User Reviews

Users praise Tsurukame for its fast, mobile-friendly experience and useful Anki mode, plus strong offline/notification support. However, multiple reviews mention bugs (UI flicker, token errors, progress loss) and audio issues, along with several desired features (undo, interleaving, widgets, fonts). Overall, a powerful WK companion on iOS hampered by stability and feature-gap concerns.

Pros

Fast, responsive mobile experience that feels polished and efficient.
Anki mode enables quick, time-saving review sessions.
Mobile access with notifications and offline capabilities improves WK usability away from a desktop.
Native iPhone app with a clean, user-friendly design and layout.
Offers more features and scripts than the web WK site, reducing the need for browser workarounds.

Cons

UI glitches, notably purple background flickering during vocab reviews in dark mode.
API token errors can render the app unusable for some users.
Occasional data/progress loss bugs (progress disappearing).
Pronunciation/audio mismatches for certain items (e.g., wrong sound playback).
Notable feature gaps (undo button, interleaving/lesson ordering, widgets, and font options) that users frequently request.

This app has been an absolute lifesaver. Super easy to just review a few kanji in passing and has nearly every functionality WaniKani has. Wish there was the ability to unburn Kanji like on the site but this app is absolutely more than I could ask for.
