Hi everyone,
I’d like to know whether there’s a way to configure the daily time range when Wanikani is pushing new reviews. Ideally I’d like to have them all in one go in the morning and not to have to wait til 10 pm.
Thanks!

There is no way to configure the SRS intervals, and the timing of the reviews is based solely on what SRS stage they are at.
A new item’s 1st review after 4 hours to move to Apprentice 2. Then the next step 8 hours after that, etc. So when reviews come is based on when you do lessons.
A lack of something to do on WK can be something that’s annoying in the first few levels, but if you do lessons every day, things will later settle on 100-200 reviews a day. Busier times are ahead! …And will mercilessly last for a year or two.
Maybe look into grammar with the free time you have right now, so that you’ll be able to read and use kanji as soon as possible.

you have to do your lessons at a different time to get the reviews to move
it sounds like you’re doing lessons in the morning, then reviewing them four hours later, then the next time is at night, which is where it will stay
i would suggest doing lessons in the afternoon so that you can do one review in the evening, then they will be back in the morning for the foreseeable future

Hi,
Thanks. I’m around 100 reviews already throughout the day at the moment. I just would like them to be more at a specific time. I guess I just have to accept to skip some for a few days in a row so that reviews get a bit more in sync. But I’m sure you all understand this very bad feeling of going to bed with a few pending reviews!

could’ve sworn i deleted my reply 
, but now it’s too late
probably due to the bell internet issues today
anyway, i actually don’t know that feeling 
i know a lot of people do and try to always be at zero by the end of the day
i, on the other hand, purposefully leave some reviews for later if the day is looking rather sparse
Apprentices and low SRS items should benefit from timely reviews and zeroing reviews. Older items or high SRS might not so much.
As long as review sorting is random. Otherwise, with lower level first sorting, even Guru or Master can get months later than expected. Too much challenge to the limits of forgetting.
Well, I only leave often some reviews after the reset, and that delays level up, until I try to clear the reviews. Along the line of, be prepared to do more or less 100 reviews every day. (at least not 200 or 400.)
This will never be added. Every other SRS program has this basic ““feature”” but wanikani never will, they don’t add any features in general just FYI.
Here’s my post asking the same thing years ago.
I raised this again in a separate thread and even got a direct response from the owner. This is a 1 day change that they would be able to do but simply won’t, their system already knows every review that is due for you that day, they simply need to have logic which makes the ‘start review’ button retrieve all reviews due on the current day. However sadly it won’t be implemented.
