Yup, I agree with /u/dorothy3242 & /u/TooFiveFive
Stylus, is a fork of the open source Stylish version 1.5.2
They claim:
>"The objective in creating Stylus was to remove any and all analytics, and return to a more user-friendly UI. "
>1) Any and all analytics, telemetry, and data-collection have been removed completely. We'd rather not know what you're up to.
>Privacy Policy:Unlike other similar extensions, we don't find you to be all that interesting. Your questionable browsing history should remain between you and the NSA. Stylus collects nothing. Period.
All entries that belong to the same parent story should be put in the same pool, simply to make finding related anime easier. It's annoying that I have to manually search e.g. Sword Art Online and go through search results to find anime related to it when it can be made a lot more compact and organised, similarly to how it's done on IMDb. Each entry would still be rated separately, of course.
There's another thing I'd like to chang about the MAL app. I'm currently using MALClient which has a lot of problems but I still use it for one reason: calendar. It's annoying to have to remember which day every anime I'm watching airs and this feature helps a lot. If the official MAL app added a calendar as one of its features, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.
Here it is : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.myanimelist
It was discontinued the 14th of June 2018 though, and this morning it logged out everyone and no one can log in anymore.

If you're using android there is a very handy app that can show comments removed by users and mods.
I installed the app when it first came out and it's been working fine since then.
And the store page is still available for me (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.myanimelist&referrer=forum-d357f4c2) (at least while logged in). What went wrong with the app that they decided to remove it?
Edit: Just tried the link in an incognito page and it does seem to be gone for good, but here is a screenshot with current time/date showing the page as I see it having the app downloaded: https://i.imgur.com/6bYTgw9.png
Are you really sure you put the correct credentials? Were you connected to the internet? Otherwise, I'd just contact the developer directly through the email listed on the Play Store entry.
I'm having the same issue using a mix of public VPNs (Mullvad), my work VPN, and a VPN running on AWS. I guess MAL (or some cloud protection, e.g. Cloudflare) has tweaking something somewhere to completely block any non-private connections.
This seems to definitely be the case based on the fact that using a couple of VMs I have with private IPs, and my actual home internet, and various 4G connections all accessing MAL with no issue.
Although I understand why they might want this to be happening (e.g. helping to prevent scraping and enforce rate-limiting), I really hope this is something that gets resolved soon, since it makes MAL almost useless to me since I rarely use the internet without some form of VPN running.
