After reading through other sites, and getting side tracked by reviews (not complaining), I noticed that WaniKani doesn’t have all of the commonly used Kanji. Now, I’m nowhere near the end or the beginning of this site but I do want to know if the remaining Kanji will be added, and if not other site…

The Joyo kanji is what is used to define literacy for a Japanese adult, and as such, includes a number of Kanji that are not really used often these days either because they are remnants that have fallen out of use since the original Toyo Kanji was created, or only exist in the Japanese constitution…
