Happy reading!
The app works pretty well and I really like the way they have everything organized. There are only a few issues. When reading manga, 2 page spreads are not joined so you have to go back and forth to read them. When reading e books in paged mode, the text gets cut off by the rounded corner on the bottom left and vertical scroll is activated so you have to scroll a little bit to read everything.I wish that the app would automatically proceed to the next part when it is something that you have access to instead of making you press the next part button. I also wish the series share button would allow you to open the page in a browser rather than just share. Going to the series page is how to find out if there is a physical print of the series. It’s a shame that only about 10% of series get physical prints according to the numbers on the website but it’s understandable.The subscription is a pretty good deal if you find a couple new series that you like that are still publishing. However, access to the backlog is limited. You might end up having to spend $25+ to get caught up on a series so that you can actually use the subscription.
Worked Fine

For the little I used the app it worked fine. What drove me to delete the app was the few manga I was interested in were all paid. Average at $8 a piece. So im good, im not gonna spend money on another service with a smaller selection subscribing or buying.
Finally, out of Beta!

The beta app has been the go-to location for mobile access to JNC for some time - long ago eclipsing the now-defunct prior app. As a user for quite some time, the current app gives an all around good app experience for staying up to date with the latest JNC content.
The app is broken, again

This review is for their app. Not bad when it works, but it usually has bugs. When you get a stable version you like, it eventually stops loading properly and you have to update. My problem is right now the upgraded app isn’t working at all! It seems to have lost all my reading history and won’t even show chapter titles.
