This is actually one of the best comic/manga apps in terms of design and function. It seems lower rated than others purely because it doesn't have enough content yet in some areas. Particularly impressive is the ability to move between multiple chapters automatically as you scroll down completely seamlessly. There is no 'refresh' or 'load delay', just as you scroll down the next chapter is already there and loaded somehow. That's really cool. So yeah, well designed app.

The general story lines Iof the five or six I read read were ok, but there were a lot of issues I couldn't over look. Grammar was awful, characteristics would randomly change (hair color and style, eye color and shape, things like that), stories could be inconsistent, felt rushed, and some thing's just didn't make sense. I understand most of these are armature made, but people should try to take more pride and put more time into what they publish. I don't want to wade through a dozen rotten manga to find one good one. And unfortunately the ones I read were on the 'hottest' list, so I don't see them getting much better.

I used to love this app! Good comics, easy currency, not too many ads. Now, it's all ads. Everything that used to be free requires you to watch an ad now. They've also added ads to the ends of each chapter. Basically, now if you want any coins (even the daily ones just for opening the app or the 10 reward coins for reading for 5 minutes) you have to watch an ad. I was fine with it when it was just ads on chapters and to unlock chapters, but they've gone too far. 😤

It has a wide selection to read. Sonetimes coins are hard to come by without purchasing. I've experienced a few times where one of the comics I am reading is missing a lot of pages ( they are all blank pages) no matter what I do, I can not get those pages to appear and end up missing key points of the story. Another issue i have is, in order to re-read certain stories, you have to repurchase the chapter. As someone who likes to re-read the previous chapter as a refresher, I find it aggravating.

Needing lots of gems aside (I use many apps so this is normal for me), my biggest issue is the translations. Typos, incorrect pronoun usage, wrong synonyms (to, too, and two or example), and sometimes the bad grammar itself requiring me to do mental gymnastics. Not all series have bad translations though, so it's inconsistent across the app. I'm able to read on, but it does get a bit annoying if you binge read like I do. I found a lot of fun series I couldn't find elsewhere, so that's a plus!

This app really took a turn for the worst. I have been a premium member for quite a while, I loved it! It honestly helped me through depression at times , the premium was such a wonderful price for what you got but now, it's honestly terrible and useless. I swear almost every book requires diamonds, or '5 free unlocks by watching ads' which is honestly just pointless when you pay for premium. I understand artists need to be supported but that's what ads and memberships were for.

First off, this app started out fine. The point system they implemented was light hearted and the point you gained could go for legitimate rewards like headphones, or a small plush, stuff like that. The comics arent bad, but that doesnt mean they're good either. The story line in every story I read was almost the same. the story lines are predictable. Yet, fun to read. But now, despite the point system and offers, paying to read is hardly worth it for chapters that are only a few panels long.

The overall app is great, but unfortunately the new update added a coin system limiting the amount of chapters we can read. While I can understand it takes funding to run an app, you can apply ads, which Webcomics does not have a lot of. This new coin system will become a problem in the future, but it was generous to give readers 6000 coins to reimburse them.

Very interesting comics! However, after the update, the app became very frustrating. Whenever there is a new comic, it will ALWAYS be locked with gems. The novels are always locked with gems too. I know that the app includes a feature to earn gems by playing games, but that just didn't work for me. In addition, I have a tiny problem. Can you add a feature where we can log in with an account, so we don't lose our progress when reading on a different device?🙏

This app was working quite well, but then the points that I had saved up for a very long time suddenly disappeared. When I messaged the app assistance line I was told the amount I had was the only amount there was and I must be mistaken. I even brought up that all the point transactions were recorded in my history, the app just said I had no points. I am unsure of the exact amount I had, but I know it was over 5,000 because I had been saving them up to get a panda plushie. I am very pleased with app reading and notification, but I do not like being offered a point system then being told that I must be mistaken after my points disappear.

This app is actually fantastic. Yes, it requires coins at times, but all those coins are obtainable. You aren't just given the choice to buy them, but you get free coins after certain time periods and through watching ads. The selection of comics is fantastic too. Edit: all the comics are slowly charging gems instead of coins, which are expensive to obtain. Not enjoying the app anymore :/

I've never taken the time to write a review of an app before, but I feel like this one deserved it. The majority of stories circulating on this app are absolute mindless trash. A large amount of the romance genre glorifies a mentaly and even sometimes physically abusive partner. You get multiple updates a week, but the plot and dialog are severely sacrificed because of it. You spend more time trying to piece together of what's going in than actually enjoying the story. It's a mess. Don't waste your time.

They've been pushing the premium model hard, which makes it difficult for casual users. Just my two cents, but the webcomic/webtoon app that has the best casual experience will be the one thats grows the biggest userbase. I think it's still acceptable right now, and I'll still use the app daily. But it would be a shame for them to head too far down the premium path.

Alot if great, cute and quirky stories to read, it is a pain to have to wait sometimes but still love the stories!! It's getting very upsetting that alot of creators of the comics keep changing it all of the sudden and asking for the crystals instead of staying with the coins. If that continues than it should be crystals to be in the spinning wheel instead of just coins.

Despite having a perfectly functional website already developed, later chapters in each comic are locked behind this poorly optimized app, which randomly zooms in or locks up while reading. Forcing us to a worse platform is already troubling, but to then slap us in our face when we do it, by not putting proper effort into their development.. Really, it's a good thing they aren't charging for the experience, or it'd be all too easy to label the setup as a scam. Hopefully the developers will put in the effort to improve the experience soon. As is, I just can't fathom what exactly the business strategy being used here is.

This isn't the worst comic reading app on the play store, but I certainly wouldn't rank it among the best either. I have spent a few $ on it already, so can speak as a paying user. The comic selection is very good with lots of titles and genres. The main problem is the currency (there's 2 different kinds as well as reading tickets) which gets confusing. On top of that there's a subscription service. The translations aren't always the best either, with lots of grammatical errors.

Okay so im going to start with that this app is indeed filled with incredible artist and story line, but someho is lazy. Each "chapter" is really half ( some times full) of a page that gets updated once or maybe twice a week. The pages are basically a runoff ( not cliff hanger). For an example 3-4 "chapers" would be a fight scean that is still not finished becauce there was so little given in each one with 3-9 panels. Sometimes, if not all, you have to re read all the "chapters" just so you can remember what happened or why it happened. Especially if an old character pops up again or you forget the main characters and plot twist. I would rather wait for a fully developed chapter than a rushed page by page "chapter". By the way this is every single one not just a few comics.

I would love it more if they made it easier to click the premium free access comics. You have to go to the premium spot anywhere else it acts like they don't exist. (I tried looking at this one premium one on the genre area to find it would not do anything till I found it on the premium one. That has no filter). Also most ones you find are ongoing IDK. I wished you change that some are from a year ago or more. Or some claimed to be completed and end up not being so.

This app is hardly worth the time, with no dislike option and no means to separate the chapters it's just annoying. Though I guess I'm just too used to the better format of webtoon. So far I'm blowing through one story and it's got shoddy scene transitions and flimsy translation grammar, but maybe once I'm done with it I'll check out others and see if the same issues repeat.

I like how there's a good variety of choices of mangas, overall it runs smoothly and has some good mechanics that a good portion of other reading apps. One thing I don't like is how there's so few free chapters in some mangas with a lot of chapters, I personally think it'll do better for the apps revenue n popularity for there to be several more free chapters added on. Other than that it's a pretty good app to find new reads if possible.
