    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."

    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

    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?

    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!

    Wrong writing for kanji + missing kanji unit 25 MNN

    Lotte Weber · 2 · Last reply by Lotte Weber

    Hello,

    I showed my kanji professor this app recently and we have discovered two issues:

    1. There is a missing kanji in unit 25 between 特 and 低, which is 県.

    2. The way of writing 冷 is outdated, it should be written like the way the kanji is typed, but just to be sure, I will add an image. Could this be changed?

    Thank you very much for your hard work!

    Figure out what happens when kanji are removed from Ringotan

    BlueRaja · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    After updating all my databases to the latest versions, some kanji were REMOVED from the JLPT lesson.  I need to figure out:

    * What kanji specifically were removed? * Why were they removed? * If a user learned that kanji previously, does this cause any problems?

    Trouble with a particular stroke

    Sinie · 2 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    hey :) i really like this app so far. my ability to write and recall kanji has increased a lot and it's given me a boost in motivation to keep learning japanese again

    however there is one slight frustration i've been having with a particular kind of stroke ^^' the ム stroke in the following images appears to be strangely unforgiving, and i feel like it might be a bug, especially since for one of them i was completely in the line

    Stroke Detection is too strict for middle vertical stroke of 木

    Hayden Bye · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    In the base kanji 木 the middle vertical stroke is quite strict. This also occurs when it is a component. If the stroke is done fast it sometimes registers it as not crossing into the second quadrant and marks it wrong.

    Error for hirigana in kanji 否

    Hayden Bye · 1 · Last reply by BlueRaja

    For 否 in the example for no it shows the hirigana ひ instead of いいえ. However it is still pronounced in the audio as  いいえ.

    鹿 graphical bug

    The third stroke of 鹿 seems to self-intersect or something. Doesn't have any effect on the ability to draw the Kanji though.
