| Hello, I'm Recchan. I wasn't initially going to post anything since I assumed MAL had probably gotten lots of feedback, but this club seems pretty dead. So I guess I'll leave some feedback. I'm a developer, but I don't really deal with mobile development, so I'm afraid I can't offer much insight into anything specific to mobile. The device used for testing the app was a OnePlus 5T running Android Oreo (OxygenOS 5.0.3). Home Trending The sizing of everything in my opinion is fine, the colour of tending baffles me a bit considering the rest of the app is pretty white. MyAnimeList Anime Ranking I don't see why this isn't a card like everything else, it just looks like some advert to me as it looks so out of place. I kind of ignored it until I looked back at it. Everything Else Looks fine to me AnimeList The list view is perfect in my opinion, very nice indeed. All the data you could want is neatly displayed to you. The card view however, looks very messy to me, I'm not exactly sure why to be honest. I feel like there should be some more padding above the top row of anime (although only a little bit more or it'd look off). The +1 Episode/Edit Status also looks weird to me but I have no reason for this, just thought I'd mention it. The tabs are fine, just normal tabs, but they all make sense in name and content. The Editing Pop-up I don't know how much I can say about this besides that it feels very awkward. The pop-up should appear more towards the centre of the screen. With the shift to taller "candy bar" style phones, shuffling down the phone to get to the cancel button after you accidentally press the "Edit Status" button could possibly lead to dropping and breaking of the phone. The Anime Page I'm torn about this page. The ability to tap on the image to get a blown up view of it is great, although I can see this looking blurry, so ma I love the placing of the anime cover as well as popularity etc. I would prefer it to be locked to a card though, instead of just flat on the page, this is because the description makes it look as if it's all on one card, but the top connects to the top of the page. Underneath the title as well it lists the type (TV, OVA, etc.), the year, the episode count and the duration of an episode. I think personally, this should be removed. It's just duplicated data, considering there is a card containing the same information. I also feel like the description as well as the genres should be listed on the information card. Features I Hope Come It would be nice to be able to switch titles to Japanese/English (assuming this is available) for people who don't know the romaji or people that speak Japanese. It does seem that you are able to search by alternative titles though. (Tested using Kimi no Na wa (Your Name/君の名は). It would be nice to be able to switch the lists so you could sort them by both ascending and descending. It would also be nice if MAL introduced some form of banner art, rather than having the boring blue background behind the avatar on the collapsible menu. TL;DR I actually really like the app, which is a surprise considering I dislike most mobile apps for anime tracking platforms (unpolished/missing features and fully released etc.). There are a few small things that I think could be improved but besides that I don't see any issues with it.

| Hello, here's a suggestion for the app. it would be great if we were warned on it when an ep is displayed of the animes that are leaving that you are seeing, and a section with the time to leave. Besides, I'm very fan of the dark theme, adopted by several apps presently, I hope MAL has that too, blue and black would be amazing! |
