What happened bro

I’ve been using this app for over a year and it’s been amazing but the last update from when I’m typing this was 10 months ago, and recently my WakuWaku stopped working and I can’t make reviews, rate anime, or add new anime to the list, I’ve also seen others have this same problem and I’m slowly seeing more super cool and awsome people disappear from the app, some haven’t been on in over 5 months, so WakuWaku why did yall abandon your app? Honestly just get something else cause though this app has been with me for so long, and it’s so amazing, it’s dead now, literally:( Atleast I have Jesus Christ our lord and savior:)

Doesn’t work anymore

I give it 3 stars for how much I loved this app before, but roughly a week and a half ago it stopped working. I’m no longer able to search for anime, add new reviews, or update my progress without using the “next episode” button. My friends and I loved using this app for anime reviews before and to look at each other’s progress, and I’d love to see this fixed. It doesn’t work for them anymore either

Love This App!!

I’ve only used this app for about 24hrs and it’s already become a necessity for all times.

One of my favorite features is being able to see when new episodes will approx. come out once they’re are near their release date.

I also like that I was able to find many of the anime and manga I have watched/read or plan to watch/read. Of course not all of the manga I was looking for is there but it’s honestly not a problem.

Also at first I thought this was the case for a portion of the anime I wanted to list, but then I found out some of them were filtered and I was able to change that with the apps help. Just kind of have to look for that a little (for y’all who had this issue).

As a bonus: I also like that I can customize not only the interface but also the app icon by just buying a tip (really recommend ? and please support the dev.)

It is clear that the Dev worked so hard on this so I’m really happy to say I support this guy and hope other users too. If the Dev decides to read this I hope it made your day to know that you have a great app already that also has a lot of potential to become even greater in the future. Nice work!

Best anime app

Friend turned me on to CRoll a few years back. Haven’t looked back since! Went premium right away, and honestly, I don’t even care that it went to 7.99. I canceled my Netflix in favor of it. I watch WakuWaku probably 5-6 days a week. My queue is a mile long and I’m still trying to catch up. I’ve seen more shows than I can keep track of, and even rewatched some that I’d already seen, completely forgetting I had already seen them. They have the newest shows during the hottest trends, and with the fastest turnaround time between Japan’s original air time and their stream release. It’s literally like same-day. Back in the day we had to torrent shows and find awful sites to try and get anime from, and some of it (most of it) wasn’t even legal. Or the subs were done by fan groups that got a lot wrong. If you’re an anime fan, skip the other garbage and just drop the 8 bucks a month for premium. It’s worth it. Not to mention that I’ve met some of the staff at Otakon and they’re genuinely cool people. I’ll gladly give them my cash to support what they’re doing. They do it better than everyone else. Thanks, CRoll!

Good but (ISSUE down below)

I love the idea of being able to keep track of your anime however for reason the search doesn’t search all anime available (on the website), so in order for me to add a show that’s not queryable I need to go to the web app to do so. It shows up in the app after being added.

Amazing app but a few glitches with premium.

This app is the best source of anime that I have used, but I have noticed some stuff with premium of which I do not know if they are intentionally implemented or if they are accidentally added, there are glitches and how you can exploit it for free anime with no ads by having extra time that has been happening to me. You see, a recent glitch is happening for it to always give you 2 weeks free, I will elaborate on that later. 1st, I just want to say how great this app is, even without premium, you can watch many subs and dubs for free, I do love this aspect but every time I buy a month of premium, it always gives me 2 weeks extra. I don’t know exactly how or if this is an intentional aspect of it but it is worthwhile for you to look into this if you do not mean for these things.

Great!!

This app is great & for all you new people looking at all these reviews where people are complaining about this app if you notice it’s all about the ads “not working right” or “there’s to many of them”
… umm how about you just pay the $8 a month and you won’t have these problems! I mean come on it’s $8 A MONTH less then a quarter a day that’s nothing! you’re literally complaining about a FREE service do you not get that they do this to entice you to just pay the tiny monthly fee! it boils down to this: STOP being ungrateful! if you wanna be cheap and watch ALL this wonderful anime that entire teams dedicate there lives to (which are really under paid) all for NOTHING then STOP complaining! if you contributed to this wonderful world of anime then maybe you can have some complaints until then enjoy the nice long ad breaks!

Recommended but some things

There are way to many ads, I’m watching the app for free and it basically spams self promotion and there isn’t any diversity in them. It’s just SAO or self promotion, I still love the app but I unless you get premium your stuck watching the same ads over and over. Sometimes there is a new ad but it just disappears as I only see it once or twice, then I just see re:zero season two being spammed, I recommend having more diversity like giving less popular anime a chance, for example an anime a watch called Charlotte is often overlooked by the community as bigger anime’s like one piece is getting attention. Another thing, some ads like mha season 4 has been out for some time and doesn’t need ads for it as people have most likely known about the new season. Overall I think the app is great and besides the ads it’s anime selection is very wide.

