Good App for Manga, Manhwa, & Manhua, but unsafe recently.
This app allowed me to read & keep track of all the Manga, Manhwa, & Manhua I was interested in, but recently an app from a trusted company kept informing me that this app was unsafe when it was opened. I deleted it hoping that it would be fixed when redownloaded, but it still says it is unsafe. I checked the app multiple times on the same day & on different days, & it keeps informing me that it is unsafe. Now I have to use multiple apps & they do not even match the level of this app (such as the # of chapters for each one or they have chapters that I have already read for some & they have no new ones, or the # of chapters are random), & it is also costing me money now too, & from redownloading the app all the Manga, Manhwa, & Manhua that were being kept track of are lost & what chapters I was on was loss too. If this problem had never happened I would give this app at least 5 stars with no problems or complaints about anything.

Good app
The app is good only a few minor issues. When searching for a manga it doesn’t allow certain characters to register like (‘). Also I want to filter my search but you really can’t do the like I want isekai and mecha but I can only check one catagory. Also I want to filter out some category cause I don’t like certain categories but they’re all mixed. Also when reading a series it keeps my progress which is good but sometimes I want to reread the chapters from the beginning I have to manually go back to page 1.then there when I go to next chapter ya doesn’t change chapters till like a few minutes or I have to try again. Also with the current update it doesn’t load the app it’s just has the loading circle and just plain black screen.

Great app but has a problem
I love this love app ability to have TONS of manga and skippable adds. However it does have a pretty big problem that doesn’t allow me to give it 5 stars.
That problem is it not having a good (or even decent) search filter. You can only filter by 1 thing at a time. Like let’s say you want a fantasy and comedy manga. Well you would have to click on one of those two categories and click on each manga individually to see if it has the other category. That’s if it’s even a good one that you like to begin with. Thankfully you don’t get adds every time you click the screen and only get adds when you click an episode or else it will be a different story and I would just give 1 star and delete the app

thanks for your comment!- I will research the "Search Filter" for app
App error
My app stopped working and the only way for me to be able to use it again was for me to delete it and redownload it. I lost all the manga I bookmarked and I can’t remember the names of them all. I enjoy this app and it’s the only one that allows me to read manga for free (with the exception of the no adds, which I bought and it is very useful). Is there anyway for me to get my bookmarked manga back. I never expected my app would crash like that for as long as it was crashing so I didn’t come up with a backup plan for it. Can one of the app creators please help me with this issue so I can continue reading my favorite mangas and webtoons.

We are very sorry about this problem. Currently, the MangaBAT app doesn't have a bookmarked backup feature. We will do research on it soon. thanks!
Issue with update
I don’t know how else to contact you since the support link is busted, but ever since the update, everything is going wrong. First, it crashed every time I opened he app. I tried everything I could until I eventually had to reinstall the app, which I might add, deleted everything I had saved because there is no option to create an account to save your library. Furthermore, I guess “removed copyright content” translates to “we have removed 70-90% of our content” because I cannot find the majority of the items I had saved to my library and the majority of the generic genre filter options have literally not items under them now.
I have literally been using this app for years now and never had issues, but whatever switches you flipped for the last update really screwed things up. Please fix this so we can continue using the app properly as well as your support link so that we actually contact you instead of having to use the review function on the App Store.

Worth paying to not have ads, but
When I first downloaded the app i quickly decided to just pay the amount asked to not have ads (worth it since it’s half the price of one manga book and you get such a huge collection for it). BUT, my biggest issue has just recently started. I’m unsure if it’s a bug that needs an update since I’ve been using this app for almost a year now but sometimes panels won’t load. It will have a big “x” where a page should be. To try to fix it I have to sit there fiddling with the app (turning on and off wifi, closing and reopening, etc). Normally if it occurred once in a while i wouldn’t mind as much but it happens almost every chapter which is quite irritating. I hope they fix this soon !!!

Great app but it really needs to fix some issues
Overall the app was great at the start but the ads eventually became repetitive. It’s fine for the meanwhile but I eventually bought the $10 and it was a life changer! This app legit has every series for the most part, great notifications and everything. The only problem I have is that some series and chapters won’t load completely or just are broken all together. I wouldn’t say it’s a WiFi issue either. But I would also like to see a lower resolution mode that makes it easier to load the panels quicker without losing COMPLETE visibility like manga man used to do!

MangaBat Review
So I just got MangaBat and I have to say that it is incredible! So many manga that I have been planning on reading is right before my eyes and I don’t even have to pay for it! there are many little things that make this app great such as the ability to choose how to turn pages in a manga whether it be up or down, left or right, etc, My only issue with MangaBat is the fact that it has adds but to be frank it’s totally worth it seeing as to how I get to read so much manga FOR FREE! And even if you can’t stand the ads all you have to do is pay for them to be removed!
I give MangaBat a 10/10.

Pretty Good
All things considered this manga app is pretty good! The library is pretty large and the search system/filter is fantastic. One thing I’m nitpicky about is how it saves the reading spot for every single chapter you’ve read. I like to reread manga a lot and there isn’t a really smooth way of going back to the beginning of a chapter without manually scrolling there. And if I want to reread multiple chapters? I just give up. I’d like it if you could save the reading spot of the chapter I’m currently reading and restarting the ones I’m not back to page 1. Thank you 🩷

Lots of issues
There are some annoying bugs and design flaws but worse than anything else, chapter 76 of the manga I’m reading is literally the wrong manga. How do you even do that?!?! I really hate when it jumps from one source to another from chapter to chapter and names of people, places, things, and concepts change. The quality of some of the translations make them incomprehensible. I can get over the occasional a instead of an, or incorrect use of there their they’re, but sometimes the meaning of what’s being said is totally lost.
I wish there was a comment system or a method of reporting problems. I’m not even sure if the people running it can go back and fix problems whether they are small or large. Some issues are things that are so glaring that they must know about them, so they either can’t fix it or choose not to.

