| Following our early testing on iOS (which had some hiccups), I am happy to announce that our official apps are now available on both Android & iOS! But wait! Before you rush to download them, I'd like to explain a few things in advance...
Now that the details are out of the way... Let's get the app!   Update December 2 The iOS app has been updated and will now work for iOS 12+! If you were waiting for this release, please check it out~ Update February 27 Dark mode has been added to both iOS and Android versions! To enable it, please enable dark theme on your device settings. |

| Lol, I'm stuck on Android 7 so I will continue to use web ver. Upd2. Due to high demand, I hope devs team will consider adding support the lesser versions of Android someday. 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. I'm glad. I hope this app will have a great future. Since I'm not good at English, I just quote a user with I fully agree. marcospampixxx said: Well... I must be clear, you're wasting resources and time. I am a full stack developer and I know when an application is made using Ionic or any webview wrapper, and I find this wrong in 2020. The reason I think so is due to Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) being way more flexible and convenient: 1. PWAs must be single page web apps. 2. PWAs can be installed by the browser, they can work offline so. 3. PWAs do have enough freedom. 4. One codebase for all, no filthy fees over stores, instantly updated. While I've been objective untill now, personally, I'm upset with apps being just webviews, they usually take more space, and are slow as hell on older devices.. I hope these words may interests MAL's devs. |

| Just tried the android app. Looks good but takes a few more seconds to get the data. Especially love the addition of statistics in the anime page. |
| Thanks! This app is very nice looking and helpful. I am a big fan of the home page and the updates it has ^^ |
 Even if helping people is easy, asking for help is a hurdle of it's own. Kaoru Gojou |
| The long awaited app is finally here -,- I really like the app interface...but it works kinda slow. I'm not sure if it's because of my internet connection or smth else |

| Hopefully we can get forums in the app without redirecting out of the app and into safari (for ios) Having the app as a true replacement for the mobile web version would be a blessing The UI looks great and the app looks sleek and new! |
Kushal2021 said: same, atleast take it down one more version. There are a lot of improvements (include security) in Android API that devs may like use in app. Don't blame them. |
| Thank you!!! Lovin the app so far |
   |
| Pretty nice to have it after the delay, already having issues with it but im sure all will be resolved in time. |
 |
Finally |

| MAL delivering? what year is this? 2020 being more weird /s |
| I Agree, it would be great if there was a dark mode. My advice, which is to be able to see other users profiles in the application, and that's all from me. I am using the ios version, btw |

| Yay!! I like the title page design!! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Looks good so far. Looking forward to the dark mode and the other functions yet to come. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| YESS ITS hERe I hope they get dark mode soon |
 |
| Nice!! |
 |
| Wow nice thou I think I'll keep using the web version cause I'm quite attached to it. |
 |
| nice app, kinda slow but hope it gets faster in next update. also a tab for "friends" would be appreciated and something like friends activity. but still a cool app. |
 |
| Thx God i can just download the app via google play, n don't need to install it via apk 😆 But i most probably will never use the app until it has the same or more capabilites than the web version... 😋 |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| Somebody post a direct apk download link. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| Will you guys make available the apk too or on Huawei app gallery ? Some people don't have Google play 😶 |
 |
| Very good app so far. It's a bit buggy sometimes, but it's understandable. I've only been using it for a couple minutes but here are the most important things that I feel are missing : .the ability to click on a show's poster and see it fullscreen(the images could be higher res too) .being able to search your list .We need an in app browser or have the news feature, the episode discussions feature and all features that take you to your browser Integrated with the app (don't know if that's possible but that would be nice) A in app browser would do it honestly - don't wanna get taken out to my web browser everytime I click on a news or when i want to discuss an episode. It'd be nice to have an option to filter the news/stats/articles with read and unread so I can choose weather I want to see everything or if I just want to see unread stuff . And finally, but one of the most important things for me is i want to see a forums section. I spend a lot of time on forums, sometimes just scrolling through, others I engage with posts, point being is i really like to spend time on these forums. All of them, the general anime and manga forums and the specific discussion for a series ones(i forget what it's called). But yeah super important future that is missing. All in all it's a great app so far, but it has the potential to be much better. Also now that I'm thinking about it maybe your profile should be the home screen and the current home screen should be moved to where the profile is now. another user commented below about an option to choose the starting home screen. This would be good. Better than forcibly changing the home screen to your profile That's it for me for now, I'll post new replies as time goes on. Peace🔥 |

| Even though the app is just official, it already has great features and it's easier to fill in the anime list! Arigatou Gozaimasu 🙏 |
| Thank you, it is a big step forward! |
