1. Auto play next episode doesnt work. 2. Unless English is the only language available, it does not automatically Cast in English even though it plays in English on your phone. If you connect to GoogleCast first then play the episode, it will play in Japanese and say there are no audio files so you can't change it. In order to Cast in English you have to start the episode on your phone FIRST, then Cast. 3. Because auto play next doesnt work, after every episode you have to disconnect the Cast, start playing the next episode on your phone, then reconnect the cast. 4. Progress in an episode isnt always tracked when watched via Casting. 5. We should get notifications when new episodes are added to shows in our Queue. 6. Add a "SimulCast" tab like the "SimulDub" tab.

**Update** I was able to download a third party screen rotating app to resolve issue but it would be awesome if this was a native feature. I love my anime and I like supporting producers, developers, & distributors for apps such as Funimation. The only issue that I'm having with the FUNimation app on across all of my devices, whether it may be phone or tablet, is that the rotation (landscape) can only be used in new direction. If I were to do a 180 for my device to view the content then that said content would be upside-down, not rearranging itself accordingly. Thanks for fixing hd casting with Chromecast though!

Sure would love it if I was able to was MA shows. But guess who can't find the change mature setting thing? Me! And guess who hasn't been told how to do it? Me! I'm sure it's a great app, but seriously? You can't add an easy way to fix your settings so you can watch MA shows?

by N####:

Started out awesome, I saw none of the issues I noted in many other reviews. However, after just a few episodes the video has begun to pause, skip and repeat small segments almost constantly. I have restarted the app and my device with no success, as well as ensuring that this is the only app running. Not sure what else I can do.

C70%
by C####:

The app used to be so much better when it didn't seem to exclusively favor the dub watchers. I prefer my anime in Japanese with subs but now I have to struggle to change all my shows out of dubbed. I noted this problem awhile ago not only for the phone app but also the Playstation version of the app too. I have the paid membership and love the shows but please make it more user friendly again for us non-dub fans.

This app is great, but it keeps pausing every few minutes it's not buffering or anything, theres just glitches. Other than that, I wish they could make a feature that lets you make a watch schedule for the week instead of binge watching. That'd be awesome

by Y####:

Anime constantly lags out and skips backwards regardless of the internet connection. The app eats through data so fast it's not funny even on the lowest graphical quality. Major issues attempting to sign up with 3 different credit cards tried. It's just not worth the headache there are far better sites and apps out there.

F70%
by F####:

Overall this is a pretty good App and great for finding high quality English Dubs of some great shows. However, the in app video player has major buffering issues, I've never had problems like this with any other video content app, its pretty bizzare. I've also encountered a bug that freezes the video and plays back the last few seconds of audio until it catches up with the image. So until they fix the main thing this app is used for its pretty much useless.

M70%
by M####:

Worst app ever, if i cast it to chromecast i have to look for the next episode because the app doesnt have autoplay nor next episode buttom. The videos keep freezing while watching it on the phone unless i cast it. Also the app video quality is crappy since it wont let you get 1080p without the video stopping every 30 seconds. I never have that problem with hulu netflix or crunchyroll

It wouldn't take much to make this keyboard/remote friendly for Android TV box usable, but they couldn't spare the few minutes it'd take, so unless you have mouse capabilities on your Android TV box, this app will not work. It doesn't even accept key shortcuts for your basic playback functionality (pause, ff, rew, etc). It only gets 3 stars because as a phone/tablet app, it's acceptable.

Y70%
by Y####:

The most current version of the app will not load videos. It will not load lists, and randomly drops episodes. If you pull up a show there might only be few episodes available. In completely​ random order. For example some shows will say they only had episode 3-5, then 11 available, or basic basically​ any arbitrary number. When all episodes are present on the website.

I use it on my Roku for a year now & loved it but the new upgrade sucks. Everything takes too long to load & it constantly freezes up after 2 episodes,that I have to hit the reset button on my roku & then wait for the whole thing to load up again. I try to add shows to my queue but it usually doesnt work. I use to use it everyday now I have to b really jonesing for some anime to use the app on my roku. Very annoyed. 2 big fat thumbs down. And I pay monthly for this crap..

