HIDIVEReviews of hidive.com

Very disappointing. I was hoping to enjoy various favorite anime, but my experience with HIDIVE was far from satisfying. The app frequently crashes and buffers excessively, even with a stable internet connection. Additionally, the user interface feels outdated and unintuitive. The available content is also not as extensive as I expected. I'd rather switch to a more reliable streaming platform. I won't be renewing my subscription here.

Talk about utter dogsh*t. Interface is like a reject from the 90s, dubs don't have subtitles for onscreen text, the app is one of the worst in existence and the simulcasts are abysmal

HIDIVE has some serious production issues. I only put up with it because somehow they go the rights to some big shows, but they are constantly late with releases, making mistakes on subtitles, and ignoring feedback about their website which is in need of an update. Some of these issues were easier to hand wave away when they were new, but it has been years and they have refused to address major feedback while continuing to drop the ball for major shows. This is a company that is resisting change even though they need it. If you have a viable alternative, I would steer clear, but unfortunately us consumers don't have a wealth of options when it comes to finding our shows. Hopefully they change course soon.

This site claims to stream uncensored anime but their localisers purposely censore the dialogue in the shows. And worst of all they brag about this on social media and the company does nothing to stop this. Not only is this blatant false advertising but clearly this company had no intention of fixing their employees unprofessional behaviour.

Schlechte Anime Seite! man kann nur mit Abo schauen und dann steht bei jeden Anime dabei das er Deutsche Untertitel hat oder Sychro hat aber dann kommt es nur auf Englisch! Totale Geld Verschwendung!

Absolutely abysmal app and company. Worst experience I’ve ever had with any streaming app. Intentionally and repeatedly slamming my head in a doorway would be less painful and frustrating that continuing to try and navigate the terrible user interface and buggy app HiDive has created. Truly a shame that they keep buying up more and more good shows and not providing a useable app to watch them on.

I gave my feedback to HIDIVE almost immediately after starting using their service, this was about a year ago now, as it was near unusable - the response I received was: "Thanks for your feedback. HIDIVE takes all viewer comments seriously. We will pass these along for further consideration." my feedback was simple things like listed languages were not available, despite selecting Japanese a number of shows decided they would come in English instead. You have to fast forward like it's a bloody tape, can't skip to the next episode or even jump forwards, and it always ALWAYS forgets where you were - you come back to a show an hour from now and you're 5 episodes back again, and you can't skip forwards so hit fast forward and see if you can get even close, good luck! You watch, favourite, or star a show and when new episodes are available... well, you have no idea, you have to just go check because your watchlist is completely useless, after all at HIDIVE you're 5 episodes behind where you really are so why would a new episode matter. Did I mention the speed? No? That's because there isn't any, my connection is decent, typically 850mbps+ and it takes close to 30 seconds to load the home screen, even worse is when you navigate because it also takes ages, and come back to the home screen? well you better wait another 30 seconds to see the same items you saw just a few seconds ago because caching? Nope, we don't need that... In short, it's an awful user experience and after a year they've done nothing to improve it. Once upon a time I had similar complaints about crunchyroll who despite still having some issues have really gotten it together the last few years, and their app is buggy but usable... hopefully HIDIVE will do the same in time, but they're far from that point right now, it's far too annoying to be worth the money despite a few decent shows you don't get elsewhere.

Required debit card for a free trial (pretty standard but relevant in a bit), had a good selection, but website was difficult to use and app did not have access to everything on the website, forcing me to sit on my pc instead. Most annoying though, when I went to end my free trial and delete my debit card from their system there was no option to do this, and it took 2 months of me emailing them before they deleted my card info.
