HIDIVE

Anime selection is good. I will explain what makes the cellphone APP trash…. 1. Episodes do NOT display the name of the anime. So, you are left wondering what the anime you just watched is called.. 2.Episodes do not provide a hyper link to the season list so you are left trying to find the name and season… 3.App does not have a “search” function to help you literally search for anime…. 4.The save list seems buggy and not enough options to create better categories. Overall HIDIVE has great potential but is lacking basic functions that every other streaming app in the industry offer….I hope they fix these problems….as a customer, I am super annoyed.

App needs better updates. The whole thing with them not doing the little things such as showing what episodes you’ve watched, terrible and difficult management in going through the menu. Finding new shows or finding your watchlist is becoming a mission. Highly not suggested. It’s a trap for wanting to watch a couple of shows you wanted to see and that’s it. Can clearly tell that the devs do not care about this app or its customers. HIGHLY recommend not paying for their subscription and watch your shows somewhere else on an online site.

3/5 the shows are an A++ but this app needs attention. Doesn’t show the titles any longer and doesn’t save the locations of what you just watched.

The selection of anime is nice and different from other services. Basically, if it’s not on Netflix or Crunchyroll, it’s here, which is neat. But oh my god, this app is the worst. It never plays the next episode, never lets you see the next episodes, so once you finish one, you have to search it up the show again. When you return to viewing your show it never brings up the show or its information. The app also never remembers if you’re watching in sub or dub. I always listen to sub here, but if the anime has a dub it always defaults to it no matter how many times I switch. Please fix all of this!

Its a good app but needs some work. The problems are nothing but inconveniences, in the end you can still watch everything you want to and with good quality. I recommend the app

HIDIVE has a good selection of anime to choose from, and the overall performance of their streaming service is good, however their apps & even their website needs some serious work. The apps & website have the basic controls that you would expect, but nothing else like the ability to skip the intro & credits. I turned off the subtitles in the default preferences, but they turn back on for each episode & even if turned off, they will turn back on if you exit that episode, and are also on for the next episode, etc. There currently is no way to clear the watched history, or easily remove episodes from the ‘continue watching’ list, you have to watch (or fast forward) them to remove them. Overall I am happy with the service & plan on continuing my subscription, but HIDIVE really needs to get their website & apps reworked. Plus, they need to create an app for Samsung TVs.

Nothing about it is user friendly it takes work to actually watch anything!

First problem: Hidive doesn't seem to have closed captions for any of their dubbed content. You can turn on the English subtitles, but that's a different translation, so it doesn't solve the “what did they just say?” problem that real closed captions (i.e., having the dub translation also available as a subtitle track) would. Second problem: Hidive allows you to add videos to one or more watchlists. (If it's already in that list, the service scolds you for not remembering everything in that list, which sure is a choice.) But the Apple TV app provides no way to *access* a watchlist. Your lists are black holes that you can put shows into but not retrieve them from—unless you want to watch on the website, which I don't, because that's what I have an Apple TV for. Third problem: The Apple TV app seems to think following platform conventions is for chumps. Want to skip back or forward 15 seconds? Too bad, so sad. Expecting playback to resume immediately after you scrub? Nope! Even the search view has its own hand-rolled keyboard for no apparent reason at all. Hidive would do well to spend less time reinventing the wheel and more time making their Apple TV app good and adding closed captions to dubbed shows. Then Hidive might be a leader rather than a runner-up in the anime streaming market.

The app is slow. The service is really bad. I wanted to leave feedback and this is an actual message that i got from help desk Hi {{contact.name}}, thank you for contacting HIDIVE. My name is Xxxx. I'd love to help, can you please give me a brief summary of your issue while I pull up your account information? It reads contact name it doesnt even display my name. Subscribed to see 1 anime i liked and didnt even finsih it cause of how bad the app is. Cancelled my subscription. If i could give negative stars inwould

Why don’t they put some effort into streaming services it can’t be that hard
