The primary issue is the monetization system, it's far too expensive for digital media. With the Viz model it's much more palatable, I would be more inclined to pay for a subscription then this pay as you go coin system, it's like webtoons which is why I stopped reading. The UI and search also needs improvement. You have the key elements there, it wouldn't take much to be able to search by say completed series, frequency of updates, and more. Pinch to zoom also does not function on the pixel6

Exploitative monetization model, splitting up chapters into multiple parts so you have to pay MORE, and a confusing ticket system all paired with a bad app design (search doesn't seem to work half the time, no dark mode, among other weird choices) makes me not recommend this at all. I could overlook most of it if they got rid of the bad monetization choices and bring in a subscription model, but as it is right now, don't waste your money, and buy the actual physical or digital volumes.

Horrible UI, and the entire app is designed about being as frustrating as possible to make you buy manga. Earning points is slow, and tickets expire after a day or two. Also had a consistent issue where manga would need to buffer every few pages which I've never had with competing apps. Unless you intend to buy into this micro transaction hell, don't bother.

Not a good experience. Full of microtransactions. Very uncomfortable, and busy interface. I'll be honest , if you want to compete with the Shonen jump app. The smartest thing to do is have a simple subscription at a good price and that's it. People are willing to pay a subscription as long as the price is fair and access to manga is fair. All these "tickets" and "points" to make it feel "free" just makes experiencing the app tedious. Please reconsider the system.

this app is really awful its very confusing, has only a very small collection of manga(even if they are some popular ones) and it's impossible to read because it only gives you one free chapter a day. A chapter takes barely 5 minutes to read, and it only stays free for 48 hours. it's also just not user friendly at all. it's so clunky and annoying to navigate

Yea this is one of the most disappointing releases in quite some time. Let me start out with what might be the only positive: a good UI and competent scrolling/search. Now for the bad... In all the market research that was done, who thought it was a good idea to copy the flop that is MangaUp? Instead of a subscription based service, we have to pay double sometimes triple for full releases. In an industry where your main competitors (SJ/Viz) are killing it with the subscription model.
