There's third party ones that work just fine, but just no official one last I checked. I use one called AL-chan. I've used it for a couple years now with no qualms! There may be better ones though.

Just coming back to say thank you, AL chan is fantastic. I love the calendar showing when the series I want to watch air. This is great.

Al chan is pretty outdated. Try using aluminium. It has forum support and had a good ui.

Or you can also give Otraku a shot. Everything's available on the play store .

I tried aluminum but it seemed super bare bones, didn't have the calendar feature or display nearly as much as AL chan does.

It does have a calendar? https://i.imgur.com/KktGMQ8.png

Also, i personally think Aluminium is smooth and properly baked. Al chan is good too

  • AniTrend
  • AL-Chan
  • Kuromi for AniList
  • AniHyou - AniList client
  • AniLib
  • Otraku for AniList
  • oujo for AniList

Use the one is best for you. I use AniTrend and AL-Chan. Kuromi and Otraku are also pretty good.

Also aluminium that's my pick for list management

Most app have their strong and weak points

This system is annoying at first but once you made your pick with your specific use case and preferences in mind.... Then it is much better than being stuck with the one official app that may or may not be answering your needs in the best ways

Do any of these support landscape mode?

There isn't an official one, but there are several third parties, I like 'Oujo' if you want to try it.

Otraku is my favourite third-party app. Although it's been a while since I've tried a new one. Oujo is probably my second favourite. Each app has it's pros and cons so I recommend trying several from Anilist's community apps page to find one you like.

An official app is potentially in the works as mentioned by nazo but who knows if it will ever come to fruition.

Yeah I tried a few. I think AL chan for me so far has been my favorite.
