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. 👍👍

Wish I could give it 5 my premium can out and I'll be renewed on payday though gave me a chance to use the free version, the main issue is there aren't really any adds it's just berating me to get premium again 3 of the same add over and over for the premium membership. They also throttle your connection when it's on free I have a 200mbps connection and never seen a buffer while on premium. It's definitely worth the money if you are a paid customer though bar the que I'm not seeing much of a reason I would stay if I was free. 3 star if free. 5 star if premium. 4 star overall.

The app is pretty smooth. It's easy to navigate through selections of anime. I have premium membership, so streaming is great. The only problem that I have with it is that a line of subtitles will come on the screen for a brief second and frequently I have to rewind and pause those parts because it doesn't fix. This issue never happens when I watch on the computer.

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.

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.

Aspen August 17, 2017

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.

Joe Frickenstein October 1, 2017

I've had this app for a couple years now. At first it was great, I was able to stream with no problems. As for the past few months, it's been garbage. It's always buffering on the apps whether it's on my phone, Xbox or playstation. The website itself seems a little better, but only just. Since im actually paying for it, I dont expect to have these issues. I can watch netflix and youtube with no issues, so its not my internet.

The_Salty_Captain August 27, 2017

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.

Nicholas Driscoll October 8, 2017

I highly enjoy crunchyroll's services but I have a bug that double buffers and shows a small section of an episode twice before continuing this happens almost every two to three minutes roughly doubling the run time. Please fix this bug and I will come back with a five star and a better review. Also I am premium if you are wondering.

Jannes August 27, 2017

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.

Evan McConville October 14, 2017

The ads need to calm down, but over all it's a pretty good app. Also the videos keep buffering and won't let me watch more than 2 videos in a day. Would give five stars if this was fixed. Crashes my phones internet every time I use it

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.

Anja D October 1, 2017

The ads man! They keep going until you exit the app, if you skip it it just loads up another one! I get that ads are what makes it free but this is unwatchable. Also there's like 30 animes so there really is no point downloading it. Gave it a fair chance, now I'm gonna go right back to kissanime, thank you very much.

Jimmy Crackorn October 20, 2017

It's been 4 months of this nonsense and I'm losing my patience. I'm tired of paying a subscription for an unbearable streaming experience. I don't want yet another app and service to use while I wait, I want what I've been paying for - uninterrupted, I might add - since year one. I'm inches from cancelling my subscription and finding a new service. I don't want VRV to be my primary. I have an extensive list of anime in my queue here that I don't have the time or energy to transfer.

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!

Jasmine Dubecki October 18, 2017

Free ad-driven playback didn't work on Note 4. Tried to upgrade to premium but only accepts numbers in the postal code section, even if Canada is selected. :( Take my god damned money so I can watch on my pie add-on. Laptop is busy doing the creators update for the next hour.

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...

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.

Dana Silver September 17, 2017

What the app is supposed to do, Netflix for anime, is great. But the app is seriously unstable. It desyncs when casting to a device or screen. God help you if you don't have a pay account because 99 percent of the time you'll be completely unable to watch a single episode as it enters a commercial loop. There are reports of this for YEARS. Awful design. The company clearly doesn't care about its users. I wish any company would compete well against them. Horrifically bad app.

Lucky Scarlett October 9, 2017

I was charged twice in July and twice in September. When I contacted Crunchyroll support I was met with nonsense about why was being charged twice. It became apparent that it was a non-issue for Crunchyroll and I would not be refunded. Only when I stated I was immediately canceling my subscription did they offer to refund only one of the extra charges. Shame Crunchyroll, Bad business.

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.

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.

Nick Hires September 19, 2017

The app is pretty much unusable! Every video I try to watch will play for a minute or 2 and then get stuck in a loop of buffering and jumping audio back about 10 secs then it may continue for about 30 secs and then get stuck in the loop again or just immediately jump back into the loop. This has been happening for months and I was just going to give them the chance to fix the issue but no such luck since April 2017. Find another way to watch your anime.

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.

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

Matt B September 24, 2017

I'm a premium member, I love the service that comes with this membership. However there's a glitch that's serverly annoying and that glitch causes one's video to loop 10 seconds back and play the audio but not the visual. It's really annoying and I would give this app 5 stars if it weren't for that glitch

Leo Vuitton October 2, 2017

Your app is almost as bad as your site. Too many breaks in episodes. Too many ads in breaks. This is why everyone uses illegal streaming sites too watch anime. No English dub on about 98% of shows that have been dubbed over. My phone screen will turn off every time the ads start playing If u can't skip it and when I turn it back on the app crashes and I have to exit the app and restart the episode and watch all the ads again. How dare you charge money for this. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Fix everything.

Patrick Devine October 10, 2017

Great shows but way over the top with adds. 5 adds after the intro 3 more sets of adds during the show. A third of what i watched was adds. Im happy to watch adds but when they ruin the content i am trying to consume its too far. Zero chance i will sub now too. Would have considered it if my time was more enjoyable.

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?

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..

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.

B_Radical Always October 15, 2017

Well beside the fact everytime I skip some video I get the "Hi guys it's Dipper here" ad over and over and over and over and over again. I legitimately have too force close it and restart. It has a huge range of anime and lot that I never knew about. Great app but alas only one flaw. 5 stars if fixed!

Joseph Ryman October 8, 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. I'm revising this review several months later and all the problems that are mentioned here still persist, I'm lowering the rating down to one star.

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.
