I have came across kitsun.io and it looks really good so i’m just wondering if you think it will be worth the £6 per month?

I looked at it but decided to not use it. My goal is to study non-WK kanji/vocabulary in in a similar interface as WK but offline so I decided to use Anki with:
- Hikekidori 's WK mode (from his Complete 10k deck).
- Auto rated typed answer add-on

I have used anki for 9 months anki i moved away from it to start wanikani
Why did you want to stop using Anki? Normally I’d be upselling Kitsun here, but the core functionality of both platforms is being an SRS application. I wouldn’t consider WK a good replacement for Anki/Kitsun since it’s pretty much laser focused on kanji studies. If all you care about is kanji for now then I wouldn’t recommend using either platform.
I use Kitsun because it’s a straight upgrade to Anki for me that makes studying less of a chore and integrates well with how I want to mine vocab on my own. There are a lot of people who disagree and find Anki sufficient. The free trial will probably provide better insight than what I could say here anyway.

with anki (for me) there was just too much to think about (like what deck is the best what are the best intervals how do i go into a card type and edit it to what i want etc) and i wasn’t learning well enough with it so i decided to try wanikani and it is perfect for me and is everything i was looking for but i was thinking what do i do after wanikani and came across kitsun.io which seemed perfect (except for the price tag) however i was just curious on if it was worth it or not as it seemed to be a direct upgrade to anki and i felt that it would be easier to work with

What exactly do you want to study after WK? If it is grammar, bunpro is a better choice than kitsun; if it is vocabulary, it makes more sense to read books and add the new words into your own deck in whatever platform you prefer…
Kitsun is pretty easy to use, but if it’s worth it or not really depends on what you mean by “after WK”. If you mean vocabulary and is just looking for a more user friendly Anki, then sure, go for it.

Afaik my mining setup wouldn’t even work on kitsun and I don’t think it offers anything I want that Anki doesn’t, so not only is it not worth the 6 dollars but I probably wouldn’t even use it if you paid me.

I have lifetime subscriptions of WK, BunPro, iKnow.jp, and Kitsun. Of all of them, the only one I use regularly is WK. I see it as supporting the development of Japanese learning tools, and hopefully encouraging others to develop other tools. If you don’t offer lifetime subscription, then you don’t get my money.

Absolutely. I like the interface. Makes me more likely to use it. Tried anki in the past and just found it too tedious. Stuck with Kitsun though.
