Frequently Asked Questions

What is AniScout?

AniScout is a trend intelligence app that helps you discover which anime are rising in popularity before they become mainstream. It's not a streaming service—it's a discovery tool.

How does it work?

AniScout analyzes popularity data from AniList to identify trends. You can:

• Browse trending anime by category (Exploding, Rising, Hidden Gems)
• Swipe through anime Tinder-style to discover new shows
• Save favorites and track your episode progress
• Filter by your preferred genres

Is it free?

Yes! AniScout is completely free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases.

Do I need an account?

No account required! All your data is stored locally on your device. No sign-ups, no tracking.

Where can I watch the anime?

AniScout is a discovery tool, not a streaming platform. Once you find an anime you like, you'll need to watch it on your preferred legal streaming service (Crunchyroll, Netflix, etc.).

How often is the data updated?

Trend data is refreshed when you pull down to refresh on the Radar screen. Data is sourced from the AniList API.

Troubleshooting

App not loading data

Try pulling down to refresh on the Radar screen. Make sure you have an active internet connection.

Swipe mode not working

Make sure you're swiping with enough distance. If issues persist, try restarting the app.

Preferences not saving

Check if you've granted storage permissions to the app in your iOS Settings.
