MangaX — Read Manga. Right Now. Most manga you want to read hasn't been translated yet. MangaX fixes that. Open any manga site in the built-in browser, tap once, and the translation appears right over the panels — in under 1.5 seconds. The art stays exactly as the artist drew it. Nothing gets cropped, resized, or replaced. The translation engine reads the whole page at once, not bubble by bubble. That means it actually understands what's happening — the tone, the context, who's talking to who — before it translates a single word. Text recognition runs on-device using Apple Vision, so nothing gets sent to a server until it's already been extracted as text. Your images stay on your phone. If you've read a page before, it loads from cache instantly. No repeat processing. No wasted time. MangaX was built by redev.rx studio using Kotlin Multiplatform — the same codebase powering iOS at native speed. Some numbers worth knowing: · Translation time under 1.5 seconds · 98% accuracy across tested titles · 99.9% uptime since launch · 4.8 stars If you've ever put down a series because the translation was months behind — this is for you. Auto-Renewable Subscriptions: - Monthly: $5.99/month, 6M tokens - Monthly Best: $8.99/month, 12M tokens Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase.
