Funimation for Negative User Reviews

Terrible customer serviceFunimation is a decent app for a decent price. It allows you to watch some anime, with some convenience, and is really cheap. However, if your looking for quality content backed by a company that actually cares, then look elsewhere. Upon getting my account hacked, and email/password switched, Funimation had zero customer support in locating my account. They failed to find my account via email address, account name, credit card, or any other means that would normally locate ones account. They instead shifted all responsibilities and to blame a third-party payment system, insisting that they could only help if you used a credit card instead of the Apple payments. As petty as it may seem, I was robbed out of my billing cycle payments, forced to create a new account, loosing all data and history associated with Funimation. It isn’t worth investing hours of your life into an app that cannot securely safeguard your account, nor keep records on file regarding your account details, and insisting that you should start a new subscription and refresh all your account preferences including the lists of content you intended to watch. After reattempting this service, I found I was getting ads on multiple episodes for multiple different shows. Upon contacting customer support, they simply said they were looking into the issue and never came up with a solution..Version: 2.6.0

Ads don’t playHi, I just got Funimation and am using a free account. I’m on an iPhone 12, and I noticed that sometimes, during an ad break, the screen just turns black and doesn’t play any ads. Currently trying to watch Demon Slayer, and I keep backing out of the episode to try and fix it, only for it to keep playing like 20 seconds before the ad break, and then the ads don’t play again (making it effectively stuck not playing the rest of the episode). My internet is good and this phone is still pretty new, so I don’t think it’s a problem with anything on my side of things. Please fix this, because I really wanna watch stuff but it just won’t let me. Thank you! Edit: I reopened the app and it worked, but happened again during the next ad break. This time reopening the app didn’t solve it, so it’s been a hassle to just watch one episode. 😔.Version: 2.5.0

My experience so farAwhile back now when my friend came over he got me into watching attack on Titan as the first season was on Netflix after that I had been trying to find somewhere I could watch it english dubbed and eventually I came across this app, was rather simple just installed and signed up and began watching at first it was all fine but I began to notice every single episode had 3 ad breaks one at the beginning (single ad) a second less than a few minutes in (six ads in one) and one about halfway through where the episode would usually pause (another six ads in one) The ad at the beginning makes no sense to why is there as you just get to watch the intro then BOOM more ads and it’s rather annoying how I have to sit through watching 6 total ads per ad break.Version: 2.6.0

Disgusting, do not download!So recently I wanted to watch some anime,created my account no issues there, it kicked me out but I didn’t mind but when I went back to the app and watch anime didn’t let me! It said only for premium and I didn’t want to pay to watch anime and I used to have the app and I knew I didn’t need to pay to watch these anime’s (only deleted because it wasted my gb and I only used it for one week) so I deleted it, annoyed I had to pay.Version: 2.6.4

This truly hurts to writeI love Funimation, and I don’t just mean this app. This app has possibly the best selection of anime outside of finding it illegally online, but it doesn’t matter how great or how many shows you have if you can’t watch them. I always just assumed that I (along with every other person writing bad reviews) just had crappy phones or bad WiFi, but I now have the iPhone 13 with the fastest internet speeds you can get, due to working from home, and I STILL get MAYBE 3 episodes into something before this app refuses to play the next episode. The crazy part is, I’ll go try to play another show and that will play no problem and I’ll try to go back to the episode that I was trying to watch in the first place and it still won’t load. Whenever I read reviews, I always think to myself that the people writing them had ONE bad experience and now they just want to complain, but I have been paying for Funimation for YEARS now, and I can honestly say, this is an everyday thing. Every time this app has an update, I get so excited thinking that just maybe, this is the one that fixes the streaming issues, but it still hasn’t happened. Please Funimation, I am begging you while literally throwing money at you every month, PLEASE fix these streaming issues.. I’m not going to continue paying for something I can’t use, that’s why I left my ex..Version: 2.5.1

GarbageFunimation has been so unbelievably frustrating. For a number of months my account broke and just went to a white screen which also prevented me from being able to unsubscribe. It took them 3 months of emails to finally get them to stop stealing my money. After every video it also un-full screens which is really annoying. There are several shows on the site that used to be there but I guess they lost the rights to or something because they now show 0 seasons but keep the shows up to make their library look bigger than it really is. I switched to AnimeLab which was so much better but they bought it and then buried it and forced everyone over to their garbage site again..Version: 2.3.2

Not worth itThis is is good for watching anime and there tons of good animes but the ads are the biggest problem…so I wanted to watch attack on Titan but first you have to watch 3 ads that are 30 seconds long I don’t know why that’s necessary because most of the ads are Japanese ads and promote Japanese items that you can’t get with US dollars but anyway I watched the 3 ads and the episode was still in Japanese language so I went to the settings at the top of the screen to change it to English dubbed but when I closed settings I had to watch another 3 ads. It’s really frustrating and puts me off watching whatever I’m watching. Please change this funamation.Version: 2.6.0

CASH GRABStarting with the positive, they have every episode of dragon ball from when Goku was a tiny boy to Goku fighting Golden Frieza... aside from that, All these ppl care about is your money here. Almost EVERYTHING requires you subscribe. YOU CANT EVEN WATCH SUBBED WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING!! You can’t watch a full season of ANY anime without needing to subscribe, at least not the ones I’ve tried. There are better anime apps, only tried this out bc the app I love to use isn’t on my new tv. Safe to say Among the popular anime apps, this app is the worst of the worst, lowest of the low, greediest, bottom feeder of them all. Devs, please get a job outside of this, then come back to this app and do it right. Thank you … UPDATE: been on premium for awhile, love the extensive library, SERVICE IS AWFUL, dragon ball literally buffers ALWAYS. Can’t watch a full episode without buffering. ON ANY QUALITY EVEN THE LOWEST like wow… I love the selection but I’m ready to just buy the dvds of the anime’s I want to watch. This is awful. Wish they’d fix it but I’m not hopeful. Gonna lose me very soon. I literally get logged out after buffering too.Version: 2.3.1

Great titles if you can get the app to work or titles to pull upVery good shows when you can access them and that is the problem. You can find a show and then the next minute it doesn’t exist. Then you find a show that has no episodes but a few hours later they have episodes for it. This is even if you can get on the app at all. For something you pay for not worth the money for the poor user experience you get but when it works it is worth it. Not only the above mentioned things but sometimes it bugs out and freezes in the episode. I can go from my living room to my bedroom to continue a show and it doesn’t work at all when it was just working fine and not to mention I pay for this and the app no longer works for me at any point. The only reason I keep this is because it does have the most dubbed and what I prefer to watch anime on unlike cruchyroll who is mainly in original languages and that is fine for those that like that kind of thing but I don’t like reading when watching something. If it wasn’t for the dubbed content I would cancel this and watch for free on gogo anime.Version: 2.5.1

Quite a bad selection!I’m not trying to be a big hater but. Funimation dose not have a great selection of anime to watch. No Pokemon no yuigioh no digimon no dragon ball/ dragon ball z / dragon ball super and so much more. But there are way to much ads too! Four ads while trying to watch anime? Way to much ads in my opinion. But also you have Crunchyroll which is so so much better. It has a great selection of anime. It has less ads. This could be so much better if funimation put on a few kids shows that would be a bit fair in my opinion. But it’s an okay anime service could be better..Version: 2.1.0

Hard to useChrome cast and appleTV integrations are pretty bad. Doesn’t auto play at all. No skip intro. Account tab has no functionality. Terrible accessibility. Some things change but not the things that matter. Like the title name and etc when viewing a list. My anime tab doesn’t make sense why is it called a queue? It doesn’t auto play?!? Its a watch list. The worst thing is navigation, to go back on a page you have to press the x in the top right. Literally the furthest thing away for usability. No swipe back. The queue Icon when looking at a title is a circle with a horizontal line? Doesn’t make sense not intuitive..Version: 2.1.0

Slow, buggy and not user friendly.Where to start… The app is super slow, sometimes taking over two to three seconds for pages to load. There is no way to just view the entire library without scrolling to the bottom of the home page. You can’t re-order your queue or remove things from watched through the iOS app, you have to log into the website. The Apple TV app is also just as buggy and sometimes will not allow you to watch shows without you having to uninstall and re-download the app (this is an actual “workaround” provided by their support team…). To go from the AnimeLab app to this is such a downgrade it’s not even funny. I’ll continue to subscribe and use the apps, but only because there is no other option..Version: 2.2.2

Such a shameI signed up to this streaming service as it had most of the anime I wanted to watch and it was cheaper then others of the same type. If I had known how useless the site and app are I might have reconsided. The app constantly doesn't show what I have been watching and will load up a previous episode or nothing at all. Trying to add new shows to the que never works and says about trying again later which is very frustrating. Between the app on my tablet, the app on my smart TV and the website I use the when the app won't work it's all frustrating. Once my year subscription is up if the same problems persist I will not be renewing..Version: 2.6.0

I mean I guess?This app was really good at first because I wanted to watch mha for free somewhere but when I got to a certain episode I had to pay £5.99 a month even though it said in the ad ‘watch for free’ I don’t want to spit out bad things about this app because I want to be fair the quality was really good and the sound was clear but every time it stopped for ads I would have to sit through six 30 second ads just for there to be more. at the start there’s 1 ad and at the yellow marks there are multiple which really annoyed me. Every time I turned my phone off and went back to the episode I had to watch more ads and then only a minute later the yellow mark would appear. Apart from that this app was really good and I do recommend..Version: 2.6.4

Improvement is needed.Compared to Animelab, Funimation doesn’t come close. First of all, the subtitle issue. Why make it so you have to enable them for every single episode? It’s redundant and irritated. There are so many things that can be improved upon, the ability to skip intro and outro would be a good start and possibly adding separate profiles. My partner and I both use my account, making it annoying to sift through both our shows to find what I want to watch. The “queue” is another annoying function that does not work correctly. I can’t see over half of what is in my list. I much prefer Animelabs. Overall, it’s okay however there are many more things that need to be fixed and things that need to be straight up changed or removed..Version: 2.5.0

Barely functional appI struggle to select the videos I'd like to watch, the layout makes it so difficult to maneuver. Mature settings I can't change except go to Funimation website which defeats the whole point of the option even being there. What casting can't switch between languages, even when I changed my prefer or when I'd watch it on my phone in the preferred language the video just uses whatever is the default for the video whether it would be Japanese or English dubbed. Can't even access my animelab account which was transferred over due to my password not being up to standard but they won't let me change my password. I can't believe this is being advertised as an app and it makes money when it doesn't or barely works..Version: 2.5.1

Premium/Customer serviceI got premium at the start of January and even though I’d payed for it the premium never went on, I emailed customer service and they have been saying this is being investigated for over a month despite me sending in multiple forms of proof including statements and proof of the app itself, reply’s are incredibly slow up to a week and a half later for reply’s which in turn I know the company will be very busy however waiting over a month for a solution which now my subscription has ended and still not seeing any progress or updates on the situation is very frustrating when all I wanna do is watch my favourite shows add free.Version: 2.5.1

SMHWhy does the app keep crashing sometimes it just won’t load when it does it takes like 10 years I have a premium subscription so I use it on my phone and my Xbox the app crashes or sometimes doesn’t load and this happens a lot to me please fix it.Version: 2.2.2

What was even the pointFunimation acquired AnimeLab, a service which wasn’t perfect but had one of the best selections of shows, and also had dubs. Then they got acquired by Funimation, a service that had a similar selection (albeit likely with the acquired rights), but an absolutely horrendous set of apps that could just barely play the content, let alone do anything else useful. And now they’re folded into Crunchyroll, a platform with admittedly much better technological side but a way smaller selection and most of it with subtitles only. I’m sure the content will eventually migrate, but it has been about a year of inconsistent offering and abysmal user experience. If you can’t give an experience that’s better than what you’re acquiring, can you please just leave it alone?.Version: 2.6.0

It’s not that bad of an app but…I enjoy Funimation and it’s wide variety of anime although there are a few problems. First of all I don’t see a casting button on the new version of the app. I remember seeing one previously so it’s quite annoying that I can’t find it anymore in the newer version of the app. Another problem is the ads. I understand you need to make money but the ads don’t stay consistent. Whenever you try to watch an anime normally you get one ad before you begin to watch although sometimes you’ll get all five. And although it’s bothersome to sit through five ads that is not really a problem for me. One of my biggest problems is when I’m trying to watch this one dubbed anime (My Roommate is a Cat) the subtitles are turned on. I’m not a big fan of unnecessary subtitles so I turn them off but then I have to watch another five ads after turning off the subtitles. And every single time I stop watching and go back to that anime the subtitles are turned back on. I hope you can fix this issue or make the ads less. Because it is very bothersome to sit through five ads back to back just because I don’t want to watch an anime that I can understand the language of (English) with subtitles that the app puts on the show manually. Thank you for reading this and have a lovely day/night..Version: 2.4.0

