User Reviews

Anime Boxes is widely praised as a top-tier, sleek mobile booru browser with broad server support and a polished SwiftUI interface, loved by long-time users. However, recurring issues include removal of pin previews, unreliable image loading and search results, WebM video problems after updates, and occasional stability glitches. Users seek pin previews back, improved search reliability, and clearer guidance, while continuing to value the app for its capabilities and broad content access.
Pros
  • Sleek, fast, and easy-to-use mobile booru browser; widely praised as one of the best for on‑the‑go browsing.
  • Native SwiftUI design provides a polished, mobile-friendly interface.
  • Broad support for multiple booru servers, making content browsing across sites straightforward.
  • Loved by long-time users and considered essential or game-changing compared to alternatives.
  • Generally reliable core functionality and positive overall performance.
Cons
  • Pin previews were removed in recent updates, with many users wanting them back.
  • Images sometimes fail to load or display improperly, including cases of unknown file sizes or missing content.
  • WebM video playback is flaky or causes crashes after updates or OS changes.
  • Search results can be inconsistent or blocked (local filters or server limitations), leading to 'no results' or missing content.
  • Updates can introduce glitches or instability, impacting performance or reliability.

The newest update released *today* is perfect.

Personally I did not like the newest update that came out in which the home pins was reworked. I do not like that now pins do not show the images from the pin but now you have to click on them for it to load which is counterintuitive in my opinion. If not for this update I would rate the app a 5. It would be appreciated if there was a reversal or a way to change the home pins back to the older version.

I adore this app and have for years, I hope to amend my review to 5 stars if they can add pin previews back, as the removal of them is not as good of a change.
