A better Android app that allows to rate content
Existing app is a good companion, but it could be better. I think the only thing that can be improved is the way you rate content in the app. For example, if you want to rate an episode, you need to click that episode and it will open the listing on the web page (which is actually bugged, scrolling doesn't work sometimes). Instead, you can create a new UI for the episode and any other content that can be rated.

Just install the web app via browser:
To install a website as an app on Android, use the Chrome browser (or other browsers like Edge), go to the site, tap the three-dot menu, select "Add to Home screen," then "Install," which creates a shortcut that looks and acts like an app, often using Progressive Web App (PWA) features for a better experience.
From my POV it would be even ok to deprecate the Android app if you could manage notifications via this PWA. I thought at first the Android app is the whole experience and was so disappointed that I nearly gave up on SIMKL (just came back because of the Crunchyroll import). When I used it on web, especially with lists V2 it became an absolute beast and I love it! <3 @Andrew Masyk

Yes, commenting for an episode is not very user friendly, but is good to know you're currently working on it. Thanks for the hard work.

In Simkl Lists app You can rate the item inside the item at the top click "Rate". Episode rating for now only through the website. Yes, the UI for the episode page in Comments is not very mobile-friendly, in todo.
