Update this app please. ### 2/5 — What *2021-10-25* I haven’t even used the app because I can’t it wasn’t updated in a while so it’s not able to be used on my phone since the app itself isn’t updated and I’m kinda mad bc I want to read this one series ### 3/5 — please update the app *2021-09-14, version 2.3* please update :( ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-06-30, version 2.3* It doesn’t work on the newest iOS version ### 1/5 — Please update the app!! *2021-03-28, version 2.3* I’m a huge fan of Yen Press. I do prefer physical copies, but sometimes I can’t afford to pay exorbitant amounts of money for OOP copies so I want to buy digital and an app is the best way to do that. I hate using a browser on my phone for manga. Please get on this, Yen Press. ### 1/5 — App hasn’t been updated in 6 years *2021-03-10* It’s safe to say that they have abandoned this app. The layout and UI still function like it was meant for an iPhone 4 and doesn’t work on modern devices. You’re better off buying the physical copies if you’re a fan of their library. ### 1/5 — App hasn’t updated in six years don’t download *2021-02-14, version 2.3* This apps been out of date for some time with no sign of ever being updated ### 1/5 — PAY FOR EVERYTHING 😡 *2021-01-22, version 2.3* U can’t read any manga unless u pay! What the heck!? I wanted to read maximum ride vol 5 cuz meh friend wast done with it and I couldn’t wait so I downloaded the app... when I searched up maximum ride... what do u know!? 11 BUCKS FOR 1 BOOK WHAT THE HECK!? 0 stars 😡 ### 1/5 — Absolute junk *2020-12-31, version 2.3* This app is so low quality with the categories and sells books for a much too high price - where you can get a better copy on amazon for half price. It was incredibly surprising that this app was being sponsored in the MAXIMUM RIDE manags... Especially since it was such a garbage reading platform. I do not recommend getting this app in the slightest - it is incredibly hard to navigate and overall shouldn't be bought from or used by anyone at all. To make this app useable or better... Have things more sorted out then they are and just trash everything there and start new - and don't get a three year old to design it. ### 1/5 — App is totally broken *2020-10-21, version 2.3* It just doesn’t work. Can’t they hire some one to refurbish this app. Once upon a time it used to work… ### 1/5 — So Bad *2020-07-12* The yen press app is completely inferior to the biz media app and is missing hundreds of titles they should be carrying. I was expecting more of a monthly subscription for the entire library of manga like the Viz App but was sadly mistaken. I would love for yen press to fix these issues and layouts and would be more than willing to come back and pay! ### 1/5 — Awful!!!! *2020-03-15, version 2.3* You have to pay to read the books. The add in the paper copy of Maximum ride said they were all free so this app is a scam DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-11-22* This app hasn’t been updated in eons. Books that I have paid for will not re-upload after they have been archived. There are landscape/portrait orientation issues that make the app virtually unusable. If you want to buy Yen books, do it on comixology. I’m going to bite the bullet and rebuy them on comixology, as this app just isn’t worth the effort. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update *2025-04-25, version 2.3* This app looks like it hasn’t been updated in 10 years! Either please update or take it out of the store? Maybe make a new app so we can read your manga!! Thank you!! ### 1/5 — Updating *2025-02-08, version 2.3* Please update the app cause I can’t install it at least update it ### 1/5 — UPDATE THE APP *2023-12-09, version 2.3* Please update your app so older Apple products can use it or make a version for Android please. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work with Iphone 14 *2023-08-06, version 2.3* Doesnt work on iphone 14. It says “developer needs to update in order to work on my iphone 14” its a shame as they’re taking over “honey lemon soda” and I cant even read it on the app. ### 1/5 — Hi *2022-09-18, version 2.3* This app needs to be updated for me to use it which is awkward ### 1/5 — Update!!! *2022-08-25, version 2.3* Seriously the last update for this app was for the iOS 7 8 years ago. We are on iOS 13 with 14 coming by next year. Either update the app to be usable for the newer phones or remove the app from the apple store. ### 1/5 — Update the app for IOS *2021-12-24, version 2.3* I’m not even able to get into the app so how am I supposed to read on this app? ### 1/5 — Don’t even use but it’s still here? *2021-12-07, version 2.3* I never used Yen Press, so I decided to delete it but it’s still here. Don’t recommend the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open the app now *2021-07-17, version 2.3* This app feels like it’s been abandoned. ### 1/5 — Update *2021-07-14, version 2.3* It’s been 7 YEARS from the last update it isn’t compatible for iPhone anymore.
