I use both Pocket MAL and MALclient ( Yes I am crazy )

The OP and ED and similar details are all sorted out in the Pocket MAL whereas the MALclient just shows you the details page and it's up to you to figure out where is the information you wanted.


Feel free to suggest things on Github :)
I made Windows 10 and Android MALClient apps! Source!

Eh.I've read all the replies.
So basically this app is like Pocket MAL v2. The only difference is, it's an official. If that's the case, I rather use MAL Client. The only feature I'm looking for is the ( Forum, private messaging, comment conversation, notification, dark theme) that is present in the app (which basically MAL Client have).

Not downloading an app just to track my list, not worth it. I can do that in the site using my computer when i got home.

That's great news!! It's about time MAL had its own mobile app.

Nope, it's just the database.


It looks nicer and runs smoother. You can also browse the database.
No, you can't view messages and notifications or use the forum. It's purely the database and your lists.
Sounds like its no different than PocketMAL lol... I can wait until March then


Me too. I feel you fam. Lol

If I can't access the forum, no notifications, private messaging, dark theme etc in this app. I rather use MAL Client. >_>

Awesome! An app is far easier to view when I'm traveling and without a laptop. Will definitely give feedback while using!

Wait I thought MAL's mobile app was Pocket MAL? They look kinda the same. I've been using PocketMAL ever since I joined the site. I don't care about all the bells and whistles with the forums and discussions and such, but if the main feature is supposed to be the database, doesn't PocketMAL already do that? how are these two different? Will I be forced to switch anyways if I don't like it? Are you going to keep all of the third-party mobile apps?

For what it has, I like it so far. Although I never really thought about accessing the site on mobile I might get used to doing so with this.

Well well well... I would prefer to "dev team" to fix the site first but this is also something I guess.

For some reason not surprised at all. Also I get the supporters getting early access but I hope they will also send the code to other mobile developers to actually test the app.

@Xinil

Which tech is used for the app? Like language framework etc. I am guessing it's not native since there is no ios support.



Probably Java or C#(Xamarin)

So far, the app is working really well. I can easily add and edit the anime lists. Advertising is not on the app as well which is a plus.

There's PocketMAL already and it does the job pretty well (for now?). If this.... Official app could do more than what PocketMAL could do now, I'll switch there, if not, I'll stick with PocketMAL. Watching this topic to see the progress

Finally :)))))))))))

I have waited so long for this announcement, hopefully this will be nicer to use than the website but still have more options than the mobile site e.g adding start/ finish dates without redirecting to the desktop version.
This is going to be good!

I downloaded, logged into my account through the account creation screen as I already have one. Hit done, it doesn’t log me in, try to log in with my username and I don’t know the password since I linked my Facebook account. Now I’m blocked for a few hours. Smh. All I wanna do is update my watch list.

I would assume the "mangalist" part will be added later, other than that I'm not having any issues. Another thing I believe a mod already brought this up but no forums but just database access? Well that kinda sucks, was looking forward to that too.
