Based on 23 real App Store reviews, here's exactly what users wish Anime apps would build.
Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.
"It's good but there is no picking if something is sub or dub. I speak English and would prefer to be able to understand the anime"
"Good but needs more anime dubs"
"I really want to watch all the seasons of my hero academia I was on season four because of Netflix, but then there was nothing else"
"Good but dosent have all epilike in JJK have only S1 and only has 61 ep of One Piece"
"I get that the devs need to eat but, maybe just one ad at startup instead of bombarding us with 100 at once. It's brutal."
"I understand the need to monetize your app, but this is worse than YouTube. They look like angels in comparison."
"This app isn't that bad for beginners. Would fr commend if you want a free app and have not seen all the classics. But if your an avid anime fan and are looking for a large selection to choose from, this one ain't it."
Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.
Users acknowledge need for monetization but current ad volume makes app unusable. A balanced freemium approach with clear premium escape hatch would capture both free and paying users while solving the #1 complaint.
22% of complaints cite missing language options. English-speaking users are currently unable to watch content, representing immediate lost engagement and revenue.
Users are arriving with specific shows in mind from Netflix/Crunchyroll and bouncing when seasons are incomplete. Complete popular series drive retention better than partial obscure ones.
Current ad implementation breaks core functionality - users literally cannot watch content. Pre-roll only preserves monetization while ensuring playback works.
App is rated 4+ but contains inappropriate content. This creates legal/policy risk and damages trust with parent users who could be long-term subscribers.
