We want Tapas to stay
I’ve using this app for about 8 years now and it’s been one of the best places to read webcomics, both paid premium and free ones. I can’t imagine this shutting down so suddenly. It feels like an insult to both creators and readers after years of Tapas being one of the largest English-language webcomic apps out there. With Tapas gone, so many novels, comics and legal English language translations will just disappear. I’ve using tapas weekly, if not daily, all these years. Yet now I have no idea what will happen to all the comics and novels I’ve bought. Does my ownership simply evaporate now? Will the whole library that is Tapas cease to be accesible? What about all the new comics and novels that keep getting published? This feels like another show of how digital ownership means nothing, and how clarity is not required when conducting such a huge digital decision that will affect the livelihoods of who knows how many creators. I love Tapas. I love the stories I’ve read. I love its warm community of readers and creators. I love discovering new varied stories at every turn, to read both comics and novels in a single app. So I do beg the higher ups to not shut it down. Sincerely, one of innumerable users.

Tapas platform is closing
I recently found out that Tapas will be closing its platform. Since they made the announcement, it seems all of its content is frozen and no longer capable of downloading new episodes. This makes me very sad because I enjoyed Tapas’ content…particularly the comics. I also liked the free ink awarded on Mondays. That has stopped, but I am more unhappy about not being able to buy below episodes of comics I have previously invested in. I have over 26,000 ink on my account and I can’t even spend it now. I wish Tapas did not have to close because it was a very good site. If I were wealthy, I would buy the platform myself to be honest.

Parent Company Doesn’t Care About Creators or You
They shut down the app abruptly by cutting off any way to buy more ink to unlock episodes. This wouldn’t be the end of the world, as Kakao indicated a goal to integrate on one platform, except none of any customer’s purchased chapters, comics, or novels will be refunded or unlocked on any other apps, any and all ink you’ve bought with money will also not be refunded and will not be transferred. Kakao doesn’t care about being a good business, they just want to take your money as much as they can.

My time is up somehow.
I’ve been using this app since 2023. On every phone I had, I had this app. Now tell me why every Monday now, there is no fortune cookie, no passes to red? I’ve been waiting for weeks to see the fortune Monday return, but it doesn’t it just says “Nothing here today but we still love ya!” It makes me sad cause I can’t even read anymore because I don’t get my passes either
This is me later, I now know that this app is at its end…. BUT WHY DONT WE GET FREE EPISODES NOW. IT MAKES NO SENSE. FREEEEE EPISODES PLZ.

WHY!
Wish there was a chat on the App Store to learn of any other apps that are as good as this one
