Ratings and reviews

Honestly the best client for Anilist. Has almost every feature. I think that the forums are missing, though. The UI has good adjustability. It's easy to find the information I want. I am rating 4 instead of 5 stars because for the past month or so the app will crash while it's open in the background. I'm tired of being notified about the app crashing. It never crashes while I'm actually using it, though. If there is a way to share a crash dump, let me know and I'll do it.

Some design aspects were better before version 2. Social button on the home page seems out of place. Having to go to social then go to notifications made much more sense. Version 2 lost out on the community themes which I liked more than any of the default themes. Old style trending anime/manga was easier to quickly glace at and see, now you have to swipe through a lot in order to see the full list. Profile anime/manga count doesn't show full counts but completed only. Add options in settings...

If you could add an option to have set filters, that'd be nice. There's some tags that I always want to filter out, and it's kinda annoying to have to do that everytime I use the Explore page. Otherwise, this app does what it needs to. I'm still on v1.2.8, & won't update to v2.0 due to reviews here, so maybe also add a 'don't show me again' option when opening the app would be great.
