When will the developers fix this ### 3/5 — Monthly billing option not showing *2025-02-13, version 1.0.9* I’m trying to get the monthly plan like my mother has however it is not showing up. Only the lifetime and yearly options are showing up and I really want to want use the app but until this is fixed I can’t use the app. ### 2/5 — Horrible tracking *2025-02-10, version 1.0.9* Great library, but does not capture what you are watching or where you are up to. And when you are watching something with 220 episodes it’s a little hard to remember when you were at. Also doesn’t auto play next episode so you have to go all the way back to the main screen, select you want to pick one of the 220 episodes and then scroll to find that next episode. ### 3/5 — Confused *2025-02-08, version 1.0.9* So I got this app from a friends recommendation he said it's free and doesn't need a premium so I got it and tried to watch like 5 different animes and it says I need a premium 🤬 ### 2/5 — Paying *2025-02-07, version 1.0.9* Have to pay to watch anything, maybe have an ad option ? If you want to pay for something go to Crunchyroll. ### 3/5 — The variety is brilliant *2025-02-05, version 1.0.9* There is no adds but premium is to expensive ### 3/5 — Could do better I hope they think about what I said in this *2025-02-05, version 1.0.9* I’m happy it has my anime preferences but I would like it if they make it so you can actually watch the anime without paying and only charge to remove ads and I do believe that this would get way more people on to there app and the could make even more money off it but since they charge for us to even do anything it feels more like they only want the money and don’t care about our wants and preferences. ### 3/5 — need to purchase premium to watch? *2025-02-04* need to purchase premium to watch? ### 2/5 — Waste of money *2025-02-02, version 1.0.9* I regret wasting my money on this app after watching 1 episode first off the quality and terrible and second the whole slider to skip to a scene you like in the anime is way too small the only reason why this gets 2 stars is because its still useable. ### 2/5 — STOP THE FORCED PAY 2 *2025-02-01, version 1.0.9* The price is still the same, again no reason I should have to pay to watch pirated anime AND it costs more than Crunchyroll ### 2/5 — Miss the old versions *2025-02-01, version 1.0.9* I really miss the older versions cause you didn’t have to pay for anything but now I have to pay money… ### 2/5 — Needs lots of work *2025-01-26, version 1.0.9* The ui is clunky and unusable in places, the icon in the bottom right corner is always there and covers the screen size button. Overall the website is better but can’t connect to the apps subscription wich there’s less hassle in the advertising on the website than there is in the app. PLEASE IMPROVE IVE SPENT MONEY ON THIS!!! ### 2/5 — To much money! *2025-01-23, version 1.0.9* I’m sorry but I’m not spending $50 for some anime. ### 3/5 — Houidefhdfvzh *2025-01-20, version 1.0.9* Uilhaddvuhiildafvh ### 4/5 — Good so far *2025-01-20, version 1.0.9* Hard to navigate other than that it was good! ### 1/5 — Do I need to pay? *2025-01-19, version 1.0.9* I have to pay but if I didn’t then this would be good ### 1/5 — No me gustó *2025-01-19, version 1.0.9* No ay casi nada ### 2/5 — SCAM!!!! *2025-01-19, version 1.0.9* I’m not a big fan of this app at all you have to pay for some animes and you also have to pay for the episodes. The quality of the pictures are not that good and you have to pay at least three things to be able to watch the episode episodes and it does not give all of the episode episodes. It only gave 12 episodes on one of the animes that had way more than 12 episodes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2025-02-08, version 1.0.9* Screen keep going white cannot watch any anime ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2025-02-03, version 1.0.9* It sucked because I could watch what was on their for less money on crunchy roll and it is not helpful ### 1/5 — scam *2025-02-03, version 1.0.9* i can just use hianime.to instead and it is free ### 1/5 — Help *2025-02-01, version 1.0.9* It’s trying to make me pay for premuim when i don’t want i just wanna watch blue lock for god sake ### 1/5 — App won’t load the latest episode *2025-02-01, version 1.0.9* Trying to watch the latest episode of ‘I may be a guild receptionist, but I’ll solo any boss to clock out on time’, all the 3 older episodes work but the newer one just shows a blank screen? My app is up to date and I have an active subscription. I tried looking through the app for a ‘report’ or a ‘help’ option however it doesn’t seem to have one? I’ve restarted my phone ect and redownloaded the app but still this episode won’t work. I think I’ll be heading back to my other anime site and won’t renew. For future customers and loyal ones that stay, please make your app more accessible and able to report errors. ### 1/5 — SCAM! *2025-01-31, version 1.0.9* I’m not paying for no low quality episodes! SCAM do not download this app ### 1/5 — Disgusting… *2025-01-25, version 1.0.9* It takes yiu to a p0rn hub.. ### 1/5 — Why isn’t it free. *2025-01-25, version 1.0.9* It was free what happened. ### 1/5 — White screen opon launch. *2025-01-21, version 1.0.9* Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — VIRUS *2025-01-20, version 1.0.9* THIS APP GAVE ME A VIRUS OR SMTH IT WAS FLASHING BLACK BUT FIXED WHEN I DELETED THE APP. I’m so lucky I had avg antivirus GO INSTALL IT BRO DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NO RECENTLY WATCHED *2025-02-06, version 1.0.9* This app isn’t horrible, but in the future I want to see a recently watched section ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-01-18, version 1.0.9* Sorry for getting involved but can you make an update to save the account and the anime we are watching please it will be a great help for your app ### 5/5 — @Hi Anime *2025-01-12, version 1.0.9* airing times for watch anime ### 5/5 — 👅👅👅 *2025-01-03, version 1.0.9* Very sigma ### 5/5 — Best platform *2025-01-02, version 1.0.9* This app is really cool ✨ ### 5/5 — Bc d d *2024-12-20, version 1.0.9* The crctc ### 5/5 — Hi anime *2024-12-16, version 1.0.9* I love this app! ### 5/5 — This is a scam *2024-12-16, version 1.0.9* I put it on 5 stars because I wanted to tell everybody it wants you to pay money to Wach anime that ant English I paid the lifetime and it says if you get it you won’t Wach adds two seconds later I had Wach a add so this is a scam ### 5/5 — Latest review *2024-12-12* This app is SO GOOD but if I’m going to be honest, the website could be better than the app. But If they let you download movies and shows FOR FREE (have to watch a five to ten second advertisement for profit) this could be THE Anime app. Also LINKING ACCOUNTS from the website to the app would be nice just so I don’t have to get pop up ads every time I click on the web but that’s my opinion but until then I’ll stick with the website. ### 5/5 — HiAnime *2024-12-11* I love the app.. it is definitely better than having to use the app. I only thing I don’t like is that there is no continue watching or a watchlist. I really want those can I hate having to look up the same anime to keep watching it.. also i don’t know what’s up with the Japanese dud version of the anime’s but it doesn’t work when I turn my phone sideways please fix that --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
