Good shows, bad app
The user experience is terrible. If I download episodes, I can’t see the names of the shows. It is a bunch of random episodes from different titles. This should be very easy to develop. If you play one offline, it will randomly play another show in the order it was downloaded. History doesn’t show the name of the anime’s either, just the episode title. At this point, I don’t even know what shows I am watching and I will cancel the subscription all together. Too bad because there are some good anime’s in it.

Titles are doing the lifting
This app is garbage. All the available engineers and AI coding tools out there and it’s still buggy as hell. I close the app, it keeps playing somehow. The moment a show itself throws a stat screen or some other “window message” the subtitles no longer work. From a UX perspective, they still don’t have the good sense to have plain text titles under the show thumbnails. It’s for sure amateur hour. If it weren’t for a couple titles in their library I’d ditch it, and that’s only gonna be the case for so long, given today’s climate and a certain resurgence.

Bad on selection of titles and technical performance
The app consistently logged me out and forces me through a website only login process. The selection of anime is shallow at best. And even though I am currently subscribing to the service (according to Apple), the app itself keeps telling me that I’m not. There are some titles that I can’t find anywhere else which is the only reason I keep coming back to this app. Please fix it or sell it to somebody who will.

Doesn’t work
Just want to watch one show and doesn’t let me put my card in saying unknown error meanwhile my subscriptions saying I signed up/already put my card on but it doesn’t work? At least I got the free trial and didn’t get charged but it’s a shame.
App needs a lot of work
The dubbing sucks. It will randomly cut out when a large amount of information is brought up in the anime, it then doesn’t automatically restart. You can sometimes rewind and the dubbing will start again, but then the app will almost always crash. I’ve used the app for a couple of years now and it’s something that’s never been fixed despite how often the issue is brought up. Id it wasn’t for the fact that some anime are HiDive exclusive I wouldn’t even bother with it.
