Roadmap#

AniList season metadata is being mapped across the library to provide more accurate series, season, and release information.

Added contextual German and English Help links throughout the official apps, including QR guides on televisions. Signing out now also revokes the device's server session.

Mobile adds an active-session list, the option to sign out another device, and sign out everywhere. The Android app also preserves saved playback positions during startup and opens the anime overview when a calendar episode is unavailable.

Account security now brings browser, app, TV, and compatibility-client logins into one active-session list, with device labels, last-used dates, and a marker for the current session. Viewers can sign out an individual session or sign out everywhere, including the device they are using.

Manage active sessions.

Added device-specific guides for installation, sign-in, playback, downloads, watch progress, tracking, and troubleshooting. Viewers can search articles locally, filter by device or topic, switch between German and English, and follow related guides. Help, the roadmap, contact pages, legal documents, and the API reference now share consistent navigation.

Browse the Help Center.

Expanded compatibility to Streamyfin for library and watchlist browsing, playback started from series and season screens, and individual episode downloads when supported by the client and source. Episode details and playback now use measured source durations, reducing premature endings and mistimed autoplay.

Redesigned episode comments around fast top-level loading, on-demand reply threads, compact mobile actions, spoiler controls, and playback timestamps. Anime reviews and episode discussions now have dedicated experiences, with personal contribution histories in the account area.

Reorganized account navigation and profile editing, with clearer profile, watchlist, and statistics visibility controls. Viewers with a connected AniList or MyAnimeList account can choose separately whether to display each provider identity on their public profile.

Accounts with tracking access can connect AniList or MyAnimeList from Settings, review the connected identity and delivery status, queue a catch-up of earlier progress, reconnect, or disconnect. Supported completed episodes advance the provider's watched count through a continuous sequence of matched episodes. Availability follows the rollout; full-list import, ratings, notes, and list-status sync are not included.

Connect a tracking account and check which progress is sent.

One tap toggles the controls, a double tap in the center plays or pauses, and double taps on either side seek ten seconds. Fullscreen, picture-in-picture, episode controls, and accessibility actions are also clearer.

Added search autocomplete, genre and release-year filters, and language-labelled results across the three FireAnime libraries. Compatible clients can also show episode thumbnails while seeking when preview data is available.

Series can now show both source-based seasons and relation-ordered AniList season views. AniList views include dedicated covers, native and romaji titles, release dates and status, format, genres, and season-relative episode numbering, while progress remains shared with the underlying episodes.

Launched a focused compatibility service for Findroid, Swiftfin, and Jellyfin for Android TV. Viewers can connect with their existing FireAnime account on Android phones and tablets, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV, then browse and search three language-specific libraries. Compatible clients can stream episodes, skip supported intros, recaps, and endings, and keep favorites, watched state, Continue Watching, and Next Up synchronized. Individual episode downloads depend on client and source support.

Current guides: connect a compatible client and check offline support for your actual client.

Colored timeline markers make intros, recaps, and endings easier to anticipate, calendar release times stay legible over poster art, and refreshed FireAnime artwork now carries through the desktop app and installer.

Available opening, recap, and ending segments now appear directly on the seek bar, making it easier to see where a skip will land while retaining the in-player skip action.

Refined the homepage around Continue Watching, featured anime, new episodes, and the release schedule. Saved layouts are applied on the initial page render, sections retain their place as content loads, and returning to the page avoids unnecessary loading placeholders. Ranking pages also gained consistent browsing controls and clearer loading, empty, and retry states.

The full mobile interface is now available in German and English. It follows the device language by default, with a saved Settings override that stays independent of the language used for anime streams.

Featured anime, Continue Watching, popular titles, weekly favorites, and new episodes now adapt cleanly across screen sizes with their own loading and retry states. Continue Watching cards distinguish Resume from Next Up and add start over, mark watched, and remove actions.

Rebuilt playback around a consistent inline and fullscreen experience with clearer controls, stronger contrast, familiar tap and double-tap gestures, and a responsive episode drawer even for very long series. Mini-player returns, episode-page transitions, and next-episode navigation now preserve the viewing flow with less waiting, reloading, and layout movement, while picture-in-picture and playback progress behave more predictably.

When timing data is available, FireAnime recognizes opening, recap, and ending segments for the correct episode and reveals a one-tap or remote-friendly skip action while the segment is playing. The same runtime-aware behavior works across the website, mobile, Android and Fire TV, LG webOS, and desktop players.

Refined the modern and legacy TV player with a calmer control hierarchy, clearer source and episode drawers, dependable remote focus, and actionable playback failures that replace endless buffering with retry and source-selection options. FireAnime now also checks for new versions after launch, offers a manual check in Settings, and opens the correct package for each TV generation while keeping sideloaded installation instructions honest.

Choose, install and update the correct LG webOS package.

Redesigned playback around a content-first control overlay with clearer remote focus, a restrained timeline, cleaner source and episode drawers, and subtler loading feedback. VOE remains the preferred source by default while native proxy sources stay available as fallbacks, and resume prompts, synchronized progress, and next-episode autoplay make longer viewing sessions more dependable.

Home rows now preserve the viewer's card column when moving vertically with the remote. The player also renders one consistent timeline on older webOS TVs and keeps rewind and fast-forward symbols centered in their feedback badge.

