It’s better than launch but still rough
Okay, so originally I gave a one star but since then there have been improvements.
1. Offline downloading is now available
2. You can now sort by series and reading progression…mostly
Also, there are some things I like:
Reading is smoother than old the app and the app doesn’t crash like the old one.
You can also just keep reading to go straight to the next volume which makes binging easier
They also do seem to be actively working on improving the app
So why only 3 stars?
1. No bookmarks, no way to mark book as read (which since reading progress was lost from the old app and is not coming back) would have been nice so I don’t have to open and flip through a book to finish it)
2. If you sort by series, you can’t combine it with sorting by reading progression.
3. Light novel images don’t allow you to see the images fullsized or zoom in so, LN images can’t be viewed legibly on mobile devices
4. No bookshelves. Bookshelves were great for curating as well as grouping what you’re actively reading. Just having one big library makes it a pain.
Again though, I am hopeful it will work improve as it’s not the disaster it was at launch

Do not use this app update
I brought multiple manga over a year ago and have been struggling for two months since they forced a move to a new app. After all this time I have an empty account all purchases gone and still cannot be recovered, the support team seem stuck on the same process which having done what they asked I cannot redo. If you force people to do something make sure the process works and they don’t loose what they worked to own. 0 stars if I could but I have to select at least one …
That was my original review there were lots of issues for me mainly caused by using a google account in transfer you can’t and have to go through login as email. Modern web browsers however auto login when detecting the option. I thank support for there time on this as frustrating as it was as they had to delete the account three times now I think it’s time to move email addresses

Trash, nowhere near as good as the old one
A pointless update resulted in the old app becoming unusable and Japanese language only. The new app is complete and utter trash, and the prices have completely skyrocketed compared to what they used to be.
Tons of series were permanently removed and disappeared, so you might have the first two books, but then you have to switch to yet another app to buy books three onward.
Haven’t bought a single thing since they switched and I never will again, even though I’ve spent well over a thousand dollars on books before this. What a waste.

Evil
I’m shocked. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on manga, and I’ve slowly downloaded my files for offline viewing, and arranged into my bookshelf collection.
Now out of nowhere, all my downloads are forcibly deleted, and I’m forced to a new app. And every file must be downloaded one by one again. I don’t even see a bulk download feature.
You cannot trust this company with your money. They have shown they will remove your content and there’s nothing you can do about it.
