Nothing loads

Signed in via web to click the “I’m not a bot button”. Nothing loads, probably due to not bypassing cloudflare/recaptcha or whatever NU is using.

Please add a search option in reading lists

Works as intended, but sometimes reading lists refresh weirdly (novels will no longer be listed by most recent updates). It’s easy enough to use, however, please add a search option in the reading lists, developers! With long reading lists, saved novels become lost, and they are difficult to find again because of the lack of a search bar. Overall 4/5 stars, and I would recommend.

Best app for novel reading



Stopped working

Upon launching the app it crash

Account Sync

It’s mostly ok, doesn’t have built in reader so it links to external pages. Which is fine since I can still access the stuff from NovelIpdates.

The problem is that the account sync is super gimmicky?? In addition, there are bugs everywhere that will freeze. I used it several months ago and it was okay but recently came back and somehow it got worse…. Please fix!

Fantastic App!

What a fantastic app! Reading has never been so easy. I love the user experience from beginning to end. Amazing.

Currently broken

Reading list functionality current broken, errors out. Will update when it works

It broke.

Idk what happened it was working fine a few days ago and suddenly it’s stopped loading My reading lists not to mention all my bookmarks are gone and all my favorites are missing too. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it the app to make sure. It’s a shame I have to go to the website to see my stuff and read it’s not a big deal just kinda annoying

Useless

It doesn’t work anymore

Response from developer

Try updating and see if that gets things working again. You may also need to re-login. Thanks for trying out the app

Great UI and features

This is maybe one of the only apps on App Store for light/web novels... It’s good... sync with novel-updates is great... it’s great that you used novel-updates rather than other sites... I loved this app... Thank you developer!

Responsive dev and good app

I’ve been using the app for over a year and it’s a good way to keep up with translated novels from novelupdates.com. For starters, you need a novelupdates.com account. I can mark which chapters I’ve read so far, something I somehow don’t know how to do in the original novelupdates.com website. You need to use the app frequently for notifications to work but when it works, it’s nice. The Patron links and ads are from translators’ websites, not from the developer. The app is free and the developer doesn’t even put up ads in the app, which is very generous of him. Overall 5/5 stars.

Works perfectly

This app works great it does what I want it to do the little JavaScript button as a godsend.

On essentially the home screen of the app it does need a little bit of a fix essentially the buttons at the bottom intersect with what you’re reading when is minimized so it’s pretty easy to tap the incorrect one but it is manageable. Other than that if only allows me to read what I am looking for with no issues with adds that flip the screen great job on the app.

Notifications Don’t Work

I never get notifications for when a story updates even though I have it bookmarked, favorited, and the like. Still a great app to easily access and read novels on though!

Absolutely terrible

I downloaded this in high hopes because this was rated higher than the novelupdates app, but nope, my hopes were mercilessly dashed.

1. It's not easy to use. As soon as I got on there I was confused as to how to use it. Most apps give tutorials on this, but this app didn't.

2. So many patreon pop ups! I click on a novel--patreon pops up. I click to go back to the novel--patreon is back again. Can I just read, please? T^T

3. Patreon.
4. Patreon.
5, 6, 7, 8. PATREON!!!!

It literally is all patreon. It's so hard to read on this app. I get that they need money but if they keep shoving this site in my face of course I'm paying them $0. I haven't read a single novel yet because literally everything links back to patreon. Get this app if you like to waste money!

Response from developer

Firstly, thanks for using the app. Secondly, this was just a passion product that I made for myself but decided to release because I thought others would enjoy it, so I can understand that it can be confusing (because I built it for myself). However, I think if you use novelupdates.com then it should be easy to understand to use. I'll look into adding a FAQ. Lastly, the app serves no ads directly as it's basically a portal to allow you to read novels on the go. The Patreon pop ups are probably from the sites that you are reading from and I have no control over that. I did add the ability to disable javascript, which does a good job at stopping pop ups that hinder reading. Let me know if you have any concerns or request through the feedback button in app or support email.

Liked it

I really like this app, it keeps me updated all the time but these days the app keeps shutting down, like when I try to go to a chapter the app shuts down and so I can’t read the novel anymore

Update December 18, 2017

I am unable to login to my account on top of that the novel releases doesn’t appear

I hope you can fix it😢😢

Thanks for using the app. Currently working on a fix

Amazing App

One of the best apps I’ve ever used. Developer cares a lot about the app and is responsive. Highly recommended!

Still crashes on iPhone 6s

Application crashes while trying to load my reading list, after I successfully logged in. Please check into it, as this application seems very interesting and comparable to "MangaStorm" if the feature of reading the novels straight from the application works. Especially, being able to read all the contents of the different translation websites in under one beautiful and neat format - not being as messy as some of the original sites' pages.

Thanks for giving the time and consideration for updating this application as well as providing a very useful application for reading my light novels.

Arigatou~
