### 4/5 — Super App

*2025-03-13, version 1.0.47*

Fehlen nur noch Widgets (für Manga & Anime).

### 5/5 — Modern and Clean

*2025-02-09*

Big upgrade from the official app. Very Apple in design and nice to use. Like the feature of being able to listen to OP and ED from Spotify in the app. Nice work from a solo dev.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-01-24*

Best app to use to keep up for your anime, it’s perfectly made and you can find anything, and trust me I’ve used and tried every anime app out there !

### 5/5 — Might be the best

*2025-01-13*

Very clean UI and the rewatching option is nice. Some things are behind a paywall but it’s mostly extra customization. I do wish you were able to hide scores, that’s a turn-off across most anime/manga tracking apps.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! 
Please, send an email detailing more of this feature request to kitsune@alexandremadeira.dev.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2024-12-23*

Best app to use to keep up for your anime, it’s perfectly made and you can find anything, and trust me I’ve used and tried every anime app out there !

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-12-16, version 1.0.46*

An excellent and user-friendly application that is constantly being improved and developed. Thanks

### 5/5 — Sehr schöne und moderne App für MyAnimeList

*2024-11-06, version 1.0.44*

Habe bisher die offizielle MAL App zum schnellen tracken von Animes und Mangas genutzt, aber seitdem ich diese App entdeckt habe, nutze ich nur noch diese.
Die App sieht viel besser, schöner und moderner als die offizielle App aus und es gibt viele selbst einstellbare Funktionen, wie das automatische hinzufügen von Start und Enddatum oder auch das nach rechts Wischen, um eine Episode oder ein Kapitel als geschaut/gelesen zu markieren, ist wirklich gut gemacht.
Außerdem ist die Option, die Liste zusätzlich und gleichzeitig mit AniList zu Synchronisieren einmalig und mir in keiner anderen App bekannt, was ein sehr geiles Feature ist, um die beiden größten Anime und Manga Tracker an einem Ort zu haben.
Preislich kann ich für die Premium Version auch nicht meckern und freue mich auf weitere neue Features!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-10-03, version 1.0.44*

Stumbled upon this by accident, have been a Shokufukuru user but this here is better in every single way…. and it is also on all devices. Instantly bought premium (also cheaper than the competition)

The only complaint I have is with the detail view on iPad and Mac. There’s a lot of empty space below the trailers. It‘s a minor thing, though. Hope you keep working on this!

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2024-09-25, version 1.0.43*

Diseño perfecto para IOS, sencilla y con todas las funciones necesarias para llevar el registro de tus animes. Lo único que diría es que faltan traducciones al español en la zona de “Horario”, por lo demás, ninguna pega.

### 5/5 — Best app out there!

*2024-08-19, version 1.0.38*

The most recent update that adds connected services, especially the AniList one is a godsend for me. I kept using both services, MAL and AniList, back and forth and now with this Kitsune update I can use both at the same time with just one app! This is wonderful!

### 5/5 — Easily the best MAL app

*2024-07-27*

It’s absolutely fantastic. Near perfection in every aspect of it. It was an instant decision in buying and supporting. The only thing that I wish it could have was the ability to see which episodes I haven’t seen or I’m trailing behind on currently airing anime. Sometimes I just forget what I watched or I forget to mark it down as seen. It would be extremely helpful for an airhead like me. Other than that I cannot recommend this app enough!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! The upcoming update will include a way to see the current episode on the Schedule.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — O ANILIST NÃO SINCRONIZA

*2025-09-25, version 2.1.0*

estou tentado sincronizar ao anilist mas simplesmente não vai de jeito nenhum.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-10, version 1.0.4*

Looks great but doesn’t actually do anything. On a title’s edit screen you can update your episode count, score etc. but those aren’t reflected in the main list or on MAL itself. So, so far, it’s useless. Hope the developer manages to work on it because it looks promising.

### 2/5 — How do I press play to watch plzzz telll meee

*2025-07-28*

Plzzz tell me all it says is to edit that’s it in demon slayers infinity castle

### 2/5 — Laggy

*2024-10-18*

Freezes up and buffers every couple minutes. Restarting the app just brings it back to a buffering state so you have to wait on the app to figure itself out.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing freezing issues. Could you please send an email using the app? You can do this by going to the Profile tab, then Settings -> About -> Send Email. This will help me investigate the problem and find a solution. 

Thank you for using Kitsune!

