Minor changes would be amazing
Although this app is very nice there’s still many annoying things to it.
First: why is there no option for seeing the English titles of each anime instead of the “original” name for the anime? It’s just kinda annoying.
Second: when it comes to anime’s that have multiple seasons it’s very inconsistent on how I “list” them. It’s almost like I have to “list” different anime’s when it’s all the same show just different seasons. Go look up a show like “Naruto: Shippuden” then look up “That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime” and you’ll see what I mean.
But overall it’s a great app!! And it’s far better then using apple notes to track.
Am I being hacked by the app?
Lately when I use the app, I keep getting notifications saying “scanning your device” and now whenever I try to update my list, it brought me to a website that’s been saying the same thing. Now I’m too scared to even open the app.
This Doesn't make any sense
So I like to look at manga and this app let's me to watch manga and etc but when I download this on my iPad it doesn't allow me to watch any anime or BL manga anime. I tried tutorials, looking it up, but nothing it just a list of anime that you can't watch. So I highly recommend do not download this app
Take the censorship off the mal app
Take the censorship off the mal app,
it doesnt make sense to not even have it as an option in settings, and just leaving the spots blank in your list.
If its an act to allow children to use mal
'legally' then just put censorship as a default option and have it so we can agree to the tos to be able to acurately list the anime/manva/manwha we watch/read.
And another thing:
have the pfp's of characters be voted upon in a poll, either permanently or just season by season base,
a lot of the current pfp's look ghetto/ a lot of work was clearly absent from the photos,
so having an everchanging selection would keep the fanbase engaged and entertained by the images chosen that are 'up to date'.
App crashes on iOS 14
The app doesn’t work on iOS 14 when it claims to be compatible with iOS 14 as it crashes on launch.
HOW DO I WATCHHHHH
I rated this 5stars so ppl could see
I’m trying to watch one of my favorite anime’s (Bungou Stray Dogs) and I can’t figure out how to watch it!!
Could use a couple of improvements but still great!
I like the different lists that you can put anime into; Watching, Completed, On Hold, Dropped, and Plan to Watch. The “Dropped” and “On Hold” lists are definitely more unique to this app. I have 2 recommendations for the app developers. My first would be to maybe make an option for the anime titles to be in Japanese as well as English. You can still search in English, but title results are in Japanese currently. Unfortunately I’m not one to memorize the Japanese translations in titles so it takes a bit more research for me to find my titles if I’m not familiar with the anime’s thumb nail. My second suggestion would be to add more Netflix original anime as well. I looked up a couple of different Netflix original anime on the app and couldn’t find them. Examples; Blue Eye Samurai, Castlevania, Lookism. These aren't ALL super new titles either so it’s not that they’re too new to be updated, unless the app is that behind on updating anime. It seems like everything has been updated as far as new releases announced from AnimeJapan 2024 which occurred about 2 weeks ago, so that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Horrible app
Website is awesome app is horrible not just the problems but add for everything. Just uninstall and use website.
My anime list doesn’t work half of the time
The ui is good and smooth but sometimes goes to another link or half of the time its an error code or the “phrasing is wrong”
Fails to update my changes
The major flaw of this app is it fails to update my changes. I try to track each episode as I watch them and almost inevitably the next time I go in to update my watch history the last few weeks of changes disappeared showing missed episodes, missing show ratings, and more, and I have to go back and update them again.
Also, each show is missing some info. It’s a huge hassle in particular when I want to hire what TIME a show airs, or if I want to update my rewatch history. I have to somehow open the web version of MAL to view those.
