[iOS] Tsurukame - native app with offline lessons and reviews

It happens to me on the WaniKani site as well on my Mac (macOS 11.0 beta) - the font is correct in the address, but not where the kanji is displayed.

Thereā€™s a small display error with the new vocabulary č»¢ćŒć™. Iā€™m not sure if this is to do with how Tsurukame displays things in the app or if this is a broken tag in WaniKaniā€™s item publishing system. I thought Iā€™d let you know here first though @UInt2048 :relaxed:

Usually when that happens, WK has a broken tag. Let them know about it :wink:

I notified the WK team about this meaning not being on the allow list, as it turned up as failed in Tsurukame. Rachel informed me that it should already be on the allow list, so I said Iā€™d give a nudge to you in terms of checking that the allow list is up to date.

Itā€™s really awesome that you are implementing an anki mode, but it looks like it requires three precise button presses per question to answer. If you did something like Juken where you swipe to indicate if the answer is right/wrong, then it would only require one precise button press to show the answer + one swipe to indicate right/wrong, which is faster, fewer actions, and requires less concentration. That could allow one to focus more on the reviews.

Today I suddenly getting Logged out of the App with the following message: ā€œYour API Token expired - please log in again.ā€ and when I log in again I instantly get the same error message and get logged out again.
Does someone else have this problem?

EDIT: Reinstallation has helped, but as soon, as I finish lessons or a review session Iā€™m getting logged out again.

Try uninstalling, removing the API token on the website named ā€œTsurukameā€ and then try reinstalling it again.

Removing the API Tokens has helped, somehow I had two Tsurukame API tokens and one didnā€™t have any permissions.
Thank you :slight_smile:

Thanks Davidandsome for making this app.

I have an add-on for the desktop version of WK that lets me see context sentences during reviews. The context sentence usually increases my memory recall, and assists me in providing the right answer when I would otherwise forget the meaning or pronunciation and have to review the word again and again.

Have you considered adding something like this to your App?

Here is a link to the thread about the addon, in case it helps give you an idea of how it looks and works:

I agreeā€¦ ideally Iā€™d like to be able to just tap in the same place two times for each card (tap to reveal, tap to mark as correct). The Anki app lets you tap anywhere on the right side of the screen for correct and left side for incorrect. Maybe allowing swipes too would be good for people using large phones one-handed.

Yes please add any functionality that allows us to say we know the answer without typing it

Iā€™m doing 100+ reviews a day and itā€™s starting to hurt

Hello. Why it says user and/or password is incorrect on my iphone?

There was a WK outage recently. Does it work correctly now?

Iā€™ve been using Anki mode myself now, itā€™s actually quite convenient. Iā€™ve reduced the number of required taps to two by making it automatically display the answer-correct popup.

If you want to test it, Iā€™ve just attempted to release Koraigame 824+14.4 (my legacy/experimental fork of Tsurukame).

You should be able to sideload the IPA provided using AltStore, etc.:

Hi @davidsansome! I just wanted to say that I love Tsurukame, itā€™s way better than the other options for iOS and I use it a lot as a complement to the WaniKani website itself!

Keep up the great work and will keep you updated on new features or things that I miss! (Iā€™ll probably do this on GitHub, since Iā€™m also a developer :wink:)

Thanks very much for Tsurukame! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I recently returned to Tsurukame after a long period of desktop-only WK usage, and I think I found a small glitch:

The topmost kanji below the ā€žApprentice 3ā€œ separator is actually on Apprentice 4.

itā€™s a known error. but itā€™s purely a wrong display, the items still are in their actual categories.

apparently itā€™s fixed in the development/beta version, but iā€™m just waiting for whenever they issue a proper update ^^

I have been trying for weeks to get my Apprentice queue down to 0 but for some reason it remind at 1 after countless review sessions via the app Tsurukame. So today I logged into my account online and I see this discrepancy.

Has anyone had this problem? I have tried logging out of the app and back in but it is still showing 1 in my Apprentice queue. Sometimes I put off on starting new level material until I have cleared so I am hoping that there is someone to fix this.

It might be caused by the content updates. You could try deleting and reinstalling the app and logging in again to see if that fixes it. Or it might be related to the post above yours.

Thank you for the reply. It didnā€™t work either. I guess if it is a known bug I will have to use a different app.
