I’ve been having a problem recently not letting me go full screen and press the skip intro button or change the subtitles because i can’t go into full screen please fix this! ### 3/5 — The ad problem *2026-07-27, version 1.9* I like this app, but I has all anime but the bad part is every time after three or two episodes I have to watch an ad to continue but every time when I press the ad button, it doesn’t work and I’ve been stuck with that for a while now. ### 3/5 — Unlimited episodes *2026-07-20, version 1.9* I love the app but the fact that we can’t watch more than 3 episodes is annoying me, If you could watch unlimited episodes It would be so much better. And for the ads maybe you could lessen it cause there is too much ads and it’s bothering me. ### 3/5 — My honest review *2026-07-16, version 1.9* Free anime so that’s +1 star, not that much ads, +1 star, daily limit, -1 star, a lot of anime, +1 star. Overall 3 stars, would improve massively if this didn’t have the daily limit thing. ### 3/5 — you can watch anime but it depends on ur patience *2026-07-09, version 1.9* recently i’ve been looking for an anime app to watch anime on that I couldn’t find on netflix or that wasn’t free on prime video. I found this app and so far it is good but omg it has a cost, most other free anime apps don’t let you watch anime at all and will lag crazily so the bar is very low. This one lets you add anime’s to your watching, watched and more categories which i think is very useful, the animes have a high variety and (so far from what i’ve seen) have all the episodes available. While all these things are great if you can’t tolerate getting an add whenever you do a tiny, minuscule movement like changing the volume or pausing then you will hate this app. The home screen lags when you look past animes as well but for all the negatives i think in summary if you are looking for a normal rate of ads and no lags then this app probably isn’t for you but if you don’t care and just want an anime app that does the job then it will be ok for you. ### 3/5 — Please add Arabic subtitles. *2026-06-29, version 1.9* I really liked the app, but I was wondering if you could also add Arabic subtitles. This would make the app more popular and profitable, since there is a large Arabic audience for anime. ### 4/5 — Adds *2026-06-27, version 1.9* Too many adds ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-06-23, version 1.9* The app is good. The only problem is the constant ads. There’s ads every click and it’s annoying, then it says something about I can only watch 3 episodes per day but when I finish one episode then it makes me watch 2 ads to be able to continue watching. ### 2/5 — It’s alright *2026-06-19, version 1.9* It has way to many adds and I was trying to watch on ep and I said I hit the limit ### 2/5 — It has gotten worse *2026-06-10, version 1.8* The old Anilyme used to give me a lot of ads but not as many as this. I get an ad for doing anything?! I click the back button? Ad. I search for and anime? I get an ad! I’m not even joking and it says I can only watch 3 episodes a day but I can’t even watch one without it asking me to watch an add to continue to watch more than one PLEASE BRING THE OLD ONE BACK AND LET ME WATCH HOWEVER MANY EPISODES I WANT ### 4/5 — Love but *2026-05-27, version 1.8* I seriously love this, ANY one i want nd its overall just really helpful showing the reviews, trending ones now, whatever else. Problem is, the daily limit thing. I’ll go to watch an anime and it’ll put me on episode one and then that takes up one episode watch apparently—the daily limit thing is so annoying, bc it’s not even correct! Also sometimes the episodes just will NEVER load. Black screen. Won’t start. Pls fix this ### 2/5 — Me *2026-05-22, version 1.8* There is a way too much ad ### 1/5 — ? *2026-03-11, version 1.3* I couldn’t even open the app. Just gets black screen when I do. I have no clue. ### 1/5 — Nah *2026-02-25, version 1.3* Ts does not work just constantly gives me ads ### 1/5 — Not the best *2025-09-23, version 1.3* Hello, When I first downloaded this app it would not load anything for search or anything it just kept loading and wouldn’t show anything at all, I tried searching up my hero academia and nothing came up. I’m pretty sure there was a bug, Could you please fix it thank you and sorry for complaining. ### 1/5 — :/ *2025-09-20, version 1.3* This app is broken ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-08-05, version 1.9* Fix app has problems every week ### 1/5 — ads *2026-07-27, version 1.9* there is an advertisement in every second of when you use the app you can’t even look at anything without paying and the fact that when you open the app you have to watch and advertisement and when you click on the watch icon to watch the anime is just absurd on the amount of advertisements in the span of 1 min ### 1/5 — Anime *2026-07-07, version 1.9* This app literally doesn’t even work it just throws adds at you and doesn’t let you watch anything ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-06-27, version 1.9* It’s not worth the download. A lot of options aren’t even available and it says it has a manga reader but it doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Bru *2026-06-25, version 1.9* I see a black screen… ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-06-15, version 1.8* External links to watch video so stupid this app sucks good thing i didnt buy yearly plan it was better than chrunchyroll but now u cant even read manga either 🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — 2 ads to watch one episode. *2026-05-16, version 1.8* It says watch 2 ads to continue watching but once I do watch those two videos it makes me do it again. That’s why I sent this app to mappa so they can sue this ### 1/5 — Manga *2026-05-13, version 1.8* Can’t read the mangas on the app ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-06, version 1.8* Keep giving ads half of the anime doesn’t even work give us back the old version ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-05-05, version 1.8* Bro lock in this app used to be nice but now its just ads every second and you only get to watch 3 episodes per day? wth! basically forcing you to buy premium and im not sure premium even gives you unlimited episodes and no ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best free anime app! *2026-07-12, version 1.9* The ads are not showing every now and then unlike other ads! Which is a green flag, and another thing is that it has every anime you can think of! 10/10. ### 5/5 — 3 ep *2026-06-17, version 1.9* Three episodes limit and then you have to watch two as after which give you two ads in one ad so it makes you watch four ads in total is so stupid. I hate it. I’m giving this a five so people can see my rating. Don’t get this app I missed the old one. This is so horrible. ### 5/5 — Radom buffering *2026-05-19, version 1.8* The app just can’t seem to load the sub version of anime, anytime I try to watch sub, it just won’t stop buffering. When I switch to dub it’s smooth sailing. Why? Can we fix this? ### 5/5 — Watch anime app *2026-04-23, version 1.6* Works perfectly to watch anime ### 5/5 — Really great *2025-05-11, version 1.3* For me, this app is the best. It helped me create my own villains and side characters it is so cool!!(I know it used to be for watching anime but if they wanted to do this, they could’ve’ just made a new app) ### 5/5 — Welp *2025-04-18, version 1.3* The old version of this app was actually fuctional, could search up to any anime and would come up, but this new version can’t load before a new ad playing every 30 secs ### 5/5 — Anime picture and play button not loading *2025-02-18* I love this app and I love how the anime is free but Today I try watching anime it shows a black screen for the picture of the anime and when I click it there’s no play button. ### 5/5 — Why new app anilyme :( *2025-02-18* I loved ur other app, but u got rid of my premium and your new app is much more confusing to navigate. I think going back to the old app would be a better change. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-17, version 1.3* Very very good shows I recommend for phone watching ### 5/5 — Idk I just like it *2025-02-14, version 1.3* It’s good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