### 3/5 — usable but...

*2025-07-10, version 2.0.2*

i found the schedule tab cannot be removed annoying and there is no display of overall score on anime/manga pages. these aside the app looks promising and beautiful. a good alternative to use MAL on iPad.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2024-12-20*

It was great before 2 days ago, but now it keep loading and it’s not opening anything it’s not letting me do anything, please fix this

**Developer response:** Please, send an email to kitsune@alexandremadeira.dev and I’ll help you with this.

### 3/5 — Good

*2024-10-26*

It’s good (much better than the official MAL) but still needs some polishing. In particular, sorting manga lists by start date gives a totally incorrect result. Also it would be nice to be able to filter lists by type (TV, Movie etc).

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! I’ll be looking into adding filter options to the lists in the next update and also investigating the reported bug. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Freezes a lot

*2024-10-09, version 1.0.44*

I really love the simple design of Kitsune! It’s super easy to use, and tracking my anime is a breeze. The ability to sync with both MyAnimeList and AniList at the same time is such a great feature, making it easy to keep everything organized. Plus, the UI is just really nice to look at.

That said, I’ve run into some pretty annoying issues. Whenever I try to edit multiple anime in quick succession, the app freezes for about 3-5 minutes. The only way to get it working again is to just wait it out. Restarting the app or even my phone doesn’t seem to help, which is frustrating when I’m just trying to make some quick edits.

Also, I wish the rating system allowed for decimals! Sometimes, I feel like a show deserves a 7.4 instead of being forced into a flat 7 or 8. It would make the ratings feel way more accurate.

Overall, I really enjoy using Kitsune, but I hope these issues get sorted out soon!

### 4/5 — Needs ui improvements

*2026-01-05*

Loving the app but I see some things could use changing imo. I wish the score for a show was near the top and now shoved down in the information with a small font. Same going for how many users have it on their list.

Instead of a hamburger menu for watching, on hold and all those I really wish it would be swiping through like on mal. Just keep the sorting options in the hamburger menu

### 4/5 — One of the best

*2025-10-11, version 2.1.0*

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-06-02, version 2.2.1*

I use it for MyAnimeList and it works flawlessly.

### 5/5 — 🔥

*2026-01-26*

Genuinely one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded

### 5/5 — This is a good software, but its only drawback is...

*2025-12-25*

Will the software support other languages ​​in the future? For example, will it be translated into Simplified Chinese?

### 5/5 — This is what the official app should be.

*2025-10-16*

This doesn’t have every feature yet, but for just managing your list on the go, it’s perfect. There is a small fee to use some in-app features but it is optional and much preferable to obnoxious advertising.

### 5/5 — Mejor que MAL

*2025-08-20, version 2.0.2*

Interfaz limpia, bonita, en varios idiomas y pago de por vida. Estoy encantada con la aplicación y su desarrollo, gran trabajo🫶🏼

### 5/5 — Best MAL Client

*2025-06-13*

No Ads, nice UI, straight forward. This is the best for tracking anime on MAL. Puts the official app to shame.

### 5/5 — What I was looking for

*2025-05-23, version 1.0.48*

I just discovered your app and it's so nice!

I'd like to report a bug: the progress for manga doesn't show if you're completing volumes rather than chapters. 

Other than that, it's very useful, beautiful and simple.
I encourage you to create more widgets, and of different sizes.

### 5/5 — Perfect for MAL-Users

*2025-05-07, version 1.0.48*

The app itself is really well made and in a really far stadium. You can clearly see how much time and arrord has been put into. I'm already happy for upcoming updates

### 5/5 — Absolutely great app

*2025-04-12, version 1.0.48*

I used the official mal app for a long time but it is very slow and laggy. Then I switched to anilist and was searching for an iOS app and found this app.
This app is everything I wanted, is beautiful and even supports both mal and anilist. 

One thing I would still like to see would be a sync option, to sync mal to anilist and the other way around. I want this because I use some anilist integrations and want my mal also to be up to date. Thanks

### 5/5 — The best MAL app out there

*2025-02-28*

Beats the official MAL and every other anime app. (If you can even call what MAL has an app). The app is incredibly clean and feature-rich. Their premium has a few nice customizations for one time $2 and it was an easy yes for me to support. NO Subscriptions! Such a nice thing. I have a few additional features I reached out to the dev for. Hoping they get added and this will be even better. 10/10 get this one. You can even update AniList at the same time.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and for your feedback!
