Needs share option

I love using this app and finding the latest anime and game related news quickly on my phone. My main problem is when I see something exciting, I want to post it to facebook. Alas, there isn’t an option to copy the url of the artical or a “share” feature, so I cannot. I need to find the article on their website instead, making me wish I wasn’t using the app and just browsing their web site instead.

Not worth it! Just don’t bother

Tried it for 8 months off & on. It’s basic, boring, & no search option. If you see they haven’t updated this in a year. All you do is scroll down and when you read a article the design is bland. I suggest for news just to there website at least you can do all the stuff there. Search, something other than scroll down, the articles look nicer to read, & leave comments. If I could I give this app -10 stars for being this boring & bland.

Quit working on my phone

Constant problems. Won’t connect to network and update. Every other app works on my phone except this one. Have tried to reinstall multiple times.

Now, if the app would just keep working...

Normally I like this app a lot. But, every few months the app stops being able to find the network or servers or something. I then wait weeks or months until it starts working again. This happens on my old iPad, new iPad and my iPhone, oddly at the exact same time.
Come on folks, make this just a bit more robust, or at least tell the user what is going wrong!

No way to search

Needs a search feature to look up what you want

App sudden crashes

App suddenly crashes and never load maybe need new updates now

Crashes with new IOS update

Refuses to run on new IOS update.

Horrible!

All you can do on this app is scroll up and down. There is not even a search bar to give you the option to see news you really want to see. Please fix this!

Hmmm..

I’m disappointed in the cap on the number of articles you can load on the app at a time, and I really feel like there needs to be a search button so I could see if I missed any news about my favorite anime. Like many, I feel like the news app should have been a part of the main Crunchyroll app :(

It works now

Yay they fixed it

Decent daily news feed

There’s no bells or whistles, but it gives me the latest crunchyroll news in descending order. Would be great if there were indications of what I’ve already read, filters for news vs opinion pieces, targeted alerts or any kind of search feature. Still, the layout beats their mobile site.

Unusable

False network errors or crashes, I cannot use the app. please fix!

Broken

This app appears to no longer work, will not load on devices with updated os.

Should be in Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation....

This app should definitely be in Crunchyroll. I was surprised when I saw it as a separate app and think it’s a bit unusual to have a whole separate thing dedicated to news. You should put this in Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation, etc. it would be a lot more convenient although it does allow me to keep up with the latest anime news from you guys. Please integrate this with your mainstream apps. It would make this easier to find and create more of a “community” feel inside your streaming services.

Cool but not working

This app doesn’t seem to work. Both on my iPad and iPhone the app gets confused asking if I’m connected to the internet despite clearly being connected. Then it just keeps trying to load but never puts something up.

App not working since mid-July?

The app keeps thinking that I am not connected to the internet but both my phone and the app appear to be up to date.

App is broken

It hasn’t worked for a few days now. It keeps asking if I’m connected to a network (which I am), and I’ve tried it in multiple locations with working WiFi so I know it’s the app and not my phone. Please fix this soon!

Feed broken mid-July?

Basically hasn’t worked since July 16, 2018 or so... keeps thinking I’m not connected to Internet. I’ll bet they changed their news feed format slightly and broke this app.

Great news site on Anime and Manga

Only down side is it could use more functionality e.g., search, link for mailing article, and quick scroll to top. Some “bugs” include auto image blow up when highlighting text and no full screen video playback.

These quibbles aside, the news and reviews are good and for non-Japanese audience pretty current and wide ranging.

Really??!!

I can only scroll up and down. Can’t post a story on social media, I can’t find story, can’t do anything but scroll up and down
