### 1/5 — Subscription Abuse

*2026-08-26, version 26.7.469*

Hi Manta, so I have a problem with your system of service. I have the “standard membership” since I started reading from the app, but lately your system of gems and all have messed up the way I read. I thought by subscribing $4.99 a month would let me read all the comics I would like without having to pay for extra things. That’s what I loved about your app. And I was reading stories up until recently. Now I have to pay gems JUST to continue. This isn’t fair Manta. A lot of your subscribers DON’T HAVE the money because of inflation. You know this. It’s not fair that those of us WHO ALREADY had a membership have to be treated like we need to pay more for something that should be free for anyone regardless. I get that everything’s about money, but you’re gonna lose a lot of subscribers with that train of thought. Now when I like a story and the design and details, I only get a preview and I have to use gems to read the first chapter….that sucks man.
That’s all I had to say. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Love them all!!!

*2026-08-24, version 26.7.469*

Can’t get enough of these stories and being patient for new ones to come out!

### 5/5 — Enjoying

*2026-08-19, version 26.7.469*

To be honest I love reading Manta so much before but I like the old version of menta & payment not this gem or whatsoever and don’t create another web to pay it’s so annoying . Thanks!

### 4/5 — Please make comments optional

*2026-08-16, version 26.7.469*

I love this app- great media but honestly I don’t want to see other people’s comments about the comics im reading- it’s taking away from my experience- can you update the interface to make it optional so I can hide them?
Thanks!

### 1/5 — .

*2026-08-15, version 26.7.469*

Manta needs to stop ignoring the people who support them, start implementing what their customers actually want, and help make the platform a comfortable place again. Forcing changes onto the screen completely destroys the quiet safe space we pay for. The company must listen to user feedback and add a simple toggle switch to turn off these new features immediately to help their user sets navigate the platform in peace.

### 5/5 — Best one yet

*2026-08-15, version 26.7.469*

I become obsessed with this app!!!
And I’m trying to get to the end of under the oak tree and read over and over again
I would recommend this app! :D

### 4/5 — Great but lacking ability to update bought series to full versions

*2026-08-14, version 26.7.469*

I love the app and understand the need for gems to buy series.

For the most part I have no issues with this

However it has recently come to my attention that occasional a series gets releases just as is, and later down the line the full version is also released.

At the moment if you have already bought the normal in order to buy the full you have to pay the full gem price which is quite an amount. This really only applies to the ones that get the full version after the normal (E.g. lady and the beast is the most recent ones but it did happen with winter wolf prior)

While I understand all purchases are final I feel having an upgrade for a much smaller fee would make this more feasible and less of a drain when it does happen.

### 5/5 — Awesomeness

*2026-08-11, version 26.7.469*

Manta is really awesome. I love they have r-rated material too. I really do appreciate the upgrade in gems. It’s nice to have more gems to use to read more Mahnwa 🥰

### 5/5 — Love the variety on this app!

*2026-08-06, version 26.7.467*

For all us girls who like our spicy romance stories there plenty of good options on this app! The subscription is worth the price for the content.

### 5/5 — Good catalog

*2026-08-06, version 26.7.467*

I love the catalog. I like that there are no comments. 

What could do better is to listen to reader’s preferences. I do not like BL so I wish they do not recommend me or advertise me BL. I don’t want to see  them in the for you page.
