Review summary

HIDIVE's Android app is praised for a strong anime library and solid playback, with features like resume playback, multitasking overlay, and multiple watchlists. However, users repeatedly report stability problems (crashes, loading errors), account and billing frustrations, unreliable history and bookmark persistence, and occasional content-availability gaps. While some users note improvements over time, the core issues affecting usability remain. Overall, content quality and useful features exist, but reliability and UX need continued attention.

Pros

Large library of anime content
Good video quality
Saves watch progress / resumes from last watched
Overlay multitasking feature (watch while using other apps)
Multiple watchlists for organization

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues / app crashes or hangs
Login/access and billing problems (can't login; double billing; account lockouts)
Watchlist/history/bookmarks not saving or not accurate
Content availability issues / no content or app showing nothing / loading problems
Poor UI/UX and performance annoyances (buggy interface, navigation issues)

2026-07-29	Jo*****	App is a little clunky, but it worked decently well. Emphasis on the past tense. I have tried force stopping the app, uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as closing and reopening the app, but nothing will make it work lately. It just loads up the HiDive logo and sits there forever. Literally unusable.

2026-07-25	jo*****	I have been using this app for the last year on my phone and now any anime I watch in sub I can't watch as the sub is not thier in the sttimg menu and can only watch if it in English and Japanese. this has only just started in the last 2 weeks. I like the Website as it has alot of anime that I watch when I was younger and like to watch now and then. if this is not fix i will have to end my sub and go back to piracy again.

2026-07-24	Wi*****	lowering to 2 stars now since subtitles consistently don't work probs just going to unsubscribe since a faulty app isn't worth paying for

2026-07-24	Sh*****	Loads of anime but I don't like the controls/lay out. Like you can't just move the joystick forward on console to fastforward. You have to use the arrows to fastforward but it doesn't show you where you are at. So you keep going for forward or backward to get to the spot you want to be at. update: still a horrible app with an absolute garbage layout... they make no effort to improve it either when the fixes are soo easy. still ran by idiots, apparently in 2026...

2026-07-22	Fi*****	Bruh its 2026, why do episodes still launch in dub despite my preferences being saved to Japanese as my preferred audio? why is it when I click a show to "continue watching," you dont show me the next episodes of the show underneath and instead show me related shows. Why would you think my User Experience for watching a show would benefit by revolving around other shows I didnt choose to watch? Literally every other streaming service, episodes are easy to access and "more like this" is elsewhere
