### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-09-20*

This app is a scam for ur money, they should have ads to unlock episodes like the other manga apps, I am very disappointed. Had high hopes.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the honest feedback - we hear you. Good news: an ad-supported option is something we're actively working on. The reason an app like ours has to charge is simple: the artists behind these episodes need to get paid, and subscriptions are what make that possible. We hope you'll give us another shot and if you want to share more, we're at quentin@flagcat.studio. Best Quentin

### 1/5 — Year subscription

*2026-09-18*

I paid for the year subscription and it cut off early, it’s not supposed to end till July 13 2027

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Membership is handled directly by the App Store. Feel free to contact me at quentin@flagcat.studio if there's anything else I can help with.

### 1/5 — You literally need a subscription to use the app not worth your time

*2026-08-14*

Bad app

**Developer response:** At some point artists need to pay their rent no :D?

### 1/5 — Tout est en ia et payant

*2026-07-22*

Les histoires sont animées et doubler par l’ia tout est payant hormis les 5 premiers épisodes de quelques séries, à fuir

**Developer response:** Tous les dessins sont faits par des artistes, nous utilisons uniquement notre IA propriétaire pour aider lors du processus d'animation. Et nous travaillons avec des studios professionnels de doublage !

### 5/5 — J’adore cette app

*2026-07-22*

Les séries sont vraiment bien

### 5/5 — Anime

*2026-07-20*

I like the storys

### 2/5 — Mid

*2026-07-20*

Honestly its good, free and has okay varieties but the problem is that its filled with unknown love animes

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!
Yes our portfolio is almost exclusively based on romance fantasy series.
Some are adaptations from Asian Best-sellers stories, like The Archduke's Adopted Saint or Satan's Bride!

### 1/5 — Déçu

*2026-07-18*

Alors je l’ai trouvé avec des pubs en disant que WEBTOON et Crunchyroll ne voulait pas qu’on tombe dessus. Bas alors là je suis déçu. La qualité et les histoires sont du style dessus cite shoe drama. Des histoires un peu bateau très peu pour moi. Aucun intérêt. Je suis fan de manga et d’animé mais pas la. 
Trop facile d’inciter les gens ou faire des coups de pub alors que c’est pas la vérité. 
Je reste persuadé qu’ils pourraient être plus honnête au lieu de mentir. 
Bref pas du tout pour moi

**Developer response:** Merci du retour ! Notre catalogue est composé quasi exclusivement de romance fantasy - on a parmi les plus connues en Asie.

### 4/5 — Finished series?

*2026-06-09*

Hi, I discovered this cool new app while looking for animated webtoon to bingewatch. Does this app have a finished series I can check out, or tell me which one is the closest to final episode?

**Developer response:** Thank you! Our service was launched very recently in April and all of our short anime are exclusive, this is why most of our series are currently in season 1 as there have just been released. However, we are committed to produce and release seasons with high velocity. The most advanced series currently is the Adventures of a Demon King's Daughter - season 3 is being released tomorrow! You'll soon have 150 episodes of this amazing story!

### 5/5 — Une app pour les fans d’animé

*2026-06-08*

Très bien conçue et avec beaucoup de contenu très quali je recommande fortement ! Hâte de voire la suite !
