Leave a Review Yen Press
Good Library, Poor App
The Yen Press app has a very healthy library of publications that cannot be found on online manga sources due to their strict licensing practice. However, the app falls short on everything else.
My biggest concern is the interface. It's clunky and difficult to navigate. For starters, most series are barely organized. You'll find volumes of manga scattered across a list in no particular order. Moreover, there is no search function. The user interface also feels unresponsive.
While the app is stable throughout a reading experience, closing the reader to your library will induce a crash 99% of the time.
As of now, there is no reason to purchase manga from this app as most publications can be found on iBooks at a lower price.
Only 2 stars because the app isn't downright unusable and it has a great library.Show lessInuKaT5615
Almost Excelent...
Excellent selection of a wide variety of colorful titles. However, desperately need to be updated. System keeps crashing, and downloaded previews keep disappearing from library!EdNick93
Update plz
Would be 5 stars if it was updatedJEB Bacon
Absolute garbage...
Terrible loads glitches out all the time purchases don't work half the time. Super slow and terrible quality releases. But because of their menoploy on translation rights you have to buy from them if you want to read your favorite novels and manga. Better to learn Japanese then support this garbage.Show lessJollygamer123
Hope To See An Update Soon
I enjoy the manga Yen Press gets, but their app still has many improvements to go.
Things I would like to see:
1) Have a sort/search option available in the store portion to find a series. From what I can see and navigate within the app, the only search option is in your personal library. Otherwise, you will have to constantly scroll looking for a particular volume of a series. And the way they are listed I believe is from newest to oldest.
2) Please work on the app to make it run more smoothly. Still run into crashes every so often.Show lessTenshiNekogirl

Worst manga reader on the iOS.
While I appreciate the nice selection of manga offered by yen press, it doesn't really matter when I'm unable to read any of them. The app crashes constantly, and is so slow on the few occasions it actually opens that it's basically unusable. I prefer to buy manga when possible to support the industry, but I will no longer do so with yen press as long as their app is in its current state. Seriously, go download viz media and dark horse comics as their apps actually work. Leave this one alone until they release a big patch to fix all their problems.Show lessJosh 135357
Disappointed
Come on, Yen Press/Hachette, you guys can do better than this. This app is barely usable, hard to browse, and regularly crashes. And that's very discouraging for a company with so many great series.misterfrearsears
Extremely crash-happy
If you're going to encourage people to buy legitimate copies of manga, maybe you could make it so we can actually read the volumes after paying for them.
This app refuses to completely download my purchases & constantly crashes. Awful.Chealion
