So I entered a random thing; pulled up from the middle; re-studied the card; and then entered the right answer. But the app still advanced my level on that card and counted it as correct.
I had the impression it was doing that, but today I paid attention and it really does. It never flags a card as wrong!
You only get that marked as wrong if you actually press the arrow to the right in the screenshot below. If you press the redo button on the left, it will let you correct your answer and to submit it without getting the initial answer marked as wrong (handy for fixing typos, but can obviously be abused to correct wrong answers):
Great app for iOS. I was looking for a flaming Durtles equivalent on ipad, so thank you!
Feature request and thoughts:
to allow access to the settings and browsing the kanji whilst in a review. Currently you have to finish the session before you can do anything else.
auto keyboard swap if at all possible on iOS
bigger/adjustable font size for reviews as well as on the info slide-up. It’s a little too small for iPad.
kanji, vocabulary, radical reading/meaning banner should be coloured. To me at least, this is more important than the SRS colour or the colour of the input box
English/kana inputs would be great if rejected for when the wrong input language is used
some kind of confirmation animation on a correct answer, maybe a little green tick. With auto-correct-next on, it feels like an answer is rejected rather than confirmed and correct. Or could just use that green bar or every correct answer.
Currently it requires a bit too much cognitive effort required to swap between input types and effortlessly understanding which answer it’s asking for. Flaming Durtles is excellent in this regard, it’s great for reactive input. Maybe takes some more getting use to, but I may still favour reaching for my android phone at the moment. But will be keeping this app certainly.
Fantastic app. The Android version has a nice clean layout and is highly discoverable. I didn’t have a single problem until a couple days ago when I noticed 3 items are now stuck in review. Even after answering them correctly they aren’t removed. It’s pretty annoying to see the the same 3 items appear repeatedly every time I try and clear my reviews. I tried reinstalling the app but no luck .
Another issue is that sign-in button doesn’t seem to do anything when I hit it. There’s no message or indication so it’s unclear if the button is even doing anything. I always have to take the option to provide the API token - which I actually like better since it doesn’t require me to give out a password lol.
I checked the allow list and block list for these two terms. It is empty. If the app implements typo tolerance like Wanikani does the error is bound to happen. @Mods is this something that should go to the block list? i mean regardless whether this is a bug in the app. The transitive/intransitive pair shouldn’t be confused with typo tolerance, right?
A suggestion to @Mods : maybe do a systematic review of all the transitive/intransitive pairs on WK and make sure this basic error is in the block list. There is no need to wait for a user complain to fix this.
By the way, I keep finding mistakes that Jakeipuu (or Wanikani?) doesn’t catch.
Latest one was 名所. I had been entering “place name” for a while and only today checked the card out of curiosity and saw that it was actually “famous place”!
How does “place name” get accepted as a spelling mistake for “famous place”?
Is it Jakeipuu’s fault or Wanikani’s?
Can I disable the typo tolerance altogether?
Especially since I’m using an app with an undo button.
I just checked to see what we have on our allow or block list for this word and we don’t have anything at the moment, which means that you’re getting ‘place name’ right because it’s got enough correct letters to ‘famous place’. The order doesn’t matter for the typo tolerance.
Wait, the order does not matter? So I can type in anagrams???
The country side = No city dust here
Dormitory = Dirty room
Astronomers = No more stars
This makes no sense. Please implement a proper word distance algorithm (you can find them on Wikipedia) or give me an option to turn the anagram function off altogether.
I have really been enjoying this app on iOS, thank you!
I hope you will be able to reach an agreement with Apple at some point.
Currently, there are three reviews that I just can’t get rid of, no matter how many times I get them right. Maybe something to with me unlocking them years ago but Wanikani moving them to levels I have not unlocked yet?
