Great site but too complicated

It’s overly complicated to find different genres, AND every title is in Japanese and I don’t speak Japanese. Why not add a translation setting not just for English but other languages too. Not everyone wants to learn Japanese just to add an anime to a list. 9anime will still forever be the best anime finder. All these other places suck just like this one

Built for profit

As someone who loves the website- this app is isn't terrible, but lacks genuine functionality and is riddled with ads. Please find less predatory ads and allow users to draft a list without needing to sign in.

Trash

Good app. Wish it had a few more features.

It’s a good app for the vast majority of the stuff I use MAL for. I do wish the app had a few of the features that the full website has. The full site’s search function is more robust with filtering options for genres, themes, and demographics. Would be nice to have natively on the app without having to basically use the mobile site via internal browser. Some adult-oriented titles don’t show up in search results on the app but will on the full site. I’m sure that’s more to do with the App Store restrictions, but a “see full site” placeholder for the title on the app would be nice. Sometimes I only know a title and assume it’s not on MAL when it’s not in the search results.

Side note: My original review was for a bug that has since been fixed. Not sure if the developer’s response remains after I make this update.

Constant Parsing Errors

Keep getting a “parsing failed” error when searching. MAL bug page says to update the app but there’s no update available.

worst tracking app

always glitches, last update is two years ago. neither the website work nor the app

5 Stars

I give 5 stars for this app but I only wish one thing, PLEASE PUT IN SPANISH!!!

It’s good but I prefer the website

It just lags a lot and constantly gets stuck and give me a network error when everything else I use is fine and working

decent if it works

App is fairly barebones. Decent when it works.
Half the time the app is stuck on the logo splash screen.
Lacks a lot of features and often opens in-app browser to compensate.
Might as well just use the web version instead.

worst tracking app

always glitches

Ehh it works I guess

My main complaints are being able to choose the English title by default, and seeing what platform(s) the titles will be available on. Another thing is I think separating complete seasons makes things more difficult they should be under one tab and be able to separate in there.

Ma perché nessuno la rende meno obsoleta???

È un vero peccato che un’app così utile sembri rimasta al paleolitico. Qualcuno la aggiorni😱

Option for notes

I like the current app, but is it possible to add the option to add/edit notes for series on our lists? Similar to the notes feature on the myanimelist website.

suggestion

I suggest that the rating feature is a bit more complex in the selection of numbers

PLEASE CHANGE LAYOUT

like i love the app i really do but the reason why people don’t get it is because it’s not easy to use, there’s a lot of things i would change with the layout please make your app better

Improvements are necessary

‘Loading gear’ animation appears permanently on the screen while using some features in the app. This bug only gets fixed after you close the app and reopen it.

Needs work

App doesn’t launch half the time. I constantly get stuck on the startup splash page unless I delete and reinstall the app.

Missing a ton of features that are available on the web, like sorting capability etc

Super hard to log in

Logging in on this app takes like 20 minutes and is ridiculously laggy, slow and so much more to the point where longing in feels like literal torture.

laggy.

I love this app—it’s genuinely amazing. So why the two-star rating if I’m saying that? Well… the performance is a big issue. The app lags a lot—and I mean, really badly. It gets especially frustrating when I’m trying to add anime to my list, only for the app to completely shut down after five minutes (or more) of use. Then I have to reload it and start over, which gets annoying fast.
I don’t think this is an issue with my phone—it’s fairly new, and all my other apps run perfectly fine. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t perform nearly as well.
Please look into this, devs!

Não tem em português!

Eu poderia dar 5 estrelas, mas é uma falta de respeito eles não colocarem uma versão em português. Isso nao é difícil. E outra, algo que seria útil seria recomendar animes com base no perfil.
