Your watch list has been lying to you. AniDrop fixes that. Miss a week of releases? Juggling five seasonals at once? AniDrop tracks every episode individually — so you always know exactly where you left off, what aired while you were gone, and what's dropping next. — TRACK SMARTER — PER-EPISODE TRACKING Every broadcast slot is logged separately. Skip a week and AniDrop quietly remembers what you owe — no manual fixing, no "wait, did I watch that one?" CATCH-UP QUEUE One dedicated queue, oldest unwatched episode first. Mark it done, the next one slides in. Getting through a backlog has never felt this satisfying. LOCK-SCREEN & HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS Six variants — from a compact inline countdown to a full episode queue right on your home screen. Within two hours of an episode airing, the lock-screen widget starts counting down silently. Your phone becomes an anime dashboard. LOCAL NOTIFICATIONS Get pinged the moment a new episode drops, in your timezone. No app refresh needed. CUSTOM LISTS Watching, completed, dropped — fine, but you probably need more than that. Build whatever lists make sense for how you watch. MYANIMELIST IMPORT Already tracking on MyAnimeList? Pull everything over in one tap and pick up right where you left off. PROFILE & STATS Total episodes, favourite genres, average rating, watch history — all visualised. Finally, something to show for all those hours. — PRIVACY, FOR REAL — No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Your data lives on EU servers and you can delete it whenever you want. Built by one developer who actually watches anime. --------------------------------------------- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://suprise7.github.io/anidrop-legal/ AniDrop Pro is an auto-renewable subscription.
