Like animelab it started out as one of the best apps/anime streaming services, back when you had the choice to watch almost all content for free with adds if you didnt want to pay to subscribe. This structure was changed when just like animelab, funimation bought crunchyroll out too. There is still some free content if that's what your looking for, it is just older stuff now though. If they keep adding new shows at the rate the original owners did than a subscription might be worth the money.
