Gakugame - WaniKani Companion

Bold Flight

About this app

You opened WaniKani. Saw 300+ reviews. Closed WaniKani.
Gakugame is the WaniKani companion for the days you almost give up. Set a daily limit, chip away at your pile, and keep going — slow and steady wins the kanji.
DAILY REVIEW LIMITS
Choose how many reviews you can handle today. 10, 25, 50 — whatever works. No guilt, no overwhelm. Tomorrow, do a few more.
MULTIPLE CHOICE MODE
Blanking on a reading? Switch to multiple choice and keep moving. You're still learning. You're still showing up.
FORGIVING INPUT
Typed "old" instead of "older brother"? Close enough. Fuzzy matching so typos don't break your flow.
FIX MISTAKES
Misstapped? Mark it correct and move on. Be honest — 学亀 is watching.
WORKS OFFLINE
All mnemonics, radicals, kanji, and vocab cached on your device. Review on the subway, in the mountains, wherever.
SEARCH ANYTHING
Full WaniKani database search, instant and offline. That kanji on the tip of your tongue? Found it.
DAILY REMINDERS
One gentle nudge per day, timed to when you last studied. No spam, just consistency.
CHALLENGE FRIENDS
Kanji battles in iMessage. Who's been slacking? Find out.
NATIVE & SYNCED
Built in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android.
WEAR SUPPORT
On Wear OS, study with lessons and reviews on your watch. Add the Gakugame progress tile for a quick view of your study progress, and add watch-face complications for available reviews, lessons, your study streak, and daily goal progress.

Requires a WaniKani account. Free to use with your existing subscription.

Made by a WaniKani user who almost quit three times. The review pile was not a fun time. Now I do a little every day, and I'm still here. That's the goal.

Ratings and reviews

Doesn't Work. . I entered my API key, but it doesn't save it because it thinks I'm offline even though I'm not.

Works great! My only complaint is that you can't view the individual kanji that comprise vocabulary words or their readings during lessons.

SO seamless. One of my biggest struggles with wanikani is not having multiple choice options. while here I try not to look at the answers before using it it does help. I struggle sometimes with remembering and the fact that this sinks up with my actual account and I'm able to go between the two to help me with learning is so amazing!!! it's my first day but 5 stars
