Install AnimeLover

The app is not on the Play Store: you install the APK file yourself. It is safe, and the same method is used for updates.

On a phone or tablet

1

Download the APK

Tap Download. The file is about 37 MB.

2

Allow the install

Android asks for permission to install an app from outside the Play Store. Accept it for the browser or file manager that asks: the permission only applies to that app.

3

Open the file

Tap the downloaded file, then “Install”. If Google Play Protect shows “Unknown app”, choose Install without scanning.

4

Start the app

Pick your language and your source on first launch. Everything can be changed later in Settings.

Updates come from inside the app: when a new version is out, it offers it to you and you only have to accept.

On a Google TV

1

Install the Downloader app

From the TV's Play Store, install Downloader. That is what fetches the file.

2

Enter the code 3721658

In Downloader, type the code 3721658, then install the downloaded file. The TV asks once to allow the install: accept.

3

Find your progress again

Sign in with the same Google account as on your phone: your watched episodes and current playback arrive on their own.

Another way, once the app is installed on both devices: on the TV, open AnimeLover › Settings › Account › Connect the phone, then scan the QR code with your phone.

Something wrong?

The app has a “Report a problem” button in Settings › Account: it prepares an email with the app log, which is what makes a failure understandable. You can also write to animelover.app@gmail.com.
