I need to pay in order to watch
It will be worth it but you need to have a subscription first in order to watch something I don’t mind watching ads
Player Issue
This app is just garbage. It’s always always just issue after issue after issue. It’s just so terrible subtitles just randomly stopped working for some reason. It switches to English all the time when I have it set to Japanese all the time. Videos keep playing even after I close the app for about 30 seconds. I cannot recommend using the service in the state.

In app issues with subscription
App keeps saying I’m already subscribed to monthly but I can’t watch any shows. Have tried cancelling then renew again and same problem. Even uninstalling app still same thing. Has this happened to anyone else?
The App sucks but got some bangers!
I hate I do mean HEAT I can’t browse or search by Dubbed in the app, but the app got some good shows! The only problem is some shows on there are old! I would say it’s worth having for a month or two then unsubscribe and wait to see if they have new stuff on the website to see if I will resubscribe.

Don’t download!
Absolutely trash I was subscribed with the free trial then got kicked midway watching a series than told me to subscribe while I was already subscribed with the 7 day subscription and still doesn’t work. This app is trash.
Trash
It doesn’t even have the basics (JJK, Demon Slayer, HxH, etc). And to top it all off, it’s straight romance
Not worth price
Very few selections not worth price, noticed some of their titles are redone shows already out there from anime in Japanese, Basically a scam.
My review on this app
This app is pretty good :) it has a lot of anime’s dubbed that are not on Crunchyroll and lots of anime’s that aren’t on Crunchyroll at all the app and the tv app are both great and they work fine
The only problem I had is that the some of the anime’s that say they don’t have English dub when they do which is not a bad thing since it’s more dub to watch just makes categorizing things a little bit harder but definitely enjoying it so far and definitely keeping my subscription for sure :)

Needs fix for subtitles
Randomly breaks with subtitles that either disappear or freeze. Stopping, rewind, fast forward doesn’t fix. If you close app when this happens the audio will keep playing.
Not enough
I’ve seen most of what they have already. Not enough variety.
Somewhat more importantly, they have an option to download shows, that seems great at first, but they never realized that the main reason to download shows is because the person doesn’t have data. Most times I need data just to use the app, and can’t see the downloaded shows without it. That Totally, completely defeats the concept of downloading the shows to begin with! Make it make sense, please! Allow the shows to be played when no data is available!

You charged me for your website while I had no idea why I had 8 dollars gone
You shouldn’t be able to charge a person who just has an app and not an actual account and without their knowledge as well give me my 8 dollars back
This app is very good
Now I can see why people don’t like this app but I’ve gotten Crunchyroll for months now and Funimation but I think this app is really good if you wanna spend $10 and watch like five really long seasons of like is it trying to pick up girls in dungeon or eminence in shadow and there’s a bunch of Isa guys too. The downloading is actually really good. It doesn’t keep track or anything, but if you download one by one episode episodes. Track by yourself very good. I give this app. Four out of five stars, but I’ll round up to five because I think this app is very good if you just wanna spend 10 bucks.

Good anime, bad QOL
TLDR I like the options but wish it had a bit more current anime. App needs work. Works differently miles apart on different devices but somehow sub style can’t ever be customized. Phone is best version so get ready for tiny-viewing.
I gave in and finally got the app and subscription. The selection is good. I do wish they had more modern selections. By that I mean 00’s onwards. I don’t want the old stuff to disappear either. I just have a lot of other options to pick from also from the simulcast. Can’t spread my time that much.
Now for the QOL. Subtitles can’t be customized. Makes reading illegible on 90% of what I watch. Sitting closer doesn’t much since the timing is also off. I miss entire lines all the time and rewinding doesn’t work properly. I watch primarily on TV now and my hand is on the remote constantly because the subs are awful. Some bad grammar but I can look past that since I can’t see it all the time anyway due to the default sub style. Not all devices have system-ready custom user options that work with app so I can’t depend on that either. Most legible subs are on phones and the screen is small. TV app is basically awful so watching is best done on a tiny screen instead of on TV.

App is terrible
The UI is so lacking. Nothing is fluid. Just vibe code the app and it will improve instantly
Just delete the app
I think the app should just be terminated its slow asf and doesn’t really save your continue watching, and all the anime it gets is the close to hentai ones and it could at least get all of the animes that arent on crunchyroll
HIDIVE reasons for low stars
This service shines when using your phone as a control for your tv, using this app on older TV’s leaves people with a bad taste in their mouth, however using your phone to connect to your tv solves this problem to the 10th degree, please, if you find your tv is having issues, change to just streaming from your phone as the app on the phones is very very good.

Needs improvement
English caption disappears for extend period of time. Subtitles freeze for minutes at time. Translation of any text for English do not show up, if they do it’s scrambled. Nothing fixes the tissue. Tried restarting my iPad, deleting the app then redownloading, restarting internet, checking internet speeds. I do not have this issue on any other site. I’m watching Japanese Anime but do not speak or understand Japanese I must have consistent and accurate caption to enjoy the product I am paying to consume. I will once again end my subscription for the same reason I did last time, the content is not watchable. If there is an exclusive anime I want to see I’ll watch it on a sketchy site that has 100s of pop ups or wait till it’s available on another service.

Worst app ever
This app is terrible. It keeps logging me out and telling me I don’t have a membership, then forcefully redirects me to the payment screen. After that, it says I already have an active membership. When I finally manage to start watching my show, I get an error message and the app logs me out again. Then the entire process repeats over and over

Save your money
The app is trash, sometimes I’m able to watch a series then out of nowhere an error message pops up saying it’s not available in my country even though I’d been watching multiple episodes. The dubs don’t show up sometimes and my overall experience with it has been horrible. Save your money or get Crunchyroll.

Audio/subtitle issues
Overall I like the variety of content available. HOWEVER, my biggest gripe with this platform is the audio and subtitle syncing is below average. Often times the subtitles just randomly stop functioning or fall out of synch. Rarely does a full restart of the app resolve this issue and some places they just never show up. The only reason I keep this app is curiosity about what anime’s aren’t on the main streaming services.
To the developers- please continue to improve this and user interface overall. It’d be nice to know what I’ve already watched and to have functioning subtitles.
