I have been using it for awhile and recently started paying for the monthly. However there is a few gripes. Like. Your reading a manga and all of a sudden just some random storyline appears and when you move to the next chapter. You miss whatever was originally on the chapter that had the random story. I have this issue with multiple mangas on it. Otherwise its awesome! ### 4/5 — Incomplete chapters *2023-07-24* I like the app don’t get me wrong it definitely crashes sometimes but I just give it some time and try again but the real issue is that when the stories start getting good the chapters end and I haven’t seen none my my books that I read so far be updates and trust me I’ve read A LOT of books… I just hope that y’all push the updates so I’m not just left with multiple cliffhangers from different books… ### 3/5 — Its alright so far *2023-04-15* Ive been looking for apps other than webtoon to read manga/manhwa and whatnot, and the comics here are actually pretty good. Ive barely gotten any adds either. But one tjing that peeves me is that you have to pay to finish a comic, like a subscription. I dont think you should have to pay a whole subscription just to finish comics. They should do something like having you do tasks like watch ads or something to read the next episode. But besides that its ok. ### 3/5 — It’s fine *2023-04-02* It’s a good app and everything but there are a few minor trouble that at least I’m having. For example some times the chapters won’t load and end up staying blank which is super annoying or sometimes when I try to open the app it kicks me out and keeps doing that which is also super annoying. Without these troubles it would be an even better app. ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-03-11* The app is good. I’ve only read two stories and neither were complete😅. So far every story i’ve found has been incomplete and i can’t find them online without having to pay. it offers a subscription but i haven’t come across anything i have to pay for yet. i’d say it’s pretty good and everything’s free besides a couple ads after you close out of a book. Other than that im giving 3 stars because i feel like they should tell you if the story is complete or not. ### 4/5 — Great App wish no required membership but great work and very functional UI *2023-01-17, version 2.9* Wish reading didnt need a membership to read but at the same time really good stories and artwork so its worth it if you have the extra money to spend ### 4/5 — When do the episodes update *2022-10-24, version 2.9* I’ve been reading this app comics for almost 3 weeks and I haven’t seen them update, nor new updates of episodes, when are new episodes coming out? ### 4/5 — Good but can be a bit better. *2022-10-18, version 2.9* It’s a good app, I’ll give you that. But their shouldn’t be so many ads, I get that it’s good for profit. But with an ad after every chapter it starts to get annoying. One more thing is that their should be a settings menu for a variety of options, the main thing I’d say is for censoring, cause some people like it uncensored. Other than that though I really do like the app, it is really good. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good but.. *2022-10-07, version 2.9* Overall a good app. Though there are a bit too many ads. And I’m not sure if its only me, but after a little bit it doesn’t save the manga I was reading in the section. 🥲 ### 3/5 — It is ok, but has many issues. *2022-08-31, version 2.6* I got this app and have found that the selection is somewhat lacking. Then I have been having issues where the app crashes between chapters, and every time I close my screen for any reason it will restart the app and cause me to have to reopen the entire manga I was reading. It doesn’t save where I was just which chapter I was reading. So if your almost done with the chapter you will need to scroll all the way through it again to get to where you were. ### 5/5 — How well I am able to read *2022-07-20, version 2.3* Currently I’m reading Dragon Ball Z, and except for the ads on a few pages, I don’t have to have a membership to read throughout most of the book ### 4/5 — So far what I think of this app. *2022-07-10, version 2.2* I haven’t read a lot but as far as now I haven’t have any trouble with the stories I have read. I like it ok so far compared to others. So to say I like it….. well we will see in a few days. So I hope I can enjoy some more. ### 4/5 — Some who got the app *2022-07-07, version 2.2* it’s okay but it does not have what I’m looking for but found something before deleting the app if you put more books what are popular that would be great like yugioh attack on Taitan and demon slayer etc ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointment Money? *2022-09-21, version 2.9* Most of the manga have strangely cut frames that cause images and even text to get cut off. Moreover, if you find a manga you like and that isn’t mis-cut, you can only read the first ten chapters. This might be reasonable if there were more manga with numerous chapters and less glitches. However, as the app is now, I would only read a max of 5 manga. The monthly subscription gives 3 free days, but I’d rather find a different app. ### 1/5 — TRUE App review *2022-07-16, version 2.3* I just got this app yesterday & it says it has all these mangas but when I went to look for JJK or even demon slayer nothing came up. I honestly don’t think this is even a real manga app. As soon as I bought the free trial just to test it out my phone started messing up and I had. Save yourself time and don’t get this trash.. it’s so bad. If you’re looking for a solid manga app I suggest VIZ but not all mangas are on their I think it’s only viz products. I repeat get VIZ not this trash “manga” app. Your welcome!