Well yes it is true that they offer free shows and free trials and this was a repreable application but now it went down. I can't play a video without it stopping and loading, freezing at a scene while the video is still playing, going back in the video, or going forward in the video. I don't even mind the on-going attack of commercials, that's how they get paid most of the time. I just don't like how I gotta deal with the glitches when I have a great phone with 4g lte all bars. But still....free shows

I would love to rate this 5 stars, and if I could actually watch something I probably would. I am a premium member, so I have a que and every time I go to watch an anime it takes to long and times out. You need to do what Netflix has done with the ability to download shows at home so it doesn't waste your data. You want us to support the anime community, well we're part of that community as well so help us out...

I'm in love with this app, i can watch all my favorite animes and discover new ones... my only problem is when im streaming it through chromecast, for some odd reason, whenever i click the button to go to the next episode the timeline bar becomes useless, it plays the next episode but the timeline bar stays at whichever time you clicked the "next button" on the previous episode. And therefore the +10sec button also doesn't work. If this could be fixed it would definetely be a 5+ stars!

Amazing app. Stop complaining. It's free anime ya there's gonna be ads. Also, although there not as fancy as netflix, there's not as many people that wanna just watch anime and Netflix is broader, but Netflix doesn't offer more than maybe 10 of the shows Crunchyroll does. Amazing app. Great price. Awesome options. Not many dubs but honestly the only anime better in English is the Dragonball (every separate one) series. Can't find a better place than crunchyroll. 5 stars. 10.0 score. Two thumbs up. 👍👍

Aspen

Excellent on wifi (premium user so not dealing with ads), but on mobile networks this is basically unusable. Standing still in 4g where i can stream other services at 1080p60fps it constantly buffers and video will freeze randomly. Make the 3g/4g experience better if you want me to recommend to others.

I love crunchyroll. That's why I'm updating my review. I love all the anime they get every season, and the quality is better then Netflix. However similar to my last review, crunchyrolls app seems to be having problems with chromecast. It has happened on both the new chromecast (4k variant) and the last gen model. I don't know if anyone else has had a similar problem. Other then that, its been great.

Too many ads More than 10 ads on one epidode. 1 at the beginning 4 After opening 5 after mid-break Apparently there are ads before or after the ending but idk how many. Sure the Premium might be a good option, but my rating/review is based upon the free service/app whatever.

Joseph Davis Jr. August 21, 2017

I love the concept and selection of shows especially considering the low monthly price to enjoy a series without any adds(which I pay) but the buffering and load times are HORRRIBLE when I'm on my mobile device. Most of the time I just give up what I'm watching. I'm not sure what the deal is because I'm generally in a pretty good area of coverage or Wi-Fi.

rubberswan raleigh September 15, 2017

Ads shouldnt play one after the other, at least no more than twice. Or, how about offering lower res streams that lower the amount of ads for free users? I might get a subscription anyways for all the content they have, but yeah--just gotta fix the issue with ads.

Charles Gardner September 15, 2017

Loved it until it started looping video and audio and buffering every 15-30 seconds. Several people having the sage issue and no input from the crunchy roll team. Other apps work fine in hd, this app won't even play in low quality. Really disappointing.

AmyIsCreating September 10, 2017

Non premium crunchyroll is a joke. The ads are way too frequent and buggy. I was trying to watch a show and an ad plays, I skip it, then the crunchyroll premium ad starts playing on repeat, if you wanna put ads all over your shows put them in a tv like style, half way through the show and maybe play 3 - 5 ads.

Warrior00013 September 17, 2017

One ad is understandable. It helps drive revenue through the app by sparking intrest in commercial products and services. Two is tolarable. After watching the into to the first anime I tried to watch on this service, I was greeted with five ads. It probably would have been more if I didn't close the program. I'm sorry, but I'm uninstalling. I don't have the patience for your services.

raijjiin September 4, 2017

It is a good site to watch anime. I pay for the membership but the app at times won't even let me watch a show even on Wifi. I have to wait for it to load about 10 mins to only get 5 minutes of a show. I know it isn't my phone as my other streaming apps work fine and this happens during specific times of the day.