Q70%
by Q####:

Quite often when using chromecast it is very buggy. It doesn't automatically play next episode so I have go into list and find it. I could live with that except it the bugs out and even though next episode is playing on TV it won't show me that episode in controls... Very obnoxious I tend to skip the long intros of Anime and now not possible. On one piece there is also like minutes of recap I wanna skip... Please fix

The app only gives you 14 day's to think about keeping the site..... that means 80%of the people are paid members. So why is that a 24-30 min episode take an hour to watch due to all the repeating buffering and glitches! Can you guys not afford a Better streaming system for us......! ill give them one month to fix after that DELETE!

by Y####:

Only can get a free trial and then after the unlimited time is over. If I wanted to watch anything more, will have to be pay for what I want of it. Not exactly what I would called this a ""FREE" app because it costed money just to watch one! (very upseting and disapointing)

I expect better from funimation. This app freeze up so much it is constantly buffing. This is where we go to get our anime and they charge us for this horrible app plus I can't log in on roku because the space to enter the email do not have enough space to that. Fix it Funimation!

Please fix the constant hanging, sound lagging, and out of sync chunks. I watch for 30 seconds and the picture freezes, the previous sound chunk plays over again, then the whole thing hangs for a sec before syncing back up. This happens several times per episode on a high speed internet connection. The content is great. Please fix the app.

Everyone else seems to have problems with the app, but I quite like it. Works just fine on my Pixel (aside from short moments of low video quality, which is probably due to the wireless network). This app is my favorite, and I consistently choose it over Crunchyroll (which is good too).

Y70%
by Y####:

Good shows to pick from. But please fix the captions. It doesn't even save what caption options you choose, so you have to change them for each episode. The online website also sucks. Everytime you go to fullscreen the bottom play bar does not dissappear. Therefore making the subtitles dim and hard to read. This is so simple to fix and you can't even get it right.

Lots of bugs with the mobile app. I use it on my tablet. But the one thing that really bugs me is the lack of freedom with the app. My tablet cover has a folding stand for different angles and requires flipping the device orientation 180°. I use one angle more than all the others. However, the mobile app is fixed to one single orientation, making it difficult and annoying to watch. Crunchyroll got the mobile app right, maybe funimation could learn a thing or two from them.

Forced to subscribe Bad User interface, Chormecast support is there but at a really low resolution. Videos DO NOT ROTATE. Very good customizable captions BUT Does not save, forcing you to customize them every time. Only way to support/watch official Anime Dub

Y70%
by Y####:

The app for me has some issue. It doesn't keep my settings all the time. I look for specifily anime that has subs and the original japanese. But it always give me the dub version instead of what I put my settings to. Also I'm having trouble on both the website and the app. For some reason I can't watch season 2 of attack on titans. I don't know why. I wish for these issues to be fixed. Special cause I travel a lot and depend on my apps for entertainment. It's suck that I pay for this and can't use it as I wanted to. This is an update on my review. I have cancelled my subscription service but I'm still get in charged after two months of canceling. Don't go to them for anime needs.

Y70%
by Y####:

The app is great I can watch my favorite anime in English sub and dub. And I like how the phone app let's you choose to sign up or it will say not now and I can watch anime with ads, my opinion is it would be better if it allowed you to do the same for console.

F70%
by F####:

Had the Wi-Fi only option turned on and it still used up all my data for the month in under 2 hours. What's the point of the option if it doesn't stop when your Wi-Fi cuts out. I'm very upset.

Y70%
by Y####:

Really think it could be better, wether on my phone or ps4 either episodes don't play or there is always an error. They have stated they are aware of these issues when i emailed them amd im sure there arw trying, but this is so frustrating especially when you pay for it. I would suggest features to add but just being able to use it would be better instead. When it works the picture is amazing and sound quality is also on par, but thats when it does. I might have to drop my sub until its fixed. PS crunchy roll is not any better.

Y70%
by Y####:

All I wanted was to watch My Hero Academia, and at first the app seemed good. Finished the first season just fine. Then, for whatever reason the app bugged and I could only see the extras, which are saved for the premium viewers anyways! Now I can't do the only thing I was using the app for, so it has no worth to me.

