For kanji I use an app called Kakugo for Android, which is free and open source. It's not an SRS like WaniKani, though. WaniKani is great if you are starting, but if you are intermediate it may be too slow at the start (the reason I dropped it). The good things about WaniKani are that it requires constancy, that it's divided in levels, that it includes radicals and vocabulary to help memorization and that the sets of meanings (or core ideas) are usually short (sometimes Kakugo has about ten meanings for a kanji, which is overwhelming and difficults memorization). But I think it relies too much on jokes for mnemonics instead of relying on etymology, especially with the radicals. The app Obenkyo is also good.
