Ratings and reviews

Really nice app. The ability to create multiple lists, track progress and rate shows from one place it's really good. It would be nice to have an option to display English titles, for those series that have them. Searching is confusing at first. It only searches your lists unless you go to search in the menu. I do not see any reason for this design. One search function should be sufficient. if you most have two, the default should search everywhere.

This is the most complete client app for MAL. I would recommend using this. However this has way too many bugs. Sometimes it won't put something on a list i want, won't show me friend requests, won't let me remove anime from my list entirely, among other things. This is a good app and most certainly too good considering it is free but if it is going for the feature packed route then have them be more fleshed out before adding new stuff. What I'm trying to say is that the app needs a diet.

I've been using this specific Mal app for years now and it has never let me down. I personally haven't had any issues with crashing or anything of the like though so it's only been a good experience. Loading times while searching can be a little longer than what I would like but it's not enough to bog down the experience at all. This is the client I have always recomend and will continue to do so because of ease of use and aesthetic. A+ guys, keep it up.
