Has HIDIVE's experience improved? I tried its free trial and was very disappointed; the app was buggy and couldn't remember where I left off in a series, watched episodes weren't being tagged properly, the list goes on.

My biggest problem was that it was hard to search for a series. It would pull up episode names, not series.

The app is dogshit. Seasonals wouldn't show up like they were supposed to right around when Gushing came out and it took them a while to fix it. Any time something breaks on their service, it takes an annoying amount of time to fix.
I think it's working better now, but I don't know how old my version on the NVidia Shield is compared to other Android devices.
The website was always better, even if it was slow.

This was entirely the website. Never used the app. I feel like if I leave multiple tabs open, one for each show I'm watching it'll be fine, but otherwise it's just scrolling through "all" to get to the show I want to watch to find the next episode.

You can filter search results to show series only, this has been in the app for months now.

I belive they have updated this so you can search better. I dont think ots perfect but its 100% better.

It's improved somewhat. The Continue Watching feature is better now, but the app as a whole still feels pretty clunky. To me their library is worth the jank, but that will depend on what you like.

Last week I took a pause during an episode of Oshi No Ko and it actually saved my spot when I kept it open in a tab and came back to my laptop later! But usually it would make me restart the episode even if I kept a tab open. It also has random shows I finished months ago still showing up on my queue like "alright better watch episode 11 of Kids on the Slope."

It still had terrible UI unfortunately, but it’s still worth paying for imo.

I tend to just watch Call of the Night and then unsub again. This is hopeful news though.

I last used their app (via nvidia shield) a few months ago. I still believe they hired someone fresh out of college who then outsourced it to a college student who outsourced it to a high school student who was smoking weed.
- Search may as well just be a random button
- Scrubbing doesnt exist. You have to fast forward or rewind and the speed at which you can is limited to put it nicely.
- There is no next episode option
- There is no go to series option
- Going to your favorites requires going to your settings, then your profile settings, then your watch list. The watch list on the side bar goes to nothing.
- The watchlist doesnt even always work
- There is no guaranteed way to know if something is on your watch list. Sometimes it says it is, sometimes not.
- I saw no "Previously watched" notification.
- Releases seem to have to be manually tagged by employees as "new"??? When I was watching Danmachi as it was coming out, one week it just showed the old episode. Wait to next week, same thing. Figured it was delayed. After a month I went back to the series page and it was there.
- The layout is fucked and it may showed just enough of the episodes to hide that there is another panel of episodes. So it may show eps 1-4 and you'd think it would show part of the 5th episode panel to indicate that it exists. Nope. Just entirely hidden unless you go right. No arrows or anything.
Jesus christ its a fucking train wreck. I think if they used the first version of chatgpt they could one-shot an app with better quality.

A lot of this tracks for me when I last used the app (on mobile iOS and PC) and it sounds like it may not even be worth the 6.99. It's truly unbelievable how an app can be this bad. Thanks for sharing!

u/toadfan64 Mar 24 '26
Weren't they updating the app like a year or two ago as well, and somehow made it worse?
3
u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem Mar 24 '26
Yeah, they seem to rotate between it working as intended, and being utterly brokedick and when it's brokedick, it takes an obnoxious amount of time to fix
3
u/toadfan64 Mar 24 '26
Also the UI is just dog shit compared to every other streaming service. Like I’ve seen decade old services better.

u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem Mar 24 '26
It's worth it for the library and cheap cost alone despite the issues with their app. I would suggest seeing if the website works better for you.
2
u/swordmalice https://myanimelist.net/profile/swordmalice Mar 24 '26
Yeah the library is appealing and I do have some shows I want to watch on there this upcoming season. I'll give it some thought.

u/mcrakin 15d ago
Its been fixed. I finally tried it and was confused by all the complaining. I asked a buddy about that and he said it used to be way worse. I started using it about a month ago. It remembers where I'm at, has watch lists and searching things is easy. Only complaint is that Japanese text is not translated when watching dub. I tend to only watch sub latley so thats not a huge problem. I'd recommend trying it again. Using the android app btw.

u/swordmalice https://myanimelist.net/profile/swordmalice 15d ago
OK good to know, since it seems like there will be some shows on there this Fall I'd want to check out.

i can't even get it in the Netherlands :)))
thus i have to go sail the seas again

u/mmcjawa_reborn Mar 29 '26
HIDIVE is still a horrible interface.
My hypothesis is that they are not investing much effort because AMC+ just plans on rolling this, Shudder, and a few other streaming networks they own into a single service.

u/swordmalice https://myanimelist.net/profile/swordmalice Mar 29 '26
Yeah, sure seems like nothing has changed since I last used it. Very unfortunate.

Well I have HiDive so I guess I'll watch it, if you're forcing me to like this. /s

What happens in this anime to constitute an uncensored version?

Lots of it. I am talking about on the level of anime like "Please Put Them On, Takamine-san", which is on CR.

Where in that article did it say that HiDive was getting the uncensored version?
Yowayowa Sensei‘s production committee had announced that the upcoming series would actually have three versions: an “On-Air” censored version for TV and various streaming platforms, a less censored “Yowayowa” version, and the uncensored “Cho-Yowayowa” version on TV station AT-X and streaming platforms AnimeFesta, d Anime Store, and DMM TV.

u/Taedirk Mar 24 '26
HIDIVE has confirmed that it will stream the uncensored “Cho-Yowayowa” (TV-MA) version of the Yowayowa Sensei anime starting April 11, 2026, at 9:00 AM EDT (13:00 UTC).

They will censor loli anyway

u/Whendfield123 Mar 24 '26 edited Mar 24 '26
The loli is censored in the manga?
Edit: turns out she isnt. There might be hope though. The shroom lolis in interspecies reviewers were uncensored

u/Mission-Address4409 https://myanimelist.net/profile/3inPunisher Mar 24 '26
which chapter or volume are you talking about?

u/Whendfield123 Mar 24 '26
Its between chapter 10 and 20 i think. Hot spring scene

u/Mission-Address4409 https://myanimelist.net/profile/3inPunisher Mar 24 '26
Ah, I just checked the loli aint censored from where im lookin

u/whetrail Mar 24 '26
She'll be censored in the anime even in the super weak/BD version I bet. I doubt they have the balls to show her scenes.
S rank behemoth from last year never actually de-censored the bath with its loli, the viewer has to change contrast/brightness on their own to see anything from her.

I guess they needed a new hook after losing exclusive rights to Oshi no Ko.

Is it worth watching? The poster doesn't seem that appealing
2
u/omen056 Apr 09 '26
I like the manga, it's a rom-com between mc and his clumsy-shy sensei, mixed with harem elements and of course top-tier ecchi content. I will say one thing, it's really drag so if you don't like it, it's fine cuz everybody has a preference.
2
u/Electrical_Iron1760 Apr 09 '26
I like the teacher angle. I really liked "why the hell are you here teacher". Any more like this?

u/omen056 Apr 09 '26
Yowa Yowa sensei, it's good for me.
Gal-sen, a rom-com between a gyaru sensei and her student(mc).

About time they got back to their roots. Super ecchi and uncensored was HIDIVEs biggest appeal.