David Castano August 29, 2017

Horrible on phone when using data. It stops to buffer all the time and when it buffers you get voice only from 10-20 seconds back so you have to wait till it catches up to the video. Glad I'm on a free trial, definitely won't be paying for this

Kevin Magana August 29, 2017

The app is nice. I don't mind the ads at all considering all this anime is viewable for free. But can you PLEASE fix the constant error/glitching during videos. Every time I try and watch an episode, midway through it says it can't play. I hit retry, and it just repeats the same error. Please fix.

Adam Sleiman August 26, 2017

Was working perfectly fine up until a couple days ago where now one show that I'm watching refuses to work. All that happens is a message coming up saying "we are currently preparing this show for your device. Please check back later". Help? If this issue wasnt happening I'd be rating it 5 stars

Matthew Knight September 8, 2017

Their servers can't handle a continuous stream.. all of my other streaming apps don't restart every 2-3 minutes or get stuck on a reload loop. Also, sometimes the ads don't load because they are broken and it never moves past them! I don't mind ads but omfg it takes 45 minutes to watch a 20 minute show.

Larry Oswald August 16, 2017

Worst experience. I couldn't watch online due to browser limitations (Chrome? seriously?) so I had to install this. Long story short, after seven 30-sec ads I still haven't watched one single second of my show. What happened to Crunchyroll?

cool pad August 23, 2017

CrunchyRoll CrunchyRoll may be a good app, but at over 40MB, the app does not allow itself to be moved to the SD Card where much more memory exists. Also the video player buffers way too much in relation to the viewing time. The pauses are measured in minutes even with a 54MB/Second internet connection. A fix would be to upload the entire video before playing to eliminate the pauses that break up the video. This may also mean playing all the adds before viewing the video.

Willz Weldz August 23, 2017

I paid for premium, never got the 2 week trial... anyways.. always has problems. Disconnects at LEAST 4 times per episode for some B.S.. even on my phone. They're only worried about their money. Not fixing issues..

Sergio Aldaba September 18, 2017

Currently Crunchyroll is unwatchable. The anime freeze , stop, replay, and go out of sync with video and sound. Not sure if it's just certain anime or the whole app. But for premium members like myself this is not worth the monthly fee. Please fix these bugs with the app. And it's not my internet because I am a PC gamer and I have no problems gaming, and I also have Netflix which never freezes. Please fix Crunchyroll.

August 17, 2017

Unusable. Constant adds which run perfectly. Getting the actual show to play is a nightmare. It constantly stops, or jumps back 15 seconds. It's also a data hog. I watched 3 episodes this week and it's used 7gb of data. What!? iPlayer used half that much for twice the content length

Steve's teacher September 6, 2017

Why do i have to watch 5 ads in 1? And why does it takes 365mb data for only 2 episodes? Please lesson the data use and fix the ads. Not all anime episodes are there, and can you please give us an option on censored and uncensored anime please, because seeing floating boxes irritates the flying duck out of me. The smoove episode watching is very nice, it NEVER lags, that's great!

Javaughn Chung September 5, 2017

1 add at a time is cool but I have the same add repeat for 10 times after the opening song. I remember when the free version of this app was cool, no ads but you were always 1 episode behind premium users. That's probably like five years ago. Get it together again!

Joao Ricardo Mendes September 16, 2017

It works very badly. I am trying the free mode, so it is ok to receive ads. But they are build in a way that makes it impossible to navigate and choose an episode or pick up an episode that you did not finished. The streaming works bery badly. I will not try the premium for something as badly constructed

Colby Welch August 31, 2017

I HAVE ONLY EVER LEFT 2 REVIEWS EVER! But 3 ads all at once is ABSURD everybody that wants to watch anime, go to kissanime everything's free no ads except for the ones on the side which you can hide if you chose to. 3 ADS AT ONE TIME NOT EVEN SPREAD APART ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND.

