### 2/5 — Missing pages/ Pages won’t load

*2026-04-21, version 1.4*

It’s very unfortunate because I read through two mangas so far with no issues but as of right now there’s missing pages that simply won’t load. At first I thought it was my connection but I see other reviews are having the same issue. Would be nice if you can fix but if not I’ll just move on to the next manga app.

### 1/5 — Does not update anymore

*2026-01-13, version 1.4*

my app just sending new chapters been weeks

### 2/5 — Loading pages

*2025-09-02, version 1.4*

The chapters are there but majority of the time it’s loading pages that never load so if you’re into skipping parts of the story this is for you, if not this is useless

### 2/5 — Missing Pages

*2025-06-14, version 1.4*

I have tried reading several manga and so far all of them have had missing pages which makes it hard to understand the plot. This continues even if you close out and reopen the app.

### 2/5 — Broken stories

*2025-06-08, version 1.4*

Half the pages in every manga are blank and don’t load.  I end up missing crucial plot points. Just disappointing.  I liked the previous version better

### 1/5 — Tooo many duplicates

*2025-03-21, version 1.4*

Edit* 1.4 update fixed most of my concerns. Ty devs <3

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-03-09, version 1.3*

Best free manga/novel app on the App Store with 18+ content, Ads are not overbearing, and most manga and manhwa could be founded here, however the UI is confusing, and there are many random content that shouldn’t be here (just shows random images), and sometimes searching can be quite jiffy, overall ok,
