I noticed the same thing BUT I figured out what the issue is. If you accidentally start typing Hiragana in the field when it actually asks for the English word, it will automatically block your entry and you can hit enter until you put in words in English. As seen in your screenshot it is asking for the āMeaningā (English translation) and not the onyomi not the kunyomi and not the Vocabulary reading. So āMeaningā is English, the other three is Hiragana. So in summary itās not a bug but a feature Hope this helps.
Any chance for landscape mode support? I tried doing it the normal Android way and it will enforce portrait, so I downloaded an app to do it and it scaled pretty poorly but itās usable.
No biggie just wondering if it could be an easy fix.
Dear @xip , Iām having trouble with the app. I accidentally generated a new API key and i canāt use the app anymore. nothing works so far, i have entered new key, reinstall, delete cache, even installed in other android but to no avail. it will still give the error āunknown errorā. Hopefully you could fix this. thanks
@xip yeah iāve tried generating another key and it gave me the same message. However, i tried it again today and it worked! Maybe for some reason it will take time for it to work again?
This is my go-to WK app, thanks. Ever considered putting in on Amazon for Fire devices? Admittedly I havenāt checked for a nice kana keyboard for Fire, but I can totally see myself doing reviews on the Fire Stick!
I appreciate all the work that you have been doing @xip ! Until now I only used the website once. Doing WK in your app makes everything a lot easier and confortable ^^
Unfortunately, Iām in a moment of my life when donating isnāt an option. However, I wonāt forget the work that you did and eventually Iāll donate! (:
One questionā¦ The Japanese keyboard from Samsung doesnāt really work. As you can see from the image below, this is how it is supposed to look every time I click a key. If I click on ānaā, I just then have to select āniā, ānuā, āneā or ānoā.
Inside the app, I have to click several times until I get what I want. For example, to get a ānoā I need to click 5 times. Is this something easy for you to fix? =/
Yes, Iāve noticed it too. Iāll look into it, but I canāt promise any dates.
Unfortunately, no. Iām hardly able to maintain the app as it is, another app store doesnāt sound fun.[quote=ājprspereira, post:172, topic:6035ā]

Thanks for the kind words! You donāt have to input kana though - just write the sounds in romaji.
Rather than thinking about it as typing in romaji, think of it as using a built in IME. Most Japanese people on computers type with the same IMEās, inputting romaji. Ultimately youāre typing in kana after the IME converts it.
I donāt think your thinking is wrong either, though. Thinking about it while doing my reviews, I could definitely put more focus on thinking about what Iām typing as kana and not romaji.
I mean, the Japanese keyboard works fine in the app. Itās just that it takes a lot more time than usual to write because the function that Iāve previously mentioned doesnāt work.
However, for people that just finished learning kana, it might feel a little awkward to go back to the bad habit of trying to think in roumanji. I remember that the moment I actually started thinking in kana was when I went from the Qwerty keyboard to the Kana one.
I think itās just something to keep in mind and not something to get hung up on. I think just looking more at the kana youāve typed before submitting an answer rather than quickly typing out a word and hitting enter/submit is probably sufficient. I have a habit of doing the latter. Quickly typing out a word and hitting, ensuring I havenāt made a mistake, and hitting enter. I could probably slow my pace a bit and look at what Iāve typed entirely in kana, rather than subconsciously thinking about it as romaji.
Any thoughts on maybe adding also notifications for the forum? Keep up the great work.
Hope this helps.
