I use Anilist. It has a nice clean and user friendly interface. The progressive web app also works well on my device.

    I use AniList. I also have automatic tracking in Tachiyomi and on my Jellyfin server through a plugin. There’s also a browser addon for that called MAL-Sync, which I used before. Without automatic tracking I’d be too lazy or forget to update my progress.

    started using anilist during that time MAL went down in 2018; liked the sleek interface, the choice in rating systems, the GraphQL API… i transfered my data over and never looked back.

    I used to use MAL through the MyAniList app (not to be confused with MAL) but switched to AniList during the api outage in 2018. Nowadays I mainly track manga and anime automatically through tachiyomiJ2K and aniyomi respectively so I don’t interact directly with AniList much, apart from browsing upcoming anime and discovering other series from writers, seiyuus, mangakas etc.

        I’ve also migrated to Anilist form MAL some years ago, but personally I’ve never missed having a dedicated app as Anilist’s website works really well with mobile browsers.

        Overall I just hate the “appification” where people put out a mobile app with no functionality that wasn’t already possible to do just as well in the browser. Not everything needs to be its own app.

        …but either way, Anilist has a great API, which means you can use any app you desire, best of both worlds.

    I used to use MAL but switched to AL when MAL wasn’t listing a lot of Korean webtoons that I was reading since the start of the pandemic.

    I switched from MAL to AniList a while back. I think it was back during the API outage, got tired of not having apps for tracking and wanted something with a more modern interface.

    AniList is great, though I will say the more modern UI also made the page loading a bit more sluggish.

    I use both, if MAL is down there is always Anilist to keep my episodes tracked.

    I moved to Anilist when MAL went down for several months a few years ago. I never looked back, its nice there.
