Hello, I guess the topic name explains my question well. I do the daily reviews, of course. I just started doing 3rd part: Elements (on frame 576 currently) and I feel I'd like to do more reviewing to test if my stories seeped into my brain. Is it possible to review right now, if I wanted, or am I bound to use custom SRS software?

Thanks for replies. I did the "delete all cards" trick and had a very lengthy review, but in the end, I didn't notice any difference, I had all the cards memorized very thoroughly.
So, let me abuse this topic of mine and ask out-of-the-way question. I hear a lot and read a lot that people have an SRS deck for RtK as well. Do you recommend using koohii along with SRS or should I just stick with koohii only and then use SRS for later study? (vocab and sentences, I assume?)

When I first started RTK 1, I used surusu (AJATT's SRS platform). It's not exactly bad, but it's extremely bare-bones (at least, it was when I used it). There were a couple of features in Anki that really impressed me (automatic yomi generation, public decks), so I decided to start using Anki instead of surusu. When I made the transition I had to migrate ~1800 kanji + stories manually into an anki deck. And that was a bitch.
The moral of the story is: Try to find the SRS platform you're likely to be most comfortable using, as early as possible in your Japanese quest.
I've never used the RTK review function myself (I've only used this site for the forums and to see other people's kanji stories), but from what I understand it doesn't support adding your own kanji. If that really is the case, I'd recommend migrating since you're bound to come across a kanji not included in RTK 1+3 sooner or later.
