MALClient Customer Insights

1. My only gripe would be with the search setting requiring you to put in a word for a title instead of being able to search based on genres (you can search by genre, but only to narrow down a word search and it prioritizes anime searches), or by other stats like , most recently aired.

2. (That is, until I discovered the native Windows app equivalent by the same developer - give it a shot!) Not everything is perfect - for example, I wish the default page on app start could be set to general search instead of my personal list.

3. if you most have two, the default should search everywhere.It was working for a while and I was able to keep track of numerous anime.

4. The default search only looks at whatever list you're on and I've never once wanted to search my lists.

5. Nothing but that message "We have come up empty.." Even when I try and search for anime to recreate the lists, it says the same message.

6. I'm not sure if this is some known bug but it's quite an inconvenience to lose all of the progress I had with lists of anime I will not remember the names of.I really like the app I have always wanted a place to write down all of the anime I have watched but I never have the time to sit down and do it on pc so this worked great.

7. Sometimes it won't put something on a list i want, won't show me friend requests, won't let me remove anime from my list entirely, among other things.

8. Oh lastly I think it could use a section in each anime of places you can watch it even if it is nothing more than a list.Excellent user interface - far preferable to MAL's actual and outdated website.

9. The ability to create multiple lists, track progress and rate shows from one place it's really good.

10. Everything is well laid out but sometimes the search glitches where if you are searching something new sometimes it will only show you search results from a previous search.

11. It only searches your lists unless you go to search in the menu.
