What do you use for vocabulary in conjunction with Bunpro?

It also has stuff for the difference between voiced and unvoiced consonants as well as pitch accent with limited pairs like 橋 / 箸.

Thanks to everybody for the suggestions. It seems like Kitsun is a popular choice. I have tried it out but not sure how I feel about the price yet. I think I’m gonna stick with Anki for a little while since I already have a couple decks in process. Making the jump from one learning program to the next is definitely harder than I expected, especially after a few years, but at least I have a good reference point. Thanks again.

I’ll PM you when I get back home! The context of this confused me at first, didn’t realize that post was already a year old haha.

Sorry about that, I look forward to it, thank you!

I use Anki because it’s the most flexible and customizable of all the options out there today. Since I know how to code (it’s my day job), I have customized the card types to suit my preferences. I create all of my own cards by hand after studying the entries on at least jisho.org and goo.ne.jp, sometimes supplementing with other sources. It’s an extremely labor-intensive process. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re as particular about your learning experience as I am. But if you are, I believe Anki is the most flexible–though not necessarily the most convenient–option.

I also use Anki since I really like making my vocab cards exactly how I need them to be. Aedict is also the best Japanese dictionary app on Android I’ve ever used. You can export words from it directly into Anki and honestly that feature has saved me a huge amount of time. I generally add words to my deck whenever I encounter them in books or on the internet.

Kanji Study App also supports exporting to Anki cards, and I use that regularly to compile collections of words using kanji that I need to better familiarize myself with.

I hadn’t heard of Aedict before, but since you mentioned it, I’ll have to check it out!

One of my favorite Aedict features is that whenever you look up a word and click on it there’s a tab called buddies. It lists all the similar words or ones that use the same kanji. Then you can select multiple words at once to export to your Anki deck. It helps with learning kanji readings a lot.
