2★The manga on the app are good. Searching for new manga to read sucks. The sorting by genre or by views or popularity doesn't function properly. it also caps various menus to 100 results. You can use the website to get around some of these issues, but the creator tab in particular is a nightmare to find things that are the most popular if you want to list them by genre. Also, if you click on something for more information, it just opens the first page of the manga directly, which is annoying.

3★I'm giving it a three because it is definitely in need of some improvements. For example, when I zoom in to read smaller text and start sliding the page around, it'll just go to the next page. Also, there is no account system, I would like to log in to my account on other devices without having to sign up for another subscription, but as of now, that is not possible. I think the price is good, cheap, and affordable. You'll save money using the app and then buy all the actual Mangas.

1★I like the "first read is free" system, but it is WAY too zealous with enforcing it. It's really easy to accidentally swipe wrong, and have your phone register is as a "back" rather than a "next page" - closing the chapter and locking you out of it until you pay for premium. Or maybe you want to close it really quick to favorite the series before you forget, or got confused and want to roll back. Or maybe the back button looked too much like a menu button, or you dared to change the language.

3★Image quality is not as high as I'd like, can't zoom in too far, and two-page spreads can't be viewed together. Sometimes it doesn't load a page, and I have to force close and re-start the app which starts the chapter over from the beginning (and counts as re-reading, so it locks you out of the chapter unless you're paying.) $2/month is a fair price to backread any currently running series, at least.

5★EDIT: 10/24 still 5 stars, just wanted to add that the new app design looks and works much better ^^ Original: It's nice being able to read from a fairly large library of titles, and I've found myself trying out series that normally wouldn't be my cup of tea. The subscription pricing feels fair, and the back catalog of completed works gives me a lot to read. The ongoing series are also very engaging and fresh, so there's always something I can enjoy every day.
