Ratings and Reviews
The worst manga app I’ve ever had the displeasure of using.
I’m positively baffled at how this horrid software made it out the door. To begin, the way the service itself is structured is still a mystery to me. There are a total of 3 currencies which you use to unlock chapters, and even if you paid for the currency to unlock chapters they’re only unlocked for three days? On top of that, manga chapters are artificially broken into several parts meaning you have to spend MORE money to read everything. If my math is correct, it’s cheaper to buy print for some of these series. At least then you get to keep the manga forever and not just THREE DAYS. Oh, and screenshooting is a ban-able offense.
Furthermore, the catalogue of series on offer is incredibly lackluster, too. Lots of vapid, erotic schlock and only a handful of standout series. Even if you find something you’d want to read, the app has issues of blank pages requiring a restart.
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have a monthly subscription like other services do. Every single aspect of this app is so blatantly anti consumer that I’m shocked that it launches in the state it did. If they do a complete overhaul of the entire structure of the app, maybe there’s something here- but for now- don’t even think about downloading this.
Awful monetization and censorship
Look, I get it. They need to make money but this is insanity. They break up chapters into multiple parts then tout you can read up to 8 free chapters per day if you read twice a day. Then you have to pay per chapter which isn’t a chapter really since they’re segmented. I want to support the industry but this is just predatory. On top of that there are 3 currencies. It makes it super confusing. Oh and when you unlock a ‘chapter’ it’s only for a set period. You can’t go back after a couple days and re-read it. You’d have to pay again to unlock it.
On top of that the censorship is purely insane. They put massive black boxes of everything and anything. I’ve seen a black sensor box over a knee. Like what?
Viz figured out a solid model. Webtoons has a different but still great model. Just mimic one of those and this could be a decent app
Hope you like your manga HEAVILY censored with intrusive monetization.
The censorship is ridiculous in this app, you have black bars over pretty much anything a woman wears that shows more skin than a turleneck sweater. No, even then, it could happen. They’ve put black bars over a woman just standing there in jeans. A woman simply EXISTING is too offensive to be seen without a censor bar.
And you can’t read more than like 5 pages in a row without the app bugging you about running out of free views and requiring money. It will do this several times within a single chapter. It’s incredibly annoying and ruins the flow of the manga. It’s monetized like those predatory games that try to get children to tap away money from their unknowing parents’ cards.
Do not use this. If you want to support these manga, there are plenty of better options.