Matt Boto August 27, 2017

Samsung Galaxy S5 user here. The service has been really crappy lately. LOTS of problems with audio desyncing from video and lots of cases where the video outright freezes. It's not a bandwidth issue on my end. No other apps/media have the issues this app is having.

TheOriginal Bagel September 11, 2017

I used to use crunchyroll all the time even when I wasn't a premium member. I was able to deal with the ads because there was only like 3 ads. But now there like 15 ads popping up and it's so annoying please can you just reduce the number of ads, VRV has three 30 sec ads while crunchyroll has three points with like 15 ads.

Alexander Mattsson September 2, 2017

Such a troubled app. Left behind by Netflix in every sense except the content. Offline content? Nope. Multiple profiles? No. Continuous Chromecast playback? No. Does it even properly update after an episode so you can just click to start the next one? It does not... I use it in tandem with Chromecast and it just doesn't work. The app pretty much never know where in the episode it is. At times it doesn't even behave as if there's anything played at all. It just doesn't sync with whatever is playing on the Chromecast. Better off to use Google's own CC app as a remote...

Cristian Gonzalez September 12, 2017

I've counted 10 advertisements when I started a show. And I after the 10th I got 2 minutes and received 10 more ads but when the 11th ad started to play I left. This is absolutely unacceptable to have advertisements play on repeat and no let me watch a darn thing. Terrible. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Niqua Lessane September 12, 2017

Its awesome quality, great selection and organization but could be better. This app isnt really supportive of multi-language audiences. Its hard to find which animes are dubbed and its an annoying process of going threw all animes that are interesting just to find that their is no English dub form. However all animes ive come across have english sub :) i suggest setting up a category bassed on languages

Joel Williams September 6, 2017

I didn't even use the app for a week before I knew it was awful. I started an episode of an anime, and then after the initial ad started, the episode started just fine. Less than a minute in though, another ad started. Now I want going to get worked up over that. What I did get worked up over however is the fact thug when I hit skip ad, kit brought me to another ad, and when I tried to skip that ad, it started over. This cycle continued and I have decided this app isn't worth your time.

Aaron Brewer August 22, 2017

Completely unusable on Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 since the latest update. The video (picture) constantly freezes and the audio keeps jumping back 10 - 15 seconds. Unless this is remedied within a reasonable amount of time, I will be canceling my membership. On a side note, there are others with this EXACT issue. It is NOT my device. Fix your program!

Matt Maksimik August 27, 2017

Decent selection of anime but the app is buggy, often leading to it stopping mid playback while streaming. Combined with the already excessive onslaught of ads this makes viewing next to impossible and certainly unenjoyable.

Marcus w August 29, 2017

It's not that expensive to pay for membership. I am reading free streamers complaining about ads; are there really people that dirt poor that they can't afford 7$ a month for good entertainment?

TheOwen Smith September 20, 2017

Awesome! So much better than VRV! The content loads! Unlike VRV. The ads are there, but you can get them over with without waiting 2-3 minutes for them to load. Buffers a whole lot less than VRV. Excellent user interface:)

mysticxhero September 8, 2017

Ok I get that there needs to be ads for free users but 8 in a row is just excessive. Watching short anime that are 15 minutes long shouldn't have 10 minutes of ads... Uninstalled after 1 episode. If you're a free user then you're probably better off streaming it directly from a browser

Alan Capati September 5, 2017

Why the f*** do you guys not have tokyo ghoul or death note? I have screenshots to prove it. You guys suck at being an anime streaming site/app. Do not download this app. It sucks and is a waste off time. You're better off watching at cheap but good anime sites online.

Joseph Ryman September 15, 2017

It works. There's a decent selection of anime. However video keeps buffering because of limitations on Ellation's end. I don't really feel like watching anything when it buffers every 20 seconds. Shipping customers off to vrv doesn't really help either when you are watching something that only crunchyroll has.

Katryna Bowman September 7, 2017

It a good app with a good selection of anime. I can't stand the ads though and I've tried to sign up for the free trial but it said that my card was already used for free trial which is not true. I then tried to pay for premium but it still won't let me. Please fix.
