Horrible viewing experience 1/5
By Wojty
In the free version, ads constantly play over one another, back to back, and otherwise at random times.
So I gave the free premium trial for a month a shot. Now I just have constant buffering with no helpful playback. Maybe watching the endless ads was better.
Keeps buffering. 1/5
By Kevinsito El Finito.
I have an iPhone and I stream in to my tv. And I have pretty good internet, it keeps buffering. I watch roughly 20-30 seconds then it would buffer and then it’ll proceed again. It’s very irritating because it’s a 15 mins show turning into a 25 mins show.
Amazing, better than CrunchyRoll! 5/5
By Ofnjd enka sjdnsn sndndhdbd
This is better than CrunchyRoll itself. Its just better because of the lack of ADs, the amazing quality, and more anime options! Why its better is because it’s up to date. The theme is subtle and modern and not depressing unlike boring old CR.. its better because it finds ways to expand its experience, such as a large variety of profile pictures which CR is missing, more unique usernames and it shows all of the new comments unlike CR which shows comments from 9 YEARS AGO.. so yes. VRV is just better.
😪 1/5
By Chilling it
Can’t watch anime like you used to for free you have to have premium to watch anime the app was good but now it’s not thanks VRV for wasting everyone’s time
Peor cada vez que actualizan 2/5
By mkjbvty
Antes eran solo 3 anuncios ahora hay más de 6 la experiencia al ver el anime es peor lamentable la verdad
There is to much ads 1/5
By y the ads
There is too much ads and I can’t get to finish my show I was starting to like yall I had 5 ads in a row
Ok but... 5/5
By BBrian48
I need this app to have picture-in-picture mode.
There's no way youtube finally did this and you guys have not.
Wasn’t able to watch a single episode 1/5
By ajhdhan
Support for casting to a tv is terrible. Which is all I really use. I was required to watch about 7.5 minutes of ads that kept resetting just to watch maybe 4-5 minutes of a show and then back to adds, usually at least 2-3 sets of 90 seconds a piece. At this point it’s about 60-70% ads during an hour of trying to watch a 20 minute show.
No funimation Anime 3/5
By Phatboymari
The crossover between chrunchyroll nd funimation happened months ago and it still isnt on there nd the fact that yall havent had a update in 7 months proves that
Not much reason to get it now 2/5
By Mehappyfart
This used to be my favorite streaming app. It was a steal! With cation hangover, boomerang, rooster teeth, HIDIVE, Crunchyroll, and more all in one subscription package it was easily the most convenient deal for me. However since losing the majority of their big channels last year the app has lost its luster. Only channels are vrv premium, crunchy roll, and mondo. Mondo is one I have never used. Soooo why am I still subscribed? At this point it’s the same price as a Crunchyroll app and I prefer vrv’s app. That’s it. Save your time and wait for vrv to add content or go sub to Crunchyroll and get basically everything this app has to offer anyways.
Question 4/5
By Vsjsne wiepdnsbbsndhd
Is there a free trial for not premium members, or is it free if you’re not a member?
A buggy unusable mess 1/5
By NickyH225
Who thought 5 ads 3 times a episode was a good thing and the break so often and imma not going to pay for such a malfunctioning app
Apple TV app crashes during commercials 1/5
By Buckeye in Pac-12 country
Used to love the app, but now episodes stop playing once it reaches the commercial break. Even reinstalling the app doesn’t fix it.
Very annoyed 1/5
By Swaggcottoncandy5
This app use to be amazing as the Crunchyroll app it’s self never worked on my TV so I switched to VRV as it seemed to work a lot better up until now, it is truly frustrating. Every day I get logged out of my account saying “your session expired. you were automatically logged out” it has never happened and it hasn’t even been a fully day since I used the app and it logged me out and it’s hard typing a long email on my tv remote, and also when a series has multiple versions like sub and dub and even season 2 and movies it doesn’t give the full title so I literally have to play a guessing game most the times if it’s subbed or dubbed and even on my phone is does that not just my tv, I am extremely upset that Funimation is going away because Funimation will always be better and work better for my TV, I am very disappointed and speaking off the sun and dub thing I specific series that was on Crunchyroll has the series dubbed but when it came to the VRV app it wasn’t even there I went through 5 different episodes to find dubbed to only find out there isn’t a dubbed season on VRV and yet it’s on Crunchyroll (I’ll just be going to Funimation anyways)
Favorite app but… 5/5
By Kiddjuts
I enjoy this app so much the only small change I’d do to it would be the option to remove a series off the watchlist, ty.
Love this app! But…. 5/5
By love app but.....
I love this but it gives adds which you have to watch to go to the next scene which is ok ig but…… for some animes you have to be premium in which you have to pay for like any other app overall i would give this a 5 review because of the animes they have. I love this app!
