Reviews for Crunchyroll

I’ve had an account for a few years now. It’s a great service, interface design, and large library. Recently they started playing ads. I pay for a fan subscription. That is the highest subscription. I expect no ads. Keep that for the lesser subscriptions. I can’t even skip them like I can on my mobile […]

Has most of the anime you want. Occasional censoring, subpar translations, slowing, and/or freezing are frustrating and happen way too often. The search is suboptimal, to say the least. I’ve used it for years because I want to support anime, but with no real significant improvements to the experience, make paying the monthly really hard […]

non-skippable ads with premium! this legit started today, while I was used to the occasional ad for other show, they were at least able to be skipped. now it’s the same content, but the ads aren’t able to be skipped and are in the middle of my episodes, I fast forwarded though the episodes and […]

i use the app on Fire TV, and my main complaint is that the ads are so broken. I used to have premium but money is hard right now. Sometimes the app crashes and I have to restart my episode, but it doesnt save where i left off. So the app plays ads first, then […]

They play ads- “previews” for other shows- before most episodes, even if you pay. They also just changed the app to be worse with its UI, pushing their useless games section to the top and making it way more of a pain to add series to your watchlist. App and service has actively been getting […]

The app has been making some good improvements lately, but please, let us use our SD card storage for downloaded episodes. Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video let you download episodes to your device’s SD card, so why can’t this app do the same? Please make it finally happen. That’s all that’s missing for me, and […]

I have been a member of Crunchyroll since late 2008 so here are my thoughts. Positive: – More anime content than any other service. Notably, you can expect 40-60 nearly simulcast shows every quarter. App is also pretty clean and easy to use, and 7.99 USD monthly is a great price. Negative -There have been […]

Words can’t explain how mad I am with this app, but I’ll give it a shot. There are around 7 shows you can watch without forking over an absolutely insane amount of hard-earned cash, but the ones you can watch are almost always in Japanese. When you watch said shows, the subtitles turn off every […]

They’ve fixed the most annoying bugs. Now they need to fix the “continue watching” and to list what language episodes are dubbed in without having to click on the episode because the second it plays for lodges it FIRMLY in your “continue watching,” and you can only select BY EPISODE that you’ve watched it, to […]

It’s got a great collection of shows, and the quality is good even on the free ad tier. Only problem is the ads themselves. They’re quite long and intrusive, but that’s not the real problem; I’ll accept that since it’s the free tier. What’s really annoying is often the ads just don’t load, so my […]

Great anime selection, and the cost isn’t bad, even if I perfered when it was just funimation. However, when you pay for no ads, you should get NO ads. You will have pop-ups for new shows and a skipable preview for a different anime at the start of your session. There is no way to […]

Keeps saying no network, but I’m fully connected to network and wifi and internet. Crunchyroll, please fix your end. My end is fine. I’ve been getting annoyed getting the notification in the middle of watching anime. I hate interruptions. If this does not get fixed, I’m going somewhere else. I have a subscription, and I’m […]

ah wtv, im starting to get tired of your overpriced and not working app, for that much as a subscription why are the updated episodes are always late, and shows pop on on newly added but there are no new episodes, or impossible to see what was added, if that keeps happening again ill rather […]

The streaming service side of the app is nice. I don’t have any real complaints, I currently have the mega fan subscription and I’d say it’s worth the price for how often I watch, shop, and how many people use my account. As for the shop side of the app, it SUCKS. It’s so sketchy, […]

It works. Nice selection. However, there is a ton of movies and shows that are not available on crunchyroll. I would like the option to save a profile to a device rather than having to choose my profile every time I open the app. Or an option to open a specific profile as a default. […]

This app is tanking. First they add ads for other anime to every episode I open even on premium, then they use AI for subtitles, and now we get bad subtitle typesetting that is harder to read. In response to the Crunchyroll app reply, that doesn’t fix the annoying recommendation when I start a show. […]

I’ve been watching attack on Titan on this app perfectly fine. but once I got to season 1 episode 27, I couldn’t play it. or literally any other episode of any other TV show. the constant 403 connection issue, supposedly. even though literally any other video playing program on my phone works perfectly fine. so […]

way too many ads for nob paying users unless you watch on laptop. otherwise, prices aren’t bad, so three stars. getting three ad breaks per episode, and 6 ads per ad break, as well as each ad being 30s to 120s is too much, and if the app crashes, I have to rewatch all thise […]

This review has been changed from 5 stars due to a change in the platform. I am a PAYING subscriber. And I don’t even have the lowest tier available. So you WILL be removing the forced ad at the beginning of every new episode I watch. I don’t pay for Crunchyroll WITH ads, so stop […]

Okay selection. it has the majority of shows you’d want to watch. My only issues are 1) it constantly freezes up on me. I’ll have to close the app out or I won’t be able to select anything 2) sometimes the audio/subtitles won’t work. ex: it’ll play Spanish when I have English selected. and 3) […]
