    Custom Review button is behind home bar on iPhone

    Kevin Mitchell · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    The Custom Review button is behind the home bar on iPhone. It needs that bit of extra margin that keeps the app from going to the bottom of the screen. (The name of it escapes me...I develop for iPhone sometimes but my brain is in Japanese mode.)

    It's not that bad, because I just figured out that the whole bottom of the app is the Start Review button, but it can be a little confusing.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17.2.1.

    Thanks for Ringotan!

    Lesson shows 0 review (of 4 total)

    Kevin Mitchell · 2 · Last reply by Kevin Mitchell

    Hi! Thanks for Ringotan and for the recent update! I love it, and I recommend it a lot to fellow learners.

    Somehow I got my Ringotan to not ever let me do reviews. It's showing "0 review (of 4 total)". But I don't get reviews, nor can I do reviews only.

    I tried completing a lesson, and that didn't help either.

    I can go to Custom Review and sort by Time to Next Review, and I do get things that are due Now. I can select them and review them, and the number of reviews goes down.

    Any suggestions?

    WaniKani integration status reads "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"

    willcs · 6 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Thanks for all your hard work on Ringotan. I appreciate the ongoing updates and support, and am really pleased with the WaniKani integration. I am running into an issue where the WaniKani integration status on the home screen and reviews screen displays this "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime" error string, and has done since the first time I hit the little refresh button there.

    I haven't been able to get it to go away to try and replicate it, so I'm not entirely sure how to reproduce it, but it doesn't appear to impact the functioning of

    Increasing Review Frequency Shadow-increased Kanji Per Lesson

    Thicc Boi · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Today I increased review frequency from "normal" to "frequent." My kanji per lesson went from 18-22 max to 27.

    I haven't touched the setting for "kanji per lesson."

    Try out Voicevox

    Apparently software that does a better job than Google TTS for pronouncing kanji. I should try it and see if it's a good replacement.

    Nothing to do if user can write all Wanikani kanji

    BlueRaja · 0 · Posted

    1. Start the app fresh for the first time 2. Connect to Wanikani API 3. Claim you can write all kanji that you have caught up in Wanikani. Expected outcome: Able to do something on study screen Actual outcome: Can't do anything, says "come back when there are more reviews".  Not a good first experience.

    We should allow them to "review ahead" or something

    Is it or will it be possible to reduce or cap the number of reviews per day?

    Mike · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Thank you for this app, I find it a really nice complement to my Kanji learning routine :) Anki allows to cap daily reviews, are there any plans to allow ringotan to do the same?

    When system font is "OnePlus Sans", Chinese encoding is used

    BlueRaja · 0 · Posted

    Is there a way to detect this?  If so, can it be fixed in-app, or do I need to display a warning (and ask them to fix it themselves)?  Are there other default system fonts this applies to?

    Text font is defaulting to Chinese fonts for certain characters

    Hayden Bye · 5 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    Characters like 直 and 写  get rendered using Chinese font on Android. I have Japanese set as a system language and a japanese key board installed. To resolve all text in app should be explicitly tagged as japanese to prevent defaulting to Chinese encoding.

    Indicate desired kanji via audio

    Gediko · 0 · Posted

    I think altering the initial auto-pronunciation to {word} の {kanji}    e.g.  「べんり」の「り」   would be much more helpful than just sounding the word itself.

    Reason being:

    When words with multiple kanji come up, you can't tell from the initial audio which part is being taught / asked for.

    I think this is helping to cause false associations - e.g. having to write 便 or 利 after hearing べんり makes the two kanjis' readings more difficult to keep separate and therefore easier to confuse.It also negates many of the advantages of the audio when you always need to look at the

    When IPhone is in dark mode, text turns white on a white background (-> becomes unreadable)

    Rosesadokatheauthor · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    I just picked up this app due to finding a post about it on reddit, looking for something to help me learn the stroke order of kana because I learn best by writing them. Immediately upon starting my first lesson, I got a pop up saying "Tutorial: Hiragana." However, the text was nearly unreadable. It was white on a white background. I thought it might be an issue with my brightness settings etc. and discovered that after turning off dark mode, the text became black and I could read it. This is a temporary fix but I'd like to not
