Hello Batson!
I hope you do an Android release as I only have a Samsung phone.
I tried it out on the iPad, and it looks great!
Thank you for checking it out!
I plan on updating the app in the future to take better advantage of the iPad screen real estate. As for Android, it isn't my focus at the moment and would take a full rewrite, since this app is written with Swift and SwiftUI. My main goal is to make this iOS app as good as possible!
Got some really exciting features for the next update! Preview here: https://x.com/BatsonDev/status/1707232133217939860

Thank you for using Risuto, and enjoy!
Hi Batson
Loving the app so far! I have some feature suggestions.
Something along the lines of this:
___
Just suggestions, it's up to you at the end of the day :)
Keep up the great work!
Musubi,
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and the mockup, and I'm glad you're enjoying my app! It really means a lot to me and I appreciate you taking the time to do that.
I'm working on the next app update and hoping to release it in the coming days. I'll move your suggestions up in the backlog and see if I can include them this go-around. Either way, they will be coming!

Thank you for using Risuto and suggesting great features! If you're enjoying the app, please tell your friends about it and submit an App Store review.

I've just started starting trying the app and I like it so far. It has more features than the one I was already using, good job.
A few things I've noticed: When I logged in, it kept telling me to log in again so I did. This happened three times before I finally just closed the app and reopened it, then everything seemed fine. Also, there's a problem with text status updates that contain images and/or spoilers. They don't display correctly and the formatting code is shown. Apart from that though, very nice app, I hope it continues to get updated.
I am back with more suggestions!
Good News!
Risuto is now featured as a Community App over at https://anilist.co/apps! Thank you to all that have used my app so far, especially to those who have given feedback and suggestions.

I've just found this app and after using it for a little now I will be switching to this app permanently. It has all the features one could ask for, but there are 2 additional features I would like that would really make it the perfect app for me. The first feature I would like is to have information on characters in whatever anime or manga, like their name voice actor. The second feature would be notifications for when a new episode is out for whatever anime you've added to the list that is airing.
Other than that it’s pretty much a perfect app!
Edit: There are 2 more suggestions I would like to make after using the app for the whole day. First would be able to save the listing order. I like to have my list to showing all the airing shows first and my manga list to show my chapter progress first, but every time I close the app and open it again, I would need to reapply the feature. Secondly would be to have the name of the studio making the anime as part of its information. There's a bit of blank space below and next to the genre tags where I think it could fit and still look clean.
I sent an email to support@risuto.co but it got marked as undeliverable, so here I am...
First of all, thanks for making Risuto, absolutely amazing app!
Just curious, since iOS 26 public release will be out fairly soon, do you have any plan on releasing an update for Risuto soon? I’d be happy to pay for Risuto if you add a tip in app purchase :)
Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot!
I'll have to check on why that email didn't go through, Gmail might have marked it as inactive or something. I do have an update planned soon to fix some outstanding bugs and add in some features I've been wanting for a while. Real life and work have been in the way of side projects for a bit, but I'm getting back around to it lately.
Do you have any specific features you might like to see or issues that you've noticed?
man it seems like im 5mo too late seeing this
for features i think the current one is already really good and i dont know what to ask for
tho ui wise i think getting liquid glass to match with the rest of the app category would be nice
btw just donated in app :) thanks again for making this amazing app!

hello!!!!!
first of all i wanna say the app is super nice, really, feels great, really complete, nice customization for IOS, like literally perfect.
however ive got one small problem, and i dont know if it's bc i did smt wrong, or if it's a bug.
the problem i have is that the completed list on the anime tab, but also on the manga one, are saying "no items in completed list", i checked my anilist account and it says that i do indeed have completed animes and mangas...
id like to be able to get them listed on those tabs, instead of having to go on the profile tab, and look for them like that...
if you have a fix or anything would be nice
still an AWESOME app, truly well done, keep up the good work! and if ill get suggestions in the future i'll let you know!
Hi, I just started using the app and i really like it so very. I was wondering if there’s a support group or something to send bug reports. One of the bugs i noticed is that when you go to someone’s profile it still shows your profile and the only way to see the other person’s profile is to refresh the page.
Hey Batson,
I recently got to know about Risuto. I absolutely love it. Especially the stats page is so elaborate. Its the best app I have tried. Thank you for this amazing application.
I am having a problem in app, which i think maybe a bug. It shows " No items in completed list" in both manga and anime sections. While it shows my completed manga as i navigate to my profile.
apart from this I am also curious whether you would be adding a feature to favorite (and unfavorite) characters/staff. The app is amazing btw and its not lacking; just curious though!
Thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot to me that you enjoy using my app!
Does it always fail to show completed items, or only sometimes? I'm not able to replicate that issue with my account, but I'm wondering if it's persistent or not for you.
Edit: I believe I've found the root cause. In your account settings under the List section, do you have "Split Completed List Section By Format" ticked? When I enable that I'm able to break it as you describe. I'll get a fix going for this.
