(Most notably kindaichi case files and phoenix) Searching for “Dorohedoro” also brings up nothing, but when you scan it, it adds just fine? Lots of small issues like that seem to pop up within minutes of starting the app…. In theory, this could be great, but as it stands…not so much. ### 1/5 — Cool idea, does not work at all. *2024-05-03* It seems like this app worked in the past but was left abandoned and no longer functions. Issues include: - Can’t add books by searching the title, almost nothing shows up. It couldn’t even find Naruto. - In the rare chance something shows up it’ll only show a few random volumes (found Mushishi but only vol 1, 3, and 6 were on the app.) - Tried to see if scanning the barcodes on books worked, it didn’t. - thinks English volumes of some series are in other languages, gave me an error 20+ times, and locked up the app when I tried scanning anything. - dev seems somewhat active on Twitter however does not post about the app development and appears to ignore any questions that revolve around the app or features I think the worst part is that you have to sign up for the app/website before you can use the app. However, there is no way to delete your account so now my information is in the void waiting for this abandoned site to be compromised. (Deleting an account might do nothing to prevent info leaking in the event of a compromise but it’s at least a little peace of mind) Really wish this worked, very clean interface, some cool ideas are there for sure. Hopefully it gets some development in the future. ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2023-05-22, version 1.1* First, the fact that you have to scan each book to add them is long and not convenient, especially for old serie. Second, soo far 3 books don’t scan and I can’t find them in the research. Third working with book title only. I would like to be able to see the other book from the same author. Forth, i was able to scan 1 book, but when alI looked for the title by reseach, it doesn’t appear. Fifth, I would like to know the number of volume in the series. That most of the reason why I will look for and other applications for my english manga’s inventory. ### 2/5 — Awkward and lots of missing volumes *2025-02-02, version 1.1* It’s a great idea but it’s super awkward to navigate the app and catalogue any volumes, it’s probably perfect if all you have in your collection in new mangas within the last couple years but anything older is either not there at all or only has like three random volumes if you are lucky ### 2/5 — Needs improvement. *2023-12-17* Overall it’s a great app, but it doesn't have older mangas or doesn't even have some. Some of my friends hardly know how the app works and just don't use it anymore. ### 2/5 — Could be great *2022-05-23* Worked great to scan all of my mangas in, in a rather efficient way, but after finally getting them all out in, now my library is just a constant error message. **Developer response:** Sorry you're going through this problem, we'd like to fix this problem as soon as possible. Could you please email us with your username so that we can work on a fix? You can contact us by email at me@raizu.dev ### 3/5 — Good. Needs Improvement. *2022-08-26* First off let this app has a lot of potential. It has a really clean interface and the app is easy to use. Unfortunately the app crashes a lot, doesn’t can older manga (mostly Tokyo Pop), and for some reason some of my volumes of a same series will be added as it’s own series (sailor moon vol 2 goes down as sailor moon 2 and registers as it’s own series). A lot of these mistakes can be fixed if I was just allowed to make my own edits but I can’t. It could also be a lot easier to add manga to your collection. You can search for volumes and go one by one but it’s kind of annoying. It is a free app and I’m sure this is a passion project by the developer so I’m not trying to be to harsh. If this app continues to improve and update this could be easily the best manga app and a must have. I wouldn’t mind paying either if it continues to approve. ### 4/5 — Need more work, but good *2022-07-02, version 1.0* This app is really useful for someone like me who always buys manga each week. The app is well made. I would like tho to see how many there is left to read and which one i haven’t read, not just the number that i own. Other than that. The app does it purpose to keep track of how many series and volume you have and it’s great. ### 5/5 — Amazing wish he still worked on it *2024-08-28* This is literally the perfect manga tracking app besides a couple things I’ve ran into so far. I love how it knows how many volumes are in box sets and it separates series and shows total counts. Buttttt it’s missing a couple of the box sets I own and the volumes don’t have barcodes. I can’t search for the volumes manually unfortunately. But besides that it’s literally perfect considering it’s one guy as far as I know. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2024-05-10, version 1.1* The app is nice when you learn how to use it well. I would like it to support manga in other language and a quick way to see what I have that I haven’t read yet. I love to see the upcoming releases! So much potential!! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-02-17* Very good collection and sorting system for manga! Only problem is that when adding manga without using barcode scanner you have to type in the exact volume name. ### 5/5 — 10/10! *2022-09-24* I love this app! It makes it so freakin easy to tell what I have and don’t have and it’s seamless to add new books after my latest manga haul. Absolutely recommend if you collect as much manga as I do. (It is mainly English titles right now but the Dev has said it will be updated to add other languages later) Keep up the good work Raizu! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-09-21* Loving the app so far and can’t wait for more updates to it! Nice job ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2022-08-14* Had no problem finding most of the manga I had on the interface. Anything I couldn’t find scanned in. Now I don’t have to worry about which manga I’m still trying to piece together at the store. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great app needs more attention *2022-07-21* Really helpful for keeping track of my manga. If you own hundreds of manga and don’t keep track of it than this app is for you. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed! *2022-07-12* I have been looking for a good manga library / inventory app. I wanted something that would know what the volumes where and be able to stack all the books in a series. I really enjoy this app. It’s very clean looking. The scanning tool works well I only had a couple books it could not find. This app will save me much heartache of double buying at a book store (which I have done more then once) I look forward to app updates as the dev has time. Thank you for making this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