Meh and meh-erIf there was anything beyond a homepage it could be pretty decent. You want to search for your favourite anime? Well hold your horses because you aren’t even able to. If you go off the app and then back on to resume where you left off (we’ll get to that) then forget it yet again, you’ll have to completely restart the app and have to wait. Ah another thing, there’s no mini player? Maybe that’s strictly iOS I’m not sure, but I can use Netflix and crunchyroll… hell even Zoro, all of these will let me close out the app to reply to a message but will let me continue watching as I’m typing a message. When the search feature did actually work it was terrible, absolutely zero refinement to it at all. Very lazily done app, worse servers. Your best bet here is to use Zoro or something to find other things or just use crunchyroll which has most of the same catalog of anime with a couple of stupid differences. Crunchyroll app is easy 4 stars, super user friendly, if I wanna reply to a message while keeping my eye on an episode I’m watching I can do that, if I wanna search I can do that, if I wanna filter results and filter through genres it’s easy. I thought these two were part of the same company so how can one be so outright stinky and one be good?? Doesn’t make sense to me. Did you lot stop investing any time and money into Funimation?? Cause it’s such a terrible app, I wouldn’t waste your time..Version: 2.6.6

Login/Account IssuesI’ve downloaded Funimation and signed into my old account on my phone and was annoyed because all my previous shows from AnimeLab weren’t saved and it has been a while since I’ve signed into AnimeLab so when I came back I found they have merged with Funimation. I tried signing in on my laptop twice and it keeps saying my old password is not strong enough and sends me an email to reset my password. Both times I tried resetting the password like it’s asked it said there was trouble resetting and to try again later. I’ve tried a few more times after that and got the same message. I could use the app on my phone but half the shows I want to watch I have to buy premium which I don’t have money for. Missing AnimeLab right now..Version: 2.5.1

FunimationReally need to update the chromecast version of this app because it doesnt have a auto (next) episodes, and is just overall confusing to use.Version: 2.5.1

It’s nice but it can be awfulFunimation is good but there are a stupid amount of problems for example I have a premium plus account but I have gotten ads idk if funimation is being a scummy corporation or being incredibly incompetent and they don’t get many episodes out for shows like that time I was reincarnated as a smilie idk what goes on behind the scenes so it might be that it just takes them a longer time then other streaming sites.Version: 2.2.2

I wouldn’t waste a penny…If you want a subscription purchase Crunchyroll, it’s the same company but doesn’t have 10 ads every episode and doesn’t glitch out. This app also has low quality thumbnails, doesn’t have the 10 seconds skip feature and is very buggy.Version: 2.3.2

Quality is poorI don’t know why this app has such poor quality. Every episode I start to watch looks like it’s been recorded in the 1990’s. It’s so low res, even on the highest quality settings. Sometimes it it takes a good minute or so before it comes into focus and as a premium member, I find it pretty shoddy that I get this service. Crunchyroll has high definition videos from the get go, so why can’t Funimation? My heart sinks every season when I see animes I want to watch will be on Funimation and not Crunchyroll..Version: 2.5.1

Only for premium accountsI tried this app before and it only works for premium meaning i have to pay to watch anime, get a grip people. crunchyroll is better.Version: 2.6.8

Ad watching simulator. Broken app.TL;DR AVOID THIS APP IF POSSIBLE. It has way too many errors that make you to be unable to watch the shows you want to watch while spamming you with ads. I have been using this app for less than a week and I have already encountered continual errors. First of all, there are a lot of ads if you do not have a subscription. This would be perfectly fine if it wasn’t for the fact that the app frequently gets stuck while loading the ads, forcing you to reset the app and watch the ads all over again. It is not a WiFi or connection issue. If the ads load properly, you watch about 6.5 minutes to 8 minutes of ads per episode, but if the apps don’t load properly you could end up watching up to 15.5 minutes of ads or possibly even more. That’s right. If the app malfunctions hard enough, you could spend more time watching ads than the episodes themselves. Also, I have gotten errors that have prevented me from watching anything in the app at all. One type of error has seemed to happen for no reason. Other times, I have gotten an error message saying that I can only watch on one device with a free account even though I had logged out on the other device over 30 minutes ago. Terrible, horrible app. I will try to find other methods of watching the shows I want to watch..Version: 2.2.2

A fallen beaconI’ve had Funimation for a few years now and have loved using their services as they offered higher quality videos, better audio quality and a superior selection of anime than their competitors at Crunchyroll. However, they pretty much sold themselves out to crunchyroll for an easy extra dollar. Their app on all platforms has become unreliable as it struggles to load the anime you want to watch. The visuals can take several minutes to fully load in and while you wait for it to load, it continues to play in the background with zero response to any button presses. It won’t pause, rewind, fast forward, it won’t even respond to me trying to close the app. It cause both my iPhone and Roku TV to crash regularly for zero reason. Further more, they’ve introduced ads promoting Crunchyroll, even on the Premium accounts, which they advertise as “Ad Free” by the way. All in all, Funimation has become a joke of a streaming service and an unreliable supplier of legally obtained dubbed anime tv series and movies. They are sellouts and aiding Crunchyroll with creating a monopoly over the American anime market..Version: 2.6.2

App not workingI can’t do a password reset won’t let me in email can’t log in and it’s renew my subscription without me ever using it what do I dooo hellp me.Version: 2.6.8

Six ads minimum per episodeReplacing Anime lab- god bless, and crunchyroll this app is a letdown. The fact that you can use your log in details from the latter to sign in is nice- but they don’t keep anything along the lines of (progress- you have to manually start where you were up to in an anime from previous apps) (Favourites list/Starred)… The graphics are a huge letdown, firstly seen in the 6 second long app intro scene where an animation plays out- the thumbnails and text all through the apps HUD is pixelated. The texts are all packed in together. Im not aware as to why the replacement of crunchy and animelab has occurred- wether they were owned by the same people and this is a merge or new ownership has occurred ect… This is a major letdown.. Have fun scrolling through hundreds of episodes to find your place one piece fans...Version: 2.2.1

Hate itI’ve been looking everywhere for a free app or website to watch demon slayer tho this one was in fact free it only showed season one and I could watch the episode I wanted because before I could even watch it I would get and add and it would kick me out I don’t recommend.Version: 2.6.8

I’ll pass…The only thing stopping me from giving it a 1 star is that it has the original dragon ball Nothing else Just dragon ball Other than that it’s utter garbage.Version: 2.2.1

BugEvery old anime like one piece just keep crashing.Version: 2.6.6

Terrible, No Good, Very BadFirst of all the subtitles for your Nintendo switch app is all the way off the screen so you can’t even read it. Secondly every time I try to watch a video on your web browser it says “video is not found.” Thirdly your phone app crashes just while you’re trying to put shows on my watch list (then again so does your Nintendo switch app). Every app you have no matter what device is extremely laggy. Fourth I pay for premium plus and I’m still getting ads, I don’t care how short it is if I’m paying for no ads I should get no ads. And the fact you bombard ad payers with 20 ads within a minute in of a series is ridiculous. Fifth this is a pathetic excuse for an app I honestly cringed when I found out you bought crunchyroll. I sincerely hope you do not ruin crunchyroll the same way you’ve handled your mediocre app. Do us all a favor and continue moving all the shows to the crunchyroll app and completely remove the funimation app from the App Store. And don’t you dare change a thing to crunchyroll besides adding new shows. The apps are perfect as is..Version: 2.6.0

I am having problemsDear developers I would like to say that your app Funimation has not been working for me every time I try to use this app it says Funimation is not supported by this territory or something like that but all I ask is please fix this problem for me because I would really love to use this app I have not yet been able to use it and I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app it has not worked so please reply as fast as you can because I am not able to enjoy this app and I’m writing this review without me even being able to use the app I have been waiting patiently but still haven’t been able to use it so please I am waiting for your reply.Version: 2.6.4

Ngl, horribleI couldn’t understand the bad ratings because I always thought since this is a very big company. But, as soon as I got the app, I realized the reason why there are such bad reviews. There are absolutely no anime available. Every anime I click, it says you need premium. Wayyyyy too many that need premium. I could understand if they were popular animes, such as demon slayer or attack on titan, but it’s every single one. The few animes that I could find and watch, gave me 2 ads in the beginning and after 7 minutes gave me 6 ads, each 30 second long, and once I reached the middle mark gave me another 6 ads each 30 second long again, and then there and there is mark a few minutes before the end, which also has 6 ads each 30 seconds long…it’s not worth it. That’s 20 ads in one episode. I deleted this after the 2nd episode. I couldn’t take it. Also if I were to leave the episode by accident or smth, I would have to rewatch all ads that I just watched..Version: 2.6.6

Can’t reset password, but yet password was allowed in the first place.I created an account with these guys, input a password with no capitals, then watched Tokyo Ghoul. All fine for the first episode, then went to watch the second and it told me I needed to change my “Explicit content filter” in settings. Turns out you can’t do that in the app, you need to go to your internet browser. I go and see what was wrong with the password, and it didn’t contain a capital, however they let me use that password TO BEGIN WITH!? So ok… I go to change the password to something that complies and press change password once I have something that works, only for an error message to pop up and basically say “Password could not be changed at this time, try again later”… WHY??? Ok so I wait and try it all again. Same thing happens… clear my history, my cookies, my cache, everything and wait and try it again… STILL THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE. Go online to troubleshoot, seems like this is a massive recurring theme and people get this a lot. No fix for it, or at least no easy or consistent way to fix it. And so simply will not touch this app with a 20ft pole until they spend some time and money fixing this application before I consider resubscribing, if you pay for it, it should work…..Version: 2.5.1

Honestly AwfulTrying to relax in bed and watch some anime but the Chromecast function is absolutely terrible and i can’t change the language after trying multiple times, the app doesn’t follow along with the anime so whenever i click back on the app it takes the time back to where i synced it first....this app needs some serious work Funimation..Version: 2.5.1

Full screenDoes anybody know how to watch full screen on iphone, the side black edges are really waste of space.Version: 2.6.8

App reviewClunky and dysfunctional missing many features that quite frankly are industry standard, horrible at remembering what you are doing and honestly a pain to use. Having switched from anime lab that was run by a small team to this is just ridiculous seeing as you are an international company. You really need to sort yourselves out from the app not remembering you were watching a video to the laggy interface it’s disappointing. Get a skip intro and outro button, fix your apps history issues and maybe have a graphic designer do some work on that pretty unappealing UI. Not to mention you ask us to subscribe then want us to pay to buy some shows? Get with the times or you’ll continue to loose the loyal subs from anime lab to Netflix..Version: 2.2.1

Great when it works and not just buffering…As per the title, you can already guess where this is going. I think I’ve spent more time buffering and waiting for videos to start rather than actually watching them. The app structure, UI, layout, etc is all designed really well. However, streaming to the iPad has increasingly become useless across both 4g and 5g connections. I’ve tried both repeatedly, in the same room as the modem as well. I don’t know what’s happened to the servers, it does seem like this issue has only gotten worse and worse. Perhaps it may have something to do with the news about Funimation and Crunchyroll? Whatever it is… please fix it. I I know it’s not my connection, as all other streaming apps work perfectly by comparison, even at full resolution streaming. Or if there’s a way to clear the cache or refresh other flushing functionality to get this app working properly again. Thanks.Version: 2.6.2

Wouldn’t say it’s the worst but,Funimation, you are so petty. I’m watching demon slayer, and the entertainment district arc has tons of episodes now (up to ep8), but episode 4 is still premium and has been for at least a month. I understand making it premium for about a week after release or until another episode is made but this is too far. There is a reason why most of the reviews are one star. You are disrespecting your customers that watch with ads and without premium by doing this, and making us sit through at least like 12 ads (in the beginning alone) just to watch one episode..Version: 2.5.1

Good but needs improvementOverall, I like the layout of the app, and it works great when I have a good WiFi connection. My problems with Funimation are 1) why are there no profiles? If multiple people can be streaming at one time, why can’t there be multiple profiles, so everyone can have their own Queue AND keep track of what episode they are on? My brother and I have two very different tastes in Anime, and it would be nice to have my own profile with just the shows I want to watch. It would also be nice, because on the slim chance that we both want to watch the same show, I would like to be able to keep track of where I am at, instead of constantly being shown what episode my brother is on (because he watches more per day than me.) 2) I don’t understand why they don’t have a remote log out option. I feel like that would be the first thing a streaming service would make, incase an account got hacked, someone went on vacation or sold Xbox/PS/Etc and forgot to log out. Instead, I have to cancel my subscription, get a new email, and re-subscribe. Every other streaming service I have/have used, have both of these services (profiles and remote log out), so I don’t understand why Funimation is being lazy and not providing its subscribers, aka THE PEOPLE GIVING THEM MONEY, with these (obviously user friendly) services. It makes no sense to me. If Funimation had these, I’d give it 7 starts out of 5, instead of 2..Version: 2.4.0

Newest update is a scamFor anyone who pays their subscription through their phone do not, I reappear DO NOT update the app. It will no longer allow me to log in using my Apple ID and my subscription payment has now been wasted. If they don’t fix this I’ll be permanently unsubscribing too. Shameful and pathetic.Version: 2.6.9

