I’ve been using pocket MAL for a few years now, but there’s a few things I don’t like about it and would like to find a new app.

My biggest gripe is it doesn’t let you know when new episodes are out for anime you’re watching and I also don’t like the numbering system for watched episodes - it starts at zero instead of one so it shows the last episode you watched vs the next episode you should be watching.( It’s relatively minor I know but that’s how I prefer my show tracking)

Features it does have that I need are displaying English titles and the ability to rank series (even if it’s just locally).

Any recommendations?

    I’m using AL-chan, which is a frontend for anilist.co. Of course, there are various other frontends available, including just using anilist itself directly.

    AL-chan does this. It can also notify you when new seasons of shows you’ve seen have been annouced.

    I also don’t like the numbering system for watched episodes - it starts at zero instead of one so it shows the last episode you watched vs the next episode you should be watching.( It’s relatively minor I know but that’s how I prefer my show tracking)

    I’m guessing you’ll have a hard time finding an app that displays the number of episodes you’ve seen +1 instead of just showing the number of episodes you’ve seen. As far as I know, AL-chan can’t be configured to do this.

    Features it does have that I need are displaying English titles

    This is configurable

    the ability to rank series (even if it’s just locally).

    No problems there either
