I have to subscribe/pay for premium first. It was way easier to pay for the chapters alone. Also the premium feature seems to apply to literally every manga they have. Like after one volume everything else is premium. There might be some things I missed that I haven’t listed but so far it was a good app until the premium feature. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your candid feedback.

Please be assured that we will carefully review your feedback as we work to improve our services and pricing options in the future. ### 3/5 — Poor tablet support, coin model *2026-06-19* It’s inexplicably impossible to use the app in fullscreen on an iPad, and the coin thing is obnoxious and only serves to conceal the actual cost of what you’re buying. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We'll share this feedback with our product development team to help guide future improvements. ### 3/5 — Rating *2026-06-02* It’s really good but sometimes there is some I don’t like. My favorite comic is “My Sadistic Boyfriend”. It’s really the best! 😁 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying emaqi. ### 4/5 — How to make it better *2026-02-25* You guys can add a delete button to remove story’s that you don’t want to read but accidently clicked on **Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion regarding removing manga titles from your list. We'll share this feedback with our product development team to help guide future improvements. ### 2/5 — Slow releases and lack of ownership *2026-02-18* They are not caught up to the original language releases for a lot of works, so it’s going to take a while to get to simulpub if that’s what you’re hoping for. There’s no assurance that you will be able to continue viewing anything you’ve purchased either due to license or end of service with emaqi, which makes it less ideal to invest in. If this was a subscription based service, lack of permanence is fine, but paid chapters and volumes need better guarantees than what they have in place at the moment. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We've noted your comments and will use them to help make our app better. ### 4/5 — Why does no one use this often? *2025-12-13* It’s great but I wish that on some of them there was color. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

Manga fans deserve better. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2026-05-05* I’m not going to lie… anything that’s good on here, I can already read for free in my local library. And the only place I have internet, is my local library so it’s the only place I can use this app. And if I did have internet on the go, there must be hundreds of websites offering all of these mangas and more at no cost. That makes the app useless. I could understand if it was like watch an ad, download a manga. And how do I even get those credit things to get the free stuff or anything else? As for the stuff that says “free” there’s nothing I would read. I don’t see any use for this app. And before getting it I thought it might be good. It’s really not. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Our goal is to bring you a wide range of officially licensed titles, including emaqi exclusives. Each series also offers some free chapters to start with and you can also enjoy free chapters every day with our ‘Wait Until Free’ feature. We’ll keep working to make our pricing more attractive. ### 1/5 — Bring Qtoon back *2026-04-22* I like Qtoon better it has color and is way better can u bring it back ### 1/5 — Predatory ratings *2026-03-19* their age ratings are misleading for the American demographic. their “13+” rating has according to their website “suggestive themes or situations, brief nudity”. It gets more explicit with the 16+ rating **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We've noted your comments and will use them to help make our app better. ### 1/5 — … *2026-03-08* I can’t unsee what I saw after reading most of this stuff… **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We've noted your feedback. ### 1/5 — Subscriptin version please *2026-02-07* Offer a subscription version… this coins for partial chapters stuff is abusive to fans. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback on the coin system. We’ll share it with our product team and keep working to make the experience even better for our readers. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous how long you have to wait for free manga *2026-01-20, version 1.12.0* Look this is technically the only app that has anjo which I was interested in. 23 hours to read 12-16 pages is just highway robbery. If you want to read anjo or really an other manga for free just use MangaDex. No ads, no wait, no bs. (The quality of the first couple of chapters suck for anjo but it gets better). Emaqi, you gave some a flicker of hope chewed right up and spat it back at my face. Try to learn more from the superior apps ways to read manga online. ### 1/5 — Ai slop and in app purchases *2026-01-13* There's way too many in app purchases not to mention that it's AI slop, I'm just trying to read bungo stay dogs not spend all my money to read like 3 chapters **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

We've noted your comments and will use them to help make our app better. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate *2025-10-21* It doesn’t give you the ones that you choose. It shows naked parts of women. end it does show some Boku people doing the nasty on it. Do you recommend for beginners but they do have my favorite anime’s on them **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