Money grubbersYou added ADVERTISEMENTS to paying subscribers....... Shame on you capitalists.Version: 2.6.8

A Lot of Great Anime, But the iPad App is Faulty‘Oops, something went wrong, please tap here to refresh the screen” - this notification has kept popping up over the past few weeks and the app’s home screen doesn’t load properly anymore. Actually playing and watching episodes seems to work fine, however all the series I’ve been watching have disappeared from my recent watchlist and some shows don’t appear at all in the various category lists, instead displaying as blank links that don’t work and have no name/show title visible either. It also looks as if a number of episodes have completely disappeared from some series altogether, such as Restaurant To Another World, where the most recent releases in Series 2 are no longer available..Version: 2.5.1

Horrible app, deleted before finishing 1st ep.Didn’t make it passed the intro, first 10 seconds got 1 of 6 ads, watched all 6 over two minutes and before the intro finished got two more group of 4 ads, in total I watched almost 20 ads and the intro never finished, I closed the app and deleted it..Version: 2.6.8

Saved by its content.Great content but thats about it- completely buggy app. Horrendous user experience. Slow and laggy. —Doesn't effectively remember shows you’re watching and its a nightmare to search. -Between different devices, it doesn’t always remember what you last watched. -Sometimes randomly starts playing from a few eps before. - If you’re watching an episode, there’s no access back to the rest of the episode list- you have to search for the show all over again to put another episode unless its the next one. Why?? -The ‘next episode’ button is annoyingly placed right next to ‘skip 10 seconds’ button so keep accidentally skipping episodes. You have such great titles in there please do justice to them and fix your app..Version: 2.6.2

I hate to say bootleg sites are way betterSlow as heck. I thought paying for a streaming service would mean better quality but apparently not. This is the first time I have invested in an anime streaming website. The interface is so so basic, I was expecting something smooth - like the way you use Netflix. Am I expecting too much, I don’t reckon lol.Version: 2.3.2

Does not work for apple boxMy phone works fine but doesn’t help at all when I can’t watch on my freaking tv… we just subscribed to the crunchyroll channel on prime instead….Version: 2.6.8

Longing for AnimelabI have been disappointed with the app so far, once you find what you want to watch it can take more than 20 seconds to even start playing. The chromcast function is unreliable and their TV app doesn't have a way to sign in from mobile..Version: 2.5.1

Why can’t I change the audio?Never seen a more ridiculously awful app that for some reason I pay for? My biggest issue is that when I’m playing a video, I can change the captions fine, there is a list of the different options. BUT when you click on the audio section, there’s nothing. I can’t change the language back to Japanese. What the hell? Fix it or lose my subscription, and I’m sure, many others. Doesn’t look good for the Funimation AnimeLab merger..Version: 2.3.3

Bro au secoursPire application pour anime ne possède pas la langue française.Version: 2.6.9

Pls fixI have a premium membership and whenever I try to watch a show or episode that I downloaded the subtitles are always delayed be like 30 seconds.Version: 2.6.8

Premium is buggy and over all stupidProbably the worst app I’ve ever used. It’s buggy, slow and the premium plus is such a scam. I’ve subscribed for premium multiple times and still nothing changes on my account. If I could have rated 0 stars 1 would have.Version: 2.3.1

MediocreI’ve hate this app for a couple of months, it’s best feature is it’s anime library. I’ve come across plenty of issues not only on the phone app but the app on the television as well. As for my televisions one won’t play any show I choose, the other won’t auto play to the next episode. My fire stick is where this app works best. As for my phone downloading shows to watch later is terrible, for starters the download speed of one episode is slow, then after I’ve clicked download on episodes I have to always go back because the episodes always fail to download. I have to keep clicking and re-download episodes multiple times for hours. While on wifi in some locations episodes not download will not play, it’ll sit at a black screen and do nothing BUT on the same wifi speed Netflix downloads episodes and plays everything very well. With all that being said I guess it’s pointless having to mention the subtitles come in seconds late. So all in all it’s almost better to try a different anime app altogether which I have not done thus far. I’ll give this app another month of $7 before I call it quits..Version: 2.5.0

App supportFeels like the app is often forgotten about and the service is often behind I have trouble loading titles on certain devices like my iPad Pro 2023 when it works on my iPhone or sometimes it’s the other way around I find my self jumping to different providers as the customer support is poor when I reached out to them it got a 3 week no reply with an apology for the delay with some basic troubleshooting step after following them I had radio silence for another 2 weeks so I kinda lost hope as they already took almost 2 months pay with no fix shame really as I had high hopes for the service but guess it’s time to switch providers for the content I want to watch across devices. Hope the service improves as I would like to come back..Version: 2.6.8

Fix thisEvery time I try and watch something it keeps loading it was great for the first few weeks I stopped watching then started back again and it won’t even load I’ve paid just for premium.Version: 2.6.0

Advertises ability to download as premium featureI PAY for this feature. Yet it’s unavailable. Are you serious?!.Version: 2.6.6

Two major problemsUI and scrolling through the app interface is a problem, however it’s definitely not my biggest worries of the app. The main problem is the abysmal quality of the actual viewing of anime. As a premium subscriber, no matter what I do I can’t maintain a constant 1080p resolution for more than a minute. Switching the quality to high doesn’t seem to do anything either and remains on the auto setting. I tried to work my way around this by instead downloading all the eps at 1080p to watch. However after downloading multiple eps I see another app breaking mistake. The subtitles were completely delayed by 20 seconds or more. These are major problems that the app needs to address, especially after the take down and destruction of AnimeLab, an app where I had no complaints with still using..Version: 2.4.2

Bad with ChromecastThis app is horrible with chromecast. It will not continue on to the next episode, you have to do it manually. Sometimes you have fiddle around with trying to reconnect it again. You can’t skip intros. There’s 2 screens one to skip forward 30 seconds, the other skips episodes, you can’t skip forward 30 seconds without needed to restart the episode again to skip the episode. Would not recommend, will not be continuing on past the 14 day free trial, I’ll go back to animelab… The only reason I tried this app was because I was told One Piece was on here, but it’s not available in Australia..Version: 2.1.0

Utterly filled with issuesYou remember when people were annoyed with the Funimation and AnimeLab merge? Yeah, I think every user was but to give some credit, this app has I think managed to become worse. This app struggles from constant issues with it not even being able to log on half the time. The Chromecast function barely works, trying to play any episode will load more then half the time slowly and also normally won't load at all. The information under content is half the time incorrect with the languages and subtitles among other issues. This part of the review didn't contribute to the mobile app but for some reason this is a universal issue for Funimation, their apps constantly have issues across all platforms not to mention the fact that other features such as skipping openings or endings is no where in sight on the mobile app at least. To put it bluntly this app needs to be fixed, it's quite a bad look for Funimation as a company if they can't manage to provide a good user experience even if the content is good..Version: 2.3.2

Probably the worst experience on an appStep 1. download AnimeLab Step 2. Be told to get funimation. Step 3 download funimation app Step 4 create an account and pay for subscription Step 5 find episode I want to watch Step 6 I’m told by default my mature setting is off even though I wasn’t asked for my age (no way to change this from the app) Step 7 try login via browser to turn of the setting Step. 8 I’m told my password isn’t strong enough so I have to reset it Step 9 reset the password I just created Step 10 reset password fails with no explanation given Step 11 finally turn off mature setting Step 12 go back to funimation app and try to watch aot Step 13 i get an error (probably due to password reset or mature setting change) Step 14 have to log in and out again to finally get to the episode..Version: 2.3

Bring Back Anime LabAfter finally being able to log in. It doesn’t look as good as Anime Lab, not as many features, like cont play and skipping intro option, doesn’t bring up genres to search… SHE BASIC and faulty.Version: 2.5.1

Content is fine, but this is a horrible appFor a premium service, somebody needs to work on the app. It is horrible. we were hoping to watch demon slayer on our Apple TV but nothing will load and all I’m getting is a red circle with a cross through it. The service costs $12.99 per month. It is utterly inconceivable that this company can’t fix the app. is it any wonder that piracy is thriving? we are canceling the service, for sure. Get it together, you imbeciles..Version: 2.6.8

Amazing catalogue, horrible in every other regardThe only reason I use and pay for Funimation is their large catalogue of shows streaming services such as Crunchyroll does not have, but the UI is very frustrating to use and there are plenty of permanent bugs. To name a few I keep experiencing, permanent low quality streaming regardless of subscription and internet, subtitles sometimes not showing up or being delayed, the pause/play button freezing after using it a few times and many more. I would recommend to only use this to catch a few shows not available elsewhere but don’t use it as your main anime streaming service..Version: 2.6.4

Buggy and now adsHas been buggy ever since I have used the app wont stay connected when casting, app disconnects from device so episode starts from beginning when trying to skip to next episode, autoplay function doesn’t work, certain episodes will not load from time to time Naruto being the latest for me, not being able to cast episodes at all and the nail in the coffin. Ads, on a paid for service.Version: 2.6.0

AnimeLab was betterI used to watch Anime on AnimeLab but when I found out that AnimeLab was closing down, I was devastated because: 1. I had to download a WHOLE NEW APP And 2. I was scared that what episode I’m on wouldn’t save and guess what, it didn’t I hate Funimation and I can’t even watch the stuff I was watching on AnimeLab because it says that it’s only available to premium plus subscribers only!! I’ve also read the other reviews and them talking about how you have to watch like 8-12 ads just to even start to watch an episode. I am not proud of the designers. I do could give Funimation a 0 star review, I would. This app needs to be fixed ASAP otherwise you’re gonna keep getting reviews like this and you will no longer have as many people getting the Funimation app. AnimeLab was more of a success because Funimation has just upset multiple people. If you haven’t noticed, AnimeLab has better reviews than Funimation so if you wanna get ur reviews up than start to do better and make Funimation more like AnimeLab but better..Version: 2.5.1

The worst media player on any streaming serviceI love funimation’s content, when I can actually watch it without the media player failing hard - which is rare. Even on a freaking ethernet connection it’s CONSTANT buffering and freezing and frustration. I can’t get through a single episode of anything without having to refresh like 10 times, start from the beginning, fast-forward to where I was, more buffering…rinse and repeat…and the app is even worse. I honestly don’t know why I keep paying for it given that Netflix’s anime library is pretty good now and Crunchyroll isnt perfect but it’s miles above this, I guess I just think that theyve had these complaints for so long they’ll do something about it soon but it has been this way since I subscribed like 3 years ago…still same problems…how and why and they don’t fix this is utterly mystifying given that it’s the whole point of a streaming service and I guess I just need to stop paying for it at this point..Version: 2.1.0

Thinking about leavingI have to sit through 4 ads just to watch an anime, then it’s starts the anime intro but after the intro is another 4 ads, by the time I’ve started my anime; I’ve sat through 8-12 ads. To make matters worse, the skippable ads are usually 20-30 seconds, but the un-skippable ads are 2 minutes long! That is not it; for no ads you have to pay $8 a month; just for no ads, this is utterly shameful and the quality is trash, I’m only here for the anime’s, not the ads. The quality is also trash. Finally, To go 10secs forwards or back you have to press this SPECIFIC spot on the screen to do that, it’s NOT convenient at all. I’ve thought about leaving many times. So to conclude this, what I would like to see is: . Less ads .less money to pay for no ads .Better quality .more convenient I don’t recommend this app to anyone reading this, it is a waste of time and money And also you need a premium account to finish watching anime’s?! WHY?! Its very disrespectful. You should be ashamed.Version: 2.2.1

Very badThis app is so much worse then anime lab the interface is so hard to use I had to watch a tutorial to understand it. Very buggy half the time I can’t get into the app, I’ve been trying to stop my subscription that came over from anime lab, but the app crashes every time I do it. Bring back anime lab.Version: 2.5.1

DisappointedDownloaded this app to watch MHA. First thing it came up with is premium (£4.99 a month) and I had lots of difficulty trying to find the normal account since every time I closed the premium another came up. Offline this app is very laggy, the show stops several times, and the quality is bad (pixelated screen). But when I’m online/connected to WiFi, the app stays the same. The screen is black and then 5 adverts pop up lasting about 30 seconds each. When the app is working ok- you get adds almost every 5 minutes which gets very annoying..Version: 2.3.3

Good selection of content. Trash AppsThe Good: They have a great selection of content. At least, I’m happy with it. The Bad: I use this on iPhone and Apple TV. On the iPhone when browsing through the full library it will sometimes say it can’t communicate with the servers. This always happens with certain shows like when I try to add DBZ or Naruto to my queue. It also seems like there is some content available on my phone that’s not available on Apple TV. Like I can watch Akira on my phone, but when I go to the info for it on TV it says there’s no videos. The Apple TV app is the worst. When I view the details for a show or movie, the back button doesn’t return me to the previous screen; instead it takes me to the main menu. I then have to navigate through the menus back to where I was. When browsing shows it always defaults to most recently added. I switch to alphabetical to make it easier to find what I’m looking for, but it doesn’t let me jump through the alphabet. Then as I said before, if I view something I then have to start all over. I also tried to navigate to Naruto or DBZ to add them to my queue on my TV, but the app crashes when I try to view them. Recommendations: * Fix the back button functionality to work like the rest of Apple TV apps * Add scroll by letter function / jump to letter function * Have a disclaimer if a show isn’t available on all supported platforms * Get an Apple TV for your QA team to test on.Version: 2.6.4

