Hello :waving_hand: We just launched an update to WaniKani! You might notice some of the changes right away, and others not at all, but hopefully they add up to a nicer user experience overall. This update also sets us up to make more improvements more quickly in future, which is actually the main …

Yeah I think some of the backlash is a bit extreme, but also I understand that when you have a well established routine it’s frustrating to wake up and realize that suddenly you functionally can’t do you reviews the way you’re used to.
