Thanks man! Your app is just very pristine and beautiful, and it's so functional! Made me think it was like the official app of MAL! Great job and thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for updating the App. Do you have any speculation on when iMAL for iOS 7 comes out? I don't want to rush you or anything. As long as iMAL2 works, I'm alright.

Btw, After switching between apps and going back to this app with the multitask, when pinching a tab, the app crashes. (Using iOS 7.02)

Yeah, there's a problem with the list animations.
You can turn off the animations to prevent the crash until I submit the fix.
To do that, go to Settings and then put "Expand animation limit" to 1 and turn "Always animated un-expand" off.

About the iOS 7 rework, we're still working on the design with Metricx and I barely started the development. I have no idea when I'll be able to work on it, but I'll keep you updated.

This may be a dumb question, but how do I go about turning on the Twitter update feature?

Edit: Just noticed that feature is planned and not currently in the app. Disregard.

Thanks for all your hard work. And for making it work on so many iOS's. I am using iOS 6. This app is amazing and a joy to use, I would also like to add if the unofficial api would be fixed? Thank you for keeping us updated and working hard on this app. respect 👍

Basically, the old skin used only standard components and since everything changed with iOS 7, I would've had to rework it completely.
I wanted the last update to be released as fast as possible so that the app could be usable again, and that's why I decided to simply remove the old skin.

I don't have that much time to work on iMAL, and I think this time is better spent adding new features and fixing bugs rather than maintaining an old skin.
I will not add the old skin back.

However, we're working (with Metricx) on a new design for iOS 7.

You do understand that I can't fix a bug if you do not tell me how to reproduce it or at least what's happening. "The app is not working" is not enough for me to understand what the problem is, I unfortunately am not a magician.
If the app is saying "Failed to load : Invalid data", you probably need to grab the latest version on the App Store (iMAL 2.1.5). If it's something else, please fill in a bug report with as much informations as you can.

---

I've been working on a few things lately and I'll try to submit a new version soon.
New features include:

- Tags search:
You can search through your lists tags.
Screenshot Screenshot

- Read-Only Cache:
With the frequent downtimes, I decided to add a simple RO cache.
Your lists are now saved on your phone and can be loaded if the server is unreachable.
This is a read-only cache, meaning that you can't edit local versions of your lists.
I will add the ability to edit your list locally and to sync your changes with the server later.
Screenshot
You can see in the screenshot that the title is red to indicate you're viewing a local version of your list.

- Twitter updates
This is not finished yet, but I'm working on highly configurable twitter updates.

I found a little glitch again. I'm actually surprised to even find this little detail. First off, you go to any anime/manga and then go to "See on MyAnimeList.net". Then go to your multitask and go to another app. Then reopen iMAL. Press "Done", Then try to swipe from the top right of your screen to go to the Edit page. You'll be able to freely move the 2 pages. So instead of letting it move horizontal, it can now also move vertical.

Wow.
I have no idea how that kind of thing can happen...

Are you interested in being some kind of beta tester? You aways seem to find every single bug the app could possibly have so it'd be great if you could take a look at the development versions before they are released on the store :D

Seems like one of my manga can't load. The name is called "E". You can search it up by typing "The Next Generation Of Personal". It can load in the "Search" Tab but not the "My List" Tab. It gets an Error. Does this have to do with the name?

iMK said:

Yes. There is the same problem with the anime called K.
Basically, there is no way to get infos about an anime/manga using its ID in the current API. The only way to get those infos is to use the search feature, and then to compare all the results ID with your anime/manga ID.
For anime/manga with short or really common names like K or E, the search does not return me the right result, so I can't get the infos...

Now that the app can cache anime/manga infos, I'm going to add an option to let the user enter synonyms when this happen, so that the app will be able to load the infos once and will use the cache afterwards.

iMAL 2.2 is ready and will be submitted to the App Store tomorrow, so it should be available in 1-2 weeks.
The main changes of this version are a RO Cache to access your lists even without the internet, tags search and Twitter updates.

Happy holidays everyone!

Kinda out of topic, but I managed to get an iPad mini. xD While iMAL is not available in the app store for iPads, I somehow managed to get the mobile version to my tablet.

iPad can get any iPhone app really. I have a iPad and iPad Mini also. It pretty much just emulates it. The iPad can access the iPhone Appstore but not the other way around.

To everyone experiencing huge load times: turn off "Use unofficial API" in Settings.
It appears the unofficial API is completely down right now.

Also, about the iOS 7 rework, I don't have the time (nor the motivation, to be honest) to work on it for the moment.
I'll keep you updated but I don't think I will work on the app at all for a few months.

How about the ipad? I dont care about that ios 7 stuff since i never did and never will update to it, but it would be great if it was also optimized for the ipad ;)

I don't have an iPad so I won't make an iPad version. I might make one along with the iOS 7 rework if it doesn't add too much work.
iOS 7 is fine, you should give it a try :)

Hey,

I know the app is broken and works randomly.
This is yet again because of Incapsula. You also might experiment captchas when trying to access the website.
There is nothing I can do. MAL's security system basically rejects some of iMAL's (and any other third party app's) requests.

I'll keep you updated.

Edit 04/23: Still nothing new... I'm not gonna bother making a workaround since I would have to submit a new version of the app and that would take weeks.

Edit 04/24: Apparently Xinil has contacted Crave to inform them of the problem, hopefully they will do something soon.

Edit 04/26: The problem has apparently been resolved.

Yes it does.

Here is a (probably non-exhaustive) list of what can happen:
- The list title is red and stays red. (unable to get your list, the local cache is used)
- Error"Could not read list: invalid data" when trying to get your list.
- A long HTML code as an error message on any request to the server.
- Search showing no result for any search.
- "Save all changes" button not showing. (you're in offline mode)
- The details page of an anime/manga shows less informations for a specific anime/manga.
- Anything giving an error when it shouldn't. (unable to update your list, for example)

Yea, I'm experiencing the same issues with iMAL as everyone else, apparently. The "anime" and "manga" headers are red, and it won't allow me to update my list.

The message: "Error: You cannot update your list because it is not up-to-date. Please refresh your list. If the "My Anime/Manga List" text is still red, it means iMAL cannot access your list on the server and is using a local copy." continues to come up, no matter how many times I attempt to refresh. I'm guessing this is all thanks to the security measures that the site has put in place. Not sure.

I'm running iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5.

Guess I'll wait for things to get fixed. =/

Hey! I don't know if this is a bug, or it has something to do with the recent hacking on MyAnimeList, but every time I attempt to change an anime listing or anything on my list through iMAL on my iPhone 5s, running on iOS 7.1, a popup says: "ERROR, <html><head><META NAME="ROBOTS"...followed by a bunch of other random coding. I believe it has something to do with incapsula. Please help! :O

You just wrote a post on iMAL's forum thread.

The app is currently not working for some people because of MAL's security system. Read this post.

It is simply impossible. I have no way to know which video you are watching.
The only way would be to watch the video from iMAL, but that's not the goal of this app.
