App is incredibly barebones with no reader customization of any kind. But it does do the bare minimums of working atleast. ### 1/5 — A Joke and a Crime *2021-12-09* An app/company that only lets you RENT manga chapters? Not only is it an obvious, tasteless, and incompetent attempt to dig out as much money from people’s wallets, but it because these guys already have the publishing rights it make it near impossible for companies that will actually be willing to let customers BUY the chapters like Viz and Yen Press to get the rights. Far better to wait for the day this company either collapses, gets a brain and let people BUY chapters, or wait till someone gets the rights for the solid copies. ### 2/5 — It’s alright *2021-10-10* It is pretty decent and has a good but short selection of mangas and I am pretty disappointed that even tho you use tickets to buy episodes it is only readable for 7 days and then you have to use more tickets to read it again ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-09-24* It’s trash. Don’t get it ### 1/5 — Really…. *2021-09-03* There is literally no good manga on this app I immediately deleted it. What’s the point of this app when it has nothing good on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to read *2025-04-12* You have to pay to read chapters want to catch up or read a full new series open up your wallet or look for a different manga viewer ### 1/5 — Subscription model works *2025-03-30* These companies only care about money I understand that in japan this works but if they want their app to be usable and consumer friendly a subscription type model will work better ### 1/5 — Tickets to read *2025-02-24* Thought i would be a normal reader app but nope you have to purchase tickets to read anything on this app. I wouldn’t recommend this app ### 1/5 — Bit of a scam really *2025-01-18, version 3.2.2* Save your money and buy hard copies. Good library of manga, but you have to buy tickets to read a chapter and it is only a “rental” that relocks the chapter in a week. Want to re-read a manga? Open your wallet again… One would think that if you are paying money to read something, you’d unlock it permanently. ### 1/5 — Absolutely ridiculous prices for a single chapter. *2023-12-09* I can’t even get a single ticket from watching an ad that lasts over two minutes! This is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly didn’t realize an app could get worse than happy or tapas but these greedy people somehow managed it. ### 1/5 — Tickets *2023-07-27* To unlock episodes you need tickets, 10 tickets per episode, and you need to watch like 3 30 second videos to earn 1 single ticket, or you can take surveys or complete tasks to get free tickets which is a waste of time since it doesn’t even work, tried 10 different things, took hella surveys and haven’t earned a single ticket, they just want your money don’t bother with this. ### 1/5 — Not worth it tbh *2022-07-26* My main problem with this app is the fact that you have to buy tickets to read the manga, spend said ticket, but only have the chapter/episode you bought be available for 7 days. If Im spending my money through tickets on chapters, I shouldnt have a time limit as to when I can read them since I technically purchased them. ### 1/5 — Manga RENTAL *2022-06-20* I’m so glad I looked up an article about this app before I spent money on it. At no point do they explain how this app works. They want you to dump money on it and then you get an unpleasant surprise. So this has some great series on it. BUT say there are 20 chapters of a series you want to read. The first and last 3 are free to read (great!) that leaves 14 chapters you need to 10 tickets to unlock. You get one ticket a day to just log in that’s a 140 day waiting game. Or about $12 if you are paying. Or watching 1400 commercials if you are not paying. That’s right you get pp not tickets for every commercial you unlock. I watched 2 realized I wasn’t getting “tickets” and went trawling for fine print. Here is the kicker. The unlocking is for a week! That’s right you are not buying anything here. You are renting them for ONLY A WEEK. this is the worst business model I’ve every seen. It’s a blatant money grab that only works because this company owns the original license. My suggestion is: read what’s free and forget the rest. I would have dropped $100+ dollars on buying these (or even a membership!) but the return on spending is a big fat zero. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2022-05-14* Tickets are hard to get (unless you buy them) and chs only last for 7 days (then u have to pay again to red that chapter), you cant change the reading option to a long page, and the tapjoy offers are really horrible, considering you need 10 points for 1 ticket and 10 tickets for 1 chapter. ### 1/5 — terrible *2022-04-20* this app is a joke, a crunchyroll membership is a better alternative for this scam. actually very scummy tactic reminds me of those never ending surveys ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fix it if you can *2022-10-24* Love the manga love the app, however the production rate of which chapters come out is to spaced out and that lowers viewership of the mangas on the app. If you can do something about that issue without overwhelming the creators then there would be a major influx of viewers to the app and the mangas on it. ### 5/5 — Has a good foundation for something great *2022-06-18* It is a dream for many to finally have a platform/app for manga like there is for webtoons, but this is coming pretty close to it. It is easy to navigate, but the pricing structure could use some help, mostly due to it be almost half price as a standard manga per chapter, but you can only rent the chapters where with webtoons at least you own them. I hope it can continue to grow and become something every wants, an easy way to access manga and support the artist who create them. ### 5/5 — Add more manga *2021-07-31* Add more manga like precure, dragon ball, naruto, etc. ### 4/5 — Great stories available *2025-11-12* There’s plenty of wonderful stories, but with how it feels a little to greedy idk. Wish they would make it more like tapas so years later if I want to reread a story I don’t have to repurchase it, oh well. ### 4/5 — Echt gut eigentlich *2024-08-16* Ich mag die ab sehr und Werbung kommt auch gar nicht vor nur so ganz kurze die dauern auch nicht lange doch ich würde es gerne mögen wenn du die mangas auch in anderen Sprachen lesen kannst ### 4/5 — Flat rate *2022-12-05* I love the manga they provide in this app, love how it’s set up. Sadly I wished they had a flat rate set up to read unlimited for a certain price. I wouldn’t mind paying $5 per month if I can ready unlimited. But $1 per chapter? That’s a bit much. And the wait and read is hard because I would have to wait three days just to read one chapter of many of my favorite manga. Wouldn’t know which one to read. ### 4/5 — Possible app idea *2021-10-27* Hey so I’m American, I live in the middle of America in utah. I love reading manga manhwa and the likes and this app is amazing I love it! It’s cool and the comics are great but I’m used to flipping through them by scrolling up and down or from left to right. It’s kinda weird having to read this like I’d read manga. —So I think it would be great if we could choose the reading format, like some way to flip it so you scroll the other way ### 4/5 — Honestly really great!! *2021-07-19* Okay so, this app is WAY cheaper considering other apps. The 2 issues I have is with this app so far is, a chapter bought with tickets is only available for 7 days and the lack of manga. I know some may be added in the future but may be slow to do so. Other than that it’s pretty good. ### 2/5 — Purchases are NOT permanent *2025-01-22* Be aware before spending any money. Chapters unlocked via real $$ are only unlocked for 7 days. I should have checked the other reviews before spending money. Won’t make that mistake again. Unfortunate since this could have been a good platform with a variety of exclusive titles that I would otherwise happily spend money on. There is of course the option to spend your time via ads unlocking free chapters if you aren’t in a position to spend money. Also, if you can keep up with a series there is a good free chapter buffer of the 3 newest chapters. ### 2/5 — Great app but the tickets are ridiculous *2024-08-11* I do understand that a app developer would like to profit from the app but even when you watch adds you need to watch for a long time for a 1 chapter, although the first 3 chapters are free just to immerse you into it but i personally think I won’t be using this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
