Well I think an app will be more convenient than a website. What do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that it will get one in late 2020 or early 2021.

I personally won't use it.

you mean to say that there is an official MAL app on the Android store? I tried to find it but couldn't.

The MAL Client app didn't work for me when I tried like 3 months ago. Something about my account not syncing.

Just join the club to receive updates, the question is not if MAL will receive an official, but when it's released. Guess what the new API is for ...

MAL works fine on mobile browsers imo. Guess I'm not zoomer enough.

Well, I have a desktop so I doubt I'd use it if one ever came out; but I can see the demand for one. Using browser sites on a phone or tablet is pretty inconvenient!

Since I'm using mobile only for music and when I'm not near my computer and my only applications are default ones and one for video watching (default video one is terrible). I say its useless to have application if you can visit website. I would agree only if it would be possible to check your animelist offline. Otherwise dektop browser is enough no need to clone it for application.

There was an official app before but now, there isn't on Play Store anymore. But you can download it on internet. It only works with anime not the manga.

Such an ignorant thread. Sad how so many of you don't know.
... Couldn't find the official thread board but we'll get a new one this year.

No. MAL will probably crash even more if they try and sync the web interface with the mobile one.

All we need is more filthy casuals casually spreading their casual opinions casually while casually commuting on their casual communal transport.

Also tiny screens are abhorrent. If I have to do something on the go I take my laptop with me.

I go on Google chrome and click "Desktop Site" whenever I'm on Mal (original website) from my phone, so this gives me a tiny mobile MAL

There was once an official MAL app on Play Store, but it was removed for some reason. Now the only decent option we have is MALClient

I do most of my mobile internet business through the browser so I wouldn't download the app even if it came out.

It was on closed beta three years ago, but I don't know what happened to it. But I heard that it's still in development, so if it gets released, I'll use it.
