Awkward and lots of missing volumes

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

Amazing wish he still worked on it

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.

Good idea, but missing too many series

It would be nice if there was an option for users to scan and add in titles manually, because when I tried scanning a few of my series, nothing happened and it simply said that it was an invalid isbn before crashing. (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.

Cool app

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!!

Cool idea, does not work at all.

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.