Why.. tho??

I wanted to watch anime and I heard this was a great app to watch anime on- but I’m frustrated and sad that we have to get premium for an anime. I understand paying for premium supports WakuWaku and all that but I realized that the only anime that doesn’t need premium is “My Hero Academia” and yeah there’s probably other ones that don’t need premium. I know there’s other people on the app that are also upset because you have to pay for premium “we” want to be satisfied by all the anime right? So why put premium for like all the anime’s? And also the 1 free episode is always the one that gets you into the anime! I really want you guy’s to at least take it on the most popular anime’s. I’m really interested on watching “ Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club” so yeah- ( sorry i sounded rude ?) Since I started watching MHA- straight to the point the ads are annoying why is there like 10 in each episode? Not only that but in one ad it adds up to 2-3 like I can’t enjoy watching the anime anymore tbh bring it down a little please.. like 3 ads is enough. Please and thank you fix the ads problem! Premium isn’t necessary in every anime ?

Annoyed

I used WakuWaku, I was trying to watch my favorite anime, One Piece but they is too many ads, even the ads are 6 ads in a row, which is dumb. Please reduce the ads to 1 short ad or something, because if you always put the ads into 6 ads in a row, it'll be horrible.

2. The horrible thing is I cannot get premium on WakuWaku because my family needs to save money. This is very annoying and can you like reduce the ads to only 1 ad every 2/3 minutes because I always see the same ads which is annoying.

I usually think you get ads every 2/3 minutes, but a One Piece episode has 24 minutes, so reducs the ads to 1 ad please! You'll make me and the users who cannot afford premium happy!

Very Clean Layout

I started on MyAnimeList like most other people since it is somewhat of a standard or go-to for avid anime watchers. But I happened to stumble upon the website and really enjoyed how it was laid out so I took to getting the app. I really like how customizable it is and how clean and updated the layout looks. I particularly like that you can unlock special features in the app through a one time purchase of which you can choose from 3 different affordable prices, the lowest of which, $1.99. They don’t make you commit to a subscription or a large amount in order to unlock even more of a customizable approach to your app, which is something I can really appreciate. I enjoy helping out people and developers but not everyone can afford subscriptions and such so it is very nice that the app/website doesn’t ask for much from the users. I highly recommend this app!

Big Fan

I was shocked how well made it is when I first installed it. It’s incredibly convenient. I’m a big fan of tracking my progress and seeing how accomplished of a weaboo I am!! The customization is really nice too. The website is even more impressive and fleshed out. Some of the website’s features are missing on the app and I hope those features will find there way on the easy-to-access interface of the app someday, but for now I’m content.

An amazing app

WakuWaku is the first place that I really started watching anime. I got premium right away and have been watching shows religiously for the past two years. The amount of shows that I could watch and the different options to find shows made it easy to fill my free time. When the new UI changed in the recent update, it got so much easier to find shows that I like because of the recommendations it gives you. The only problem I have is that a feature I used a lot in the old UI was checking what new episodes come out everyday in the “new” tab. There is a section to see what shows are getting new episodes in the season, but it doesn’t really tell you when a new episode itself comes out. Other than this problem, which can be worked around, I have no complaints and only love towards WakuWaku.

Excellent application

I would like to clarify that the application is pretty good I have to admit that if you see it and I really liked it a lot the only thing I would like to add is that they add an option where one could see how many chapters an anime has because I have noticed that it is an option that it does not have and I think it would be very helpful also I think adding a section where we can add the anime and mark it as watched anime so we know which anime we have seen I know there is something similar but it is something quite vague and I think people would not understand it very clearly so I think adding that option to mark mood and as watched and that one can see that section of watched anime would be really great

Something wrong with the ad

Ok so I’m just watching the anime and the an ad play so I’m like aright but then when the ad plays nothing pops up so I exit out of it and go back then it works. Now when I try that it doesn’t work it like “here an ad” then it give me no ad so I try everything to give me the ad to continue the show but nothing works. So I’m just waiting there seeing a blank screen just waiting for the ad. I had waited SO LONG for the ad to pop up (it was 4 hour) I was determined to get the ad to pop up. I just gave up on waiting for this ad to pop up because I know that it’s not going to so I’m like “welp” I’m doing something else.

Then after a day or so I went back to see if it was happening again it went back to normal the after one episode it like “ ohh you wanna watch the second episode nope”. Then my screen turned blank so I reset the app then try watching other show but it didn’t work the same thing happen. So can you please look into it. If you do then thank you.

Best app for tracking your favorite and latest anime ?

I’ve been using this app for 2 years and it never fails me. I love how easy it is to track all my animes that I watched and wanna watch and for the upcoming animes it will tell me exactly when they air and I liked that I can favorite as many anime,characters, and voice actors as I want 5/5 for me would recommend!
