The refresh button for each page doesn’t work either, it’s just for looks. Frustrating app along will all the ads. Paying subscription helps agains ads but thats about it, nothing else works despite all the updates. Don’t use this app and look for a more useful one. ### 3/5 — Simplicity *2026-07-04, version 2.7.14* My favourite is that u don’t even gotta sign in or stuff, you just download and read, only problem is that it doesn’t got lots of options for read ### 3/5 — Gone downhill *2026-06-24, version 2.7.13* This app used to be the best app to read pretty much anything you want, but they keep changing and removing content. ### 4/5 — It’s decent *2026-06-20, version 2.7.11* Sometimes it’s wonky, but it gets the job done ### 2/5 — The app is broken *2026-06-15, version 2.7.10* Why does it seem after every update the app stops working and all chapters get deleted. ### 2/5 — Fixed this please *2026-06-14, version 2.7.9* I tried to read a manga but it told me to verify when I tried to it kept closing out not knowing what was going on so I tried on more time on a different manga but the same results keep happening. ### 4/5 — My Rating... *2026-05-14, version 2.7.3* It's a good app except the fact it has ads and it doesn't have the other manhwas I read before on a different manhwa app that got banned. If you could fix these 2 problems it would be great. Other than these, I have had no problem with it! ### 5/5 — Reliable little app *2026-05-12, version 2.7.2* Sometimes companies go after the websites hosting manga, this provides a multitude of sources and ways to transfer your progress in the even that source you’ve been using goes down. ### 4/5 — . *2026-05-12, version 2.7.1* Well it is great but I have recently seen that it is super slow and the manga is not fetching I really hope they can fix that ### 3/5 — Loading Issues *2026-05-12, version 2.7.1* I so badly want to love this app. I pay for the monthly subscription because I appreciate how large the library of this app is but it feels like every time I go to use it I either cannot open a manga or if I’m reading pages just won’t load for me. I check for updates, close/reopen the app, have even uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Love the app just wish the loading issue wasn’t a problem. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2026-05-11* Ich finde die App an sich Mega,aber ich finde es schade das sie so oft hängt und viele Kapitel nicht laden oder man überhaupt nicht reinkommt.Aber an sich Mega gut ### 5/5 — Free A *2026-05-11, version 2.7.1* Great app but the free A source keeps crashing after new update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recommend for 18+ and more *2026-07-22, version 2.7.15* WTF is This i wanted to to read jjk but instead I saw gojo geto doing the things and it’s for 12+ it needed to be 18+ and more because like you gave be an actually a trauma ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-13, version 2.7.14* Nothing but ads and partial pages or images that won’t load. ### 1/5 — Trash add greed *2026-07-09, version 2.7.14* Booo ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load correctly *2026-06-18, version 2.7.11* Some pages dont load at all for some reason ### 1/5 — Loading *2026-06-16, version 2.7.10* Why do I need to do a security check every time I try to see updates like why? And it doesn’t even work!! ### 1/5 — Loading *2026-05-22, version 2.7.6* Why do I need to do a security check every time I try to see updates like why? And it doesn’t even work!! ### 1/5 — Could be better *2026-05-12, version 2.7.2* This has been one of the best manga reading apps I’ve ever had. However, since downloading the latest version, everything has been going downhill. I’ve been dealing with it for a for months now but only to know which ones I’m reading and then going to a different platform to continue reading them. and it’s honestly frustrating and annoying. Most of the ones I read do update anymore or it says “failure to reach manga or whatever”. Honestly, I’m considering deleting the app. I wish I could go back to the previous version. In my opinion there was nothing wrong with it then. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t fixed pro *2026-04-20, version 2.6.10* Pro version has been broken for months and no fix has been presented ### 1/5 — Yuri *2026-04-06, version 2.6.9* There’s no yuri/gl filter but there’s a yoai filter 😢. I guess it’s because bl is more popular but what about us gl fans ### 1/5 — No longer supporting pro *2026-03-17, version 2.6.5* No longer supporting pro manga have had issues for months now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome manga reader. *2026-08-17, version 2.8.3* Very fun to read on, all the manhwa/manga I wanna read are on here 🥺🫶 tysm. So much variety as well and the filters are great. I discovered so many new reads ### 5/5 — Tu no mete cabra sarabanbiche *2026-08-11, version 2.8.2* Tú no mete cabra sarabanbiche Tú no mete cabra sarabanbiche Tú no mete cabra sarabanbiche. ### 5/5 — This is awesome but *2026-07-28, version 2.8.0* Okay the new update and stuff downgraded the quality it was so good it had every manga/ mahwa i wanted but now it sucks ### 5/5 — Recommended for gooners *2026-07-08, version 2.7.14* Very horny books and manga books ### 5/5 — Recommend *2026-07-08, version 2.7.14* I 100% recommend!!!🥰 ### 5/5 — So far the best manga app!!! *2026-07-05, version 2.7.14* Very straightforward! The price for subscription without ads is reasonable and the library is HUGE! Simple but effective app for manga/manhwa/manhua readers ### 5/5 — NO ADS!!! *2026-06-26, version 2.7.13* This app has literally everything ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-21, version 2.7.5* I love this app! That’s all I can say you will love this! ### 5/5 — Best app for manga *2026-05-20, version 2.7.4* This was the best manga/manhua app however two days ago whenever I tried to read it scrolled all the way down to the black chapter end and next chapter wording. No matter what I did it did the same thing and I can’t read anything on it. ### 5/5 — Loading Error *2026-05-19, version 2.7.4* I love the app, but after the update I can’t read any of the manga I had downloaded.
