Anime Café: Best Anime, Manga

At first glance with this app, I saw a lot of really old and new shows. But a couple big problems for me to enjoy this is most of the shows are love based story’s. I can enjoy one every so often, but this app mostly shows that type of viewing and even with the pricing, I cannot see myself enjoying it. Another issue I am having is the lack of data, every time I try to choose a show, it tells me “Error, The data could not be read because it is missing.: The data is missing”. I am not 100% sure what that means, I have to run a vpn or something?, but if that is the case, then I am concerned that it will only play in a certain language that I do not know?, and I do not want to pay for something that demands more out of me. Personally, if I am going to spend money, I should be able to enjoy it as it is intended in all language’s I want to understand and enjoy the hard work of putting the show together, and the way it is not, I am unable to see what’s going on in the show and process what’s being said, those kind of things tend to have moments where you miss some sentences that could make it or break it for ppl to enjoy, and by then you are really invested into the show and that just sets your customers for unpleasant failures. It’s got some potential, but still needs ALOT of work. I hope this helps to identify some common issues to create a more universal friendly platform.

So I just purchased the app today but I’m having a hard time on how to download the episodes. It doesn’t give me an option to do so. I was just wondering how I do that. The episodes play fine if I have good wifi, other than that I’d have to check out other features of it.

I’ll start of by saying this app actually has a good concept going on. I personally enjoy having the English name as well as the Japanese. The iOS player is nice for casting to a Tv via airplay (if you use that feature). The trivia and trailers are all great features as well in my opinion. The problem is I can’t get anything to load. Nothing is synced correctly. I tap one title and if I play an episode it’s another anime that is clearly not the one I’m trying to watch. Half of the animes say “could not find on server; switch server” and then there’s no option to do so. If this were a free app I’d totally expect bugs like this but, even for a small price you’re asking people to pay for something that in my experience is unusable. The plans are for monthly and then a yearly. If you do the 3 day free trial it’s for the yearly auto renew. If you do the 3 month “trial” it’s actually like $3.99 or $4.99 for the 3 months and then $1.99 every month after. Overall, the app has a good idea. Once they work all these bugs out I’m sure it’ll be worth spending the money on. In the meantime though, I wouldn’t suggest paying for this service unless you really have no other way of watching a specific anime.
