Version 2.6
This update adds system notifications for airing anime episodes, plus other improvements and bug fixes:
- System notifications for airing anime episodes! Go to the Notifications tab to turn these on if you'd like. Tap the settings button in that tab to change whether the notifications make sound or light up the screen.
- Anime on your list in the "Plan to Watch" and "Paused" statuses now appear in the Airing Schedule widget. "Paused" anime episodes always appear, while only episode 1 of "Plan to Watch" anime appears. The widget also shows special indicators for anime in these statuses.
- Fix the Origin Region selector in advanced search showing abbreviations rather than full names
- Fix a crash when expanding More Information on media detail screens after following a deep link (such as from a widget, an AniList link, or the ryuusei:// URL scheme)
- Fix the synopsis and favorite status sometimes not showing correctly on media detail screens after following a deep link

Dec 15, 2023
Version 2.5
This update includes new features around studios and Shortcuts, improvements to search and Dashboard & List sorting, and various bug fixes.
New features and improvements:
- Studio Details! Tap on a studio from an Anime Detail page or use Search. See all the anime a studio was involved in and mark the studio as a favorite. Open links to studios on AniList.co from your clipboard like other AniList links.
- New App Shortcut to start a search! Quickly start a search using the Shortcuts app, Siri, or from Spotlight (iOS 17). You can even create your own Shortcut using the action to do things like highlight text on the web and immediately start a search in Ryuusei with it! (App Shortcuts are available on iOS 16 and up.)
- The app icon now has a quick link to get to the Search screen. Long-press / 3D Touch on the app icon on your Home Screen or App Library to try it out!
- Added the ability to search for characters and users
- Genres on Details screens can now be tapped to browse top anime/manga with that genre
- Tags can now be tapped to browse top anime/manga with that tag. For tags that are typically spoilers, a warning is shown first. Long pressing a tag gives the option to view a description of the tag.
- The Dashboard and List can now be sorted by when items were added to your list
- The Dashboard can now be sorted by next airing episode
- Improved the layout of the Help & Feedback screen
Bug fixes:
- Fixed: the Airing Schedule widget did not update when Ryuusei was re-opened after an anime aired and the anime had a new episode upcoming
- Fixed: Anime and Manga Detail screens could send unnecessary requests when the app was re-opened, which in some cases caused AniList to rate limit you
- Fixed: tapping on a user's avatar or username could unexpectedly follow/unfollow them
- Fixed: the Dashboard would sometimes briefly show an empty state instead of a loading state when the app was first launched
- Fixed: section headers on Details screens were partially off-screen when using certain iPhones in landscape orientation
This is the last major version of Ryuusei that will support iOS 15. If possible, please consider upgrading to continue getting new features.

Version 2.4
This update has widgets and new features for keeping track of when upcoming episodes of anime are airing!
• Home Screen widget for airing schedule! This widget displays upcoming episodes of shows you're currently watching.
• If an anime has an upcoming episode, the time until it airs is shown on the Dashboard and on the anime's Detail page. When you're on the Detail page, you can tap to see the exact time.
version 2.3.3

Version 2.3.3
Back with a few more bug fixes!
• Fixed a login failure when your lists were empty (like for new AniList users!)

Jun 25, 2023
Version 2.3.2
This update fixes a couple crashes and other issues:
• Fix crashes on Notifications screen
• Fix missing unread markers on notifications in certain situations
• Fix refresh animation immediately ending when refreshing notifications
***
Sometimes things go slower than we'd like, or they don't work correctly. This version of Ryuusei improves how the app handles a bunch of situations like those!
• Improved performance when quickly making multiple changes to a list item. Previously, if AniList or your connection was running slow, sometimes your changes would seem to be reverted or otherwise not end up how you'd expect. This is fixed!
• If Ryuusei is suspended in the background and you make changes to your list on another device or on the AniList website, when you open Ryuusei again it now automatically refreshes your list data
• Data on the Discover page is automatically refreshed after a day or so
• Loading indicators are shown when updating the status of an item on your list, and when updating the progress or score of an item is going a bit slow
• Refreshing the Notifications tab no longer clears out the list, which looked weird and occasionally resulted in showing the wrong data after the refresh was done
• Added specific error messages for when requests are being rate limited by AniList and when an item cannot be found
• Improved error messages throughout the app. Error popups are less wordy, and error banners give more information about the problem.
• Greatly improved performance when loading large lists
• Shortened the amount of time the app will wait for network requests to finish
• Viewing the Profile tab while the app is still busy logging in now shows a loading indicator instead of incorrectly showing a Log In button
• Fixed an issue where viewing enlarged cover images on iPad while using multitasking modes would display the image incorrectly
• Fixed crash on Discover pages when loading indicators were tapped

version 2.2

Mar 27, 2023
Version 2.2
This update has a few big new features (advanced search and rich text!), plus other smaller improvements and bug fixes:
• Advanced search! Use advanced search to find anime and manga based on season, genres, publishing status, region, whether it's already on your list, and more.
• Ryuusei now supports the majority of rich text formatting features on AniList! No more «br», ~!spoilers!~, and so on! Links that Ryuusei can open are opened directly in the app. Spoilers have first-class support, expanding inline when tapped.
• Titles and "more information" on anime, manga, staff, and character detail screens can now be copied! Long-press on the text to show the copy button.
• Discover Anime now has a section for "next season," and Discover Manga now has a section for "Trending"
• Character biographies are now included on character details pages. I had been holding off since those can have a lot of spoilers on them. Now that Ryuusei supports rich text, it was a great time to add character bios!
• The general design of the Discover page has been cleaned up
• Fixed a crash on newer versions of iPadOS 16 when trying to share a user profile
• Pressing the Favorite button on staff and character details now correctly asks you to log in if you aren't already
• Possible fix for a rare situation where cover images could show images belonging to the wrong item
• Incredibly minor tweak to navigation bar button alignment

posted on 2022-02-26

This update brings new features, bug fixes, and more:
Note: Opening links from the clipboard is now off by default. If you used this feature before, you may need to turn it back on under Settings > General
- The Staff Detail screen has been rebuilt from the ground up! Voice acting roles have a new layout that gives more focus to characters, and all sections are collapsible so you can move around the screen faster.
- Character detail screen! Tap on characters to view more information about them, including larger pictures and what anime and manga they appear in. You can also add them to your favorites! (On rows that have both a character and voice actor, tap on the character's picture to view the character's details.)
- Opening Ryuusei when you have a link to a character from AniList.co on your clipboard will offer to open the detail page in the app (if you have clipboard link detection enabled)
- Anime, manga, and staff can now be set as favorites
- The Settings screen has a new look, and a new Help & Feedback section
- The design of the What's New screen has been refined

version 1.8.5
posted on 2022-01-16
Jan 16, 2022 Version 1.8.5
This version resolves crashes that could occur on various screens, including cast & staff lists, recommendations, and staff roles.
version 1.8.4
posted on 2021-10-21
Oct 21, 2021 Version 1.8.4
This version fixes an issue where characters on the staff detail page could be shown even if the actor didn't voice the character in a particular anime (e.g. remake of an anime, "narrator", etc.). Unfortunately, because of a data issue, the character's role in the anime (main/supporting/background) is no longer displayed on the staff detail page. You can still find this on the anime detail page though!
