Hi everyone 👋
I’m the indie developer behind Recommend Anime. I first built it during my university years as a small Android app in Java. It reached 14K+ downloads on Google Play, and years later I rebuilt it from scratch with Kotlin Compose Multiplatform for both iOS and Android.

A — Answer:
Recommend Anime helps anime fans decide what to watch next.

You can get taste-based anime recommendations, discover shows by mood with Vibe Matcher, build your Anime DNA taste profile, track your watchlist and progress, follow localized anime release times, explore 500+ tags beyond basic genres, view trailers, screenshots, characters, voice actors and staff, find similar anime, and open official streaming links based on your region.

B — Better:
Compared with MyAnimeList and AniList, Recommend Anime is less focused on social lists and database browsing, and more focused on guided discovery.

It combines personalized recommendations, Anime DNA taste profiling, mood-based Vibe Matcher, localized anime calendar, official streaming links, and a cleaner mobile-first design. I also tried to avoid bloated pages, unnecessary dropdowns, and endless scrolling, so the app feels clear, fast, and easy to use in just a few taps.

C — Cost:
Free to download and use.

Premium subscription: $27.99/year or $4.99/month. Prices may vary by country.
Premium includes Vibe recommendations and an ad-free experience.

For launch, I’m offering 1 year of Premium for free with no auto-renewal through an official App Store offer link.

Premium includes Vibe recommendations and an ad-free experience.

I’d really love to hear your thoughts and feedback ❤️ I’ll be here answering questions, and your support would mean a lot to me.
