UPDATE: The all-new (free!) mobile app is currently available for download in the Google Play, Windows, Apple and Amazon stores!
As we celebrate the launch of our all-new (free!) mobile apps, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate your continued support of Funimation. The new mobile app is currently available for download in the Apple and Amazon stores. We are awaiting confirmation from the Google Play and Windows stores; we will let you know when it is there and ready for download! If you have a Windows or Android device, please stand by!
Along with a sleek new design and a more streamlined user experience, here are some the apps’ new features:
- Episode progress sync across devices
- Queue sync across devices
- Airplay and Chromecast support
- Marathoning / Auto-play next episode
- +/- 10 sec skip
The new Funimation mobile apps have a bunch of cool new features, but the best way to decide if the app is for you is to download it on your app store today and try it out for yourself!
But that’s not all, to commemorate this momentous occasion, starting this Wednesday, March 9th, we’ll also be running a sweepstakes for everyone who downloads the new app so keep an eye out for details!
Nicely done FUNimation! I quite like the new app, clean design and easy to use. Hoping the new website is just as good.
Thank you!!! <3 The team is very moved.
Please do let us know if you encounter any issues and thank you so much for installing the app. You can report issues over in the forum at http://www.funimation.com/forum/showthread.php?10223-FunimationNow-mobile-app-is-available-NOW!&p=78559#post78559 or at http://www.funimation.com/support.
can you make the app compatible with the Amazon fire 7 tablet(2015), right now it says i cant use the new app on it
Now, to just wait for windows and android.
The Windows and Android apps are now available! http://www.funimation.com/apps
Nice UI, some minor issues that I sent in a report for. Really can’t wait for the Apple TV app though 😀
Any chance of making the app compatible on a Kindle Fire HDX (3rd generation). I just uninstalled the old app so I could switch, but it was a no go. In the meantime, I’ll be looking forward to the android version once that drops in the store.
Can’t wait to try it on my Surface 3 and Lumia 950!
My Lumia 925 is ready too!
It’s up for grabs! But be advised, you can’t install the app if your phone is still running Windows Phone 8.1.
Yep, I’m running the Insider Preview. I see your rating 😛

Is the Android app just waiting on the google play store?
I bought a one-year subscription which isn’t finished for several months….now I have to get another?
NOT!
I was able to jump right into my account!!!
Sleek…fast….quick access to my queue…which appears to synched to the desktop version….FINALLY!!!!
Can I use your account
Sweet! I’ve been looking forward to these apps and they work great on my iPhone and iPad. The queue is probably my favourite part of the apps and brings it on par with other streaming services. Just one thing though I wish i could tap the playback controls away instead of waiting a couple seconds into the videos for them to auto disappear. But great start I hope Funi continues to work on the mobile experience.
Looks nice but one major thing that bugs me is that I can’t turn it vertical on my iPad like I could the old app. Also what the guy above said about being able to tap the playback controls to make them disappear.
Love the look on the iOS app. Clean…
a few issues not talked about are queue syncing is not working well… viewing the queue is very very slow… progress on episodes already watched are not marked as watched so can’t tell where I left of very well unless I cross reference the web…
Please update with historical data from the web so I don’t have to keep multiple system up when I watch to figure out what episode I’m on.
is the windows 10 app out or am i missing it? I love the android app so far on my note 4, just want to get it on my lumia 640 and my surface 3.
I got it now on my Lumia 925 and Windows 10 laptop.
AppleTV app where are youuuuuuuuu!!!???
The AppleTV will be coming soon! Once it launches, we’ll let you know.
I don’t expect a specific date, but are we talking days, weeks or months. I downloaded the iOS app and it is really nice but I really want to use the Apple TV app and watch it on my nice big screen TV not my small phone screen.
P.S. Thanx for new apps finally and not forgetting about new Apple TV
looking forward to it!!!
the windows 10 app seems to be behind 2 weeks on the broadcast dub shows the 2 most recent episodes of the BD’s still show JP only, no english option given, despite being on the main website
Thanks for your feedback. I’ve sent this info to the team to address.
I can’t download the new app for kindle fire it says currently unavailable
Are you planning to add android tv support. Should be similar to amazon fire tv. One can hope.
Why doesn’t the Windows app have the 10-second skip feature?
Like the new app. But why is the queue showing shows in reverse order and is there a why to make go in order? From Z-A to A-Z?
Would be nice if the queue showed whether there are unwatched episodes or not – that doesn’t appear to be the case based upon the Windows 10 version.
Nice new app. A couple suggestions I would make:
1. I agree with what is being said about how it would be nice to be able to tap to make the playback menu during a video disappear instead of waiting for it to go away.
2. I noticed that the in-line remote play/pause button on my headphones no longer can be used to play/pause during a video. It worked in the old app and would be nice if that was still usable.
Please fix the chrome cast support it only plays like 35 seconds then freezes. It’s really annoying I got another year of funimation because of the chrome cast support and it does not work. The new app looks nice though. Hope you can help me out.
hmmm I can login to the windows 10 app, but it says my queue is empty. Everything fine on Android? Wonder why?
I briefly had the app, but I had no choice but to uninsall it. Here’s my reason why I uninstalled it. I can’t use the app without either a sub pass or all-access pass, but I can’t get either of those because there is a stupid requirement that stops me from trying to get them every single time (the damn credit card information). Since I don’t have a credit card, I can never get myself an all access pass. PLEASE GET RID OF THAT STUPID REQUIREMENT SO I CAN GET MY ALL-ACCESS PASS ALREADY!!!!
But you have to pay for it…
You have to buy the all access pass and sub pass… that’s how anime streaming sites work… Crunchyroll does the same thing… You need a credit card no matter what… even for the free trial…
Any updste on the Apple Tv app?
All these apps running in Android & Windows devices?
Fix the buffering
I don’t understand how anyone can have anything good to say about the Android app. The picture quality when streaming is like trying to play a FPS game at 20 frames per second. After about 30 seconds I feel nauseated and sick from the stuttering frames. And this on a 30/30 Mbps fiber connection. Streams are perfect on my computer using a web browser, but every time I stream to an Android device the picture quality becomes pixellated and stutters so badly that it’s just not even tolerable.
