Is there such a thing? My katakana is a horrid mess. The exposure WK gave me to hiragana made me read it quite fluently. I thought that the same process could be applied to katakana now. Surely someone else must have had a similar thought and have done it?

I use this:

From now on you need to answer your on’yomi readings in katakana. The input field automatically changes your input to katakana, so don’t worry just answer them like you always did.

It is also helpful to see what is ON and KUN with a quick look.

Almost perfect; since most is onyomi anyway it should certainly give me enough exposure.

Many thanks.
