HIDIVE

This new update has fixed the main issue I had with the app, AirPlay wouldnt work so I couldn’t cast and watch the anime on my TV. But now with the new update this is fixed. I got the subscription solely to watch Ragna Crimson, but I’ve found other anime I want to watch like Chained Soldier, Made In Abyss, Akame Ga Kill, Peter Grill, The Eminence in Shadow, Call of the Night to name a few. Now if they could just get the English dub faster, Netflix drops both dubs on the day of release, this should be the norm. I’m fed up waiting to watch Chained Soldier. Another issue I have is the censorship, Redo of Healer, Peter Grill & a few others have all the Ecchi scenes censored, but Gushing over Magical Girls & Chained Soldier isn’t censored. I do not understand censoring content on a subscription based app, this is not TV, it shouldn’t be censored, this is a big turn off for me. They even censored a broken finger in Redo of Healer, it looks ridiculous. They also added a 30 second skip forward/back button in this update which I really needed, as I couldn’t skip forward while watching on my phone, as I had to drag the time bar and it’s in the same place as the home button. This update has fixed most of the issues I had with the app, it’s just cosmetic problems I have now like the view of the anime in my queue, all the anime is now in small icons on the side of the screen, I preferred the old large icon view. But the new update is a big improvement on the app.

I can’t use AirPlay and cast it to my TV, this is a major problem as this is how I watch all my anime. It just gets stuck on the loading and then stops trying. Not sure how to fix this problem.

It alright but need to add a way u can go forward 10sec or go back 10sec and all so a skip button

App doesn’t work video player doesn’t even try to load just gives a play button with a line through it. I paid money for something that doesn’t work

It has no big anime’s and quality goes down after buffering I’d not recommend it

This app has a lot of annoying controlling problems which I’m surprised that they aren’t fixed let but the biggest problem has to be the large amount of missing content. We only get about a 1/3 of what’s on the website on the app but I’m hopeful these issues will be fixed soon. (Month’s later). No fix’s to the controls or to the missing content. Just some piss poor excuse to why. Goodbye HIDIVE, your such a let down.

This is the most incompetent app I have ever used. It isn’t that hard to send an email to change my password, yet this excuse of an app is an outlier. It annoys me that most of the good animes are on this. Saying that this is where all anime fans belong is absolutely ridiculous.

I read all the bad reviews and decided not to use the app. All the issues people are having seem to be fixed if you access HIDIVE through the Amazon Prime app and purchase HIDIVE there for the same price as just the app. Now that doesn’t help if you don’t have a Prime account… but it works

If there were subtitles in Spanish I would have been subscribed but well

I just want to have a convenient and legal way to watch anime and support the shows but unfortunately Hidive just can’t seem to figure it out somehow. The homepage is a nightmare to navigate. It’s hard to search for what currently airing this season and finding the show you want to watch without having to go directly to search bar. Shows also don’t show up in watchlist from time to time, episodes that are watched don’t get marked as finished, home page not loading, etc. Additionally it would be really nice if there’s comment sections, likes/dislikes, and reviews to help improve user experience. I don’t mind Hidive having a limited library of shows, but with all the competition out there, if Hidive want people to watch anime on their streaming services, they better find a good development team or else people just going to flock elsewhere.
