Ratings and Reviews
Currently best for offline use only
Things I noticed:
1) There's no option for you to search for anything in general. You can only look at the titles they provide in the 'Previews' tab.
2) You can only manually arrange books in your 'Bookshelf' tab, there's no sorting feature yet.
3) Once you open a manga for reading, you need to tap the screen with two-fingers to find the 'Close' and 'Help' options.
I keep the app for offline viewing, but I really hope the developers add more features and improve the bland UI soon. There's so much potential with the app, considering that Renta offers English-licenced manga that I can't find on other digital manga/comics platforms.
I can’t get this app to work (updated)
Update: after all that, I finally got chapters to download by using Firefox on iOS, in the Firefox menu “request mobile site”, which somehow brought up a notice that I was now switched into desktop mode instead, then I switched it back to mobile mode. Then the download buttons finally appeared. For Safari, to get it to work, I went into the settings and toggled off “request desktop site”. The Renta website should add something to its help text about this because if it won’t work with common browser settings people need to know how to make it work.
For the app itself, is there a way to set the view by series, not have the whole shelf cluttered with individual chapters? That would be nice.
//
I bought manga from the Renta website (which was already a frustrating experience because it wouldn’t accept my credit card and I had to refill the entire form every time that happened, why not make it easier by accepting Apple Pay?), and following the directions I’m using the latest iOS and latest Renta app, using Safari, but there’s no download button visible in my library on the website, not in list or gallery view or by chapter or by series. I can’t find the option to download anywhere. If it’s not possible because of location issues or for specific titles then the help text should say that. It’s frustrating to waste time trying to figure out something that won’t ever work.
Great!
It’s pretty much only useful if you bought any of their manga. So if you purchased any of their manga on their website, you can view them offline on this app.
