About

KariKari

Features
Read full description

KariKari brings together hundreds of comics, manga and webtoons drawn by Brazilian artists. There's action, romance, fantasy, horror, comedy and slice of life, and most of the catalog is free to read. You follow the artists you like and their new chapters show up in your feed as soon as they go live. You can comment, post fanart and write reviews. Saving a work is how you avoid missing a chapter, and favoriting a character builds your own gallery. Over time you end up with lists of what you've read, what you want to read and what your friends are reading. If you draw or write, you can publish for free and get support straight from the people who read you. KariKari is made in Brazil, for the people who read Brazilian comics and for the people who stay up all night drawing them. KARIKARI+ SUBSCRIPTION KariKari+ is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple account at purchase confirmation, and it renews up to 24h before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: KariKari at none against iGames Retro's shown. KariKari also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). iGames Retro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
