AniWatch

SurgeWatch is a mobile app developed by Vision Mobile (as Firebasket Mobile), Gold Media, and Appster. Ravenworks Mobile assisted Gold Media in translating in different languages. SurgeWatch allows watchers to watch live streams, subbed and dubbed anime. The app was in beta for late 2015 until the summer of 2017. It was announced in August of 2018 that the app will close on August 29, 2018 due to most shows going to RaGEView banta.

However it wasn't closed and the website was still up, just outdated with a big red bar on the top of the screen titled OUR ANIME CAN NOW BE VIEWED AT BANTAVIEW.

In November of 2019, the site was sold to AniMation Entertainment and was rebranded as AniWatch in February of 2020.

History
A beta app was launched in 2015, under AnimeWatch by RaGE Mobile, featuring a AnimeNation Japan and AnimeNation South Korea live stream, and some anime. In 2016, the app was redesigned by Gold Media to fit a modern design. It launched in the Japanese app market, and the South Korean one. North America was launched shortly after, but with changes such as anime not being available. Appster joined on board in early 2017 to aide Gold Media and RaGE Mobile in developing the app for a global audience, with a set date of mid 2017 worldwide. Vision Mobile took over main app development in June of 2017, while keeping Gold Media and Appster as partners.

The app was released on June 23, 2017 to North American and most European countries. June 24th in Asian countries, and June 27th in other parts of the world.
