Leave a Review INKR
Manga rock forever
I, like many of the people who have left reviews, have been users of manga rock for years. I was disappointed when I found out that it was shutting down and still am. I miss reading all my favorite mangas but sadly this app does not cut it. It’s terrible. Having a paywall to read further into a series is awful. You guys were doing great with manga rock but this is now awful. Looks like I have to leave behind my manga forever, I just can’t bring myself to like this app. Please make it better or just take it down.Show lessuser2047561
Paywall on top of subscription???
Coming from Manga Rock to this is absolutely painful. The app itself is phenomenal, and beautifully done! The collection isn’t bad either, but the outrage cost to read is beyond ridiculous and the system for it isn’t much better. You buy gold coins in order trade it into “Inkr” which basically from my best understanding, turns into time?? The best I can compare it to is a parking meter for manga. They do have a subscription based option, but it seems ludicrous that you subscribe only to be given extra “inkr . To add fuel to the fire, there almost no explanation to what Inkr is used for, or why it’s important to have it. Also, one would think that subscribing to this the monthly option would remove adds, NOPE! Their online help states in bold letters WITH ADDS. Also, it tells you in the online form (Not the App) that Inkr is used to unlock exclusive chapters, but they expire in 30 days from the time of receiving them. All and all, the biggest complaint I have is the lack of transparency of the purchase system and how the system is a ripoff. You subscribe just to have to use the reward from the subscription to read more on the app?? If they updated to reading method to match that of Manga Rock, this could very easily be a 5 star app. But until then, it’s almost not worth the hassle.Show lessBlessed Loss
You have to pay to read newer chapters!
Not really 5 stars at all!!! I’ll stick with my actually free online mangas!
As a fan of Manga Rock this app is dope and the quality is good like many websites. But you have to pay to progress! Not pay to go back and re read. In my opinion it’s not worth it for me, others will pay and that’s fine. I personally wouldn’t. A lot of the mangas I read are way ahead in chapters compared to this INKR Comics App. Guessing because it’s fairly new...... but I personally deleted this app as soon as I opened it up for less than 5 minutes of checking it out. Why pay for something you get for free am I right?Show lessPokemon Master 💩
Subscription is fine... coin based micro transactions are not
Certain mangas lock their chapters behind another paywall even if you are a subscriber. It’s a crappy experience to have to pay again after being a subscriber. It’s like you subscribed just for the option to buy chapters. It’s really dumb. I already submitted feedback hopefully INKR will change this model because I won’t support such poor user experience. Either increase the monthly price to properly compensate the manga artists/publishers or let us buy manga volumes individually WITHOUT a subscription.Show lessCrystalPepsi
Not perfect, but it’s getting better.
I really like that the developers are trying to make a platform that supports the people who actually create the Manga/comics and also the translation teams. The content is a bit limited at the moment but there’s new arrivals all the time. App is fairly easy to navigate although, I’d like to see more ways to search for certain genres and maybe a way to request if the INKR devs could get new titles to be added to the app.
Biggest problems that I can see that need to be overcome are getting more titles into the app and quicker updates on new chapters. One of the manga I was reading hasn’t seen a new chapter in about a month, which wouldn’t be a problem if this was free but I’m paying a subscription and an in-app currency.Show lessEricWeim
I hate the new interface.
I do not mind paying for a subscription to read manga Shonen Jump ($1.99), Webcomics ($5.99) and other companies offer similar prices. The main problem is the interface. Its hard to focus on things. I wish the size of the boxes were smaller or adjustable. I enjoyed the old manga rock interface. No other comic apps have such large boxes to show the comic’s name with a cover. Enlarging a comic of the day or daily updates is fine. I wish the filter was more customizable allowing a more precise search. Recommendations are ok but limit finding a new variety of content.Show lessFromSomeone
Not a fan
I was frustrated when I found out they were shutting down mangarock and then found out the new app wouldn’t be available for the software version of my iPad (I have an older iPad and it won’t update to the software needed for the app). So now if I want to read I have to read it on my iPhone. So I have to strain my eyes to read manga.
Next is the lack of titles. Mangarock had a ton more titles. This new app is extremely limited.
After that I found out I had to have a monthly subscription in order to finish reading chapters of manga.
Now what causes me to write this review is finding out that, even though I’m spending money to have a monthly subscription that now I need to spend EVEN MORE money in order to ‘unlock’ other chapters.
Mangarock was my go to manga app. Now I don’t have one. They’ve horribly disappointed me with their new app. Can we get mangarock back?Show lessMorbidAngelx07
Misleading
I’m not going to compare INKR to Manga Rock. Manga Rock was one of the best, immoral ways of reading manga. But it doesn’t hold a candle to other manga apps you need to pay for.
Misleading payment. Like others have said, you pay a small subscription fee to unlock some stories but you still need to pay for others. Fair enough. But you don’t really unlock much. The first 3 chapters are unlocked and you need to buy the rest which wasn’t my impression of what that meant. I think I understand the thinking behind it. I can typically tell if I’m interested in a story, by the end of 1 chapter (assuming it’s not a webtoon). It’s nice to know if you’re interested in a story before you buy in to it. I wish they were more honest with their system rather than being so secretive.
Their selection. I’m sure they’ll have more selection once they get more popular but they’re favoring webtoons. I know a lot of people love webtoons so maybe it’s not a problem for most people. Everything I read was in the format of a webtoon or was a webtoon. If you prefer black and white, read right to left manga, like I do, go to a different app.
I guess all I have left to say to the former Manga Rock team is:
안녕히 계세요
さようなら

Loved Manga Rock but this needs work
I really appreciate what you guys did in order to give back to the creators and have a safe viewing platform but to have a paid subscription and have to buy the app currency on top of that is a bit much. I personally would prefer to pay more of a monthly subscription without having to use extra app currency. I think more people will get on that faster than having to buy coins.Show lessJGMMMMMMM
Some suggestions
Hey, so I think most of us come from Manga Rock and this app is only starting and obviously it won’t have that many manga yet. I do have some suggestions that may make the app better, because it basically lost some of the things I liked the most about Manga Rock and I believe to be indispensable.
1) A category filter! It is sooo necessary, and I hated when other apps only had one there put in each manga. Mangas have many genres and that makes them great. Being able to filter more specific tastes and ongoing or complete is really great for us that want something very specific.
2) Well, i would prefer to only pay a subscription to read mostly unlimited manga. If you guys really need the coin system you could get some adds in there and each time you decide to watch an add you get a coin! That way you guys are earning money and we are getting manga “for free”.
Other than that I would love to see your project flourish! It just really needs a bit more to get to where Manga Rock was.Show lessTeresajmz7