Please fix this appThe app itself is great.. except for needing to close it between episodes 2 or 3 times to get buffering to work. Mobile or console this still happens. The continue watching feature struggles sometimes to actually keep up with what episode you’re at and sometimes thinks you’re still where you were last time you opened the app Also my last point is the time stamps, I do not know if I’m missing something, but so far nothing I’ve watched has any of the following- skip intro, skip recap and skip credits? This is an app that is going to get continued use, may as well do it the right way no?.Version: 2.5.1

Worst app everNothing ever loads properly with this app & I pay for the premium subscription there’s always something wrong with it or it doesn’t load or something doesn’t work like simple things like trying to pick a season or simulcast or uncut or it freezes on trying to airplay somewhere the contact is great the app is pure garbage it is so frustrating . you would think after the Crunchyroll merger they would either make one app or fix this app. They still haven’t still the worst app ever great content, horrible app..Version: 2.6.8

Get Crunchyroll.Im going to be brutally honest. They gave up on this streaming service. Days of not being able to connect on mobile but you can PC. Playing a crunchyroll ad before every episode even with a 10 dollar subscription. The only reason i got funimation is to watch One piece dubbed, and thats it. The website version of funimation is terrible. It hogs so much internet from your computer that it has to be the only thing running on your pc. even with it drawing this much internet, it buffers constantly 10 - 13 times per episode where it will skip seconds of content and then start playing in terrible quality. The volume doesnt stay consistent, making you have to lower the volume each time you start an episode. Funimation shared part of its library with crunchyroll to apparently make it the greatest anime experience, but all it did was bring funimations problems to crunchyrolls website too. Ive put off using funimation as i didnt feel like paying, and the minutes of ads with no subscription, and i wish i just stuck with that and never got funimation. If you aint reading allat, just stay away from funimation and just get crunchyroll or pirate shows..Version: 2.6.4

EhIt’s not that bad but, it’s harder to find some anime’s with only a Japanese name and I can’t remember what is it called so I won’t be able to find it at all. Secondly, there are way to much ads. At the start you get 4 ads instead of 2 like what anime lab did. And AnimeLab only puts the ads at the start and middle but Funimation makes the ads in very unique spots. In anime lab you know when a ad is going to appear when you hear the sound gets low and it cuts to one of those pages with the anime name on it or the title. I would give it a 2 star if it weren’t for some anime episodes that are not in anime lab..Version: 2.5.0

IdkKinda a lot of ads but other than that it’s cool!.Version: 2.6.8

PLEASE FIX YOUR APPDude I just wanna watch anime. I even have a subscription but I can’t cast anything to my tv because the casting in this app is so broken. Whenever you try to cast an anime to the tv it does stuff like reset you to the beginning of the episode or it doesn’t go tot he next episode at the end of the one you were watching. Please bring back Animelab, PLEASEEEEEE.Version: 2.6.0

Too many dubsThe selection of shows is pretty good, but the Japanese versions are largely unavailable. I’m not hating on people who want the dubbed versions, but hearing the original Japanese voice actors is my personal preference. All the shows I love and wanted to rewatch are English only. You would think it would be the other way around. It’s definitely taken away a significant number of choices from the shows I would watch which is maddening because this is one of the only ways to watch anime in my region. This feels like a trap because this company knows it doesn’t have to be good to its users because they’re one of the only ones who provides this service. Feels like a rort paying for premium. On top of that are the usual ux/ui complaints. Hard to navigate to a genre or a show’s info page (i.e. you see the tile for the most recent episode of a series you are interested in starting but there’s no way to see the show details so you cannot pick the first episode in the series, forcing you to hunt down their search function and typing out the entire show title unless you want to scroll through the irrelevant results that come up in the search). You have to scroll through a lackluster home page to find the filtering function and loading each show’s info has a 30% chance of a load error. There’s no way to report missing subtitles or to request shows (like when this was animelab)..Version: 2.2.2

The worst streaming service/app. Constant wait.Not even kidding. I’ve been using this app for 3 months now, it’s the worst streaming service/app. I’m not sure if it’s the app or the streaming service itself, but it’s terrible. Can barely do simple functions other streaming services do such as continue next episode and replay. Can’t remember where user left off on an episode. The worst part is trying to start an episode. It will start to play the first 7 seconds, then waits…and waits…and waits. It’s stupid. I can run every other streaming service without delay, yet Funimation can’t provide a working streaming service. So if you get stuck on the wait, start over (you’ll have to do it another 5 or 6 times before it’ll work) then you can watch your show. It’s a mixture of luck, fast forwarding before it gets stuck on a wait, and where/when on the episode to press play; otherwise you’ll be on the wait again. It’s annoying to do every episode. I’m canceling and never coming back to this ridiculous company..Version: 2.5.1

Worst streaming app and ran by lazy peopleAnimelab was great, this is the worst possible replacement imaginable. The app has terrible design and looks ugly most of the time, the flow of the site isn’t streamlined making it hard to find things even when you know what you want to find. Trying to steam to a TV will force the dub to play and not the sub, for some reason the ‘add to queue button rarely works, payment validation almost always fails it’s first try, optimisation is poor, player is poor, the whole thing is downright poor. These people should take a lot of pages from AnimeLab and make an actual good site/app (desktop site has all the same issues) all of these are easy fixes, but the owners are just lazy..Version: 2.5.1

Absolutely garbageYou have to watch 5 30 second ads for one episode, and everything is “only for plus subscribers”. Seriosly, do you expect everyone to pay a full subscription for pure garbage? The navigation is sooo buggy, to the point where i have to press 20 buttons to get to the description of an anime. Furthermore, the playstation 4 version of the app just plain doesn’t work, it wont let me see any of the anime. Why did they get rid of animelab? Im not saying animelab was really good, but in comparison to this thing you call a streaming service, it was heaven. All i wanted to do was watch anime with no problems, it just ruined my morning. To anyone wanting to download this peice of actual garbage, just dont, and to the developers; please fix your “streaming service” or just remove it..Version: 2.4.2

I enjoy it but there’s some problems...Ok I really do enjoy this app it’s quite nice. There are problems that make me rate it so low let’s talk about the good part first. It has tons of Anime's for anyone and everyone which is quite nice but that’s really it... One there’s mostly dubbed anime only, which is good for me because I HAVE to watch the dubbed version because of reasons. But for the people who want to watch the Anime's in Japanese and enjoy it that way don’t get that opportunity especially if it’s the original version is in Japanese that should be your first priority. Then there’s the downloading feature so I wanted to download a season of an Anime series and it failed and was like ok...but then when I went back on to the season it told me again that it failed even if that was days later and it’s annoying. Like I know that it failed don’t tell me again and that happened every time I tried to watch it... so that’s that Also money...even if you can have a premiere you should not have to pay something to watch most of everything on there..Version: 2.2.2

Worst streaming serviceI’m one of the people that came from AnimeLab after they were bought out by Funimation and after being a user of AL and Crunchyroll, Funimation is the absolute lowest tier for a streaming service. My biggest critique is that the UI is terrible and janky. The other apps are smooth when clicking into a episode and casting it to a chromecast but Funimation somehow managed to botch that. It takes a solid 10-15 seconds for it to finally cast until you’re met with their incessant intros (which no other service does) and even then there’s still problems. The one that really bugs me is that dub is the default option, which is fine, but now you can’t change it. I’ve tried multiple times on multiple episodes/shows to change it from the dub, by going from ‘uncut’ to ‘simulcast’ and nothing works. So now all the shows I would watch without hassle on AnimeLab are a pain to watch and there’s no option for no dub. TLDR; dl crunchyroll or find another service. Don’t download Funimation..Version: 2.4.2

Sadly not worth it.I’ve tried a few other anime streaming services but this one really needs to work on their interface. So many animes with audio out of sync. On my downloaded episodes the captions wouldn’t sync up. Tried everything like refreshing and closing the app restarting my device but there’s just so many technical issues. Going back to crunchy roll think….Version: 2.5.0

Not worth itAfter the bungled rollout and sudden changeover from animelab to funimation I was skeptical this was going to be a good thing...lo and behold, not a good thing. Funimation's service is worse in every possible way. The app is buggy and poorly optimised, searching often leads to no results when titles are in the library elsewhere, playback is slow or out of sync and often doesn't remember my preferred settings or where I am up to in an episode/series. Not being able to mark episodes as being watched, or importing watch history from animelab makes this entire process even more cumbersome. Not only that, but after migrating from Animelab and wishing to cancel the premium subscription (that was a completely unavailable option to me in app, in App Store subs, or even through the actual website). I was then told by customer service that they couldn't cancel my sub on their end because of a third party payment option... my card was, and still is, valid with animelab, and so it's now MY fault and I need to tell MY bank to cancel these payments because my card data failed to migrate properly during this mess FUNI created? I did like Funimation, but I really don't anymore. All of this has been in complete and total disregard for us anime consumers and then we're to blame when it doesn't suit them. Don't waste your time or your money. It's the Internet, go find your content elsewhere and you'll be better off..Version: 2.3.1

You guys desperately need a UX designer!I subscribed to the service because I wanted to watch an old anime (Initial D). The instructions to get the free trial didn’t work. So I end up paying for the subscription without even trying the service. Then downloaded on my Apple TV and what a painful experience it is to find the anime on that app! The search is only on one location, if you don’t add it to the queue, I couldn’t see the list of episodes. Also, switching language is plain dumb! You need to get out of the current execution, then go to the list and switch the language, when it restarts, it restarts the video! For whatever reason it keeps switching from Japanese to English audio! This is just the basics! The lack of features such skip intro or play next episodes doesn’t exist! To play next, I need to manually go through the credits and hit next… On the positive side, I haven’t experienced buffering or connection issues..Version: 2.4.0

Horrible apps/user interface and they do not care.If you have used funimation’s app on any platform then I don’t have to tell you but it is the clunkiest, most inconvenient successful entertainment app I have ever seen. They offer multiple streams but not multiple profiles so you will be constantly having to refund your episode if you share. Will switch languages for no reason. Does not track episode if you watch uncut and then auto switches back. Every time I watch one piece I have to 1. Rebrowse to find the episode I’m on 2. Re switch back to uncut 3. Reswitch the language 4. Manually skip through the recap or intro Often the downloads won’t download for no reason. Sometimes fully downloaded content will somehow still freeze Most the funimation apps have no next episode button you you either have to manually fast forward the entire episode or go back to the menu, find the season, find the episode These are just a few examples but funimation fails at almost any opportunity to provide any ease of use to the interface. If you can watch the show you wanna watch somewhere else then do it because this app is 🚮.Version: 2.6.6

UnfortunateKind of annoying how they make you pay for what’s seemingly an unusable app. It’s honestly not bad when it’s working, but I guess that’s the catch. First you have to deal with the app loading which is unnecessarily long, assuming you get past the fetching details screen, and then you still have to wait for it to do.. something? If you’re lucky enough to actually get to watch the title you’re looking for without app crashes/“something went wrong” or “lost connection” issues it’s worth what you pay. I just wish they’d stop adding/removing features and actually make the app usable. My other complaint would be the buggy and lackluster user interface. Other than that, the selection is pretty good so that’s cool. It’s truly unfortunate because the general color palate is nice compared to Netflix/Hulu/HBO etc. since they all seem to use basic grays and blacks, but until the app is usable consistently I couldn’t recommend it..Version: 2.4.2

The Promised Neverland Se01, where is it?Tried to reactivate my AnimeLab account to watch The Promised Neverland. While trying to reactivate my account got redirected to Funimation. After half an hour of trying to make it work, i finally realised my AnimeLab password wasn’t up to snuff for Funimation…as much as I appreciate the added security, a warning why I couldn’t log in with my AnimeLab account would’ve been appreciated. Anyway, I digress, because the real issue here is that the Funimation and AnimeLab libraries aren’t synced. After being forced to go with Funimation instead, I would’ve expected I could at the bare minimum get access to the same library. At my first try (The Promised Neverland) this already proved to be an issue; both seasons on AnimeLab, only season 2 on Funimation. Is this going to be fixed?.Version: 2.2.2

Terrible Service - Will Be Unsubscribing If Not ResolvedI am paying for a subscription to Funimation exclusively to watch DBZ. For the past 2 days it isn’t working. It just brings an error message saying “something went wrong.” I’ve tried on multiple devices and internet connections as well as clearing cache/logging in and out. Nothing works. This service is broken. It is unacceptable to have a paid service that doesn’t function. Funimation address this issue immediately as I have read of this happening to others also. If not resolved I will unsubscribe and contact you further for a refund considering I can’t use the service I have paid for..Version: 2.3.3

