  • Its AWSOME but...

    I am so desparte to read the rest of the Maximum Ride: The Manga But it costs and i want to read it now plus im broke
  • Slow

    Slow, but still worth it.
  • Very disappointing

    There are some good manga titles available here, but my experience with this app so far has been dreadful. First of all, it crashes every single time on all devices when going from the library to the main page/store. Titles have not synced between devices; I had to sign into the app on each device and download/restore my purchases, and the latter process took a ridiculously long time to complete. Finally, and, in a manga app, perhaps most unforgivably, there is no bookmark function (at least none that I could see...am I missing something?), so each device 'remembers' a completely different page than the other!

    As I say, there are good manga available (and that's the sole reason I give this app 2 stars) and I was excited to contemplate purchasing them, but that's hardly likely with an app that doesn't function. Extremely infuriating and disappointing.

  • Slow downloads for Great Collection

    I have mixed feelings about Yen's app. I love the collection of manga--I still think Yen's library has more variety than Viz. However, the app is incredibly slow. The load times slowed down ever since the upgrade to version 2.0. On top of this, the app cannot change its orientation. The layout looks ugly. Worst of all, each volume takes forever to download. I would have deleted this app if it didn't have Bamboo Blade, K-On and Fullmetal Alchemist in the library.

    I sincerely hope that the developers make some massive improvements in the near future.

  • Mac Version?

    I don’t have an iPhone, however I still wish to use this app so it would be great if I there was some Mac compatibility. Thanks.
  • Crashes

    Crashes on launch and can't even use it.
  • Upset!!!

    I was using this app and bought a few manga but now in OS7 it crashes as soon as I click on it. I bought something I can't even read! What a waste of money!!!
  • Crashes in OS7

    To begin with, this app was never that wonderful, but with the new OS7, it just plain crashes. So if you have an iPad2 and want to download this app. Don't bother. It's one million years behind Viz!
  • Needs a lot of work

    there's no search bar so you have to scroll through all the titles to find one you want
    the previews are way too short, half the time the space is almost totally used on the opening art pages so you don't get a good idea of the story
    the scrolling is a problem because I have to enlarge a page to read it, then I have to put it back to its old size to swipe to the next one
    there doesn't seem to be any sort of order in the manga list, just random titles thrown in all over it

    it has potential, but needs some serious overhauling

  • No Retina support

    This app would be great if it supported the Retina display on the new iPads. I've only bought the Yotsaba&! 11 book, and everything is pixelated. It would be nice to be able to zoom in on a panel too, like on the VIZ Manga app, even if the scans are not that high resolution. Also, the selection of books available digitally is pretty limited, but I figure that's a rights issue. I generally prefer digital books but the Yen Press app's low quality display makes me want to get the print versions.
