Why did u add diamond which u had to purchased with actual money?
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Some of our comics are indeed only available for gem-unlocking according to the author's request. Frankly speaking, some of our authors are devoting their efforts, working day and night in order to bring us the newest content. We respect those authors' works, therefore, we really hope our dear readers can support those authors with us, as best as we can, so that they are able to keep creating good content for us in the future. There are actually plenty comics can be unlocked with coins, pls check it! There are also extra ways of getting free gems in the latest version. Moreover, we will hold events in the community(you can find it on the discover page) and comment section of some comics(mainly new comics and completed comics) from time to time, ppl will have chance to get coins/gems there, don't hesitate to check it!! You can also buy gems with coins in "MALL" section. Thank you so much!(*❦ω❦)
Used to be better
Another thing that bothers me, is the lack of free comics. They used to make a comic for free for promotion purposes. I liked the free comics since it allowed me to see if I enjoyed reading before purchasing more chapters. I also used this method for finding new comics to read, but since it was taken away, I’ve stopped finding new ones.
Lastly, the user interface has gotten extremely messy. Before, it was easy to find new comics and it was a simpler home page. Upsprees at the top, recommend comics, and new releases. Now, the home page never ends and has so many comics on it. The new homepage is unpleasant to scroll and I have buyers dilemma when looking at it.
The only reason I gave this 2 stars is because this app used to be my favorite. I’d rather support other apps now since the money you pay toward the development of the app has made it worst. This app lacks pro features, other than reading in advance. There are often untranslated panels as well, so it’s not worth the money spent to unlock a chapter.
Was Good Now It’s Just Barely Okay
Also, at this point the ratio of gems/tickets to coins is so off that coins are basically useless. You need something like 200 coins for one red ticket which gets you one chapter, but you can get maybe 100 coins from the promotions that don’t require personal information and like 10 coins per ad that only unlocks after a certain amount of time. Basically if you read more than 3 comics, you’ll be short every time.
Reading-later list
Now the thing that makes me write this review is Sometimes when I read the description of one of the suggested recommendations for any manhwa I like, I might put it in my favorites for finding it easier at a later time(when I want to read it), but the problem here is that I will get notifications for this manhwa that I haven't read yet so I started giving up on notifications. This caused another problem, as I can no longer know that new chapters have been added to my favorite manhwa that I have read, so please add the (Reading - Later) list. Or modify this notification subject so that I can choose which I receive notifications about and which do not
Edit
Edit:
I have been using this app for a couple years now and yes I did love this app but this newest update I absolutely despise. The previous subscription it made sense to pay a fee and then you got to read everything for free still getting to pay the artist for their hard work, but this new subscription plan that they have I hate it. I can’t freely read as much and as many chapters as I want and if I finish all my gems which all the books apparently require nowThen I have to spend even more money to try and enjoy the books that I read. To be honest I’m very disappointed because I used to rave about how all the other reading Apps need to look at what web comics is doing and follow their subscription plan idea but now I am not happy at all.
Subscription question
Response from developer
Hi, friend. We can understand your feeling. Premium is a brand-new subscription(differentiate from the old membership "PLUS"). However, as an old user who subscribes to PLUS, as long as you doesn't cancel your subscription to PLUS, you will always enjoy the privileges of PLUS. But if you cancel PLUS, when you subscribe again, we will no longer provide PLUS service, but Premium service. Please go to [Profile]-[Premium Center] section to read Premium's privileges and claim gems and free comics. We will provide more Premium privileges in the coming future. I hope my explanation can help you. Thanks so much!(*❦ω❦)
“Pay”
Response from developer
Hi. Some comics require gems-unlocking due to the authors' request. Creation is a difficult process. Hope you can understand the authors. But you can go to the Profile page- MALL section. Not only can you receive a free red ticket to read comics, you can also exchange coins for free gems. We'll add more ways to read chapters for free. (*❦ω❦)
