Terrible user experience – Funimation Review
UX logic issues include:
* Sub/dub choices are not saved when viewing an anime. If i want subtitles I choose it for the episode but for following episodes it always defaults to English dub when viewing the series. There's no global sub/dub preference even as a workaround.
* Disabling auto-play ruins episode progression. I have to exit the episode and view all episodes for the series to select the next one. I disable auto play because sometimes I fall asleep and have woken up with the entire series played.
* No visual indicators on what episodes I've watched. I have to memorize what episode I've watched before trying to figure out the next episode to watch in the full episode list of the series.
Bugs:
* My history no longer populates and is likely a QA oversight. Occasionally the app crashes if I'm persistent at trying to view the history.
* Free trial user registration not possible through this app or the website. I worked around it by simply buying a full sub/dub membership. Don't count on others to do this.
I'll adjust my rating if issues above are addressed.