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-06-14, version 2.1* I paid for no ads, because the ads wouldn’t close out when clicked (iPhone 13 Pro Max) then when I finally get to reading, it’s all fine and good, but when you get to the not so work safe stuff, it’s censored… so that was disappointing, it didn’t necessarily take away from the story, but I hate seeing pixelation, if there was a way to switch this off that would be great, but as far as I can tell, there isn’t. Otherwise it’s a good app for reading Manga, quality is great, no lagging, and load times are good. ### 1/5 — Highly NOT recommend *2022-05-26, version 2.0* They advertise that specific mangas will be on there however when you search them up not appears. When you think maybe I didn’t put the title right and try to search it again you get ads galore. I downloaded this app because they advertised BL mangas yet when you search it none show up, then there’s one genre if I’m no mistaken it’s the Fantasy genre that specifically had a BL manwha as the cover. I clicked on it an lo and behold it’s not there. So yea I really don’t recommend it. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your comment. In your case, just try searching Yaoi, since BL is same as Yaoi ### 1/5 — dont buy this app *2022-05-26, version 2.0* i havent used the app alot but thats because I CANT i bought this to read jjba part 7 ans everytime i searched there was an ad and when i got an ad it reset what i wrote so yea the search button is completely useless i guess if u got the premium it might b good but at that point y not buy an official manga subscription from shounen or whatever u wanna read ### 1/5 — Wow *2022-02-10, version 1.7* First off, I searched for all of the mangas I like and couldn’t find any of them. Second, ads for days. I could barely scroll without hitting an ad. Third, they need more genre options because I, being a fan of Yaoi, had to scroll through so much and get hit with an ad every five seconds. Plus, nothing really seemed interesting on here. I even searched for one of the Yaoi mangas I like (because I saw it on their screenshots, it’s called Dependency X) only to find it’s not on there. Don’t put in your screenshots about the app a manga that isn’t even going to be in the app. ### 2/5 — Where to start... *2023-01-15, version 2.9* So ive tried using this app for a few days now and its lacking. No way to get updates for specific stories, no way to zoom while in the app if the words end up being too small, the comic often does not format for screen size correctly, the premium is very expensive, and ultimately its not worth getting into. The stories all seem to be quality though. Improve the QL aspects and i will use this app. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2023-01-03, version 2.9* I paid for premium and there is no download option, have to have internet to read everything still. Also can’t search for mangas through tags, you have to use their genre tab. They force you to read on a continuous scroll even if it’s a manga and not a webtoon, there’s no option to flip pages. ### 2/5 — Wut *2022-11-12, version 2.9* Decided to try it out. First thing I clicked on and a pop up appears saying review the app or I can’t read. You really want a review before I’ve even used your app? Here’s your 2 star. Don’t feel right giving a blind 1 star, but I’m not giving more than 2 when literally all I’ve done is open the app before being forced to do a review. ### 2/5 — UI is lacking *2022-06-15, version 2.1* Unlike other manga reading apps, this one has option to set up a favorites list to keep track of which ones you wanna actually read. It also adds a lot of unnecessary mangas in your “mine” list that you cannot remove or at least I’ve not found a way to remove them. If these are improved I would gladly redo my rating and do premium. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review for manga app *2023-06-22* This manga app has so many amazing k-dramas it’s so nice to just read. It’s the perfect thing, the only thing I would change about this app is it’s ads. Plus you do have to pay I little money to read witch is a little annoying. But other than that it is a great app!!! ### 5/5 — Its a good app *2023-06-05* It may make you pay but if you don’t want to it just askes you to rate the app 5 stars which is much better than paying. Otherwise i see nothing is really bad about this app other than it has a few adds pop up here and there. ### 5/5 — All around 5 stars *2023-05-05* The only thing I would reconsider is maybe having like a free trial or like you don’t have to like put in your credit card or stuff like that and you can like read anime for like three days before it says you can’t read certain amount anymore. ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2023-05-04* They have an impressive amount of books, but the censoring is pretty strong and books are completely free to read other than the last few pages, which is annoying. Nonetheless, I wanted a good way to read new manga and this works great ### 5/5 — OMG I LOVE THIS *2023-04-29* I'm amazed by how good this is. I don't know about others, but I enjoy to Yaoi/Bl section. It's really interesting to read and I get more and more Interested in the stories that I get sad when it as my to pay:(, that's not gonna stop m tho, I still try to find ways to finish ready. Giving this app five star to continue isn't a problem but I'd give it 10 if I could😅. You should get this app, you won't regret it. ### 5/5 — Just started using this app *2023-02-10, version 3.1* I’m my opinion it’s the best when you want to read something. Ever since I got this app I couldn’t stop reading ### 5/5 — Manga reader app *2023-02-01, version 3.0* You can only read so many chapters before you have to buy a subscription, and there is not as many stories to read as other apps. (Rating 5 stars so I can finish a story I started) ### 5/5 — It’s good but… *2023-01-11, version 2.9* It’s very good but here’s the thing when I go to click on a manga comic and I click on the episode it will take forever to load so then I have to keep reloading it and it’s so annoying ### 5/5 — One night with the emperor *2022-12-23, version 2.9* I really like the the emperor on this story an also the main carácter this story has the entire package romance action an comedy what else you need ### 5/5 — Manga *2022-11-11, version 2.9* This app is really amazing there are so many cool story’s to read I love this app so much go check it out it is the best app if you like anime and manga in the first place so please go and check this app out it is really fun and amazing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
