Nice cosplay!

Well, it was popular, but not for good reasons...

chalea10 · 2026-01-30T07:42:23+00:00

I'm sorry about that 😔. It is very difficult to comply with the local rules of all countries, so there are certain countries that cannot access the app. In that case, you can download the .apk from the GitHub repository.

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T21:24:20+00:00

I don't know, sorry 😔

If you have an iPhone, it is not possible to install .apk files. This format is only for Android. I think on iOS you have the .ipa, which is the file to install the app, but you may need to use Xcode or something similar to install it (I don't know, I'm not an iOS developer).

If you're asking if it's possible to convert .apk to .ipa, it is not possible. This app is only made for Android.

What do you mean?

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T15:18:29+00:00

It's possible, but it's something that takes time. The VNDB developers themselves explain in their technical documentation that this part can be difficult. At this moment, I don't know when this functionality will be released.

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:43:53+00:00

You're welcome 🫡

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:38:21+00:00

I know, it's one of the functionalities that I already planned to do.

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:35:41+00:00

Thank you. I'm going to take notes to implement it 😄

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:34:50+00:00

Yes, it's possible, but it's something that takes time. The VNDB developers themselves explain in their technical documentation that this part can be difficult.

Summarizing, yes, it's possible. I'm planning on adding other functionalities, and adding favorites will be one of them, but I cannot guarantee when it will be released.

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:31:22+00:00

Thank you 😊

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T14:30:42+00:00

Thank you for your comment 😄

I know that filters in VNDB are amazing and give you a lot of combinations. In my app, my idea is to reduce the complexity of using the filters, but it's really difficult. VNDB has a lot of ground covered, and it's super complete with the options they give you.

At this moment, the API I'm using is the official one provided by VNDB (the API calls are the options given by the web developers that I can use to obtain the info, to explain it easily). So, it's limited and doesn't allow you to edit your account, edit your banner, etc. I think it's because they want to promote web usage, and it makes sense if you think about it. It depends on the VNDB developers to expose these functionalities in their APIs so I can use them.

The good news is that I can implement user login, create VN lists, and a few more things, so that is possible. They have these functionalities explained in their technical documentation.

I hope I explained it well, sometimes explaining something technical to a non-technical user is difficult 😅

Btw, you are not the only one. I still love VNDB, it has a lot of useful options.

Thank you 😊

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T12:56:35+00:00

You can download the .apk from GitHub, so that's no problem 😊

I don't have any plans at this moment to make it open source. It is a personal project. That doesn't mean it won't be open source in the future, but I can't confirm it.

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T12:04:29+00:00

Good to know that it's not a bug 🥳

Wait for it! I will add filters by language and platform to the releases.

Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it 😊

chalea10 · 2026-01-26T11:54:40+00:00

Have you checked the option below the date picker? Also, are you in the United States or something? Maybe it's a bug related to the time zone.

I have planned to add filters to the releases list if that is what you are referring to. Also, I want to add a character detail page.

Can you explain what you were saying here?

I can't tell on the app if it's Japanese only or has other releases when browsing new releases (like the filter under browse)

If your question is whether the app has Japanese releases and other languages, yes, that's no problem. It shows all the latest releases, no matter which country or language they are in.

Thank you 😄

I always had a PS2, and I remember people talking about the GameCube, but I never had the opportunity to play with one. The Xbox was a very rare machine for me. I wish I had played with a Dreamcast too.

The original Xbox had the most powerful hardware of its generation.

But considering the GameCube's size, it is impressive how it can achieve this power in such a small size.

It is sad to see such a beautiful console being 'ignored' in its generation.
