It doesn’t even let me read one chapter. ### 1/5 — Ad simulator *2026-05-20, version 1.5* Can’t even navigate the app it’s just ad after ad after ad ### 1/5 — Don’t like this *2026-05-19, version 1.5* So basically when you start everything is going okay but when you try to look for a manga you like it’s not there, for example I was trying to find “protect your purity!” And it wasn’t there, and not only that whenever you want to read a book you’ll get add. But who knows maybe after a while this app will get more manga content but idk ### 3/5 — Way too many ads *2026-05-17, version 1.5* There just too many ads ### 1/5 — So many bugs *2026-05-16* Firstly, I’ve used the website version for years so when I realized there was app I downloaded instantly. Every single thing you click pops up an ad, I tried to pick the manga I wanted to read and the number of chapters changed every time. Not only that the chapters didn’t load at all and if it did it was a chapter from a completely different manga. Completely irritated. ### 1/5 — The books dont even load! *2026-05-15, version 1.5* Terrible, i keep opening darkfall and it keeps staying blank. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-05-15, version 1.5* Been trying to read this manga for 20 minutes now I find the chapter, but I can’t actually find the pages of the chapter. I haven’t been able to read it. Very disappoint. ### 1/5 — bad *2026-05-07, version 1.5* nothing loads and mangas r under wrong titles ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So laggy *2026-07-02, version 1.5* Im trying to just read and then when i click into any manga or episode it takes years to load and it pisses me off so much. ### 1/5 — DOESNT LOAD *2026-06-16, version 1.5* literally came to this app to finish a book called executioner from webtoons. nothing loads no matter what book i look at. soon as i went back to web toons all those pages work. will be deleting this app the same day i downloaded it. how does literally nothing load ? seems fishy n scammy to me. but i’m going back to webtoons. this app was recommended but in comparison to webtoons. it sucks. i don’t like the layout and all the pesky annoying ADS. Don’t download this app fr ### 1/5 — No good *2026-06-07* What’s the point of making this website into an actual app when it doesn’t work, an app was perfectly fine and then you turn around and make it an app with that pops up with every single button you click with chapter is not loading mango is not loading. This doesn’t really make sense to me. for you to change the website into a Bad idea. 👎🏽 ### 1/5 — Review *2026-06-02* There was way too many ads and I couldn’t even read anything without there being an ad and on top of that, it doesn’t even let you skip the ad until you watch it all the way through. Like why create an app to read if we can’t even read without there being an ad every five seconds. ### 1/5 — Why isn’t the chapter loading *2026-05-29, version 1.5* It’s not loading when I have internet ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-29, version 1.5* It’s the worst app ever!!! The loading sucks. I’ve had this for less than 3 hours and it sucks butt. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-05-29, version 1.5* You can’t scroll. None of the chapters load. Worst idea making it an app. ### 1/5 — LOADING??? *2026-05-27, version 1.5* I’ve been loading a chapter for the past 15 minutes I changed my WiFi twice and turned it on and off THIS IS RIGGED ### 1/5 — The lag *2026-05-25, version 1.5* The app is wonderful, less complicated than the browser. Easier for people not using a computer, but the insane lag every single chapter I try to read is seriously bugging me, and the repetitive ads every three seconds. Please, please just return to the browser ### 1/5 — Not loading *2026-05-24* I've had it for 10 minutes and regret it the only reason why I got the app was to see if it was good and because it wasn't working on safari so it was really bad and weird with WAY to many adds and a looooooong waiting time for it to open AND IT DOESNT EVEN OPEN?! I'll redownload it when it's fixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Laggy *2026-07-11, version 1.5* Also wish it works non internet for bookmark ### 5/5 — it’s good *2026-05-26, version 1.5* i like it but i can’t seem to read any of the chapters ### 5/5 — Yes! *2026-05-09* Amazing app! I love it! I’ve only used the website until now but it’s great. I have no real problems except it takes a while to load the manga. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-04-27* I was just using it online and just found out it was an app love it ### 5/5 — Coool *2026-02-12, version 1.5* This is sooo good I can read every bl I want TYSM Manga Buddy:) ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-04, version 1.3* I love the fact I can read manga on my phone! ### 4/5 — Hii *2026-05-26* Overall good it’s just it won’t load but on the website it works ### 4/5 — The overall *2026-05-23* A lot of ads ### 3/5 — Bad menu functions *2026-08-07* Lost a star due to the fact that it’s nigh impossible to scroll through the lists without accidentally looking at a manga you didn’t want to look at, I’m fine with the ads because that’s what keeps it free ### 3/5 — Ads and load times *2026-07-20* It’s nice to have put constant adds anytime something is selected, can’t scroll well, chapters take forever to load --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