Funimation is a 100% disappointmentThe app and the management of the app is appalling. Funimation are late uploading latest anime, ie they amped up that episode 170 of Black clover was to air tomorrow but it actually took 3 days to air!! The app is awkward to navigate and now for some stupid reason Black Lagoon will not load on my app. I’ve never been so frustrated or annoyed at an app before. Stay away!!!.Version: 2.2.2

VERY mixed opinionsOk. I’ll try to make this short. For the rundown, it’s really, good. The video quality is incredible and the audio is the same, with subtitles that, surprise, ACTUALLY WORK! And it’s all great! Except for the fact it doesn’t work! Seriously, EVERY TIME I try to watch an episode on my IPad, it says ‘This is only available to premium plus subscribers’, which is all fine and dandy until you notice that I AM A PREMIUM PLUS SUBSCRIBER. It’s really annoying, so please fix this in any way you can because it ruins the otherwise perfect anime streaming service..Version: 2.3

Good but..Hey this is a good app to watch anime and all but I think the most problems I have is ads and pay walls. I get some things need paywalls but not most of the apps content. Like the demon slayer movie, I thought I could watch something like that for free on your app, which was one of the reasons why I got it not knowing I had to pay to see it. Kinda a let down sorry to say. But besides that, the ones that I can watch for free have a massive amount of ads, most of the time the ads repeat themselves back to back which can be annoying to most. I’ve noticed that when I accidentally close out the app completely and go back into the anime, I have to watch up to 5 ads just to continue where I left off. I don’t really thinks that’s fair, and it’s quite frustrating. Overall this is a good app, I just think you need to tone down on ads and paywalls is all. Hope you all have a good day!.Version: 2.3.3

A significant downgradeHad an Animelab account until they were bought out by these guys. Downloaded the app only to find it extremely unintuitive. The windows that appear when you select anime cant be closed by tapping outside of them, only on the small x up top. And the scrolling randomly switched between either the whole page moving, or only the episode list which only takes up a third of the page. This felt like a serious downgrade from how Animelab was setup. Now that ive installed the latest iOS update, trying to play a video causes the app to crash. Ive cancelled my subscription and even when the crash is fixed wont be coming back..Version: 2.2.2

App is terribleThe app in a word is terrible, they have a pretty small library and is more expensive compared to other platforms, the image quality takes a while to buffer out for videos, the interface can be annoying to use and it doesn’t offer custom recommendations like crunchyroll does which is annoying as you now have to search google to find similar animes. So in short don’t waste your money on this app spend it on other reliable and high quality apps such as crunchyroll you’ll at least get your money’s worth..Version: 2.6.7

JUST MAKE IT ANIMELAB AGAINThis is all the issues I had using 10 minutes of this app *All my shows did not carry over from my ANIMELAB account *The display format of the app is confusing and disorienting compared to how simplistic ANIMELAB was *Loading times are extremely poor not only with watching shows but also browsing anime *It looks rushed and unfinished in some areas such as choosing between seasons which doesn’t have a custom template like animelab *You cannot add certain anime to your queue for a variety of reasons such as watching it beforehand and searching the anime I am very disappointed and will be canceling my subscription until the issues are resolved. How hard is it to keep the same format as AnimeLab it’s just stupid.Version: 2.5.0

Just pure garbageI was originally a user of AnimeLab. I had no issues, happily paid to stream. Then it switched to Funimation and I had no choice. This app is downright broken. I can’t load episodes. The audio won’t sync. The app regularly crashes. It’s stupid difficult to navigate. For some reason, I had shows that were dub only, but had subs available on AnimeLab. I couldn’t even watch the Demon Slayer movie and watched it offsite. How ridiculous to pay $10 for a broken, glitchy app that is beat out by random third party pirate websites that can give you viruses. I’ll be letting my subscription run out and switch over to a better competitor. So, so disappointing. Don’t bother getting a subscription and if you do, run it out and move on to somewhere else..Version: 2.5.0

No episodesCertain anime (one piece for exemple) there are no episodes available to watch. You can find the anime you want to but when you want to watch there’s no ep available? And to watch anime in Funimation on Apple TV is chaos, AVOID, there’s no way of going back to the previous page, if you go back you’ll go back to the beginning. The layout of the app looks just old fashioned. Unfortunately certain anime aren’t available in crunchyroll that I also pay for, and now they’re all owned by the same company, thought things would be better but no. Unfortunately if you don’t watch in this two apps you’ll either end up seeing lots of ads, that’s on iPhone, in Apple TV there’s no other app available to watch animes and try to screen mirror other apps or from the browse and you’ll end up with a headache. So this is basically a monopoly where you end up on this two apps like you or not and the don’t do nothing to improve them, shame as more and more people are getting into anime..Version: 2.3.3

Everything is only available to premium membersI already knew Funimation was on the crappier side of the streaming apps, knowledge which was built from past experiences. I hadn't watched anime in a while and was looking forward to rewatching Naruto, but when I downloaded AL I was notified of the migration. Ok, no big deal, surely it won't be too bad. I didn't have high expectations, especially since before I went on my anime hiatus a lot of content on AL was becoming premium-only. Downloaded Funimation, what do you know, the entirety of Naruto is premium-member only. That's fine I can watch something else. Still premium-member only. I don't like to get personal when arguing, but this app is a disappointment, the loading is clunky and overall trash. Big letdown..Version: 2.6.2

Absolutely terribleSigned up to funimation as anime lab site states to, got confirmation that my free trial had started, set up my account all seemed to be ok. Except when I went watch something it told me I needed to upgrade to premium (which was what I signed up gave my credit card details and all). Tried emailing them to fix or ask what was going on, managed to sign up to premium a 2nd time and it still wouldn’t allow me to watch anything. Emailed 3 times in the space of 2 weeks and no response from anyone. Had to cancel before they changed me after the 14 free day trial that I never got 🙄 DO NOT RECCOMEND this company or this app. Terrible service..Version: 2.4.2

UnsatisfactoryFor an app that requires a paid subscription to have so many technical difficulties is pretty unacceptable. I often try to log on and am unable because the app “can not fetch data”. I also am not able to watch a number of titles that are said to be included on the app because they simply will not load. I have this same issue when using the website, so it is a company wide problem. It is frustrating for two reasons. The first, being that I have seen other streaming apps that have none of these issues so I know that it is possible to fix these bugs. The second, is it feels as though the company is neglecting their customers because they know that Funimation is the only app available in America with such a wide range of dubbed anime. They choose not to correct any of these issues even though their are countless complaints, or at least that is how it is coming off. I suggest a change in subscription pricing so that these problems can be resolved. I am sure that myself and many other customers would not kind paying more if it means an actually enjoying watching experience. Signed, a very disappointed customer..Version: 2.3.3

Great content, lackluster presentation, & other not-minor failings.Loving their choice of anime to pick up. Not liking how subtitles tend to go missing (eg: the Japanese version is available , but has absolutely no subtitles), or subtitles play back out of sync with the video. New videos are ok. It’s when something gets a season or two old that things tend to fail. Liking less how, when I buy blue-rays from their store with digital versions included... the digital version is not included (yes, sure, the key is in the blue-ray case... the key wasn’t active for any of 3 blue rays from 2 separate purchases). Liking least (but going back furthest - may happen they’ve fixed this? Their reply indicated they didn’t really care...), when I went to create a login so that I could comment about their videos online... that I couldn’t because of an error, and got a reply to the effect of ‘yeah, that’s not working.’ No path provided to fix the problem. When a complaint results in neither a correction nor a setting of expectations, that sets an expectation of problems, if reported, don’t get fixed. Obvious, glaring+recurring problems with content not being promptly fixed (missing/broken subtitles) supports this undesiareable expectation, which leaves customers little motivation to report problems, just a general motivation to move on..Version: 2.1.0

Great before, but recently… there has been an issue.Everything before a few days before this review was posted, was great. I’m not necessarily saying that it’s not great now, but there has been an issue as of late. Whenever I start an episode the advertisement in the beginning never loads, and never automatically goes away. I’m not a premium member, and upgrading would seem to be a simple solution, but I’m not sure I’d want to purchase a subscription right now. The selection of anime is still impressive and is comparable to many other large anime streaming services, but with the advertisements not loading correctly, it basically renders the app useless unless you pay the subscription for premium. The app itself is still good, but this only goes to show that one small problem can ruin something for what it is. Edit: Truth be told, I’ve been looking for reasons to switch to Crunchyroll anyways lately, because of its expansive library of anime, and ease of access to most features in its menu/Home Screen format..Version: 2.6.2

Language problemsFunimation is pretty good it’s got a lot of animes and is up to date with new episodes( I think it’s up to date with new episodes). but one problem is that recently it switched to Japanese and is stuck on Japanese and saying that Japanese is the only language option when you click on language after clicking on the video you want to watch, even though on audio preference the English option is turned on after clicking on account to get to audio preference It would be a 4 star rating if they fixed the language problem.Version: 2.6.2

Didn’t convert my account from animelabAfter finding out that animelab and Funimation were combining I was conflicted as I knew how terrible it had worked for me in the past and the extra effort I need to just watch anime. It’s especially annoying as animelab was such a perfect platform that gave literally zero trouble to use, but I decided to try out Funimation and to hope it had gotten better than when I last tried it. I was thoroughly disappointed when the Funimation app didn’t even register my animelab account details like the walkthrough video said, rather it just told me “Failed Authentication”. I made sure to change my password on animelab to fit Funimations password criteria but still to no avail. At this point I decided to not even bother and just move to crunchyroll. I honestly don’t know what you are even doing to make a platform so dysfunctional it’s really frustrating. I really hope the animelab team can fix your garbage app 👍👍👍.Version: 2.1.0

Where did Naruto go!!?Being watching Naruto lately & the other night when I went to watch it I noticed it wasn’t in my continue watching so I searched it & I still can’t find it..Version: 2.6.4

Just a waste off time an moneyI feel like I’m paying for nothing but to look at pictures every time I try an watch something it say try again later or tells me I need to Subscribe which I already do I find I use the old site to watch anime on an put up with the ads just so I can watch a anime this site has but won’t play even though I pay monthly subscription so I can enjoy anime ad free I get nothing but pictures to look for my money or a list for an anime you don’t even have on there why say there a anime then have no episodes for it it’s frustrating an annoying.Version: 2.3.1

The ad’s are just annoying get rid of them COMPLETELYHello I’ve had this app before and the annoying thing about it was the Ad’s and I’ve downloaded it again to watch an anime called chi’s sweet home but it doesn’t show up is there any chance you can add that anime and not have that much ad’s or none at all? Please and thank you if you do it of course. am editing this I have had 8 ad’s in a row and am trying to watch an anime but I can’t just get rid of the ad’s completely I don’t want to buy premium just to watch it without ad’s there shouldn’t even be ad’s just get rid of them.Version: 2.5.1

Anime lab mergerAnime lab was a great option and great competitor to crunchy roll, but now with the funimation merger I find that after my subscription is over I will most likely switch to crunchyroll, as it seems to be much less buggy and just be more user friendly, especially on the mobile app side of things..Version: 2.3.3

There are better stream sitesThis was a step in the wrong direction, player often doesn’t save episodes I’ve watched and some times doesn’t even add to my queue. What really got me is the setting always returning to dubbed even after changing not good enough anime on site to keep me paying for this.Version: 2.3.2

And I thought the TV app was bad!Would have thought that the acquisition of Anime Lab would have meant utilising their app which was genuinely good and easy to use/navigate. Nope, this hot mess is what we’re blessed with instead. Buggy, casting is problematic, episodes don’t load, and the navigation is diabolical. A classic “I’m only giving this 1-star, as I can’t give 0-stars”..Version: 2.5.1

SHOWING ADS ON PREMIUM SUBSCRTIONShut down your app! You are showing ads on premium subscription.Version: 2.6.9

AnnoyedThis app has so many issues. From streaming to accessing my account. Some shows won’t stream while others will. Some shows say they are dubbed in English but won’t play in English. Sometimes the app won’t even open. Now I was told it couldn’t find my user on the app but, online it says o forgot my password. Which I did not. So I create a new account with the same email and it recognizes that I already have an account and it lets me log in finally. Now my subscription won’t link back to my account and I go to manage but there is nothing for me to do to manage the issue. Funimation needs a big overhaul or another company needs to buy them out and actually put some effort towards making it better. And not being able to speak to a rep is really annoying too. You have to wait almost a week to get a reply that’s not automated saying they received the request and that’s if you get a response. Highly disappointed and dissatisfied!!.Version: 2.6.8

Only casts english dubsI subscribed so I could cast on my TV, but now Funimation only casts the English dub by default when using chromecast, never the Japanese original, completely ignoring user settings. Get it together, Funimation..Version: 2.1.0

HorribleSub does not work in some cases, especially when i cast. I cannot add things to my queue it says “there was a problem downloading this item” and i have pretty decent wifi. It takes like 20 seconds for the app to actually load in. Animelab should’ve never merged into funimation, it was completely fine before and now its just horrible.Version: 2.5.0

