How to Get Support and Follow Updates for malupdaterosx.moe Apps

Updated

To get help with any app from malupdaterosx.moe, use the official Support Forums to report bugs, suggest new features, or ask questions. For ongoing news and release updates, follow the project on GitHub and Mastodon. These are the channels the site itself lists under its "Need Support?" and "Follow Us" sections, so they are the right first stop whether you are evaluating the apps or already using them.

Support: What the Forums Are For

The site points users to its Support Forums for three specific purposes:

  • Reporting bugs — something in an app is broken or behaving unexpectedly.
  • Suggesting new features — requesting additions or changes to how an app works.
  • Asking questions — general help with using the apps.

This matters because the developer describes the software as open source but not "free as in beer": development is funded by donations. The forums are the stated place to raise issues and requests, so posting there keeps your report visible to the people who maintain the code.

Before You Post

A few practical habits make a forum report easier to act on:

  1. Identify the app and platform. The lineup spans macOS and iOS/iPadOS, and some apps exist on both. Name the specific app (for example, Shukofukurou for macOS versus Shukofukurou for iOS) and your OS version.
  2. Describe the expected versus actual behavior. "The list didn't sync after I finished an episode" is more useful than "sync is broken."
  3. Note the list service involved. Apps work with Kitsu, AniList, and MyAnimeList, and not every app supports every service — so state which one you were using.
  4. Check whether it's a feature request or a bug. The forums handle both, but labeling your post helps route it.

Updates: Where to Follow

The site's "Follow Us" section lists two channels:

Channel Best for
GitHub Source code, releases, and development activity across the open-source projects
Mastodon Announcements and updates in a social feed

Because all the programs are open source, GitHub is also where you can study or improve the code and distribute modified copies, as the site describes. If you want to track when a fix or feature lands, that is the place to watch.

Quick Reference: Which App Do You Need Help With?

Knowing the app helps you write a precise forum post. The site lists four applications:

  • Shukofukurou for macOS — manage Kitsu and AniList lists, discover new titles.
  • Shukofukurou for iOS — manage Kitsu, AniList, and MyAnimeList lists on iPhone and iPad.
  • Hachidori — automatically update your Kitsu, AniList, and MyAnimeList library based on what anime you are watching.
  • KaniManabu — a Japanese vocabulary and kanji study tool positioned as an alternative to Anki within the Apple ecosystem.

Note the service coverage differs by app: the macOS version of Shukofukurou covers Kitsu and AniList, while the iOS version adds MyAnimeList. If your question is about MyAnimeList syncing on a Mac, that distinction is worth stating in your post.

A Reasonable Order of Operations

  1. Check GitHub first if your issue might already be fixed or discussed — it hosts the code and development activity.
  2. Search the Support Forums before starting a new thread, to avoid duplicate reports.
  3. Post in the forums with the app name, platform, list service, and a clear description of the problem or request.
  4. Follow on Mastodon if you prefer passive updates rather than checking repositories.

The site does not publish a separate email address or ticketing system for support, so the forums, GitHub, and Mastodon are the documented routes. If you are deciding whether to adopt these apps, the same channels let you see how actively issues are handled before you commit.
