User Reviews

Kakehashi is repeatedly praised as a feature-rich, free WaniKani companion with a sleek, easy-to-use interface.

Users highlight the lack of ads, steady, responsive updates from an active developer, and a streamlined experience that often surpasses the base site—and even older third-party apps.

Cons

Recent reviews

Don't normally leave reviews, but this app impressed me right away. I also wanted to explicitly thank the devs for the inclusion of "voice review answers". (found under review settings -> advanced) I have trouble with my wrists, which sometimes makes Wanikani difficult to keep on top of. I've attempted using stock voice recognition + Tsurukame in the past, however it mostly only works for non-reading prompts. Kakehashi's implementation works extremely well for all review prompts, especially if you turn on "pause on close answer" as well (due to voice tech not always being accurate). Someday, I'd like it if this app's "listening" mode persisted across all reviews instead of needing to turn it on for every single review. That's the only quality that stock voice recognition has over Kakehashi's voice reviews. Beyond that, this app is a conglomeration of probably any Wanikani add-on you want to use, and then some more with the news articles & lyrics tab. It's almost overwhelming, but the UI is easy to navigate so it's no problem. Thanks for your hard work!

I was using wanikani for 2 years before discovering this. My lesson level up time has sped up by 75% and retention gone up as well. So many useful features.
