Hello there,
I've been using MAL for quite some time now and I'm impressed by the services it has provided over the years.

The new app is a great addition to ease the organization of our respective lists, but I'd prefer if it'd be a little less clustered. Also, an option to vary the grid number or size to be viewed on an entire page would be really appreciated since it makes the UI quite bulky on devices even with default font and display size.

Other than that, I don't think there's any problem in the app itself. I really appreciate the detailed information about the staff and characters, provided just like the official website, all in one place.

If possible, please introduce a bookmark feature (badges) on the corner of the anime cover with different colours of bookmarks for different status.
Eg: Blue for Plan to watch, Green for watching,...etc. on the top or bottom corner of the anime cover.
This would help ease out to differentiate the anime status with a single glance, without double checking.

No complaints so far, just some suggestions that would help improve the user experience.
Keep up the good work.
Thank You.

The only problem is that there are lot's of buttons that open the content on the browser, this sucks, everything should be opened on the app only, the app is at least 70% already done, it has lot's of features that I didn't expect

I'm a android user, I know that the app still being developed, but I will give my review and "bug" reports here.

The tags on my animelist aren't displayed, it seems that I can't mark animes (neither edit) their rewatched number, there's no option to see the season or search for animes in list view mode. I can't add/edit start and finish dates either.

Clicking on the notification that I got a comment on my profile doesn't open the notifications on the app, just opens the app, opening the notifications doesn't show the last notification either, I need to wait or manually update (scroll down) the notification, when the notifications is updated the last notification isn't "auto focused", so I need to scroll up to see the notification

I'm really happy to use the new official app. It seems all good so far, of course, a lot more things need to be added like the three things you mentioned in your post and other features like messages and etc. it'd be great if we could use all the features available on web version on mobile as well!!! and I know you guys must be working on it pretty hard so I can't wait to use it more and for the new features!!

The iOS app seems to work well, I’ll use that from now on.
Suggestion: Please allow to select the section the app starts to, for me personally starting the app in “Currently watching” is more helpful than “Home”.
Thank you!

Everyone's been like 'oh it's finally here and it's great'.... Sure, it's good that it's here, I really look forward how the app will improve over time. But at the moment it can barely do anything. Just the most crucial and basic things. Even if I just want to read an article which is nothing but text, it opens in the browser. So what's the point then? If either way I have to use the browser why would I even want to open the app, it's just an extra step, nothing more. Don't get me wrong, I'll be using it. But now it's quite underwhelming and not very user-friendly. Also, I think the users should be able to decide what they want to see at the bottom. On PC it's fine, there's enough space for everything, but not on a phone. For example I personally don't think 'Seasonal' is all that important. Just like we can edit our main panel in the browser, this would also be great. So keep up the good work guys, I think everyone wants this to be a great and feature packed app. To be honest I'm pretty hyped for this :P

Great, because I refuse to upgrade my iPhone 6, which has been with me for more than 3 years, just to use the MAL app.

It's pretty much the same in the browser version(as of now) but I'm still hype up on the upcoming updates. It's great that mal has its own app. Yes! finally a dark theme version!

Just downloaded the app (Android ver.) and it looks pretty good. Can't wait for the Manga/Manga list to be added! That's probably my most anticipated thing for the second phase (update) of the application.

And it would be also nice if I had the option to change the font size of the app since it's a little bit too big for my liking. But that's just me nitpicking minor stuff.

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. :/

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. Looking forward to getting a manga section soon.

The ui looks good and appears to have been well thought, it's just that some elements don't feel as polished as in the old one imo.
Also, the app is super laggy on my Samsung S8. Scrolling is sluggish and stuttters a lot and the way it loads menus just makes it feel slow, but maybe it's just the animations that need to be swapped for better ones idk.

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.

Also I'm not getting the list of manga/anime's that show up on my list from the website in the app (meaning the last manga/anime read/watch showing up on my app).

In my opinion Manga List should be #1 in priority in those upcoming features. Other than that thank you for the app! It's awesome.

Oh thank you.
On top of manga list and list sorting/filtering, as long as it gets in-app forums/articles/reviews, character/user search and profile descriptions/comments I don't really need anything else.
Also I think it's better to remove the + button and make status edits right on page, there's not much info anyway and a separate menu is kind of annoying.

So no one seems to complain about anime with NSFW content not showing up... I'd like to see my list entirely, regardless of its content. 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). I'm an Android user by the way.

I guess I can't use it (Android 7), but well as long as the website is running I'm still good. I hope you guys can fix the problems with the app, hope you the best at adding more features to it. 👍