Left and Right now seek ten seconds while controls are hidden, holding either direction opens accelerated scrubbing, reopening the controls focuses Play/Pause, and source and episode panels restore focus predictably.

Scan the QR code shown on Android or Fire TV, LG webOS, or desktop, then confirm the matching device and account on a signed-in phone or the website. The other screen signs in automatically, while new device-session controls let viewers review and revoke paired sessions from account security.

Redesigned playback controls and kept them visible during remote interactions, made source and episode panels clearer, added a German or English subtitle fallback when the preferred track is unavailable, and improved poster loading and layouts on older TVs.

Playback failures now lead to useful recovery options instead of a dead end. The app can try a same-language alternative automatically and lets viewers retry, choose another source, or report the problem directly.

Playback now starts and stops reliably when viewers switch episodes, leave the player, or use Back, avoiding repeated starts and video continuing after navigation.

Viewers stay signed in between launches across modern and legacy webOS TVs, with a clear restoration screen and automatic cleanup when a saved session is no longer valid.

FireAnime places integrated players in the viewer's preferred language first and keeps series, arcs, and previous and next episode navigation in the intended story order.

Rebuilt the main navigation, quick search, notifications, search results, genre pages, new-episode lists, and release calendar. Viewers gained shareable filters and sorting, anime quick previews, clearer day and language controls, local release times, a friendlier first visit and privacy flow, stronger feedback states, and reduced-motion support.

Redesigned the journey from home and search through anime details, calendar, profiles, and playback. Adaptive browsing layouts, clearer feedback states, refined motion, and more consistent navigation make the app easier to use across phones and tablets.

Reworked the TV experience around distance viewing with a focused navigation rail, unmistakable D-pad states, TV-safe layouts, larger type, calmer motion, and redesigned home, catalog, search, details, calendar, profile, settings, and player screens.

Refined every major desktop screen—from sign-in and server setup to discovery, continue watching, downloads, notifications, playback, and settings—with clearer navigation, stronger empty and error states, and accessibility improvements.

Added a modern package for webOS TV 24–26 and a compatibility build for webOS 4.x–23. Older televisions retain five-way remote navigation and native playback. The same release also improved playback compatibility with slower-loading streams.

Launched home, explore, calendar, search, profiles, settings, anime details, watchlists, subscriptions, and full-screen playback. The app supports pointer and D-pad navigation, source and language choices, resume prompts, autoplay, and synchronized watch progress.

Added dedicated, localized product and download pages for the mobile, Android and Fire TV, LG webOS, and desktop apps, with clear platform compatibility and current release information.

Expanded supported playback and download sources, added clear notices for restricted episodes, improved sign-in restoration around playback, and introduced subscription choices for German Sub, German Dub, and English Sub.

Refined D-pad navigation, media-key handling, seeking, episode switching, saved stream preferences, and Fire TV release support. The TV app also gained more supported sources, restricted-episode guidance, and multi-language subscriptions.

Added full-season downloads, a release inbox with per-language subscription controls, clearer watch progress, remembered episode sorting, clearer playback setup and recovery tools, and automatic update checks with an in-app download and install flow.

Learn how to download a season on desktop and manage queued, canceled or failed downloads.

Reworked playback and offline downloads with better recovery and retry controls, clearer restricted-episode guidance, more flexible stream selection, and improved reliability across supported sources.

The homepage presents useful content sooner, while anime details, series and arcs, seasons, and watch pages are organized into focused views. Source and language selection, episode navigation, sharing, reporting, and loading feedback are clearer along the way.

Friends can create an invite room with synchronized playback, host controls, chat, a live member list, and reconnect support. Everyone can choose their own stream source while following the room's episode and playback position.

Create a room and invite friends, then manage host controls and room membership.

Resume from a saved timestamp or jump directly to the recommended next episode from home and anime pages. Cards also support starting over, marking an episode watched, or removing it from the queue, and signing in carries recent device progress into the account.

Added a dedicated account hub for new episodes from followed anime, with unread counters and filters, mark-one and mark-all-read controls, and per-anime language and in-app notification settings.

Subscribe to anime and use the release inbox. For reply, mention and quiet-hour preferences, see notification settings.

Layout personalization expanded across home, the release calendar, anime overviews, and episode pages. Sections can be reordered, hidden, shown in compact or comfortable density, or arranged with presets such as Focus, Discovery, Schedule First, Community, and Theater Mode.

Customize page layouts, presets and appearance.

Rebuilt the video player and introduced advanced search filters, sorting, background downloads, cancellation, a redesigned download manager, haptic feedback, profile activity heatmaps, infinite watchlists, and more efficient watch-progress syncing. Follow-up releases fixed episode-navigation crashes and made interrupted downloads easier to detect and retry.

New account pages collect a viewer's anime review and episode comment history, with the context and links needed to return to each contribution.

Added scored anime reviews, reactions, and episode discussion threads so viewers can share opinions and continue the conversation after watching.

Added in-product feedback and broken-stream reporting so playback problems and community suggestions can reach the team directly.

Introduced public profiles with custom banners, avatars, bios, personal accent colors, activity heatmaps, and a Top 5 anime showcase.

Added initial MALSync browser-extension support for synchronizing watch history and progress with MyAnimeList.

Current guides explain MALSync versus built-in AniList/MyAnimeList linking and the exact outbound progress rules and limitations.
