With the previous dashboard, you were able to hover over a kanji to see when the next review would be. Can’t do this anymore?
Now I have to click each individual kanji and scroll to the bottom to see when the next review is. Inconvenient compared to the previous version.
If there’s something I need to do to change it back, please let me know. Thanks.
This feature has indeed been removed with no setting toggle to bring it back, nor (as far as I am aware) a userscript to restore it. I and many other users on the forums here have detailed our frustration with this, and it has at the very least been noticed by WK staff- though any tangible word on if/when it will return has yet to be formally laid out.
Here’s to hoping- I miss it immensely too.
Cheers dracky for the reply. Glad I’m not the only one who misses it.
I agree. That’s really necessary and useful. I think that that’s definitely something they should add soon

Feel free to send an email detailing how you were using this feature, maybe it will help them.
I feel a bit like I am begging for someone to give me back my tool and if my story is nice enough / convinces them, they will give it back, but here we are…
Thank you for sharing this, I will send one!
By the way I dont know how you have been doing since the Dashboard announcement and our replies to it, but personally the only issue I really have is with the loss of the hover.
I tracked time, and noticed I lost a few days due to forgetting the “optimal” timings. Like it’s directly impacting my studies, I dont know what more is needed 
Have you had this issue as well or have you been able to find another way ?
There has absolutely been a tangible, negative impact on my studies since having the feature removed, I’d say.
By design, apprentice items are supposed to show up very frequently in reviews. The point is that you have very small windows of time between practice initially to hammer in the content- just taking one giant swing at reviews every day misses the point since something like a 3 or 7 hour gap in review time will just always default to 24. To best use the system and to best keep a good pace, you need good tools to plan.
Among other responsibilities, I am a full time student divorced from Japanese study- so on any given day I am sitting at my desk and working on assignments. Having something like a little hover tool made it so I knew optimal points to take a break from that to ensure I am on track here with Kanji study. “Oh, I can keep working for a little bit now since I know the best time to sit with the content isn’t for another 2 hours” or “I can do some reviews tonight that will perfectly line up with another batch first thing in the morning”, etc.
I guess it is “possible” to still have that kind of foresight, but I don’t have a bunch of time to waste in any given day- and I certainly am not going to spend it
Especially since the previous alternative to that flow was
So the current study plan is to just bear with the considerably less optimal and hope I just pick good times to work. It sucks to sit down and do a bunch of reviews knowing that if I had waited a little longer, my review session would’ve been dramatically more productive- and that continuous cycle of wasted opportunity has absolutely added up.
I’ve been very critical of other elements that have impacted my workflow (like the new non-dashboard UI), but this one is strikingly disappointing since it’s really the only feature that is just straight-up regression/removal. Really, really hoping they fix it soon.
That’s exactly what I pointed out in my email. The planning aspect out of it all. Removing the only “time” measure in the Wanikani tool kinda removed that aspect.
I also said exactly lthis, to a T LMAO.
Honestly I dont have much more to add to the matter, I am basically screaming at a wall here.
I would send this exact text to them if you ever decide to make an email to them as they proposed 
Your english is much better than mine and your thoughts better organized, so it would probably help them more than mine.
That’s exactly how I ended up “wasting” a day or two as well. I mean it’s a bit crazy that this tool straight up became worse in visible and measurable way (I am losing time / missing timings), but there is such a need to justify not putting it back.
Yeah… I dont even know what to say about this or why there is such a need for “justification” to bring it back..
It also sucks having to be so critical, and the more pushback from staff, the more it’s getting a bit “tensed” for us. I just wish they put it back and I could go back to shitpost about my progress and do my reviews.. I dont love this back and forth
I’m glad that we are on the same page with it all, it definitely is reassuring that I am not the only one dealing with it’s removal (not to mention this whole thread + many other comments in others). Even if we end up saying a lot of the same stuff, there is strength in numbers that hopefully would encourage change sooner
Sounds like a good plan, that’s what I was thinking too. Detailed my thoughts pretty well so might as well just use it again haha
Luckily from my experience talking with WK staff they always are consistently very kind- even if ultimately a lot of conversation has been predicated on frustration. I definitely feel your pain there and don’t like being so criticial towards this service I otherwise really love- and hope that it doesn’t create too much friction that we are advocating for it to be in it’s best form. I hope any staff reading this knows that our criticism is from a place of love, and we do indeed understand that it’s not “easy” to run/maintain/etc. a site like this- but it would also be a disservice to not encourage it to improve when there is fault
I’ll send my email before too long, and encourage anyone else in this thread (or otherwise) to do so as well if they are in a similar position as us
I dont know why but despite being fluent (it’s my 2nd language), I always have trouble articulating my thoughts in english: this is exactly my feeling. .
Thanks for being so thoughtful!
Yeah, like I said in another thread, I couldnt give 2 cents about any other app, I barely have any on my phone despite being a UX designer and whatnot, so I also understand challenges of feedbacks and new features.
But when it’s something that works and that I really love using for years… Damn.
