Description

For some reason every time I start the app, the app forces me to log in again into my account. Despite the app properly displaying my Watched, watching etc collection.

Here is a screenshot. Behind the popup you can see my collection, yet the app still asks me to log in before i can search or do anything in app.

I've got almost exactly the same issue.

I'm with the same issue.

i've left the windows version of this app. The lack of updates for fixes, bugs etc made the app unusable.

Shame, same issues, the app is unusable aside from looking at your profile.

It seems like the issue is linked with login not working correctly, it looks like the client can't fetch the data correctly from MyAnimeList. It can get your profile information because it's public, but apparently features that require a login don't work, which includes searching.

Maybe the login feature is somehow busted? The API key is not stored correctly? Dunno, but the app is unfortunately unusable. Tried logging in with Google, I tried resetting my password and logging in with user and password, I tried enabling and disabling 2FA... it just won't work.

Shame, the client looked nice.