T70%
by T####:

Works pretty well. My only issue function wise is that the app doesn't allow the screen to flip/reorient itself. This is pretty annoying on my tablet​ because my case has a kickstand that works on the opposite side from the one this app uses. Also, the lack of downloading for offline play is pretty disappointing. Netflix, Amazon video, even YouTube's paid service let you download videos to save your data.

S70%
by S####:

Good service, good shows, and the Simulcast dubs are here. My only problem is that the streaming settings do not work. I set it to low while using my cellular data and it took 600 MB for a DBZ episode. It didn't work at all. Fix this and I'll give a five star rating.

Y70%
by Y####:

Will not cast (chrome cast) at 1080p resolution! This is a SIGNIFICANT issue! Please fix this ASAP!!!!! I don't have this issue with any of my other streaming applications! If this cannot be resolved it will result in the cancellation of my subscription. I'm already browsing for other anime streaming options. If anyone has any other suggestions they will be greatly appreciated >:(

P70%
by P####:

The streaming service itself is great but the app has many issues. The video often freezes up and then replays the last few seconds of audio until it catches up. The video also sometimes fails to start until you back out and reopen. Will probably be unsubscribing after I finish the series I'm watching.

Y70%
by Y####:

It's kind of annoying to use. It says that it gives you the best English Dub, but I can't find any. And, it keeps freezing so I have to wait about a minute or two for it to unfreeze. It's extremely annoying and inconvenient.

Y70%
by Y####:

It was great at first until the last update but now every time I try to watch it buffers every few seconds, regardless of my internet connection. It will skip backwards slightly. I pay like $6 a month for this could you be bothered to fix it. I'll have to unsubscribe if not because it makes it near impossible to watch.

Y70%
by Y####:

Dont waste your time. Worst streaming app available. I like supporting content creators(premium subscriber) but this is a joke. Can't change video quality settings(setting buttons are there but appear to do nothing), almost zero cast compatibility, constantly buffering or just freezing to replay last 10s audio over a frozen image. Just horrible all over, not that your website is much better either. Fix your product or like me people will seriously contemplate dropping and going elsewhere. If I could give it zero I would.

J70%
by J####:

There is lots of long load times, it's hard to find what you might want to watch, and it's a small selection of anime to watch compared to over web sites. Directed more for younger people and what's "popular" now.

Y70%
by Y####:

This app has a very polished look. Over all astetics are a 10 however in functionality there are issues. For starters there is no next video like on the website. And second being my main complaint. There are buffer issues. Nothing to do with my connection or phone as the website runs smoothly and my phone is the Samsung s7 so if my processor is lagging this app is far too demanding. Don't download this app. It's far better to run in browser even on mobile.

A70%
by A####:

Not sure if it's just my internet, but I have a problem with the shows sometimes pausing in the middle of an episode for up to 30 seconds at a time. It doesnt happen too often, just once every couple of videos, but quite annoying when it does happen. Other than that the app is great and easy to use.

Y70%
by Y####:

Is anyone else having problems logging in to the app on mobile or any devices? Update: My credit card is declined as invalid. I have enough funds to cover the monthly subscription fee but the site refuses to accept my card. Anyone else having problems similar to my own?

N70%
by N####:

Garbage, I would click into a vid and see a black screen and just wait, it doesn't even have most GOOD anime's. At least put more popular ones in

Y70%
by Y####:

This is a great app, but it does have a few problems like how an episode says it has both the english and japanese​ languages, and it only plays one or the other in between the seasons. Besides that, the app never had to buffer and there was no lag. The quality was awesome too. I just wish the language thing was fixed, then I could rate this as 5 stars.

Y70%
by Y####:

tl;dr: great shows in crappy application. Full review: The content can be great but the app itself is terrible. Subtitles/captions are not automatically displayed if you watch the content in the original language and what's worse is that when the show advances to the next episode this gets reset. Casting to Chromecast is appallingly bad as well, with the content set to High quality in the app and 1080p in the website it gets rendered at 320p on the tv making videos like Attack on Titan be a very crappy experience.
