| 2023-11-22 |  | | This app use to be pretty good, but an update a few months ago completely ruined it. First of all, the update deleted all of my progress on the shows I was watching. Second, they removed a lot of there shows and the some of the surviving shows have episodes missing. Lastly, 4:3 shows are permanently zoomed in, cutting off content and making some shows with baked in subtitles impossible to enjoy. I've also heard that from other reviewers that their memberships disappeared with this new update. |
| 2023-08-28 |  | | Great selection on here! This app has been the only place I've been able to find certain retro animes to stream in high quality! However, I'm only giving 2 stars cause the functionality of the app itself needs A LOT of work. It doesn't autoplay the next ep of whatever I'm watching, and it's crashed on me a bunch and kicked me out in the middle of an episode for no clear reason. With this latest update it also gives me no option to view a series detail page to select the episode I want to watch |
| 2023-06-04 |  | | The update from this streaming service made it unbearable. At first, i had to change a new password due to password limitations, which is fair. But secondly, it erased my progress of shows ive watched previously. Some shows has been removed which is a common occurrence on streaming services due to licensing and etc. But what really annoyed me is it doesn't even saveed progress on certain devices. Both my fire tv and chromcast doesnt keep it, but watching on mobile does. This such a downgrade. |
| 2023-04-01 |  | | Still a great app and service. As of right now (4/1/23) most the shows appear to be missing at first glance but if you actually go to the search bar and search individually a-z you can find everything still. Otherwise not everything shows up in their subsections. Sucks you have to use that work around but they did just update it and I believe they are working on it and the shows are still all there as far as I can tell so no harm no foul. |
| 2023-03-21 |  | | It's been over a week now, and the new updates have not only removed a ton of shows, but somehow, my subscription has been screwed up and I can no longer watch any premium content. What's worse is that I purchased the annual subscription. It wouldn't bother me too much if I paid for monthly, but it's been a few days and not only did I lose my favorites, but everything else in my watchlist is now gone. |
| 2022-10-28 |  | | Edit: To be fair I am updating my review, but leaving the original following as reference. They did finally get in touch with me and provide a refund. They took full responsibility for the delay and apologized. Original 1* review: What a scam. I cancelled during the "free trial" and my account was deleted, can't even log in. I was still charged for a full year. I was charged fifty dollars for something I never saw and can't access at all. They won't respond to any kind of contact either. |
| 2022-08-12 |  | | Its a really great idea for an anime streaming app. The app runs smoothly well, but it is hard to navigate through. There are a lot of good anime shows on there, but the current library, as well as options are a little underwhelming. For example, there is not a lot of popular 80s/90s classics such as dragon ball, sailor moon, ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, etc. There doesn't seem to be any indication that the show is English dubbed or subbed, no option to switch versions, such as astro boy 1980 to sub. |
| 2022-01-04 |  | | Wanted to find an app that I could watch anime for some time now, without having to buffer so much. (Because of a ton of ads from other websites, or just sucky internet.) Despite there being quite a bit of new stuff I have to get used to, this really helps me with expanding on other genres I may not have seen before. Feels like Netflix, just free! |
| 2021-12-15 |  | | Retrocrush has great shows, but ultimately is ruined by a buggy video player that randomly resets shows to the very beginning. The app is also too sensitive and too quick to switch from landscape to portrait mode and these transition seem to trigger video resets the most. RetroCrush's video player has to be worst one out of ALL subscriptions services. Luckily I was on a free 1 month trial. I'll not be paying for any continued service afterwards if they don't fix the video player. |
| 2021-06-25 |  | | There are some really strange design decisions with the video player, lack of settings, and features that would be great if they were here but aren't. There's also a lack of polish. I know many old anime were made in lower resolutions (ex: 480p), but I at least didn't expect piracy site levels of low bitrate. Although, the service IS free at the end of the day, so I'm not gonna be any more picky. Ads are rare as well, I expected a loooot of ads, but no! |
