Not worth it! Just don’t bother 1/5
By Review guy 467
Tried it for 8 months off & on. It’s basic, boring, & no search option. If you see they haven’t updated this in a year. All you do is scroll down and when you read a article the design is bland. I suggest for news just to there website at least you can do all the stuff there. Search, something other than scroll down, the articles look nicer to read, & leave comments. If I could I give this app -10 stars for being this boring & bland.
This review will generate money 1/5
By Neon Dracula
What a lame app. Can’t comment, can’t share the stories and no categories for anything. Probably the worst app I’ve ever used as far as having some sort of expectations. If any staff reads this can you actually cut and paste it and send it to the boss. 🧠🔥💨.
Quit working on my phone 1/5
By jb75555
Constant problems. Won’t connect to network and update. Every other app works on my phone except this one. Have tried to reinstall multiple times.
Now, if the app would just keep working... 1/5
By NOT_an_iPhone_addict
Normally I like this app a lot. But, every few months the app stops being able to find the network or servers or something. I then wait weeks or months until it starts working again. This happens on my old iPad, new iPad and my iPhone, oddly at the exact same time.
Come on folks, make this just a bit more robust, or at least tell the user what is going wrong!
No way to search 2/5
By TruckingCub79
Needs a search feature to look up what you want
App sudden crashes 2/5
By XiongzZle
App suddenly crashes and never load maybe need new updates now
Crashes with new IOS update 1/5
By Not now I'm eating
Refuses to run on new IOS update.
Horrible! 1/5
By Scourgey-ouo
All you can do on this app is scroll up and down. There is not even a search bar to give you the option to see news you really want to see. Please fix this!
Hmmm.. 2/5
By GS451
I’m disappointed in the cap on the number of articles you can load on the app at a time, and I really feel like there needs to be a search button so I could see if I missed any news about my favorite anime. Like many, I feel like the news app should have been a part of the main Crunchyroll app :(
It works now 4/5
By Tazinda
Yay they fixed it
Decent daily news feed 4/5
By StarKat98
There’s no bells or whistles, but it gives me the latest crunchyroll news in descending order. Would be great if there were indications of what I’ve already read, filters for news vs opinion pieces, targeted alerts or any kind of search feature. Still, the layout beats their mobile site.
Unusable 1/5
By Number 08
False network errors or crashes, I cannot use the app. please fix!
Broken 1/5
By Dmanm
This app appears to no longer work, will not load on devices with updated os.
Should be in Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation.... 4/5
By V.143
This app should definitely be in Crunchyroll. I was surprised when I saw it as a separate app and think it’s a bit unusual to have a whole separate thing dedicated to news. You should put this in Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation, etc. it would be a lot more convenient although it does allow me to keep up with the latest anime news from you guys. Please integrate this with your mainstream apps. It would make this easier to find and create more of a “community” feel inside your streaming services.
Cool but not working 1/5
By Jazz 2498
This app doesn’t seem to work. Both on my iPad and iPhone the app gets confused asking if I’m connected to the internet despite clearly being connected. Then it just keeps trying to load but never puts something up.
App not working since mid-July? 2/5
By adwt23
The app keeps thinking that I am not connected to the internet but both my phone and the app appear to be up to date.
App is broken 1/5
By ElgrinFau
It hasn’t worked for a few days now. It keeps asking if I’m connected to a network (which I am), and I’ve tried it in multiple locations with working WiFi so I know it’s the app and not my phone. Please fix this soon!
Feed broken mid-July? 1/5
By James L K
Basically hasn’t worked since July 16, 2018 or so... keeps thinking I’m not connected to Internet. I’ll bet they changed their news feed format slightly and broke this app.
Great news site on Anime and Manga 4/5
By GeorgeP
Only down side is it could use more functionality e.g., search, link for mailing article, and quick scroll to top. Some “bugs” include auto image blow up when highlighting text and no full screen video playback.
These quibbles aside, the news and reviews are good and for non-Japanese audience pretty current and wide ranging.
Really??!! 2/5
By Building management
I can only scroll up and down. Can’t post a story on social media, I can’t find story, can’t do anything but scroll up and down
Halfassed 2/5
By Chris Pike
Just use the web site. The app front page doesn't even do landscape mode.
Needs search option 3/5
By Jarrbear'?
It looks nice, but the functionality is great. All you can do is scroll down basically. It would be nice if you could search topics. Try it out for yourself to see if you agree.
Don't listen to some stuff on crunchyroll news 1/5
By Lil billy's school ipod
I heard from them that bleach was coming back and that it's airing tomorrow well it turns out that was a lie it's not airing tomorrow and they don't have the post up anymore
Great app but.... 5/5
By 1368953798435
Great app but now when i try to open it, it just crashes.

