Ratings and Reviews
Landscape layout for home screen
I love that i can have my iPad propped up and read manga continuously page to page in landscape like i had the physical copies. It makes double page panels spectacular HOWEVER once you exit the manga the home screens force you to go back to vertical until you select another manga to read. I hope in a future update they make it so the whole app can be landscape. Now onto what everyone talks about in the reviews. I'm happy that there is a way to officially support the mangaka on an ereader platform but the mix of currency makes things confusing and frustrating especially when there are several chapters in the middle of a series that will be points only but the chapters previous and following are tickets. Hopefully one day they can switch to a subscriber based model like $0.99/month for 30-60 free chapters so people can keep up with their weekly manga and possibly binge a smaller series or some higher amount to get full access to everything. Other than that the quality is great and the variety is awesome.
Please give this app a try!
I have been reading daily on this app for a little over two months. I have put money into it just to make sure I have a stock of points, for when I start needing to pay for chapters. I just now spent some of those points!
I think this app is a great app for Manga, and it’s really disappointing seeing it pushed way down the App Store list. (The rating bomb for K manga, just goes to show Americans cannot understand Japanese pricing models.)
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of the ad integration. You don’t see them when reading but there are just some weird ways to get points when there shouldn’t be, because points are so cheap.
Once you get used to the pay system, you’ll have no problem, and you will stay for the great titles!
Designed to be as off putting and complicated as possible
For an app that is a basic ebook reader and ebook shop, the method and service the app uses is so unpleasant it makes me simply not want to read the series published. The app lets you buy a volume of manga for essentially the same price as any other digital retailer except you use points instead of money and you have to buy each chapter individually.
The points are simple enough as 99 points = 99 cents but the tickets are the real disaster. For one ticket each day you can read one chapter of a series. This is not only a nightmare for binge reading but so off putting that I’d rather either go somewhere else and read the volume of manga in its entirety or skip the series all together.
The other problem with the tickets is that only a certain number of chapters are free to read with the tickets so if you weren’t planning on buying a later volume of a series you have either wait months or a year for those chapters to enter their “free period” or go somewhere else which would not only be faster but you could read it much sooner.
The service is so needlessly strange I’d rather buy the same product from someone else instead of dealing with this nonsense.
