The extension shows lessons/reviews available before they are ready, in my case it is always ahead a few hours of the review forecast. The only useful feature I have found in it is the "auto expand item info" when using WaniKani.

Doesn't work anymore, and support has been dropped. Not worth installing.

It does work now, it would be nice if it'd update the review count right after I've finished my reviews. I.e.: I had 4 reviews, I finished them all but I still see badge saying "4" until the next update cycle

Unfortunately it's not connecting to the website, I wish I could use it to review as an extension it would be awesome if it could be fixed

Nice extension! Would be useful to be able to disable notifications for lessons. For example, I do 20 new items per day in the morning and don't need information about how many lessons are available through out the day.

As others have said, the number of lessons/reviews don't update automatically. This isn't a big deal, but it does make the extension slightly less useful.

This extension is great, I really love the option to show notifications when lessons/reviews are available, It's perfect, yes sometimes it doesn't update the number of lessons/reviews and you have to restart the browser, but aside from that is perfect. I just have one suggestion for the developer, maybe add a slider or a way to control the volume of the notifications? Is too loud for my taste.

Looks great, but it doesn't update unless I click on the icon - even with the update interval set to 5 minutes.

For some reason it does not show notifications, nor does it update the number automatically. I even set the data refresh time to 5 minutes. Will probably be 5 stars if this is fixed.

***This comment has been edited after a few days use*** The extension is awesome, easily the most useful extension i have ever seen and is a must for any wanikani user. Get it. Only problem I have come across so far relates to the number not refreshing after putting windows into standby mode, this can be fixed by closing and reopening the browser.

I always have Chrome running on my computer, so that's perfect for being reminded of reviews.

Yes thank you very much for making this!! Now I can obsessively check my reviews without keeping the tab open all of the time. I agree with the other review; I wish you could resize the window. It's too small to do reviews in, so I have it open a new tab instead.
