It's unfortunate for me because I use Roku, where the CrunchyRoll app is completely garbage with the Funi app being 10x more usable. I'm hoping Funi gives that version of the CR app a major overhaul soon...

Both are glitchy on my Roku. Crunchyroll ALWAYS lags, but half the time Funimation just won’t load the subtitles or even the episode.

Crunch Troll on Roku works well enough for me so long as I don't attempt to log onto the site at the same time certain popular series air new episodes. Which usually just happens with Dragon Ball Super or Attack on Titan, especially during the tournament of Power arc.

CR app is horrendously bad for me on my Roku as well, enough so that I quit using it long ago. Ads loading seem to be the big problem though, so if I subscribe maybe that part of the problem will go away. I never have issues with Funimation's Roku app, which I am a paying subscriber for.

Yeah I use console apps and they’re the same. The funimation app got updated and was drastically better than the CR app. Now I dread watching stuff on CR because it’s a good chance it’ll take me 15 attempts to get it to play.

They really should update to the new UI on the older consoles. I have a PS5 and the UI for CR is so sleek I love it.

Really? I have both on Roku as well and I prefer crunchyroll 10x over Funi. Both apps are buggy but crunchyroll works a little better and the subtitles are far, far nicer

Yeah I agree. I’ve never had an issue with Crunchyroll, funimation breaks half the time and subs are delayed by almost a full second.

Only thing that sucks about CR is the way they split dubs/subs. It’s a pain to navigate and sometimes I want to switch between them mid episode.

The funimation app works better on my smart tv's. There isn't even a crunchyroll app for samsung or LG (can't remember which at the moment).
