Haven’t been able to log in

I haven’t been able to log in to the app since the website had issues in September. The login screen just fails to load and nothing has been done.
It’s November 2024 currently and I will update this is the login gets fixed.

Technical problems

I used this app to read a series I love. However purchases had to be made on desktop due to it failing to process payments.

Now when I try to read any item, it crashes with a little image of a character apologising for the bug. That’s polite, but I’d rather not have it. Hope it’s fixed soon, unable to use the app right now

The app is broken, again

This review is for their app. Not bad when it works, but it usually has bugs. When you get a stable version you like, it eventually stops loading properly and you have to update. My problem is right now the upgraded app isn’t working at all! It seems to have lost all my reading history and won’t even show chapter titles.

It’s great!

The app makes it exceedingly easy to read light novels and comics, yes they come at a price but the sheer quality and customisation you can do while reading is so convenient. Prices are fair, but it could benefit from a subscription service, the current one makes no sense and isn’t worth it.

however it’s library is a little lacking and they also have tendency to axe LNs in favour of mangas.

Pretty good place to read manga while supporting translaters

The reason it isn't 5 stars is because app doesn't seem to have an option for a subscription membership. If you want one, you have to go to the website.

Scam

Paid for the coins but wouldn’t give me my coins!!

Light in features, but works very well

The app isn’t nearly as full-featured as the website but what’s there works well. I wish the community features of the website were included.

When you purchase a book you can actually download the DRM-free .epub file so you can share it between devices and use it with any ebook reader. You’re not locked down to staying within their app/platform to read your books if you don’t want to be.

The built-in reader is also fantastic, and much better than Apple Books and other competing epub readers. It’s very customizable and smooth to use. The only complaint I have is that (at least with Bookworm) it seems to be missing things like the color insert image and bonus content even though these are included in the epub file.

Really good app

Really good app, i was looking a lot for where to read the novels and mangas I wanted to read and this app has them and has no add which is amazing and a bunch of other really good novels.

Welp $5 down the drain.

Downloaded this to try to read one series and got the subscription. Turns out you can only read the “catch up” stuff with sub. So no way to read it if you are behind without buying the book itself. If I wanted to do that I wouldn’t get it from this site, rather just go physical.

Response from developer

We've added in-app purchases, so you can unlock any of our content for reading in the app, which also enables you to download the premium EPUB to your device.

I made a account and everything and it won't let me log in