FAIL in any languageYour app translations are as bad as the translations on your anime (but better-voiced): “Only Premium Plus and Premium Plus Ultra users must[sic] be able to access the app offline” And I thought the app was useless BEFORE! You are deliberately blocking access to PAID Digital Copies. Can you say “Class Action Lawsuit”? Update: this app FAILs on EVERY platform iOS (iPad and iPhone), PlayStation, Roku, etc. They constantly insert ads into PAID Digital Copies. Why bother logging in or building a digital library when your paid content has ads like anonymous, for-free guest viewing? That’s *IF* your Digital Copies are still in your Library! Funimation didn’t lose the licenses (yet)… those paid-for episodes are available but only on the main stream… with ads or, get this, only to premium subscribers! You need to subscribe to access your purchased content… which is otherwise available to all subscribers! Maybe you can find the missing Digital Copies in your Library by switching platforms, but I can all but guarantee you that they’ll have ads, even if you TRY to watch from My Library / My Anime! And the dubs are still garbage.Version: 2.6.4

Worst app DONT DOWNLOADSo I had AnimeLab for years and never had an issue and when they decided to move over to Funimation I was quite skeptical about it I downloaded the app and it was full of bugs so I kept using AnimeLab. Until they made the complete switch I stopped watching for months while still paying for my subscription because i had hope they would fix this app but unfortunately coming back it’s still buggy and can’t even connect to my Chromecast or smart tv! What’s the point of paying for something you can’t even use this to me is an important issue that these app developers don’t care about and they have completely lost my loyalty….. as I’m typing this I’m downloading crunchyroll.Version: 2.6.0

Appallingly buggyThe app is slow and buggy. Chromecasting hasn’t really been done well and it’s obvious that no one from the team has sat down and tried to use this app. Why doesn’t it play the next episode? And they’re trying move people off animelab. At least animelab’s UX is not terrible. I think they’ve made a mistake moving people to funimation especially given the poor state of this app.Version: 2.1.0

Same old great content, but the newly redone app interface leaves much to be desired.I find the new app a usability nightmare that appears to have been spewn forth from a marketing and graphics team allowed to run amok. When streaming a show it’s now much more difficult to navigate between episodes/seasons or pop up show info. Lots of shows appear in the list with the new ridiculously oversized tiles using cover art that doesn’t contain the show name in a readable format. I’ve also found the new version buggier than the old. The Continue watching list frequently doesn’t update. I’ve experienced many more streaming errors and crashes with this redesign. Lots of Unable to connect and something went wrong errors as well. As a bonus, now with iPadOS 15 it’s gotten even bigger with the regular crashing when trying to play content..Version: 2.3

Needs massive updatesTo begin with I can’t actually tell what I’ve watched as they glitch out and I have to play back multiple episodes. Secondly while casting to a tv I have to go into each episode manually and it opens on the phone before the tv so I have to go back like three times so select a new episode. Poor app but has my shows...Version: 2.5.0

Cannot explain how much I despise this appI literally cannot put into words how much I hate this app! I was forced to use it when AnimeLab was dissolved, and I did not expect any app or service to be this frustrating. Picture this: you’ve had a long hard day at work & you come home looking forward to watch some subtitled anime. But when you chrome cast it switches to dub. Okay let’s try changing the language settings. Chrome cast. No difference. Read through every reddit and website in the entire internet to find a solution as to why it won’t chrome cast in subbed when it literally says language is Japanese. I email the team & they literally tell me just click to change the language settings. Like I haven’t already tried! I’m switching to Crunchyroll once this month is up. If they respond to this post or help me to fix it I might consider staying with them. AnimeLab didn’t have any problems. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use funimation. I know I’m not the only one having issues with it..Version: 2.4.2

I have a premium plan and still get addsI don’t understand why I still get adds while trying to watch shows like mha when i pay the premium plus subscription and have been for the past year..Version: 2.1.0

It “works” but not quiteSadly this app doesn’t work very well with chrome cast, every single time I try to cast it the language gets switched over to English instead of Japonese, I’ve tried to cast others stuff on my chrome cast and it works fine, the app works fine with air play though. It seems like a bug to me, it’s not a free service and struggling to change the language option while casting seems a bit odd for me..Version: 2.2.1

Good but needs some improvementsI pay $5.99 a month for this app so I can any of the shows available to me without ads and so I can cast to my tv. The anime selection is better than Netflix and I don’t have to create a whole separate profile so my algorithm on Netflix doesn’t get ruined. However recently, I’ve noticed that while watching it’ll allow me to watch one or two episodes and then halfway through the second or third episode, it’ll boot me out of the app and force me to start the episode all over again. Since I cast this to the tv, I have to use wifi and I know my connection is good so it can’t be that and I don’t have this problem with any other app. If I’m going to be paying a monthly fee to use this app, I really ought to be able to ACTUALLY use it. Very frustrating to have to constantly reboot the app. Edit: this bug has been fixed however a new one has popped up! Now I can’t cast in Japanese!! Like many anime fans, I strongly prefer watching in Japanese with English subtitles as English dub is super cringey. But now the app doesn’t let me do that while casting to Google Crome cast. Please for the love of all that is good in the world, FIX THIS BUG!!.Version: 2.3

Wouldn’t work at allI had a subscription and tried to watch anime through the app and website and it wouldn’t ever let me. I tried emailing and it has been months without any contact from them or reimbursement. I would not ever recommend Funimation, if you chose to use it, don’t the customer service is a joke and they won’t reimburse you for anything. Don’t waste your time..Version: 2.6.4

Okay when it works, terrible otherwise.I’ve been using this app for a couple months and about the only thing it has going for it is the library; you have a vast catalog of shows to choose from and that’s great. What’s not great is the fact that I frequently find myself having to close and reopen the app to POTENTIALLY get to watch a singular episode because of how completely broken the ads are. I have literally spent more time watching ads than I have a show before because the app will get stuck trying to load more ads halfway through the episode leaving me with no other option but to close and reopen the app, sit through a barrage of ads just to get back to where I was in the episode, to then run into the same issue that made me close the app in the first place. Some days the app will actually work but other days I’m caught in this insufferable loop that leaves me beyond frustrated. I would love to continue using the app but it’s hardly worth my time if all I’m actually going to be using is an app that’s a advertisement marathon in disguise..Version: 2.6.2

TrashI just downloaded it because I heard it was the only place to watch an anime I was looking forward to. I wanted to watch it on my Xbox though so I queued it on my phone. When I check the same app on my Xbox, the queue didn’t exist. I couldn’t scroll through the anime at all either when I found that searching it brought up nothing. When I tried to press The all anime button to search through it, I could only scroll down to the sort button. I couldn’t actual look at or interact with the anime. I went back on to my phone to watch it but it was terrible quality. Already mad, I just straight up deleted it. It’s the worst app I’ve seen by far. Not even usable..Version: 2.1.0

My viewing of funimate by reading comments 😚So a lot of people are saying the app is useless offline ,and that is is better off staying online . One person said “ you have to watch 18 ads in total “ witch i find off putting because everyone hates ads and they tend to get on everyone’s nerves 😬, a few people also said that they are downloading the anime that they want to watch but it keeps on saying “ could not download “ I am only going to say the cons as it’s easier that way and all I wanted to do is make people aware that the app could do this to them , thank you for your time , have a lovely day or night and goodbye x.Version: 2.6.2

Funimation app transitionI’ve always enjoyed watching on the AnimeLab app, with how easy it was to use and there was no issues with it. I didn’t mind redoing my details to Funimation but I couldn’t even get through the login stage on the Funimation app, with it saying ‘Failed Authentication’. Watching through the website is okay but watching through an app is more smoother and easier to use. I hope that Funimation fixes this because current shows have not been releasing new episodes on AnimeLab due to the merge with Funimation (MHA, One Piece and Boruto is what I watch). So moving to Funimation has some serious issues. I have to watch through the Funimation website now but hopefully they work on it asap..Version: 2.2.1

Can’t watch certain episodes???There is so many glitches in this one app alone it’s just incredible I got a month subscription to watch two shows that’s it just two and I could watch the first with zero problems. The second seemed fine until I hit one episode witch would not load and it kept on coming with an error message so I tried downloading the episode to watch it offline this seemed to work fine until I got to one episode it was in the middle of the climax. And it just wouldn’t play. The shows on this site are good just the site is awful 😢 it’s just awful really. The second show was my hero academia if anyone knows a way to watch the episode I was on please tell me..Version: 2.6.8

Bring back anime lab.This app is so trash. Why do their issues never seem to be resolved. Does anyone even work for this company. It seems to be so hard to stream just one season of an entire anime smoothly on all different devices. This is the worst experience I’ve had on any streaming service..Version: 2.5.1

Slow & BuggyI am not happy about the change from AnimeLab to Funimation. A long time ago I had the Funimation app and it was a really bad app with lots of issues but I put up with it because you had the best dubbed content. Then you merged your content with Animelabs app and it was amazing. All the good Funimation content with AnimeLabs smooth performing app. Now you are switching back to Funimation and the app is still really bad. So slow to load and so buggy. I am a premium user and hate to be spending money on such a bad experience. I hope you guys can fix the app so it performs a lot better.Version: 2.3.1

WE WANT ANIMELAB BACKFrom hearing the news about animelab ultimately shutting down and moving its viewers to funimation I have constantly had issues and complaints. Animelab was clean, easy and very fast to use where as funimation is basically the complete opposite of that. Animelab worked as good or even better than netflix in a sense where it played almost instantly after clicking an episode or movie whereas funimation takes around a good 5 minutes just to load a single episode and glitches and pauses throughout the whole thing. Its no different to when I watched on dodgy online websites, where it takes ages to load, only difference being that im paying monthly for it..Version: 2.3.2

What a disappointment…AnimeLab was already quite good. Sure, it didn’t have ALL the anime out there, but it had enough. - Funimation can’t even play through chrome cast. - When I went to the search engine, there were just letters overlapping each other. It had looked like my phone was possessed. - There were some anime that weren’t available in English subtitles or Japanese dub, but both in an entirely different language. This app should have been improved and approved before replacing AnimeLab..Version: 2.3

Worst app ever!!Nothing has worked for months they hyped up ads showing the Mugen train movie never once has it worked, an now nothing on there loads just says come back later you can tell Sony has got the company now because they don’t give a monkeys about it, crunchyroll still works and they also been bought by Sony!!!!, also to the people saying it’s bad because the amount of ads that’s how they make there money when you use it for free like Jesus Christ you expect everything to be handed to you for nothing? If you stop complaining and actually contribute to society and support the anime industry and actually pay the sub then you have a right to complain like I just did people be clueless honestly!.Version: 2.2.2

Horrible streaming siteNot worth it at all, almost none of the shows on here have the complete series, and half of the shows needs premium to either be watched or continued. And it lacks a lot of good shows as well. Not to mention the amount of adds..Version: 2.6.8

Poor compared to competitionThe iOS app regularly returns a ‘unable to load’ error message when attempting to open the episode page for a show. When the episode page does eventually work, it takes a while for the lists and subsequent video feed to load which feels poor when compared to the likes of Crunchyroll. Separately, the genre page in the Apple TV app is completely broken. When you click the genre menu, you are unable to select a genre and all buttons just take you to the main menu. All in all, the apps provide a poor experience especially when compared to other content providers.Version: 2.3

UI and problems with watching certain showsThe user interface is poor at best and completely broken at worst. I have issues with speed and connection even using a LAN connection and good internet speeds. This problem makes about half their library unavailable at any time and doesn't have any rhyme or reason for their failures. The download is slow and updates seem non-existent. After they bought VRV I hoped they would build off of VRV's perfectly good app and brand it funimation, but they took it the other way. New series they've recently gotten the rights to that are touted as great additions; I would agree they are great additions to their library, but none of them are actually available for me to watch, it just says come back and try later. Broken system without hope for anything better since there is now a semi-monopoly on the anime streaming game by Sony and their terrible app. If there was ANY alternative to Funimation's app on phone/tv/computer I would even pay them an extra couple dollars to fix their problems, but I wouldn't trust Sony at their word for all the (insert valuable item here) with respect to fixing problems. Funimation has sucked for years, now it is getting much, much worse. I expect not to be able to watch any of their new acquisitions this year, maybe they'll fix it by 2023?.Version: 2.3

Many pros and consOkay, I would like to start off that this app is amazing, there’s many pros but there’s a few cons. One, the ads. Funimation, every single episode I watch it over-boards the amount of ads. Like when I start an episode it gives me 6-7 ads. When I’m getting to like the middle of an episode ANOTHER 7 ads. When I skip to a part, MORE ADS. Now, I get that there’s premium and all that but like can you reduce the amount of ads?? Like just give two ads or one, don’t give an excessive amount of ads. 1 or 2 ads is fine. Premium from what I’ve heard isn’t as good either. I get that you’re trying to boost your business but believe me when I say this, lesser the ads the more positive reviews you’ll get. No. 2, more language. Now, I get that you need premium to unlock certain subs and dubs, but like why is that an option? It’s as if you’re trying to rob a bunch of people and the subtitles aren’t even accurate to what the characters are saying in the sub version of the anime. 3, adding more anime. Funimation, you should atleast add more anime that has been released and make it sub for like a least amount of time and then add a 2nd option to where u can watch it in English. Alright that’s the end of the review. If your looking to download it be prepared for the amount of ads you’re about to see..Version: 2.6.4

