WaniKani API And Third-Party Apps

First all deepest thanks for making Smouldering Durtles and literally carrying on the flame of Flaming Durtles - it is by far my favorite Wanikani app and its features are a life safer and I’m truly thankful you’re maintaining it!

That said, I’ve decided to write because it seems I encountered a bug:
The required reading of the rice plant Kanji 稲 is different in Wanikani than in Smouldering Durtles, the app asks me to input とう (Onyomi) instead of いね or いな (Kunyomi) as its primary reading. This is a bit frustrating since the mnemonic is for the Kunyomi reading but SD doesn’t accept the Kunyomi readings. I also wonder if this is a “tip of the iceberg” phenomenon and more Kanji with differing readings will pop up from here on - in that case my notice might serve as a heads-up. It never happened before so its rather curious o.o

This was a bug with Wanikani’s API a few months ago. You’re still seeing it because your app downloaded that kanji’s data while the bug was active. You can fix it for that one item by selecting “sync this subject” from the dropdown menu while viewing it in the app. Or, you can use the “reset database” option in SD’s main settings menu to fix it for all items at once, but it’ll take a bit longer.
