Manga UP! for Android

JUMP and MANGA Plus are great services. Easy to access, fair practices for free users, and well-made reading for paying users. This app requires 5, sometimes 6 different purchases just to view a single chapter, and then REMOVES your purchase after a couple days? Square, as a long time fan I’m asking you: please do NOT be surprised at how many fans are going to pirate your content when you make your OFFICIAL ways for payment ethically worse than piracy. Just read JUMP or Manga Plus. Or do what Amazon does, which allows easy access to full volumes on release straight to my kindle every month, which I HAPPILY pay for.

I only have this because it’s the only way i can read Maydare, everything about this app is garbage, the fact that there’s a stamina system to reading chapters, the fact that they charge points for decimal point chapters, the fact that they threaten to ban you for taking screenshots, all of it is so aggressively, hilariously anti-consumer.

Title says it all. They aggressively censor everything, almost all of which is something that never needs censoring. The excuse for this being compliance to release products in certain regions, but it both affects people outside those regions and goes overly beyond what would be necessary. On the monetization side, they break chapters into pieces. That in itself is nothing new, plenty of sites do it and it helps the mangaka regularly release content without being pressured. The problem comes in with them monetizing everything at exorbitant prices, splitting their reading tickets/item for a chapter to only include one part, and having next to no free reads per day. To put it in perspective, you essentially pay a volume’s price for an individual chapter. It’s absurd. App needs to be changed entirely or taken down.

The worst manga app. Stuff like this is why people pirate manga, and will continue to. Just shameful honestly. Using 3 electronic currencies instead of a simply subscription system is just disgusting.

Login error loop issue fixed. With each update the app becomes more promising.
