Yeah, I kinda feel the same about Tsurukame’s dashboard, WaniKani displays the information much clearer, but keep in mind that all the apps came before WaniKani had a dashboard overhaul about 2 years ago which added the review forecast and level progress interfaces. So the apps just had their own designs for how to display that info, and were often modelled after more technically-minded userscripts.
Personally, I only use Tsurukame for reviews on my phone when I can’t access my computer, but it’s main benefits to me are:
- WaniKani doesn’t have proper mobile formatting for the review interface,
- the keyboard disappears and reappears for every item and requires two taps, instead of one tap, since you have to press the return key then the next button,
- it’s much easier to make mistakes on a mobile keyboard, so I like the forgiveness of being able to mark an item as correct, and lastly,
- Tsurukame notifies you of new reviews.
But since you’re on an iPad, some of these points probably aren’t as relevant.
For this, I recommend that you follow up new lessons with reinforcement from BishBashBosh to avoid the issue altogether. It’s really helpful as it also gives you items you’re struggling with, such as oldest Apprentice and Guru items, which are likely to be leeches, as well your recently failed items.
