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)

2026-08-20	An*****	Bring back the alphabetized dub category, it was the only thing you did better than Crunchyroll.

2026-08-20	Ev*****	I have paid my subscription, but won't let me watch anything. People beware of Hidive taking ur money but not letting you watch anything. When u fix problem, I might change my subscription. subscription ends September 17th, so unsure why I can't watch the shows?

2026-08-17	Da*****	Can't change subtitle color or size anymore; default yellow subtitles are really hard to read on most shows

2026-08-16	Ch*****	they take your payment and then deny you the service saying it takes a few days for Google to clear the payment I've never heard of such the. you ask for the money they say it's impossible. I have to fight Google but Google says they have the money. they are clearly stealing and racketeering.

2026-08-15	Ja*****	Horrible. Choices for anime are garbage, not a lot of dubs compared to other apps, was not happy or excited about any aspect of this app. User interface sucks pretty hard too.

2026-08-13	Ma*****	have informed them of a bug they have with the watchlists you make months ago and yet still haven't don't thier job and fix it yet they jack the price up I suggest getting crunchyroll and let them go outta business since they don't seem to invested in their customers atleast crunchyroll starts working on issues when pointed out think when I finish the 2 series I'm watching on it I'm gonna be done with them for good it's ridiculous that they can't fix such a minor issue within 3 months

2026-08-13	Du*****	Too much $ for the tiny amount of new entertaining content. Basically every 12 weeks you get 1 new series that is good which is released live (1 episode per week).

2026-08-13	Co*****	no button to go to next episode.. swiping keeps skipping over shows when I'm looking on home page which is maddening, not saving what I watch is annoying, wish "continue watching" list was just one tap but it's many taps... Barely any content overall, English dub is even more limited. I have high hopes for this app, Crunchyroll roll needs some competition cuz they going nuts these days. Ending on a positive note: video playback was smooth and there are a handful of shows I enjoyed