By GodarXtreme
The app is really good. But, it is not working for me right now.. it keeps crashing when I press the app. Fix this
Excellent but problems 4/5
By Oblivion-36
I am a long time user of this app and find it to be an extraordinary source of anime information. However I have recently encounter a problem with this version of the app. Upon opening it will crash immediately. I look foreword to a update.
App Crashes upon launching 1/5
By Trill Collin$
My app keeps crashing at launch. Use this app daily and its amazing. Please fix this. I've uninstalled and reinstalled still didn't fix the issue. Please help. Will 5 star once fixed.
Content update and App Update 5/5
By Ej2k7
I love the app , and how it keeps anime information up to date to ket me know whats going on , however i writing the review hopefully so that you guys read this and update the app. Its been a while and the Crunchyroll app just recently got updated so i think the news app should as well to support the new software. But love the app and the company keep it up Crunchyroll!!
Please 5/5
By Fxiyrcoyvñiyvout
Porfavor lo podrían poner también en español y
Great 5/5
By jandk4never
Love it
Useless news app 2/5
By falco233
I don't want to come off as harsh, but what it kill for CR to update this app with a comment feature or something worthwhile? Instead you have to go to there web browser and do that stuff. So it's pretty obvious that there intentionally doing this so everyone visits there website to engage with there merchandise and what not or I could be wrong. Oh well.
Best anime news app 5/5
By Batmayne420
5star app
Needs Comments 4/5
By Lakku
I like the app since I can access it far easier than the website. It's fast and usually works well. There are times when formatting is an issue but that is somewhat rare. However, the one glaring omission in the app is lack of comments. We want comments! That would probably allow me to give it five stars since I can't rate 4.5.
Update: They fixed the app not working or posting anything. Back to 4 stars.
This app is like plying the lottery 2/5
By Theonlyhi
ok this app is nice when it works. it keeps you up to date with your favorite manga and anime news.The downside is that it hardly works. Even if you have full LTE bars, it won't load and just ask you if you are connected to the Internet
Connection ?! 5/5
By Infernodemonlisher
I've been using this app for about a year. A day when I tried to use it, it kept saying r u 'connected to ur internet?' When I'm perfectly connected to it. The other problem is that the page won't load.
Pls fix. :...
Great App 5/5
By Dayze...
Hasn't been working for the past 2 days :/ great app tho
App doesn't work anymore 1/5
By U.S.A one piece fan
For at least a week now the app never loads and it isn't because of my phone or connection because all my other apps work perfectly fine. Please fix the issue I hate not being updated on anime and manga news
Fails under iOS 8.3 1/5
By Virote328
I upgraded from 8.1 to 8.3 and now it claimed I have no internet no matter what. But when it WAS working I think this app is cool that you get recent events but without a search, it fails as a modern day news app.
Enjoy the News But Would Like Sharing Options 3/5
By TenshiNekogirl
I enjoy getting to scroll through the news on app versus the browser, but if there is an article I want to share, I can't. :(
So to share the article if I wanted to, I have to exit the app, get onto browser version of crunchyroll, find the article again, and then share from there.
Just would like to have the convenience from sharing within the app.
Needs a little improvement 4/5
By Hhifjf123336
I love the idea of being able to keep up to date on my phone, but it would be nice to be able to read what the community thinks of it and also it would be nice to comment.
Ok App could use some more 3/5
By C-Money801
The app is pretty nice. One of the better anime news apps since it even covers some western stuff. The links are little too sensitive. I keep accidentally opening pictures and videos. The app is also pretty bare bones not having a comment section and no search functionality. A save article for later function would be nice too.
Crashes 3/5
By Dave7786
Loved the app till recently when it just started crashing on startup
Needs to be fix 1/5
By wheres_polo
Since the DDoS attack the app just keeps crashing as soon as I open it please fix this
App is great for keeping up to date 5/5
By Jackkillyou
This app keeps one up to date on any anime, manga, music, and video game news that deals with Japan. It really is an awesome source of info that you would have a hard time finding elsewhere. Just recently the app stared crashing constantly but it started crashing at the same time there was a ddos attack on crunchy roll in which all crunchy roll apps quit working so they are not really to blame for the app's crashing. Definitely a five star app.
Great! 2/5
By Duke of wolves
This is one of the best apps to keep up to date with what's happening in the anime world. Every big activity is listed in this app. It even lists some of those most minute activities that many aren't that interested in.
It would have received 4 or 5 stars but recently the app has been crashing at the activation. I have tried restarting my phone and deleting and reinstalling the app. If fixed I'll review the app again well, if not well I'm afraid that my review will stay.
Never starts up crashes!!!!! 1/5
By Disgruntled20013
Needs major fixing!!!
