This is awful app...
My God this app is horrible! It doesn’t sort out ur chapters for you, u can’t even close the manga without pressing over and over to try to get the EXIT button to pop up! This app is insane! Doesn’t even make me wanna rent stuff Bc I have to deal with it! Ugh! With all the money they make, you would think they would better this! Just use the browser! Ugh!Show lessSerenve
Regular user of Android app
I love getting manga from Renta! It was something that at first I wasn’t sure about, but now love. I have the app on my phone and it’s so much easier to use. I can go right to their website and download my books, plus get new ones. I was hoping that I would be able to do that on my tablet with this app, but it’s so bare bones it’s silly. Will definitely be sticking to just using my phone. But would love to get this app if it’s improved...Show lessTwilightMay
Too costly.
One manga I wanted to read came out to $180. Nearly as much as if I’d bought it in book form. Too much.fivepeas
I love ebook renta website but their app is garbage!
2018! Taking tons of money per chapter and they can't make a simple software that is userfriendly and easy to use! Meanwhile free manga websites like webtoon and webcomics are like second nature to use and navigate! I spent more than 80 dollars on your manga! The logic thing is I can read them on my computer and on this app, so why I don't see my books! This app is.a digrace to the japqnese pride! Make it user friendly or delete this-useless app already!Show lessFara world
App is Terrible
The app is terrible. You can’t search for manga in anyway, and when you finish a preview, it defaults back to the top of the listPolgara87
Bare bones but works
NOTE: This is a review purely based on what the app provides and not on Renta! as a service. I think their website is much better and as a publisher they have great releases.
I only use this app to have the manga available offline. It’s tedious to get your purchased manga onto the app since you have to log in to the Renta website in a browser on your device and go to your books and select ‘download’ from there, which will open the app and download what you’ve selected. The real tedium comes in because of the fact that Renta does releases by the chapter. This means you have to go back and forth between your browser and the app and individually download each chapter to the app. Each download also auto opens when it’s downloaded which isn’t bad when your downloading one thing but is annoying when you’re just trying to load up a bunch of purchases to the app.
Since other reviews were confused, to close out of a manga and go back to the bookshelf, you have to tap the middle of the screen and some options will appear at the bottom of the screen. You have to be careful not to tap too close to the edges of the screen or you’ll just turn the page.Show lesspinkposie
Not very user friendly
Navigating through the app is a bit awkward/tedious, and downloading books to your bookshelf seems more complicated than needs to be. I’ve figured it out for the most part, but it’s definitely not smooth. Hell, I still can’t figure out how to exit out of reading a manga, I have to close the app completely to get back to my main screen. Can I make it work? Yep. Is it a pain? Also yep.Show lessRianigann
.... I would like to use it
I would not mind purchasing tickets off of this app, however the app itself is difficult to use. You can’t rent things off of it, and it has a limited time of usage. I would like to re-read chapters or a whole series but it can be costly. It is still a bit unorganized, since you have to go to browser and then go back to app to read a book. It also does not have a direct link to open browser from the app, and to look it up on your browser you never know which website to trust.Show lesskitcat.gi
Unique app with nice selection of comics
*Updated review*I was discouraged from using this app because the titles I wanted wouldn't download, but I learned a trick to make it work. If you're downloading the app outside of Japan, then a comic will take forever to download. What you need to do is download TunnelBear. It's another app that's free that will change your IP address to any country. I changed mine to Japan, downloaded a comic,and opened it in the app. It actually worked. So far, the selection is sweet. It has comics you can't find anywhere else in English.
I have purchased a comic from here. It was one of the ones where they charge a $1 per chapter. The story was okay. Not really romantic, but you get what you pay for. I think you'll get a comic with a more engaging plot if you purchase the comics that charge more per chapter. Overall, this is a good app for romance manga.Show lessserilaaa
