But play’s nothing. Nothing is working ### 1/5 — Watching *2024-11-15* I can’t find out how to watch the anime ### 1/5 — Worst app *2024-11-15, version 5.0* I’m getting charged and won’t let me cancel ### 1/5 — Why no sound *2024-10-09* I download the app and whenever I open it up, I can’t hear anything not even the adds. I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s not working. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Was good for a bit *2024-07-02, version 5.0* Was good until it became a notebook- ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-06-17, version 5.0* I can get anime free and legally, and some of my favourites as well! The ads are something I expect to deal with because it’s free, and for so much selection, a couple ads are not much to pay. Thank you for such an amazing anime platform! ### 5/5 — An honest review by an honest person *2024-05-31* Hello to all, I’m so so happy I’ve come to encounter this app. The first anime I watched was A Sign Of Affection, it was a very beautiful show to watch and enjoy 10/10 recommend. Anyways, the app was truthfully amazing, the only any ads popped up were if you tried to exit out of the app, to check the time for example. There was no adds during the show you would choose to watch, which made it more enjoyable to watch the show. I saw that there was many anime’s to choose and watch from so I’m looking forward to that. I hope you enjoy it the same I do!!! ### 4/5 — Confused *2024-12-31* So is this solely for keeping track of anime or can u watch them on this? I can’t find the play button. Is this just me or is it just to keep track? ### 4/5 — Good *2024-10-29* Honestly good app, if only the updated it more frequently so I can actually watch my animes instead of a blank screen that’d be cool ### 4/5 — . *2024-10-12* This the best anime app u can get without paying anything buh just that it’s got a lot of ads ### 4/5 — Good option to watch anime for free *2024-10-09* This app was pretty good, it allowed you to watch anime for free and was light on ads, it doesn’t have all the anime out there but it still has a lot of the good and popular anime out there. I would say this app can sometimes even be better then Crunchyroll since this app only makes you watch an ad instead of the two or three you get with crunchyroll. You also don’t have to buy premium or anything like that. There are some issues here and there such as some minor crashes and other issues that stop this from getting 5 stars but this is still overall a great app ### 4/5 — Anime selections *2024-02-24* This app is really cool I guess my only problem is that y'all don’t have one piece, black clover, or my hero academia. And I’m really looking for an app like this one to watch them on. ### 4/5 — English dub button? *2024-02-17* Hi!! Just wanted to say I love this app so much. When my online watching site crashed I looked all over the App Store for a free anime watch app. I found this and I was saved!! I like how there are only ads when you click on the anime and none when you are watching. The only issue I found is when I would watch an anime, it would play dub at random episodes. I was confused as to why. Don’t get me wrong, I love the dub’s! But, I wish there was a button to choose sun or dub when watching. That’s the only issue I have with this app! Keep this app up for as long as you can! -❤️ ### 3/5 — Needs work *2024-12-22* The app is great but it could be better first of all fix the fact that some anime’s you can’t even watch and there is too many ads when you try and watch a show if you guys fix this I will consider giving a better rating. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
