### 4/5 — Offline viewing

*2026-08-18*

As someone who spends a lot of time out of range of mobile reception and that being the main opportunity I get to watch anime at times I find it quite frustrating how quickly downloaded shows “expire” even when I’ve connected to the app online like why do I have to renew permission.. the app should be able to see that my subscription is still current. I pay the annual subscription id understand the timer going off at the end of my subscription if I hadn’t had my device online but they expire after like 10 days or something like that. Not sure but either way it’s frustrating when I can have most of my phones storage occupied my shows that the app won’t allow me to watch.
There could at least be a refresh/renew all button on each series in the downloads/ offline viewing section 
I have a more thoughts on this if admin are interested (not 
Also I’ve noticed google occasionally says Crunchyroll has titles available like parasite specifically the other day when they’re not which is annoying as I was hoping to watch it but can’t find it anywhere

### 4/5 — It’s excellent, but - Not all the Shows and Playback Speed limit

*2026-08-18*

The library is pretty big. It’s like a dream come true for the anime fans!! However, I hope you take this as a constructive feedback.
1. I am not getting the playback speed option from the app over 1x, this is basic guys, even free apps provide this.
2. Secondly, when we buy something like this we expect atleast the top popular anime shows to be there. Attack on Titan is nowhere to be found on the app.

**Developer response:** Hi there! 😊 It's wonderful to hear that you love our extensive anime library! We totally understand your concerns about the playback speed options and the absence of popular shows like "Attack on Titan." Your feedback is super important to us, and we are checking into these issues to improve your experience. If you have more details to share, please reach out to our support team at https://got.cr/help-cr. We’d appreciate it if you could consider updating your rating. Thank you for being a part of our anime community! The Crunchyroll Team 🧡

### 4/5 — Subtitles need work

*2026-08-14, version 4.115.0*

They have a pretty good array of old and new anime's which I love but the subtitles sometimes do not line up with what is being said and sometimes they aren't even available

### 4/5 — finally got ittt!!!

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

i lurv this apppp!!! can finally watch full animes, and for a fair price! (would be 5 stars, only reason i gave 4 is because it crashes occasionally, but everything else is great!)

### 2/5 — Türkçe alt yazı desteği

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

Nasıl Türkçe alt yazı olmaz hemen getirin lütfen🙏🙏

### 2/5 — angry

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

it lags way too damn much and the subtitles are so wrong. the subtitles for dub is so delayed and it’s just so wrong. fix this please. i only got premium just for it to friggin lag and the subtitles be wrong.

### 2/5 — IOS 17.0 REQUIRED

*2026-08-13, version 4.106.1*

I can no longer watch on my IPhone 8 Plus since this app requires an update to IOS 17.0 😖 Very unfortunate, it should at least allow basic functionality.

### 4/5 — Please add a “show less” button

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

In the past we used to be able to tell if a show was something we wouldn’t like my reading the reviews and comments.

Now we have to watch some episodes to realize that the hard way. After that, these shows get stuck in our Continue Watching list and keep being an eye soar every time we open the app.

Please add two features that at standard on other big-name streaming platforms:

1. A “Show less” / Hide button for shows we don’t like and don’t want to be constantly seeing in the Recommended List

2. Add a clear and easy to use “Remove for Continue Watching” button. (Currently you have to go and manually delete all the episodes from you watch history to remove it from the list; which is mad inconvenient it you already watched the first x-number of seasons but want to stop watching the show now.)

### 1/5 — VPN

*2026-08-14, version 4.115.0*

Ur app needs to get with the times and stop not working with my vpn.

### 1/5 — Subscription is horrible

*2026-08-14, version 4.115.0*

Constant issues with the subscription- can’t stand it at all.

### 1/5 — Worst streaming app ever

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

Dubs are always weeks late and causing spoilers to leak before those who can enjoy it is spoiled. Playback always skips forward after rewinding. Content never available where it’s available on other platforms. Pure gatekeeping for greed

### 1/5 — Crunchyroll app

*2026-08-13, version 4.43.1*

I give it 1 star because you can no longer use Crunchyroll website on iOS and now you have use the app. On top of that if your using and older apple device your force to update but if the app doesn’t update it can’t be used. Unlike other apps that just have use an older version that work Crunchyroll doesn’t do that.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

Ok Crunchyroll is great and all but one problem it doesn’t allow me to log in easily and whenever I do it tells me oh u don’t have a subscription WHERE IS MY SUBSCRIPTION IT CANT GROW WINGS AND FLY OFF and I’m trying to claim the Genshin code it is NOT allowing me to access it whatever I do it genuinely pmo but other than that yes u can watch anime freely on it if u have a subscription.

### 1/5 — 5 star to 1 star

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

Slow cancellation process. Don’t waste my time

### 1/5 — Slower than the pirate apps

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

Iv seen roadkill move faster than this app.

### 1/5 — Screw them

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

THIS COMPANY SUCKS WITH DUB RELEASES IF YOU DON’T DROP DUB DAY 1 AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING BEFORE HAND. WAITING SINCE JUNE FOR SECOND HALF OF REZERO JUST FOR NO DUB WHEN IT DROPS

### 1/5 — One piece audio and video are off!

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

It’s been a while now that I haven’t been able to enjoy watching One Piece because of the major lag in audio and video. The audio is like 5-15 seconds behind the actual video! Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — Very heavy and slow

*2026-08-12, version 4.115.0*

Subtitles need improvement

### 5/5 — :D

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

I am obsessed with crunchyroll because of all the different genres 😮‍💨 I used to watch all my anime’s on Hulu, until I got crunchyroll and it’s on a whole different level of amazing!! I love how they always catch up on new anime episodes/movies and they never slack off! I absolutely love crunchyroll and I personally think it’s worth getting premium!! It gave me a whole new perspective on anime and made me love it even more! I have no complaints what so ever, and actually am very happy with my experience! Crunchyroll has helped me through a tuff time, and I can never go back to Hulu or Netflix again for anime. The fact that crunchyroll is capable of having almost every anime is amazing to me! As I have said, I have no complaints and only good reviews! I recommend crunchyroll for those who use Netflix or other platforms for anime unless it’s an exclusive only on that platform. I usually listen to dub, yes, but even so I feel as if crunchyroll makes me wanna watch it in Sub! I am so glad to say I’m a proud crunchyroll user! Please, keep Crunchyroll in mind of use!! Bai now! Katthebat out! Good bai ml’s~! <33

### 5/5 — 🙏

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

I have not used this app and I cannot use this app only because my ma won't pay for the subscription. I understand that there's a 7 day trial but my ma won't let me use that either so here's me begging for you to somewhat give Netflix permission to add Season 2 and the next upcoming Season of The Apothecary Diaries. Please, I'm absolutely dying to watch Season 2 and the new upcoming season. I don't see the point of adding Season 1 to Netflix and then just not allowing them to add Season 2 & 3. I need to finish this series, please respond to this review even though It's not much of a review maybe more of me just begging. Thanks, hope to see a response soon.

### 5/5 — 🖤🖤🖤

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

### 5/5 — Devon

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

### 5/5 — Fan for life

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*

Had the best lineups and usually is first to air full seasons.

### 5/5 — just tuff

*2026-08-13, version 4.115.0*
