Crunchyroll App is an anime streaming application for Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad. It provides access to anime series and films, including simulcast episodes released shortly after their Japanese broadcast. The catalogue combines ongoing shows with complete seasons.
Anime catalogue
You can browse recently added titles, popular shows, an alphabetical catalogue or genres such as action, romance and science fiction. Series listings distinguish subtitled and dubbed availability. Crunchylists let you organize shows into custom playlists or watchlists.
Crunchyroll’s available titles vary by country or region. A Premium subscription provides access to the service’s full library in your region and removes advertising breaks, although plans may still include trailers and promotional messages.
Playback controls
Crunchyroll App lets you set preferred audio and subtitle languages, then change the audio language in the video player when another track is available. Subtitles and closed captions can be enabled separately from the spoken audio choice. The available language tracks vary by programme.
Video quality can follow an automatic setting or a manual selection. On Android, a separate connection preference determines whether streaming may use cellular data or must stay on Wi-Fi.
Crunchyroll App for Android and iOS can cast to Chromecast, Google TV or Android TV.
Episode downloads
Eligible subscriptions and titles support offline viewing in the mobile Crunchyroll App. You can save an individual episode or use Download All for a season, then open the saved material from My Lists under Downloads. This feature is limited to mobile devices; it does not provide PC downloads.
High, Medium and Low download settings trade picture quality against storage use and transfer time. A default quality can be set in the account settings, and the amount you can keep depends on the device’s available space.
Downloaded episodes have a viewing window. Unplayed downloads typically last around seven days, and starting playback usually leaves forty-eight hours to watch. Expired episodes can be downloaded again with an internet connection. Offline access requires an eligible plan, including Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan where offered.
Crunchyroll Premium profiles
Premium accounts can hold up to five profiles. Each profile keeps its own viewing progress and watched-show record, receives tailored recommendations and can have separate parental controls. This allows household members to resume their own episodes without combining their viewing records into one profile.
Profiles can be named and given different avatars and backgrounds. Additional profiles can be edited or removed, while the primary profile remains part of the account. Creating more profiles does not increase the subscription’s simultaneous-stream allowance: all profiles share the limit of the selected membership tier.