Was a good appOverall, it is a great place to get your anime. Few glitches here and there which are to be expected. It’s free or you can pay for the upgraded version. However, they have now added commercials to episodes… they have always had one in the beginning but now there are 3 different sets throughout the episode. But that does not mean 3 commercials no there can be up to 6 30 second commercials and they can literally be all the same… talk about annoying. I had 3 of the same ones, then 1 different and then 2 more of the first one. Really?! Come on now, that’s a little ridiculous. I pay for the premium plus subscription so I can watch everything. Why am I paying to watch commercials? I understand if the free accounts have this but the premium plus? Any other film app either doesn’t have any commercials or does the one commercial at the start if you are paying a subscription. This has bothered me for awhile now. When I started using this app I enjoyed it. Finally a place to get to watch all the anime you want. But with this change, adding all these commercials to paying customer is starting to change my mind. I feel like they went from caring about customer experience to more about the money..Version: 2.6.2

Crap appApp performance was decent but I couldn’t use my paid for subscription on more that one device so when I got a new phone I kept getting adds, tried unsubscribing and resubcribing on new phone but the new subscription was not showing up on either phone. Didn’t show up till I went to delete app then it said do you want to unsubscribe Crunchyroll is better.Version: 2.6.9

Please change thisDon’t get me wrong , it’s a brilliant app with lots to watch but its really frustrating as there are so many adds and I can’t afford to get the membership without them so on behalf of all the other people like me who can’t afford the subscription but has a true passion for anime, we would be eve so grateful if you change this feature, thank you for reading. Please change this soon🙏.Version: 2.6.2

Sooooo slowBrand new iPhone 12, really good wifi, and this app still runs terribly. At least this one loads, unlike my Funimation app for my smart TV, which won’t even do that. Hey s Funimation incapable of making a passable app? What a joke..Version: 2.3.1

DONT GET ITWhen I got this I thought it would be a pretty decent app but NO instead I had to pay for no adds and the watch one piece in English, I tried the free way but instead I had to watch 7 adds and I mean it 7 ADDS. So I kindly recommend to NOT get this app🥲👎.Version: 2.6.8

Offline viewing completely uselessIn spite of my massive ongoing frustrations with this app, I do want to try and keep a level head and be fair. For general use the app works fine; the library is good with a wide selection of shows both subbed and dubbed. ...however, if you need to download any of these to watch offline it's another story entirely. Offline viewing has been varying degrees of broken for as long as I can remember. Whilst various attempts have been made to address these with each update, it's remained ultimately broken and more or less useless, and sadly that's still true. For months, offline viewing simply didn't display any subtitles whatsoever irrespective of your settings. A somewhat recent update managed to break this further by making videos not rotate to fill the screen (and still without subtitles). The latest update has fixed this in that the screen rotates properly and subtitles do appear... albeit drastically out of sync. I spend close to three hours a day commuting with limited to no signal so this is more than a bit of a nuisance and I really hope they address this soon as I'm frankly really losing my patience after almost a year of offline viewing not working in one way or another. If you never need to use offline viewing, add a star or two to my score. If offline viewing is vital for you, consider this a one-star review..Version: 2.1.0

Congrats, you’ve made quite possibly the worst streaming app available.The fact that you genuinely expect people to pay for your services is laughable. Paying premium rates for an app that constantly has to buffer, almost constant playback errors and searching errors, adding shows to the queue just for them to literally disappear, restarting anime’s that you’ve gone HUNDREDS of episodes into and to top it all off, chrome cast is almost impossible to use on my iPhone 12. You recently acquired AnimeLab (superior in every way possible) so I suggest take on the employees that designed their app, that way you may actually provide the service you expect people to pay for..Version: 2.3.1

DisappointedI’ve signed up for a free trial, obviously to see if I’d like funimation. To say in short words, I am extremely disappointed. Funimation has quite a variety of anime but it the app definitely lacks. And Funimation appears to have an issue where some shows would say it’s available in dub and sub, and so I’ve found myself extremely excited to watch an anime in sub, only to find it’s only available in dub. Absolutely disappointed with this. I’ve also seen shows on here that I’ve been excited to watch only to find that there is no episodes at all? I miss animelab. Can’t believe animelab and funimation fused to create a disappointing streaming service..Version: 2.6.2

Poor App QualityI only got this to watch DBZ, but they do have a very large selection of shows to watch - that is why I gave a 2 star rating. Although the DBZ on here is not the original version and it’s missing quite a few parts, it’s still great to watch. Content aside, this is simply not a good platform at all. If I were rating only the platform I would give it 0 stars. There are constant errors, and if you pause for more than a few minutes it crashes when you push play again. After you go back to the Home Screen and find the episode again, it starts you back a minute or 2 from where you left off. Also, the lowest forward and rewind setting are much too fast. There should be a slower option so you can go right to the parts you’re looking for. There are also additional errors and crashes that happen every so often. It’s not my internet, as I don’t have issues with any other streaming services. Funimation should not charge for this service until they fix all of these errors..Version: 2.5.1

App design is terribleNow, I’m not saying the AnimeLab app is good persay, what I am saying is the Funimation app is barely functional, especially on Apple TV. You guys should have just taken the AnimeLab app and slapped your branding on it. Apple TV Issues: 1. Navigation is buggy, not letting my browse by genre, it just doesn’t work 2. Pressing the back button exits the app instead of navigating back, there is no way to navigate back without using the side menu, resetting your place 3. When you select TV Show it highlights the filter button instead of the first show in the list 4. The Home Screen is a bunch of not particularly interesting or helpful lists of shows, not even trying to entice me to watch something new 5. Selecting a show to watch sets your cursor back to the left menu 6. Box art is all over the place, often tiny thumbnails 7. Titles are just cut off with ellipses, could be scrolling text 8. No cohesive design language 9. The settings screen is just, garbage I’ve downgraded my rating to 1-star as I am now forced to use this god-awful app..Version: 2.5.0

Fine, but should be betterFor one thing, I know that ads are important and all. But when you get 5 ads in a row, and it happens 4 times trying to watch a 20 minute anime, it’s a real pain. Another problem is that, for some series, you can find them but they won’t have any episodes available (an great example is Re:Zero). There are also times where, for some reason, episodes for a series will mostly be available in Japanese with subtitles, but randomly one or two, out of say 12, will only be available in English. I really hope that these problems get fixed. It can be a good app, and I have had a subscription for it, which does get rid of the excessive amount of ads, but it still has the other problems.Version: 2.2.2

Bad so many ads and with premium it says error cannot load like 10 times before half the episodesEven though I got premium I gotta reload each episode again and again along with the app being poorly put together compared to most other streaming services I don’t suggest using it especially if your not buying premium bc then there’s 50 ads a episode of whatever your watching along with most shows needing premium.Version: 2.6.7

Get AnimeLab team to fix your appEver since Funimation purchased AnimeLab I’ve been hoping they’d actually get that team to fix their streaming app & also update their website to allow older smart TVs access but they haven’t. I watch most of my shows on Crunchyroll now since Funimation is such a pain to use. When watching via google chromecast the app seems to load next episodes at the time stamp of the previous episode you just finished, meaning it loads it at the end credits instead of at the start of the new episode. Their website doesn’t allow older smart tv browsers to access their site either, only brand new models. Meaning you’ll need to spend a few grand just to have their app on your tv or you’ll need to use Apple TV of Google Chromecast if your smart tv is over 2years old. If they simply had the AnimeLab team to fix/update their system I feel like things would be so much better..Version: 2.5.1

Terrible App DesignThe design of this app so bad I don’t even know where to start. Very hard to do basic things. Design makes it hard to find interesting stuff on the home page (They should’ve just made the home page like what Animelab had). The genre list is missing a lot of genres (e.g. mystery) and the sort-by system is also missing a lot of options (e.g. letting us sort by top rated). Also, when watching an episode why the frigg is the skip episode button so close to the fast forward for 10 sec button? The amount of times I accidentally hit skip instead of fast forward is infuriating. I really think the design team should take a look at the app design of other streaming services. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is because surprisingly the app is easier to navigate and find shows than the website. At least on the app it is easier to filter through shows and browse. The website also lags like crazy. I know my internet is not the problem because I have absolutely no issues using my other streaming subscriptions but on Funimation it took me over 3 hours to watch a 2hr movie because I kept having to reload the page because it was lagging or just decided to stop loading altogether..Version: 2.5.0

The absolute worstUnfortunately they brought AnimeLab and completely monopolised Australian anime streaming services. It’s disgusting that you have to pay for Crunchyroll separately even though Funimation owns it. My internet speed is good yet on the PS5 with a 4K SONY TV I have to wait 20 to 40 minutes because the show stops halfway through or the quality drops to 480p. And my brother has the same issues with the Series X as well as other friends report the same issues. There are so many issues, I really wish we could all boycott but they have us at a catch 22 if you don’t watch on Funimation the only place to turn is illegal downloads or miss out completely. If the staff who owned/worked at AnimeLab see this please come back 💛.Version: 2.6.8

Desktop website is fine, app isn’tCan’t even log into the app because the password bar doesnt work??? trashy app.Version: 2.3.2

Better than I remember it but still not greatI remember trying to watch something on this app years ago and giving up not even halfway through the first episode because I was frustrated with the UI. The UI has most certainly gotten better but now a different issue frustrated me and made me stop watching not even halfway through episode 1. Look I understand if you want to watch stuff for free you gotta put up with ads. I am broke and am usually fully willing to put up with ad-breaks if it means I can watch stuff for free. But I feel like this app takes it to the next level. It felt like every 5 minutes I’d be hit with a 6 ad ad-break. Maybe I’d be able to put up with it if it was 6 ads every 10 minutes or 2 ads every 5 minutes. The thing that really annoyed me was that the ads were literally the same exact ad playing 6 times every ad-break. Hearing the same ad on loop got on my nerves and annoyed me so much I had to stop watching. There was even one point where an ad played OVER the audio for the show without pausing the show and when the ad ended I was watching a minute ahead of where the ad break started. Like I said I’m usually okay with ads (I understand they still need to make money off my freeloading) but I feel like this app just made it far too obnoxious and nearly impossible to enjoy watching anything..Version: 2.6.2

List of issuesStreaming will randomly skip a part of the download so you have to skip a second a few times an episode. Downloads very slowly compared to EVERY other video service I have used. Downloads will download with no subtitles or having them out of time by a few seconds. Painful interface. When clicking next episode will sometimes send you to a 1 minute clip of a random episode instead of what you want. These are just some of the things I have experienced in the short time I have used this. It is the worst app I have ever used, just a downgrade from anime lab. The ONLY reason to use this app would be the exclusive shows it has..Version: 2.5.1

You took away animelabAnime lab and crunchy roll were much easier to use than Funimation. This should be quick to access, easy to use and have an overall good quality. This does an alright job..Version: 2.2.2

Player needs serious updatingWatching on my computer is just pathetic. My wifi connection is fine but it will buffer then skip about fifteen seconds at a time. It takes an hour to watch a 20 minute episode and I also miss out on planet of details with how much it skips. So I figured I’d get the app to see if it’s better. While it is a bit better it’s still very outdated compared to other apps. I can’t watch it in a small window while I open another app like pretty much everything else. I also have to turn the subtitles on again every time I open the app again. I have poor hearing and watch everything with the subtitles (unless they don’t match up correctly). Every other streaming app remembers that I use subtitles and I don’t have to keep turning them back on. Also it seems to have issues loading many titles. It’s about 1/5 that I click on says they’re having trouble loading even if it’s one I watched a few weeks ago but just wanted to look at how many episodes it had. I will probably not renew my subscription after this month because the few extra titles funimation offers isn’t worth using an inferior video player..Version: 2.3.3

Have to pay for most animeI cant watch any anime without ads and it requires “premium plus” for so many anime and the ones i want to watch like my hero academia isn’t even released on Funimation and in general a pain to use it says on the my hero academia that its a demo but no episodes and when i search my hero academia it doesn’t come up if you want people to install this app I recommend getting rid of the adds in the middle of each episode or movie and just put them at the end if at all and also dont make a premium plus to watch most anime its just annoying I’ve finally started watching anime and i see this I’m dissatisfied..Version: 2.3.1

I hate this appEvery time I try to use it, it just doesn’t work. It always has issues. No matter what device I use or desktop. On the rare occasion it actually works, it doesn’t even have a lot of shows. It also automatically charged my card for a year when it had been cancelled months prior to premium ending so I’m stuck using this useless app as won’t refund me. I’m still mad about animelab merge too, couldn’t transfer my episode progress and I’ve barely watched anime since then since this horrible app ruins the experience..Version: 2.5.1

