I get to answer my own question after completing them. Was added to the Guru count!

It depends on which apprentice level the items are on. There are four. If the items are already on apprentice 4, they will go to Guru afterwards. If they are still lower, they will stay in apprentice, but move one apprentice level higher.
But in the graph they are always displayed with the level they are currently on (before you do those reviews).

Ok, I got you. That was helpful. How about the numbers with green highlights which are above the graph 1 2 4 11 
. What do they represent?

This shows how many items are in this review pile that would let you level up (eventually). This means apprentice (level 1-4) radical and kanji of the current level. Because when you guru all of those, you will get a level up.
So for example in the first pile 1 of the 16 items will get you nearer to the level up. So presumably 1 is a kanji and 15 are vocabulary (or a kanji of a previous level)
Btw. for kanji you donât need to guru them all though, only a certain percentage - you can see that in the level progression chart on the kanji bar. You only have to guru them to fill it up to the black line on the right hand side of the bar for a level up.

I was wondering if there was a way to see the amount of lessons that I did today? It would be a good motivation for me to hit 20 lessons a day.

Hello! I just discovered this amazing app, thanks so much to the various developers who built this app and keep it up and running 
I was wondering if Iâm the only one who would be interested in having the Leaderboard feature implementedâŠ?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work

Not possible from the app as far as I know, but you can see it if you install the userscript Wanikani Heatmap, then it will be on your Dashboard (the default view is Reviews but you can switch to Lessons, Reviews is a bit broken and only show reviews that you did on the same devide, so nothing for you if you do in the app, but the lessons are shown anyway):

Hey guys I have a question!
I just started using this app and am trying to figure out optimal settings for me. When trying it out in the default settings i noticed i was missing the possibility to review additional info (such as the Mnemonic etc.) when getting an answer correct. I found the âshow infodump after correct answerâ setting, and put it on âshow all informationâ, but there was no change. Did i misunderstand the change this setting was supposed to do, is there another way I can get additional info displayed after correcr answers, is this some kind of a bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have it turned on too and it only shows after a wrong answer, I think thatâs normal. If I want to see info on a right answer, after Iâve clicked on the green button and Iâm on the next review, I click on the menu on âLast completed itemâ

Thanks for the reply! I just checked and there was no button for âlast completed itemâ in my menu, it jumps straight from session log to abandon session. Do I have to activate/ change some setting for the button to appear there?
Hm I canât find something specific in the settings but might be because I have meaning and reading back to back:
And here are my Subject Info settings:

It can be a little confusing which settings need to be on or of to make things show - I could probably add some context info to talk about this, but itâs a bit of an edge case and low on the priorities.
If youâve got Show info dump⊠already set to show all info after correct readings and meanings, it will show up, but only if youâve got Lightening Mode (Settings > Lesson/Review Settings) turned off:
The problem is that Lightning Mode makes it auto-advance without giving it time to show any info.

If talking about the WaniKani Leaderboard Script then while itâs not impossible - it would be suuuuper hard.
The app gets all the info from the API and you can only get your own information through that. The leaderboard script works because it lives in the browser, where it can make http requests easily to the site to get the level, etc. for each user you follow:
//we get user information from the profile page e.g. wanikani.com/users/koichi
let userNameStart = xmlhttp.responseText.indexOf("<title>WaniKani / Profile / ");
let userLevelStart = xmlhttp.responseText.indexOf(",\"level\":");
let userGravatarStart = xmlhttp.responseText.indexOf("\",\"gravatar\":\"");
let userSRSDistributionStart =
Now, the app COULD do this - the profile pages donât require you to be signed in to see them - but the difference here is that the API is pretty efficient, but making lots of HTTP requests to different pages is NOT.
That wouldnât be an issue with asynchronous loading, technically, all the important info being pulled in by the API would be handled by a separate process⊠but itâs such an edge case, and not one that Iâve had requested before, that implementing it doesnât reeaaaally seem worth the dev time.

Hi Joeni, thanks so much for the detailed answer!
After reading your answer I now also believe it would not be worth all the time needed to implement this. 
Cheers!

Some user scripts or âExtra Studyâ seem to offer the option to review burned items. Iâve wondered if this would be feasible through the API/the app. If remembered right after X days, the item could remain burned, otherwise back to the pile.
(Quoted you here so as not to distract too much from the other appâs topic)
The theming in SD should let you change the background colour, and several of the themes do.
Since e-ink devices that run Android are (although still niche) becoming more commonplace, Iâd be happy to look into making the theming support the better. What colours do you feel would be best suit e-ink? Simple greyscale elements on white background?
(I use e-readers, so have some idea of good contrast, etc., but Iâd appreciate knowing what you feel would work best)
You can start a self-study quiz from the main screen which gives you the ability to review items, including selecting how long itâs been burned from, etc.
The only way to put an item back into your real review pile is to resurrect it. Browser extensions are able to do this because they can use the internal web endpoint for resurrecting an item, which works as youâre logged into an active web session.
This functionality isnât available in the API, unfortunately.

Thanks. I had forgotten about the self-study quiz. While weâre at it, did you notice it has two indistinguishable selectors labeled âvocabularyâ in the âSubject typeâ section?
I couldnât find the option to change the background color in the theme customization screen, here for example, none of these options are the #000 background color.
Currently I use a browser extension to change all the backgrounds I can to white, and remove any fancy background patterns or gradients.
Iâd be fine with black and white honestly, thatâs what looks best on e-ink
I apologize if these questions have been asked as Iâve tried searching them here and in the Flaming Durtles thread for a good hour but I seem to be stuck.
1 - How do you make it that you can re-input / answer again when itâs a wrong answer without seeing the correct answer yet? This is because Iâm used to âDouble Checkâ a LOT in the browser. The current behavior is that whenever I input a wrong answer in the reviews, I made the answer hidden. I try to tap / go back to enter a new answer, but instead, when I tap / go back, it goes to the top menu, where all you can do is âresume sessionâ. When you tap âresume sessionâ, itâs just back to where the answer is written and you can only tap on ânextâ instead of trying to enter the answer
2 - What would be the settings equal to Reorder Omegaâs âSpeed Demonâ in reviews? I donât know which to choose in the Settings > Advanced Settings > Order.
Thank you very much!
