### 1/5 — Waste of your time

*2026-04-28*

I was trying to watch some anime, but nothing showed up so, I tried to search up the anime I wanted to watch and  nothing happened again. So, then I tried making an account to see if that’s the solution. Little did I know I was going sitting on my iPad for 30 minutes trying to make a valid email and not a singular one out of probably the dozens of emails I tried worked at all. So basically never download this app in hops of finally watching your favorite anime (s) unless you want to sit on the same screen for 30 minutes trying to figure out what email is considered a email with “letters and numbers” is.
Also don’t download this app without seeing the reviews first it could save you a bunch of time.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. There seems to have been a misunderstanding about the app’s purpose. This app is an anime tracker, not a streaming or pirated anime app, so episodes are not played directly inside the app.

The account system is also powered by AniList integration rather than our own signup system.

If this clarification helps, we’d really appreciate reconsidering the review.

### 1/5 — Let me see the app before you ask me to pay

*2026-03-02*

Before I have even logged in I have been asked to pay a subscription for an app that I haven’t even seen yet.Seemly most features are pay walled which is fine but can’t seem to go back after clicking on a premium feature to continue looking you have to force close the whole app. Makes it seem very greedy to me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. That’s completely fair.

We’re currently testing our onboarding and paywall flow, and it looks like we made it too aggressive and unintuitive in your case. You should be able to explore the app before deciding to pay, and definitely not get stuck behind a screen.

We’re fixing this in an upcoming update by allowing users to explore key features before showing the paywall and by adding a proper way to dismiss the premium screen.

Appreciate you calling this out. It helps us improve.

### 5/5 — MAL/Anilist Tracker

*2026-08-02*

Love the app for tracking all types of anime and manga. Really clean UI makes things easy, great work

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5-star review. Glad you’re enjoying the app and the UI❤️

### 5/5 — Fast, Responsive Developer

*2025-11-24*

This app is amazing and quic dedicated work that the developer has put in in order to resolve some my feedback and pain points has been tremendous. 10/10

**Developer response:** Thank you, I’ve already submitted a major update which will get approved in a few days. I hope it gives you what you need🙂♥️

Edit: Major Update is now live, Update it now!

### 5/5 — Early Days but promising

*2025-11-19*

This app is missing some polish but has a very solid groundwork and dedicated developer. I’m positive with time this will surpass other competing apps like MyAniList.

**Developer response:** Thank you, I’ve already submitted a major update which will get approved in a few days. I hope it gives you what you need🙂♥️