Worst streaming app there isThis app BLOWS. Can’t help but compare to crunchyroll’s convenient bottom buttons for simulcasts, my stuff, etc…where’s my queue? All in one big long Netflix-style strip with no way to see a list. On top of that, if you try to stream to Roku, chromecast, smart TV or anything like that, the app somehow loses connection with the device you’re streaming to. The show will keep playing, but the app thinks it’s at whatever time stamp it was at when you STARTED streaming to the device. So if you need to pause your show for any reason, good luck- it’s starting you over from the beginning pretty much, and you’ll have to find your place on your own. For the same reason, the app doesn’t keep track of what I’ve watched, so if I ever stop watching a show for a couple weeks and want to pick up where I left off, that’s pretty much just not possible. I have to kind of guess where I was, probably end up rewatching three episodes, getting frustrated and putting it down again. This is really infuriating because Funimation has some great content- this app is just unusable..Version: 2.4.0

Waste of timeCreated account and then had to log on web browser and change password and then change maturity lock. So much effort to watch movies. After 5 mins the app stopped working saying it was technical difficulties. Feel this app is a scam. Have messaged the developer but no response as of yet..Version: 2.6.2

Lags and takes way too long to loadI literally spend almost 15 minutes on loading time alone for one episode on this app and I never have problems like this with all my other apps that I watch anime or shows on so I’m major disappointed that I spent money for nothing and not much anime either..Version: 2.6.0

Worst streaming app I’ve ever seenFunimation is the worst streaming app I have ever seen because I want to watch a certain anime so I click then there’s a 30second app so go ok it’s not to bad I get to the end of the add and there’s another one and there’s about four adds before you can actually watch the anime and then you have to go through there introduction witch would usually take another 30 seconds but because of their terrible connection to were I live the thing lags and won’t render so you sit another 30 seconds and then you can watch your anime but in the middle of it you have another 2 ads. After wasting $80 on premium you would expect at least no ads, but then again this is Funimation so what can I expect..Version: 2.5.1

Very glitchyI like the fact that it’s free but there are too many ads and it’s glitchy.Version: 2.6.6

Good and badHi I’m writing to tell u my experience with this app Now the app is great it’s got many shows to select with a variety of different genres which is great but the bad thing is u put the anime with only 2 English episode and the rest Japanese it’s like so what was the point in u putting those two English u might as well jus made it all Japanese and there isn’t enough English anime and it pisses me of like a lot bc I will find some cool looking anime and they are flipping Japanese it’s not right man at least make it optional about what language we want bc I get maybe not everyone wants it english but some people do so jus think about that. Thank you for reading..Version: 2.6.0

EverythingDon’t get me wrong i love the app and how easy it is to use it’s got me through a lot of animes but has recently this year has had a lot of bugs unfortunately to say after reporting all my troubles Funimation has not listened and my apps not working for a long time I do want to carry on the app but with this bug of the video and animes not loading or adding to my que it’s been put down on stars overall good app to watch anime as it’s cheaper but too many bugs if it can be fixed it would be much appreciated.Version: 2.4.2

I don’t recommendI tried making an account but it didn’t work so to be honest, if you want to spend money on a good anime app, do it on Crunchyroll it’s just better.Version: 2.6.7

Go to crunchy roll instead.Got anime lab for free but wanted to upgrade to a premium subscription. Well turns out I need to use Funimation.. tried it for a couple months and it’s just a horrible streaming service. Feels like I’m watching from a pirated site. Canceled subscription because I don’t even want to open the app anymore.Version: 2.3.3

Just use CrunchyrollFunimation is such a bad app, after the switch over from animelab to funimation it's gotten much much harder to watch anime movies and series since most of the time it's on crunchyroll and when it isn't I usually just end up pirating them. Funimation has disgustingly long loading times and the shows aren't even worth watching if I have to look at a white squiggly thing twirl on my screen for 10 MINUTES before I can watch a 20 minute video. Pirating websites literally have way better loading time. And with the recent anouncement that crunchyroll has bought animelab, it is 1 billion percent better to just start using crunchyroll and buy the membership..Version: 2.6.0

Terrible..😐The only reason i gave this app an extra star was only because your app used to work before it started glitching. this all happened in less than a week after downloading. for some reason, whenever i open the app, it doesn't show any videos in my watch history. it tells me to click the top to refresh the page and nothing happens. I couldn't watch a certain anime i was catching up with and some other shows too. it didn't let me play the video and said something about "error 5." I tried reinstalling the app multiple times, and all I got was nothing. It still continued to glitch. My wifi is completely fine and it works with any other streaming app I have on my phone. I tried logging out and logging back in, just for it to say i am unable to get back into my account for some reason. I tried resetting my password for my account and it told me to retry. please fix this, it's really frustrating, and i might as well download crunchyroll instead. 🤦‍♀️.Version: 2.6.4

Shockingly badEven if you ignore the slow loading, random errors when performing actions and bad artwork aspect ratio for shows the user experience design is pretty poor, just one example - if you browse through anime by genre (Genre > Fantasy > scroll and pick an anime) you can return to the previous screen to continue browsing it forces you back to the main menu and you have to start from the start of the list. The app screams of doing the bear minimum to tick a box rather than putting effort into making something good for their users. The only good thing I can say is that once you get through the bad menus the actual streaming aspect does seem to work fine..Version: 2.5.1

Terrible appWorked well for a few days and then stopped working correctly. The app wouldn’t load video or remember what what episodes have been watched and only gives Japanese audio when English is said to be available too. I’d give 0 stars if it was possible.Version: 2.6.2

Not so goodApp keep crashing or encountering error. You have to scroll again the episodes from the start if you encountered an error. You cannot just pickup where you left off… so frustrating.Version: 2.6.8

Complete waste of moneyThis app is simply a joke and I cannot understand how a company as large as Funimation has managed to create the single worst streaming application in existence. I never thought Animelab was particularly astounding but compared to this garbage it was infinitely better. Animelab played episodes without freezing every 20 seconds, requiring me to delete and redownload the app to fix. Animelab subtitles were always in sync with the visuals. Animelab’s settings were easy to access and didn’t require visiting Funimation’s internet brower (seriously? we’re still doing this in 2022?) to adjust maturity settings. This app looks and functions like it’s a project of first year university students. I just can’t believe that something could run this poorly. Where is my subscription money even going? What’s the point in acquiring anime if the app is so rancid that I can’t watch it? I’ve been trying to watch my show for half an hour now and no matter how many times I delete the app, clear my history, whatever, I keep running into technical issues that literally prevent me from watching anything. It’s been months of this and nothing has changed. My subscription money is moving straight to Crunchyroll. Good riddance..Version: 2.5.1

Slowest app/website on the planetCan not watch anything without it lagging Tried to watch a movie it took 30 minutes to load and it still had interruptions after that, it is not my internet because crunchyroll netflix anime lab and other streaming websites all work with no interruptions, and the category's are hard to navigate..Version: 2.6.2

This was a waste of my timeTo start off every show I watch has 20-24 ads just for a 20 min show and by the time the ads finish I don’t want to watch it anymore now I can’t bring in as many points bc I have only had this for 2 days but i already hate it and remember why I deleted it in the first place and I’m only using it because I don’t have access to the show I want to watch anywhere else plus half the time it just resets my progress whoever created this app should be fired and disappointed at the disgrace of an app they have created they should have just stayed with anime lab at least the ads where good I’m deleting it as soon as I can.Version: 2.6.2

UnusableJust tried to open anime lab found out I had to use this new app. I go to log in which was its own struggle. Once I finally do I go to watch one punch man which is apparently now mature audiences only. I need to go to the website to change my settings. The website says I have to reset my password which wasn’t strong enough. So it takes for ever for the email to reset it to come through. When it does I continue this tedious process and reset my password but oh no “something went wrong and i cannot reset my password at this time”. So I guess I just can’t watch my show that I paid $50 for the year to watch. How can this app be so bad yet they purchased AnimeLab which wasn’t good but at least worked!.Version: 2.5.0

Could be betterIt's an okay app, but it would be better I everyone had access to every anime instead of only people who pay the subscription, an if it had less ads every time there is ads.Version: 2.6.8

Incredibly clunky and barely works.Opening this app is like saying a prayer. You expect the aggravating way it reverts to the sidebar menu from the Apple TV menu and having to constantly pick your preferred language because it couldn’t possibly remember that you’ve watch 15 other episodes in a different language. But it’s the streaming that kills me. Some shows just won’t load while others will. Maybe you’ll try to stream it from your phone to your second device to work around it but that also barely works. For a company whose primary focus is streaming you think they could work a little harder to provide the bare necessities..Version: 2.1.0

HopelessUseless app, trouble logging in in the app, if somehow goes through the log in process tells you you can't watch certain animes cause of mature content. Will tell you to log in on their website. Website is hopeless too. Can't even do anything besides log in.Version: 2.5.1

Policy for refund needs to be updatedSo I bought it cause I thought as advertised that they had Naruto movie 6 and 7 available but when I tried it didn’t work. Now this is the ONLY reason I bought it cause I have crunchyroll and it works for me but they don’t have those movies available in this region, so when I saw Google showed funimation had it I thought great and when you go to the app on a streaming device or my phone when I search for it the movie shows up and even allows you to click on it, it just won’t play and refers you to customer service, so I reached out and customer service says they don’t have the rights to show it anymore, fair enough so that same day I requested a refund cause I don’t need it if I can’t watch what I wanted to see, they referred me to Apple, apple always gives me back my money on purchases but they did this time and when I asked they said the developer funimation’s policy does not permit them to do so, and referred me to funimation, reached out to them and their response, because I paid through third party (Apple) they have no way to refund me. It should not be this way. That’s a full month that I still have yet to use cause I don’t want to that has done NOTHING for me.Version: 2.6.6

OmgLiterally I was on Funimation and an attic him and of course I was a little angry because I wanna continue my show but that wasn’t the thing I wanted to complain about when the ad popped up in the attic finished I cannot press out of the app so I went back to the screen press the show again and the show starts again but then another ad pops up and then happens the same literally I can’t exit out so I have to do it again so I do this about four times and then it just gives me six ads six ads and now you want me to go through around 10 and to go to a show and also why do they give you six ads for seven sometimes lake hbo or other sites give you like two and this is just an anime site hello this is an edit this is the same day I am watching these six ads literally when I wrote this it was like two minutes from now I was watching those six ads right so the six is finished and I’m like OK fine show me the show that I’m wanting to watch and then right when the show goes on it gives me another six ads so you’re telling me I have to go through more than 15 ads just to watch one show oh my God I get the site lake two stars now I’m giving it one because really trying to get my money here like oh my mother trucking God.Version: 2.6.1

Multiple problemsI managed to get a month free trail of Funimation from GAME and let me say it was rubbish. Half of the time when I tap on an anime that I want to watch that specific one says that there is a problem and that I’ve got to try again later. To counteract that I downloaded the episodes when available. Not only does your time tracking not count for downloaded episodes, the delete option is horrible. There was no indicator on how to do and and when I figured out that you had to swipe it across your screen it wouldn’t work all of the time since you would need to swipe it across the full screen. Quite difficult with a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Some of the anime that I had wanted to watch such as Boruto aren’t up to date since it is on episode 200+ and yet only has up to 50+. The demon slayer movie never wants to download for some reason. At this point you might as well just use something else like Crunchyroll and only go to Funimation for the exclusives..Version: 2.2.2

Terrible AppDoes not even have basic features like skipping the intro is slow and buggy and the UI is just generally awful Please just let us continue to use the Animelab app as that was really good will not be renewing my subscription and go back to pirating anime cause of this.Version: 2.4.2

Catalogue is fine but app is aggressively terribleThe catalogue has lots of good shows. But the app itself is just so incredibly awful to use that if doubt I’ll ever use it for anything other than shows I REALLY want to watch and have no alternative. UI is full of jank and weird interactions, slow loading. Shows take longer than you’d think to actually play at full resolution. Sometimes on the TV app it’ll just refuse to play in a certain language. You have the skip right to the end of an episode for it to acknowledge that you’ve finished it. The list just goes on. AnimeLab was fantastic and Funimation is abysmal in comparison and doesn’t appear to be getting any better with time..Version: 2.5.1

Literally no other optionLets be honest with ourselves, nobody wanted to use this app. Not one person wants this on their phone. We use it because there is literally no other legal option for a lot of these shows. But don’t worry Funimation, at the rate you’re going you’re going to start a brand new pirate era.Version: 2.6.9

OK app but lots of room for improvementNote this is review of app not if the service as the range of content is very good. I just find the controls and the features of the app are somewhat lacking. I won’t do Picture in Picture so you can’t open other apps on the iPad nor even browser other shows while still watching. Also it seems to have a poor memory. I you jump out briefly to check another app often it has jumped back to the main screen not the video you were watching. Another issue is lack of profiles, if more than one person in a household it won’t keep separate track of the shows you have watched..Version: 2.1.0
