Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

I’ve been doing some Cloze reviews to polish my grammar.

Given the inevitability (and frustration) of synonyms and 2 ways to say the same thing, it might be nice if the “correct, but not quite right” attempts at a grammar review were listed, with their hints beside them. It’s a small UX change that would embrace the frustration, rather than try to avert it.

This could help mitigate a sense of going in circles. When you see a huge list of valid synonyms you’ve tried, it helps visualise how many synonyms you’re guessing from. And where a phrase has many alternative ways of saying to help compare and contrast those methods. It also helps revise those misses too.

For example:

“____ 寝坊したの?” (Answer is また)
Attempt 1 - 再び❌ - Searching for something less formal.
Attempt 2 - もう一度❌ - Searching for something less specific.
Attempt 3 - また✅

Maybe it’s a bit like Wordle in helping you build up clues to the correct answer.

Feature request: on the screen after being done with a review, you currently see the list of items you got right, and the list of items you got wrong.

I think it would be cool to have a counter that shows how often you got each item wrong in this review session.

I assume the information is already available internally since it’s used for the “minimal ghost creation” setting?

Feature request:

I’m not sure if this feature improvement is already requested or have been implemented (I have look around and didn’t find anything related to it), but could you make it so that after learning new grammar / vocabs, make the quiz in random order? Currently the order of the quiz is the same as the order of the items being learn. Sometimes I know the answer solely because I remember the order.

Thank you.

We made a change a little bit ago to have it work exactly like you mention, but it seems like something recently got tripped up in the system and reverted the change. Devs have been made aware and the fix will be relatively soon, thanks for bringing it to our attention! :bowing_man:

Hello,

Are there any ways to hide furigana for a custom set of Kanji ?

I do not use wanikani. So for now I set furigana on all kanji. However, with anki I learned N5 and N4 Kanji. But because brain is lazy, it always read furigana even for kanji I know.

Seems like it’s fixed now.

I would like to be able to make my own “related” links from grammar or vocab items to other grammar or vocab items.
For example, some words (like もし) exist as both a vocabulary word and a grammar point, so it would be useful to be able to make a link from the vocabulary word to the grammar point.

Another example, I often confuse some grammar points with each other and I’m left thinking “So what’s the meaning of what I said?” In that case it would be useful to be able to put a link to my own commonly-confused grammar point.

If possible, I’d like if the ios app review notification (the red number that appears on the app icon) could update automatically. The app I use for Wanikani updates the number on its own, but the bunpro app requires me to open it and refresh to see if there are any reviews.
