[Feature request] Display both kun'yomi and on'yomi mnemonics #87

I feel that the entire vocab part is a waste of time designed to keep the subscriptions running longer. Would it be possible to display both the kun'yomi and on'yomi mnemonics? Then people wouldn't need to manually look it up among the vocab items.

Related to this, a lot of Kanjis (and sometimes radicals) have the "you already learned this reading, it is the same as radical/kanji) sentence, instead of actually showing the mnemonic. It is again a bad design on WK part and they have been asked to address this for years with no avail. I wonder whether the app could fix this issue?

I don't want to speak for the author (so please correct me if I'm wrong) but this app doesn't try to right WK's wrongs; it wants to have similar behavior to the website so there isn't a huge divergence between devices. I think the first suggestion would work very well though.
