Possibly the best manga reading solution on mobile

It’s amazing how much work has been put into it and how well the extensions ecosystem works, especially for tracking. The fact that so many different APIs can work together to have everything in one place under a beautiful UI just blows my mind. Shoutout to the developer! Thank you so much!

Don’t waste your time, nothing works

Even after I managed to get my server added (the instructions that the app shows in its β€œguide” were completely wrong), the errors are endless. β€œSyncing 0 of 0”, because there’s no library setup, search is completely useless (doesn’t actually search/filter, just shows all results). The only way to actually open a book is from the Continue Reading menu, but no matter which book you select, the chapter list spans ALL BOOKS (chapter 1, chapter 1, chapter 1). Fine, pick a chapter just to get something, but then the app crashes. Can’t believe I wasted so much time on setup only for something that crashes on its most basic function.

Nothing works anymore

Had this app for years but now nothing loads or works

Loading Error

Any timeframe for an app update? Was working fine the first few week and now I continue to get an error when loading landing page or comics.

My app got corrupted within a half hour of downloading.

After I attempted to create an account, it crashed. Forcing my username to be β€œunknown”. If I tried downloading repo’s they would be blank and it would give me some type of error message. It wouldn’t let me delete my account becuse it kept crashing.
