WHY FANS LOVE MANGO • MyAnimeList and AniList, your choice Sign in with either service and the whole app just works: widgets, Siri Shortcuts, Apple Watch, all of it. Use both? Pick a primary service and save every change to both at once (ManGo+). Tap any MyAnimeList or AniList link to open it right in ManGo (ManGo+). • Tracking that takes one tap Choose between classic lists and customizable poster grids. Use swipe actions or a single tap to update your list, add scores and notes, and keep rewatches and rereads moving across every device, including Apple Watch. • Never miss a new episode Get notified the moment a new episode airs or a series premieres.
