r/Crunchyroll

Update has made it impossible for me to use Crunchyroll.

I’m on an older device using IOS 16 and have had no problems with the app up until this point. Suddenly, I open the app and it says “looks like you’ve got an old version of the app. Update now.”

I go to the app store to update and see a huge bar above the update button “Requires IOS 17.0 or later”.

My device cannot update to IOS 17. It caps at the latest version of 16.

I tried to use the website but it just told me to use the app (which I cannot).

I do not have access to any newer mobile devices.

Should I just cancel my subscription? This has made it outright impossible for me to use Crunchyroll since my only laptop is for work and I can’t be using it for personal activities (e.g. anime).

Edit: I’ve haven’t actually specified it here yet, but the model is the iPhone SE 1st gen (2016) in case anyone wanted specifics.

Can't download episodes, despite my membership claiming that I can?

Note: I'm on desktop.
It seems like I should be able to download episodes, but have no actual option to do so. Is anyone else having this problem? What gives?
🤷

Idk if the app devs are in the sub, but if you are, your app UI is horrendous btw. Terrible.

I have to scroll past four rows of promotions and suggested animes before I get to the anime I want to continue watching. It's also super slow and unresponsive. Idk if most users watch Crunchyroll on their computers,but the app UI and experience should be faster and easier to navigate than what it is now.

Why does Amazon-Crunchyroll have Rumbling Hearts but Crunchyroll itself not have it?

It makes no sense to me that Crunchyroll's Amazon thing has Rumbling Hearts (which is something I wanna watch) but Crunchyroll's website itself doesn't have it. Is there anything I can do to watch it without needing to double-dip on Crunchyroll?

Where does the censorship stop??

Got off work and booted up the next episode of Valkyrie drive (yeah I know, gooner anime) that was uncensored a few days ago... Just to be flashed by a whole mess of bright lights covering up my screen... I checked the episodes I've previously watch... They're also censored too... At that point, why TF doesn't Crunchyroll just remove it? Like, I am invested to see where the ACTUAL plot goes but without the PLOT... I might as well just rewatch soul eater.. which I'm probably gonna do anyways but still! Why censor a show that is BLATANTLY lewd focus?? Just doesn't make sense imo

Crunchy roll dub not working?

It keeps saying English but it’s not (don’t kill me it’s my roommates first anime) we are trying to watch apothecary diaries and it’s started only working in Japanese. We use Roku if that helps or anyone has a solution

Anyone else having problems with the app not doing "up next" when new episodes drop again?

About a week ago, all of my new episode drops did not go to the beginning of my watch list like they used to and now I have to search for them under "start watching" instead. I'm also running into issues where when I've watched all of the available episodes for dubs, it's going immediately to "start watching" as well instead of just "watch again."

Why on the PS5 can I not rewind back to 0:00?

It can only go back to 0:10 now. Is there a fix for this? It is extremely annoying.

I can't upgrade my account

With the new manga I want to upgrade so that I can read it. I currently have a annual membership and can't upgrade till the current membership ends. The end is in April next year.

I have been on with support but they told me to wait and closed the chat.

I was just wondering if anyone has any advice or an email I can contact.

Edit: I got an email from the support chat and the email directs you back to the support chat.

App issues with LG TV’s

Hey guys,

I have a LG C2 77” in my living room and a C6 48” in my bedroom. There was a WebOS update this week and ever since then Crunchyroll with open and then try to load and exit app.

I have tried delete in the app, unplugging the TV for a half an hour on both TVs, and then reinstalling.

Nothing is working. I know I can Apple AirPlay crunchy roll to my TV from my phone, but I wanna watch it natively on my TV via the app.

I know I saw a post earlier this week concerning, I think, the C2 or the C6, but I never saw any clear answers if anyone got it working and how they got it working.

If someone knows how to honestly fix it, I would appreciate it.

So when I open the app it shows the CR logo and then I get a spinning circle that disappears after a second then reappears and then the whole app closes.

Mark as watched on series should cause 429 rate limit ban

You send random old seasons into watch next queue because you edited something, forcing people to use mark as watched on the whole show (else it just sets next episode as unwatched).

And then temp bans you for using a feature you have in the app.
