### 3/5 — It’s fine

*2026-08-30, version 3.9.10*

Free coins expire which is pretty weird considering they never give you enough to actually buy anything. I also don’t really like how you have to pay coins to read completed series (or watch an ad to unlock chapters individually while also getting adds at the beginning of the chapter as well). It is really cool being able to read other peoples comics tho :^

### 2/5 — Membership is trash

*2026-08-30, version 3.9.10*

The only reason I’m giving two stars are for the comics, I opened membership and still have ads also all the comics you unlock with $$$ membership wouldn’t do anything

### 3/5 — Yaoi..

*2026-08-30, version 3.9.10*

It’s a pretty good app but I really wish there was more Yaoi,BLB,BL,MLM etc in a huge yaoi and bl fan

### 4/5 — I love webtoon but the ads are getting tiring

*2026-08-29, version 3.9.10*

I really enjoy webtoon and have been using it for years. There are great comics to read, but lately there are so many ads. It used to not be like this and it’s very upsetting. One of my favorite series used to not have ads but now all of a sudden you need to watch an ad just to read the episode. Also there is ad pop ups all the time now when you first click on an episode. It’s making me want to use the app less and less. As an old user it is very disappointing.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-08-29, version 3.9.10*

Why have to be ads!?

### 2/5 — Dramatic decline

*2026-08-29, version 3.9.10*

I used to love this app so much I’d try to get friends to download it. The current quantity and invasive mess of ads on this app would now make me ashamed to do so. I used this app for over ten years and have only watched it decline. Now there is a paid ad on every. Single. Episode. Comics are stashed behind bloated paywalls. Loved a finished comic and want to read it again? Better cough up. It’s finally reached the point where I am leaving webtoon behind. A ten second google led me to a platform with better UI, more released chapters, superb translations, nothing locked behind any paywall, and all the comics/manhwa I’ve grown to appreciate. If you want the best reading experience, it won’t be found on webtoon.

### 3/5 — Short dramas

*2026-08-28, version 3.9.10*

3 stars for short drama. Know where to stop. The UI is getting yucker

### 3/5 — Unecessary updates

*2026-08-28, version 3.9.10*

I love this app. I have used this app for more than five years. Guys. Take off the short clips. Nobody wants that. Leave the adaptations to anime and Korean television. And we don't need to see the users comments on the main screen. You're turning section into a weird social media and it'll destroy it.

### 2/5 — Double paying?

*2026-08-28, version 3.9.10*

It not normal that episode that I already paid and that is already unlock is lock again after a while and I have to pay again that str8 thief!

### 2/5 — The adds

*2026-08-28, version 3.9.10*

The adds keep pausing my music

### 5/5 — Je l’aime trop cet app

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.10*

Il faudrait qu’elle soit au top

### 4/5 — Add more watch eps

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.10*

This is amazing! I love this app; the beautiful mangas and comics are wonderful. However, I would like to see more voice actors for the stories, as it makes them feel so alive, especially with Osora, Down to Earth, and Situationship.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.9*

I have found that some stores are vary behind.

### 5/5 — Moscow calling

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.9*

Bingo!

### 2/5 — Waiting is horrible

*2026-08-26, version 3.9.9*

For those who don’t want to read the long review, the bottom line is the last paragraph.

Okay, I’ve been using this app since 2016, so I’ve seen some changes… but it’s gotten out of hand. Although it was frustrating to lose access to the episodes being fresh off the press, I understood why series started added coin requirements to unlock new episodes as long as the free ones were released on a weekly basis as well. I’m not a fan of ads, but I was even okay when ad episodes were introduced so that the poor people could have an opportunity to read a couple more if they wanted.

Where I draw the line is the series that a) the non payers are ~20 episodes behind what’s released and b) the poor people having to wait *13 years* to read the last 4 episodes teenage mercenary??? I don’t get upset easily, but this seems wayyyy too ridiculous for us to be dealing with. Even smaller waits like A Child Who Looks Like Me was getting on my nerves since the release date kept getting pushed back to where we have to wait nearly a year.

So to get to my bottom line, go ahead and add your different tiers for the payers, but please stop punishing the poor people by withholding episodes past a weekly release basis. It’s not making me more likely to pay money, just more likely for me to delete the app altogether which breaks my heart since I have loved Webtoon since I found it. I was hoping it was a bug that would be fixed, but I (and many others) have waited since March and there has not been a change yet.

### 2/5 — Webtoon has jumped off a cliff

*2026-08-26, version 3.9.9*

I have been reading webtoons since 2018 and I have to say the quality of the app has taken a steep nosedive. It is absolutely littered with ads at every moment. What has really set me off though, is the fact that now you are given an ad every time you open an episode. They take up half of the reading space and in order to have a half decent reading experience, you have to wait for it to finish in order to close it out. I used to enthusiastically recommend this app to others, but now I would actually recommend against using it as the experience is so bad.

### 1/5 — miss prime time

*2026-08-31, version 3.9.10*

app used to be good before you put ads everywhere, seriously? while im reading?

### 1/5 — Ads on series I was already reading

*2026-08-30, version 3.9.10*

Put an add on ones I read in the past from were I left off even tho it didn’t make me watch adds before

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.10*

There are so many ads everywhere now.

### 1/5 — Time limit

*2026-08-27, version 3.9.10*

Hello, 

It is really bad that we have to wait so long just to read entire series or else, we are forced to watch announcements. There are many people who can read fast. 

Thank you.

### 1/5 — So many ads. Get rid of daily passes

*2026-08-25, version 3.9.9*

Get rid of daily passes

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2026-08-25, version 3.9.9*

Now it’s better to use your browser.  They added these stupid video adds that can’t be blocked on the app and it makes every chapter a 5 sec wait before you can read.  Super trashy.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-08-25, version 3.9.9*

Full of manipulative gimmicks, unskippable ads that take up more than half of your screen, and an extremely user UNfriendly UI. it’s awful and just getting worse all the time.

### 1/5 — Ads ruined it

*2026-08-24, version 3.9.9*

This app used to be great but now it is flooded with ads. I got so sick of using it. Anyone know of a better place to read webcomics?

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-24, version 3.9.9*

Been reading since 2017 dropped everything I read besides unordinary now I drop even that webtoon doesn’t allow their mcs to become dark I’ve been waiting years for the mc in unordinary to snap and kill but it won’t happen webtoon is a corporate shill that won’t allow a brutal mc that kills stories drag on forever with zero character development I’m done

### 1/5 — slop

*2026-08-23, version 3.9.9*

uses genAI to make pointless features, and mistreats creators
