Aniimo Mobile

Quick answer: Aniimo launched on mobile September 23, 2026 on iOS and Android, in the same update that shipped version 1.1. It is out now and free to play, and the official launch announcement confirms cross-platform rewards for logging in on both PC and mobile with the same account. The iOS App Store listing shows a 3.7 GB download and iOS 15.0 or later; the Android size and minimum version are still TBD.

Cross Progression

That confirms the same account works on mobile and PC, and that playing on both is the intended path.

What official sources do not spell out: TBD — server assignment and account-transfer rules for mobile are not published. Check the in-game account screen before assuming a specific save will appear.

Launch compensation

Maintenance ran long. The official notice was updated with "All Aniimo servers are now live!" and two compensation mails:

• Mail 1: 1,000 Glimmers — 500 original maintenance compensation plus 500 additional for the delayed launch
• Mail 2: 1 Sparkling Cube — known-issue compensation

The in-game mailbox was unavailable at the time, so the compensation was sent in two separate mails once it was restored.

Mobile issues and known problems

• The delayed launch was officially acknowledged, with extra compensation attached (above)
• Fixed in v1.1: screen discoloration (red tinting) on certain devices, localized rendering blackouts on specific GPU models, and a client infinite-reconnection loop
• The downtime applied to every platform, because PC, console and mobile share the same servers