Good 5/5
By g o o e
Good
Forced Subscription 1/5
By MrOtaku101
I really enjoyed using the app up until they started forcing you to pay an subscription to watch anime. I was fine with the ads on the videos if you didn’t have the subscription but now they only release three episodes to get you invested in a series and you have to pay if you want to see the rest. I thought VRV was a place everyone could come to enjoy anime and forget about their problems but now you can’t even enjoy the anime on their site unless you have the money to pay the subscription.
3 or 2 ads in one 4/5
By Heaven Olivia
Every time I use VRV they have 3 or 2 ads in one and that annoying me really bad
I really love the app but suddenly I cannot use my phone 5/5
By Not fun a higher levels
My phone suddenly stopped playing any shows over while using my 5G/4g only. I check all settings and everything is set up to use cell data. What happened? I work in Tech Support for my cell phone company for 6 years and know it is not the cell service or incorrect settings. Do you know what changed in the last few weeks? Please fix, thank you! Still love the app when it works like my tv and tablet have no issues. Thank you!
Nice service with horrible apps on every platform 2/5
By ItzJayBay
The streaming service itself has some good content but the apps are horrible on EVERY platform from apple to fire stick and smart tv.
It logs you off every few days so typing in your login and password becomes a minor yet frequent annoyance on iPhone, but a MAJOR one on smart tv and streaming sticks. Imagine having to type that stuff in almost 2-3x a week. To make it worse, there’s no easy way to “login from phone or computer” that would make it easier. No “type in the activation code or log in on your phone to activate” like all the big streaming services. Organization of content also leaves much to be desired.
I’ll switch to crunchy roll which EASILY allows you to login if you get logged out, for the same price with the same anime content.
Ad breaks cause issues with playback 1/5
By toulage mcgoulager
App rating is not based on the service content, but rather the quality of service.
- The quality of service during ad breaks is very poor.
- Ease of navigation is mediocre.
- Suggested content is often unrelated to user preference.
- Overall experience leaves much to be desired.
As compared with other, more functionally sound streaming services, VRV has a very different user interface, preventing ease of use for crossover users.
I have used various streaming apps and can attest that VRV is by far the very worst of them all.
They won’t take my money 3/5
By B7s6
The service is great. The only problem is that I am trying to buy the premium, and it refuses to load the place to put in my credit card information. Not just in the app mins you. But on Xbox, PlayStation, computer, and even on the smart tv. LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY SO I DONT HAVE TO WATCH ADS FOR CMS PROPERTIES
So much ads 3/5
By H2OSaucay
It’s a grate thing to watch anime shows but there is to much ads it kinda gets annoying tho you would have to watch 3 ads for a little while and you only get to watch the episode for a few minutes and then it plays a other ad and you only get to watch the show for like 9 or 7 mins before it shows a ad
Signing out issues 1/5
By Raellex
Please fix your stupid auto signing out issues, it’s a pain for people that want to use the download feature because when we get signed out all the downloads are lost
Need to get up to speed; Ads are a drag!! 2/5
By Iamjlong
The VRV app needs an Apple TV app update. When the adverts are attempting to load during the show, the app will cut out and return to the show’s episode selection rather than continue playing.
Big binge small adds 5/5
By ninjadode
All of my first 5 minted I got 6 adds compared to Funimation with 30 adds
Sometimes keeps showing same ad 3/5
By CreamCat!
The app is pretty good, and I think the amount of ads is reasonable (it’s less than the amount cable tv has). However, vrv will sometimes show the same ad over and over again. I just had the same ad for cranberries five times in a row. About a week ago, over 10 episodes there was 30 ads, with over 25 of them being the same add for cross worlds. It’s counterintuitive to show one ad that much, since it just makes people annoyed at whatever company is advertising. It also makes me want to stop watching things on vrv, because I get sick of seeing the same ad ten times in a row.
Better platform than Crunchyroll 5/5
By TROLOLOL..TLORELO
They’re both the same company just different names. BUT, personally, I prefer VRV due to the fact that everything is more organized with commenting, finding/watching shows, and much more. I’ll continue using this app till they shut it down (hopefully they don't)
Stop logging me out 2/5
By elpinchecholito
I really enjoy this app, I’m even a premium member but it’s so annoying when i have to keep logging in I’m just trying to watch my anime on my lunch breaks or whatever and i have to keep logging in maybe add a “remember me” option?
censure 2/5
By mannhvfcfvhunhgtrdftghunuy
Put more uncensored anime in there then I will use the add and many other people
Long Term Problems 1/5
By Nora Hayloft
The format of the seasons repeating itself many times over for the different subs and dubs is horrendous to navigate, just put an option in the video player to change the language while you are watching like literally every other video service. If you really wanna lock language behind a subscription you could still block access to the option, but it would make everything a whole lot cleaner. Ads themselves have always been buggy and you have no idea how aggravating it is to watch the same ad 50 times in a single hour. I am also disappointed in the recent shift towards members only for the newer animes. I wish I could stick with VRV but the services problems have only grown over the years and have never once been fixed.
