As for phase 1 this is actually pretty good. The layout could be a lot cleaner imo. I find it a hassle that i have to read the forums and other articles at the website. Overall it's pretty convenient and I love the list system.

It could be possible that you have been using the version that was removed from the Playstore. I've been using that one too. It was official.

Yeah with some updates to the old app, it would have been perfect. Old app just looks better imo.

I can't describe how long I've been waiting for the app, but when I read that it's for android 8 at least I feel my whole world has been crashed. I don't know if it's hard or not, but please consider adding android 6 in the future

I like that we actually now have an official app. As time goes on, it would be nice to have a UI scaling feature, since for my liking its a bit too big. Also, app optimization is needed to make things load faster. And why does pressing something from the home tab redirect to a browser? It would be nice to integrate that into the app.

The UI is okay, I could live with it. However, one of the unofficial apps (MoeList) has a more sleek look and it's pretty easy to use, so for now I'll stick with the current app I am using. However, when time goes on and when the MAL official app gets better, I'll be glad to move over. But for now, I thank you guys for an official app, and I hope the best for the MAL team!

Right off the bat I think things look great! The one obviously missing feature I noticed is the lack of quick "+" button in the "watching" tab, for anime that are being rewatched. There's a + for the "currently watching" but not the ones that are being rewatched.

I really do like this app, it makes it much easier for me to access my list, instead of pulling up the website. One thing I would really like to be added though would be the time watched tracker. It’s one of my favorite things to do to check how many hours I’ve sunk in.

This app is really good, accidentally found some more anime to watch. Only bad thing is that it's showing news from days ago. Other than that I have no complaints.

GREAT, FINALLY!

Have been using MALClient for months in its imperfection, but it's nice to have an official one after the old one had been withdrawn for years now without proper API.

Most things still have to be accessed on the web for full pages, but this is a step in the right direction for providing recessed content and links to proper pages and such.

Are you still having this problem? If so, could you please message your OS version and device model to the App Support? That's the fastest way for the app team to investigate the problem. Please also mention that you encountered error 400 while logging in.

grin3671 said:
But.. Looks like it's not app, but completely WebView mask. There are no OAuth authorization, but notify about cookies and reCAPTCHA. No smooth UX inherent to native apps. I'm glad to be wrong.
You can be glad because that's not correct. The app is using the API, it accesses your list via OAuth, and plenty of apps use reCAPTCHA but aren't transparent about it. (cc @Jhoanchb)

ShoraGolz said:
Can you add the feature to sort list by score?
Please see #2 in first post.

Shirase-san said:
My advice, which is to be able to see other users profiles in the application, and that's all from me.
Tap your friend's profile picture on the home feed. It should open up their profile :) Just a basic version for now though as we're still adding more.
(cc @Frostyinside @Supercuecaaa)

It took forever to find in the Play Store. I even typed in the actual name of it, but I only found it through a fluke. :/
It can take 24 hours after being approved before it starts appearing properly in search.

StrawHatTitan said:
I would recommend that you guys put a banner on the site about the app because many people don't bother themselves with the news updates and so i think that there are many people who are not yet aware about the app.
Thanks for the suggestion. We're planning on it but wanted to make sure there weren't any unexpected icebergs :')

rafaerux said:
...but maybe it's just the animations that need to be swapped for better ones idk.
You're on point with some of the animations not being intuitive with other apps and that giving it a choppy feeling, I think. I'm hoping we can iron those out in the upcoming weeks but I think it wasn't significant enough to delay launch to fix.

LoneWolf75 said:
I am using iOS 14 and I don't see the manga list only the anime list. I also don't get the dark mode in the setting area. If you could please show us how we can set up the dark mode in the app and how to find the manga list as well.
Please read the first post in this thread.

Acruxx said:
I understand the issue with Hentai (which I agree with), but I find it pretty stupid that Kill la Kill doesn't appear on my list (just one example of a few).
Hmmm... Kill la Kill should still be appearing on your list. I know a few legitimate titles got swallowed by our overhungry NSFW filter but I thought we'd fixed those. If you could please send those titles to App Support, we can get them corrected.

TheExile285 said:

The iPad/tablet usage/requests seems to be really small at the moment, so honestly I can't say it's a super high priority right now. We'll keep reviewing the situation and adjusting our priorities based on demand.

Oh weird. Some of the other peculiar UX things users have mentioned were in my own testing notes, but that completely flew over my head. Thanks for mentioning it.

loud4s said:

I think that's going to be reeeeally difficult for the app because desktop and mobile are very different. For example, how would my anime list look on a mobile phone? Some kind of list customization might be feasible though, we'll need to consider it -- however, I think only after a lot of the browser redirects have been taken care of... (cc @Shishio-kun)

Thanks for replying to our feedback, kineta!
The profiles are actually good, but I still think it'd be better to have a separate friends tab. Some of my friends don't even update their lists anymore and I wanna be able to take a look at their profile every now and then.

Oh this just happened to me; can we tap the episode number too instead of just being able to scroll it?

As an Android 7.1.2 user, I'm honestly surprised since darn near every app I use is compatible with at least Android 5 and newer. Maybe can you expand compatibility on the Android side of things too?

I have an Android 7 phone so no app for me I guess. Why did you people not make it compatible with older versions of Android? You can't tell me that this app required to be made for Android 8 and above, because I don't believe that the app has such revolutionary, never seen before features that warranted that.

All the apps I use work perfectly with my version of Android and they're not stopping support anytime soon. Be it old apps like Google apps or new apps and games like Genshin Impact. By limiting the number of devices compatible with the app you're leaving a significant amount of potential users out.

So the thing about Apple's ToS with the whole NSFW content was bypassed by Manga Rock a couple of years back. All they did was redirect you to their website were you'd just click a button to allow NSFW content to be added to the app, which didn't show it by default.
