So I loved it at the start I could watch shows I didn’t have access to. But then all of a sudden I try to watch another show show and it says sorry there is a service problem and I’m like fine maybe there is a small problem. But then it says no content and it has been stressing me out updated my phone for this app and it still chooses not to work. If I don’t pay for the subscription I wouldn’t care but I did fix your app please, and if you are another user thinking of using this app you’re better off somewhere else because I feel frustrated as I was enjoying the new shows I didn’t have access to elsewhere. So disappointing.

I have subscribed to HIDIVE since the beginning and it’s really confusing how slow the service is at making the UI experience to just be good. I can manage to navigate certain shows but that’s about it, going back to previously watched shows is a chore to do as you need to actually work out what episode you were at before if it doesn’t register. I’m glad this has a custom catalogue feature but I wish it was more obvious if a show was in a list or not. And lastly, just make it easier to find anime that are on the service, I love the library but sometimes I think more shows are being removed than being added. Lastly, please add in more features! It’s kinda sad there’s less and less anime being added to the site but at least make the UI experience just be good.

I want to express my gratitude to HIDIVE for providing the option to watch anime with both dubbed audio and English subtitles simultaneously. This feature is incredibly valuable to me, and I greatly appreciate your commitment to inclusivity. I also want to thank you for including an LGBT category in your catalog, which makes your service even more appealing. However, I would like to note that the app interface could be a bit more user-friendly. I look forward to future improvements and will continue to enjoy your service with pleasure. Thank you for your efforts!

Ok, so the app isn’t as polished as say Netflix or crunchy roll. But it functions. Yeah it doesn’t auto play the next episode, but if you’ve accessed the series, you can swipe up for an episode list and just press the next one… it’s not rocket science.It’s got a good selection of stuff that Crunchyroll doesn’t have, which is why I started using it.If you put stuff you like the look of in a watchlist it’s easy to find what you’ve been watching, and what you want to watch next and find the series to get to the next episode.Yeah it doesn’t have “something similar” options in search. That’s a mild inconvenience at most.Honestly I feel that some of the bad reviews are from those who just want everything handed to them and be spoonfed stuff.The app works well enough, and you can set languages and subtitles.I give it 4 stars because of that, it misses the 5th star due to missing quality of life/spoonfeeding bits, as it’d be nice to have them.