Log out constantly. 1/5
By SunshineBunny74
It used to be a decent app until about a month ago. Now it logs you out all the time. Even if you go back on the same day. I’m not sure why I even have this anymore. It was nice when it had hidive and boomerang but it has none of those anymore. Just crunchyroll. I’m assuming Sony will cut this off soon and hopefully come out with a decent app.
Unnecessary “feature” 3/5
By ephellon
I like the app and the ability to download videos for offline viewing, but the app loves to log me out and remove any downloaded videos. Extremely inconvenient for no reason
They blocked me mid subscription 1/5
By jbages2732
The company didn’t like my open opinion about their terrible app and so they blocked me from their app. I have paid too and attorneys will be consulted considering I pay them. Just be forewarned that this can happen to anyone and they do not respond to support
Needs Update 1/5
By Robert Morelia
Logs you out all the time. It also says your out of the region when your not. Has a lot of bugs.
Vrv is broken ever since it was bought 1/5
By Ghostkidx327
I don’t know what happened when Sony bought Crunchyroll but VRV has been an absolute disappointment, I’ve had VRV for years now and it never let me down and was my #1 site to view anime, now it’s unusable logs out on every device and logging in on consoles is a pain too such a shame, please fix was a 5 now a 1.
Good app 2/5
By cheshire_72
This app is good and i would give it a 5 star but every time i get on i have to log in it happens every day im not sure why🧐
Sign-In Required 3/5
By Asianhybrid
Every other time I open the app, it requires a sign-in. The app didn’t have this problems in the past.
Good product 3/5
By Slairf
To start I like VRV, has a bunch of shows I enjoy. I started as free to watch so you get ads. The ads are clearly marked on the slide bar, they are janky you can get two of the same ads back to back, or a few mixed before seeing it again. Definitely annoying, you can even get the same repetitive ads numerous times. But free to watch is okay despite that. I moved to paid sub and enjoy ad free now, 10$ for the amount of shows I watch is a bit high, but still worth it to me. One call out, when they separate the shows in languages, it’s each coded as a season and on mobile it doesn’t display it properly, as well as when one offs happen, they list it as s20, or s14 which is annoying. This is on the developer to make this particular change for other languages, start it with jp, en, gr, pr etc so users can find their language of pref easier and immediately. Either that, or code it accordingly so you can select the language you want without all the extra fluff. Recently though, I have been forced to log out and back in almost on a daily basis, it’s the reasoning for my 3 stars. I’d rate it four borderlining 5 stars if not for this log in and out issue that’s been going on for over 2 weeks now.
Why 4/5
By cukfffuv
The apps amazing as the premium is the option best for the app, but there is a bug where it logs me out every-time i open the app but still says im a premium subscriber please fix this
Not bad 4/5
By MeadowPixie
This app is amazing when paid for avoiding ads every 5 seconds. It has all the best animes and so many selections. By far my favorite anime app BUT I’m tired of having to log back in almost EVERY time I want to watch something. Please fix this issue.
Needs to get fixed. 2/5
By Nasser12286
The app keeps logging me out every day and it’s very annoying. Not only on this app, but everywhere I log in.
Keeps logging me out and deleting my downloaded videos 1/5
By Anandbatia
This app was awesome when it worked. Now every time I use I am logged out and have to login. This wouldn’t be too much of an issue, however, when it logs me out my downloaded content is also deleted and that is super annoying.
A dying provider 1/5
By WashedUpCloth
This app used to be amazing but recent changes have made it pointless. Most of the shows have been removed and if you look under their “faq” they even explain that you should move to crunchy roll. I don’t know if anyone will see this but if one person does then I will be happy.
Go to their FAQ and you will see that VRV is effectively dead.
Why does it log me out 3/5
By the app is frustrated me
I’ve been using this app for a couple months now it was going great at first but it started too log me out numerous times it was getting so annoying to the fact I just wanna switch back to crunchy roll this problem needs to be fixed on PlayStation 4 because it keeps logging me out when I want to go to another streaming service it is annoying and needs to bef fixed
Love the app but…. 3/5
By Dumflee
The app is nice I pay for a monthly subscription but I’d like it to keep me logged in and not have to log in every time I get on the app on my phone or my tv. It’s frustrating and time consuming on my part and doesn’t make slot of sense why it would continue to log me out on both, but other that that the app is great and I’m on VRV on a daily basis.
Thank you to the devs for creating such a great app, hope all the bug fixes come sooner than later, keep up the good work.
Logs me out consistently 2/5
By Grant Brown
Basically when ever I open the app it logs me out and I have to sign in every single time. Please allow users to remain logged in across their devices. Thanks
No bueno 2/5
By OxnardCA
It didn’t have as much selection as I was hoping for, also the whole save password never worked. As someone that can’t remember all their passwords it was pretty bothersome. And some listed a dubbed version but didn’t actually have it dubbed. Sad