Extremely bare bones and underwhelming
So let me get this straight, this app is marketed as “Manga Rock Pro” but has like 1% of the features of the old Manga Rock app. Normally I’m not too picky about appearances but the font on the app is extremely distasteful. And if we’re talking about basics, how about adding a filter to the search feature so that the search feature does more than just help you find a very specific manga? This app was so low quality, I thought it was a work-in-progress, only to see that it hasn’t been updated in 7 months. Honestly my review would be bumped up two stars if they didn’t market this as a replacement for a fantastic app, that they failed to even replicate by 10%. The only slight similarity they share is the very generic layout of the app, and even that is pushing it.

Overall a good app just could use a few improvements.
I’ve been using this app for a while now and I think it’s a good one. Just a few minor issue. Issue one is that many of the series aren’t labeled with all of the applicable tags. I haven’t found any with incorrect tags. What this means however, is that if you do a genre search you aren’t getting all the series that actually fit in that genre. For example. I have come a crossed several series that mention that it is an Isekai story in the summary but it doesn’t list Isekai as a genre tag. One feature I wish they would add is a genre exclusion feature. There are a couple of genres I’m just not interested in but I have no way to keep them out of my feed. It would make this app a lot more user friendly.

It’s just really good (with a few minor issues)
I used it for about 2 weeks with ads and just recently just spent the $10 to not get ads. There is tons of manga and manhwas on it and you can save them for later (it also tells you when it updates!). The ads, while short and skippable, did get a bit annoying after a while as some chapters had extraneous x.1, x.2, etc, so you would get multiple ads in a row while trying to skip to the next chapter. The $10 was well worth it imo. I also love how you can choose to read manga in a swipe left/right fashion instead of the basic scrolling, that’s a really nice touch and allows for you to actually understand what your reading easier.
Overall, really great, highly recommend.

Love the app, but it keeps crashing when I read into 12 chapters.
Wonderful app, I use it daily. As of late on my iPhone, it crashes when I read a new comic on the app. Then when I restart the app, it crashes again on the same comic over and over, even on different comics. Not sure if I need to update my iOS, but it’s been happening the last 4 weeks. If anyone else is experiencing this problem, I would love to know. It might be a mini glitch, but it is getting quite frustrating these last few weeks. Other than that, love the app, and it’s really well developed.

Great app, but has some problems.
Overall, when compared to most other manga apps out there this one is amazing in a lot of ways, but the one main issue I have with this app is that some series just won’t load. On certain mangas whenever I tap on it, it doesn’t load at all. My screen just sits there spinning even after waiting close to 10 minutes. I’m not sure if anyone else is coming across the same problem but that definitely needs fixed. If that bug gets fixed, and maybe less adds, this app would be one of the best in my opinion.

Great variety, with a few hiccups.
I love the amount of manga that is available on this app. That being said, I have one major complaint. Rereadability is a pain. Once a chapter is read it will stay at the end page. Meaning if you want to reread a series you have to manually swipe back to the first page for each chapter. The only way I’ve found that fixes this is deleting and reinstalling the app, which then leads to having to refund and favorite all those you had previously. Hopefully in a future update the app will add a way to restart a manga from the beginning for rereading.

Really great app!
Been using this app for about a month so far. Wide selection of manga. Not the prettiest or best designed app, but functional. I don’t have any complaints with the ads—all of them were only 30-45 seconds max. Only problem I’ve had is sometimes the app crashes and I have to watch the ad again and some of the chapters don’t load properly. Other than that, great app. Thanks!

UI Could be better
Overall it’s a solid app. I like that it’s a one time purchase to get rid of ads instead of a subscription. I do think that it could be a little better UI-wise. Like if you didn’t have to explicitly choose to go onto the next chapter and you could just scroll as though it was just a long scroll instead of having to click next chapter each time.

Suggestion for an additional function.
Hello author, I have just recently downloaded the app and used it but I love it so much. I have already gotten a version with ads-free for this manga app. Almost all of the titles i love was found in the app, so I never want to lose it ever again. I am wondering if you would consider adding an additional sign-in/log-in function for this app. So that once logged in, your favorite mangas can be saved and shared on multiple devices. This way the users do not have to manually find/add the manga they love if they happen to change to a new phone. Please give this suggestion a well contemplation.

Good
I’d say pretty good other than the incessant review request every time I come back to the app, including if it’s already open and I’m just switching back to it from another app. Other than that, it has many (not all) of the manga, manwa, etc that I search for, and generally more episodes that are currently submitted as translated to English than most other apps. So for that alone I give it a four star, plus the app’s *relatively* easy to use platform. The minus one star is for the annoying review prompts every time I leave the app for 0.5 seconds. But other than that, the ads are not too bad as far as I can remember, though I did buy the ad removal thing, which I think was pretty cheap all things considered. But I am only reviewing this because I’m hoping that it will leave me alone for 3.5 seconds. Do what you will with this info, whether you be user or developer or whatever
