### 5/5 — What a fantastic app!

*2018-11-14*

Kono is a magazine aggregator, which offers access to a wide variety of publications in multiple languages—primarily Chinese and Japanese, although there is a growing amount of magazines in other languages, too! The incredible amount of high-resolution, diverse content is what truly sets Kono apart from similar apps and services; there’s literally something for everybody. I was never a big magazine reader, but Kono has completely changed that; instead of the ridiculous proposition of paying $5 for a single magazine that I will half-read and throw away, with Kono I pay a fraction of that and have an entire world’s worth of constantly-updating content on the go (I can’t recommend this enough if you’re a commuter or you consume any amount of media on your mobile device). I also have to say, I am extremely satisfied with the company’s reception to subscriber feedback and proactive self-improvement, as the app has been getting better and better since I’ve had it. I truly believe that this is the best value for digital media available today.

**Developer response:** Hi Matthew, thanks for your comment and supporting. We really appreciate it. If there's any problem, please feel free to let us know and we will try our best to assist you. Thanks again and hope you enjoy reading. Silver

最近更新後開不了雜誌

### 3/5 — 为什么取消了6个月订阅

*2022-06-21, version 3.14.1*

为什么取消了6个月订阅

### 3/5 — 小圖模糊

*2020-12-18*

雑誌種類尚算多，但文內小圖模糊，完全看不清內容。

**Developer response:** 您好，向您說明：我們正在修復這項問題，但需要比較多時間來調整，原因是當圖片解析度提高，app運行的速度可能會隨之下降，因此需要時間測試其中的平衡。如果遇到圖片太過模糊而影響閱讀的話，也歡迎您來信support@thekono.com，我們也許能協助優先處理該篇文章：）Nicole

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2020-01-14*

Have to always restore purchase. Almost every time I use it! Gets annoying over time. I’ll try for another magazine app.

We need your assistance to check if there's two FB accounts or one is email and the other is FB account. And please feel free to contact us on email: support@thekono.com. We will assist you as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Silver

### 3/5 — Has room to improve

*2013-06-06, version 1.2.7*

Download speed is slow and easy to crash.

### 4/5 — Translate how?

*2023-02-04*

How can I translate magazine from other languages to Chinese?

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review. Due to copyright reasons, Kono Magazine doesn't have a translation feature on the app. If you have other questions, please feel free to email us at support@thekono.com. Thank you! =) Nicole

### 4/5 — 希望換頁的手勢可以換一個

*2020-08-28*

有時候會不小會不小心碰到螢幕，然後就會翻到下一頁。像safari左右滑回上下頁一樣，要從螢幕的低端滑才換換頁，這樣閱讀起來應該會更方便。

**Developer response:** Hi res0901, 感謝您的建議，我們會將您的意見紀錄後轉達給負責部門，希望未來有機會讓此項功能新增到Kono的服務中。謝謝您。 BR, Nicole

### 5/5 — 請停止點擊換頁

*2022-05-24*

希望可以不要用點擊的方式換頁，真的太容易誤觸了讓人覺得非常挫折。

### 5/5 — 好像在大陸下架了，無法續年費

*2019-07-25, version 3.8.14*

收到更新版本的提醒，跳轉app store發現已經在大陸下架了（哭）。超級棒的電子雜誌閱讀app，用了一年體驗非常好。結果現在續費都續不了好傷心。不曉得有沒有解決辦法呢？
