I'm like a week late posting here, but just wanted to let everyone know that Atarashii! 1.2.1 is out on the stable channel. Mostly just the fixes that were in the beta, but I did manage to sneak a few changes in to the detail view. Namely the picture now scrolls properly with the rest of the cards, rather than being fixed.

Anyways, enjoy~

Necromancy! Its definitely been a while since our last update, but its finally here! 1.3 is now available (as a beta) on Google Play!

So, what's new? Oh, only just Search and Add, directly from the app.

Oh, and miscellaneous fixes. Stay tuned for more, we do still have some tweaks and fixes to make before releasing to the stable channel. We'll keep you posted :)

@buwie: Definitely a bug. Curious, is your phone on Android 2.2/3? It's where we're seeing a vast majority of problems. Definitely looking into fixes tonight, stick with us. :)

@vbyo: You're welcome!

So yeah, fixes later tonight. Probably.

Today I have encountered a problem with the application. The beta version has forced closed since you released it and the main application was doing fine until today where it forced closed me when I try to update and sync. I uninstalled and reinstalled the main atarashii application but it says there is an error when I sign into the application with my mal account.
I am using a Samsung galaxy S2 and I have sent error report BTW.

I hope you can fix this soon since I am going to miss looking through my list on my phone and I like your application the best out of the ones I tried^_^

Update: It started working like usual the next day. The beta still crashes when I try to sync though.

Hi again! Through the power of voodoo magic, I'm reviving the thread yet again to announce that Atarashii! 1.3 is now in the stable channel! Since the first beta over 4 months ago we've done numerous fixes and even added another hotly requested feature: offline support!

Also, we now have just about 2000 active users! Thanks so much for sticking with us, and look forward to what we have planned next as we're nowhere near done :)

Keep it up! I don't really use the app (I never update my list manually) but I still like to have it on my phone for the sake of it.

Hi, I've noticed a little problem since I've got 2 android devices: if I update my animelist on one device, the other device does not show the updated list. But if I press "Full Sync" on this device then the outdated list gets synced to my list. So it would be useful to have an update-function which just pulls the data from the API to get the updates which have been made on the other device.

EDIT: it's working correctly now, so maybe it was just related to the API issues lately.

This app constantly crashes now for me too, and sync never works anymore. Is the problem with API changes that Atarashii needs to be updated to fix, or is the problem with the MAL and their API just being slow or timing out or something? Pretty frusterating as I always use Atarashii to update progress.

1.3.1 should be rolling out now! We're back online and running.

Currently though search isn't returning results, but that's fixable server-side, so it should come back on soon as well.

Hi! I like this app, and there a just a few features I would really love to see added:

- adding your MAL friends & being able to browse their lists in the same way as yours
- organizing the lists by score/tag as well as title

Any plans to incorporate those? (I apologize in advance if they are there, and I just haven't been able to find them). Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi jeskaeli,

jeskaeli said:

We already created a list which allows you to view the profile of your friends.
This will be most likely introduced at version 1.4.

This isn't available currently and I am not sure if we will add it in the future.

Still thanks for your request.

Hi there,

I just downloaded the app yesterday. Sync works just fine and I love how the simple list also has cover picture shining through behind each title ^o^

But there is one problem and I don't know if my bad/slow internet connection is causing it.
The app freezes at various times (not always) when I want to update an entry.
It ALWAYS crashes when I want to remove something from my list.

My phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, 4.3 Jelly Bean

When will 1.4 be released? Curious me ^^

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Edit:
Since today my app won't show my lists and if it does, it's not synched. Tried logging out and in again, still the same :(

The beta is planned to be released on the first quarter this year but it can get a bit delayed.

Hmm it sounds like a problem I encountered by myself...
I am not sure but if it is the same issue: it should be fixed in the next version(1.4).

As a quick update, the 1.4 beta is now out, you can find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.somethingdreadful.MAL.beta

It uses a much improved method of communication, so that should hopefully be much more stable. Also, it's using a completely new API that Ratan12 and I coded up.

Technical API stuff follows:

The Ruby-based API we were using, and which 1.3 still uses, was somewhat of a dead end as nobody in the developer team on Atarashii knows Ruby well enough to expand on it and there hasn't been much movement at all by the original developer or any contributors at the source. As a result, we moved to a solid PHP frameworks (Symfony) and coded up something compatible. Along the way, we were able to quickly add new features to the API like extended searching support, top, upcoming, and recently added lists, profile viewing and friend support.

We hope to add more advanced features like expanded anime and manga details (start, finish dates, rewatch/reread support, etc) to the API so that Atarashii itself can allow these to be shown and edited.

Fingers crossed here!

As for the beta, I've been using it for a while now and am very happy with it :) Sync works really fast now even though my internet connection is so bad and slow :D no freezing or crashing til now.
Thank you!!!

Why did you choose PHP rather than ASP.NET ?

Well, both of us (Ratan and I) know PHP. I'm not sure how well he knows .NET, but I'm just mediocre with it. Building in .NET would mean learning another major API (probably ASP.NET Web API), but Symfony doesn't have a huge curve if you are already familiar with OO PHP. That was the majority of the reason there.

Also, I already had a Linux server for my personal stuff that was also hosting the Atarashii website and the old Ruby API. That avoided me spending more on another server just for one application.

This pertains to the API sites running for the application.

I have recently discovered that several applications for MyAnimeList have been using the API endpoints I set up for the Atarashii! application. While I'm very flattered, I have had to resort to blocking them. I'm running the services on a server for which I personally pay each month without any special income or donations for its use.

I don't mind Atarashii! using the service as I'm involved in the project, but I do mind other people using it without asking me first, as the potential exists for increased costs.

If anyone wants to use the API hosted on my server for their application, please contact me first and we can discuss your needs. I'm open to allowing access, but I need to know and plan for it, especially if you expect it to be used a lot.

It looks like Incapsula (the service MAL uses for "protection") is having some issues with our API server. Unfortunately, that means the application will not update until this is resolved. All changes should queue in the application until connectivity is restored, but adding, searching, and fetching details will not work.

I've contacted the admin of this site in hopes that a solution can be found soon.

Our API service, which is used by the application for communicating with MyAnimeList, has been blocked by the owner of the MyAnimeList website. The Atarashii! application will not work until we are unblocked.

Edit: We are unblocked!

I've been using this app for a couple of weeks and till now it worked flawlessly. I still do really like the design and layout but for some reason it rarely syncs up well with my MAL account which is quite frustrating. Should I reinstall it? What if that doesn't work?
