★★★★★ But my biggest complaint is that I cannot easily access Japanese content. Judging from the other reviews, this used to be a feature that was removed.
★★★★★ The app doesn't open on my iPad mini 4, which is allowed to update OS to 15.8.

★★★★★ I'm trying to read volumes six of chainsaw man so when I press on it, it just keeps on skipping over to the end when I'm trying to read it I deleted a completely good app just for this app because I wanted to read it…

★★★★★ When I'm trying to read a manga, it doesn't work it only lets you look at five pages and then it just doesn't let you read the rest of it and mind you. It just skipped straight into one chapter all the way at the end…
★★★★★ Bookwalker has separated out the Japanese and English versions of the store in what seems to be a money grab.
★★★★★ Wish I'd read the reviews on the app before wasting my money on their books.

★★★★★ What's the point of downloading manga onto my device if only half of it loads and you constantly get hit with random loading screens?
★★★★★ But my biggest complaint is that I cannot easily access Japanese content. Judging from the other reviews, this used to be a feature that was removed.
★★★★★ If I haven't downloaded a chapter or volume, then I have to wait for an unending loading bar that takes forever regardless of wifi or hotspot connection to read.
4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Can't buy and read Japanese light novels or manga (in Japanese), despite typing and searching in Japanese. You can do it on the website though… Why?? 意味あるこれ?買えさせてくれよ。 Also you don't own anything you buy digitally…
★★★★★ I don't know why I keep having problems with this app on my IPad, every time I download it there is always something wrong, either it closes whenever I try to read something on it or what's happening to me right now.
★★★★★ This app is now useless to me
6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ It's a bit annoying with the constant crashes that occur when reading, I really hope it can be fixed soon, but otherwise a great app! I also think making the page stay on the present slide and making the swipe more…
★★★★★ It used to be possible to select the Japanese language store even with the UI set to US English.
★★★★★ I wish it had a better user interface for putting books on you selves.
5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ So rest assured this is one of the best ways to support Japanese manga directly.
★★★★★ I like this app since its a good way to support the authors too I think.
★★★★★ Great way to support your favorite mangaka.

★★★★★ Getting bookshelf skins for your franchise is great fun tho.

★★★★★ -They send you free coins occasionally to redeem stuff, usually its around 300 coins and can get 2-3 chapters of a manga with that!
★★★★★ You can even download some free volumes!

I don’t know what you guys changed in the latest update, but after the forced update, THE_UI_BECOME_LIKE_THIS. Thewhole UI is now extremely cluttered and hard to read. Please roll it back.
Sucks that we had to switch to the newer one cuz I absolutely loved the organization and bookshelves in this app. Lowky makes it harder at times to just buy or have the auto-buy feature if you don’t have coins like bro- just auto buy the volumes I want to automatically get on release day. Glad to see that Japanese volumes are still here and that I can still auto-purchase the newest volumes, thank goodness. Hopefully the other ones gets to be as good as the original. Will miss seeing both my English and Japanese volumes in one app.
The inconvenience I have with migrating to the new version is that the new version is not this one. I like being able to download my books. I like being able to organize books to my liking in bookshelves. I like the app being more E-Reader and less storefront. Give the users what we want. More of this version, less of the abomination that the new one has become. I would have been fine if we could just keep our current libraries in this version of the app. The devs just want to force us on the new version that of lesser quality, so they just delete our English library here. The devs are missing the point, we know you have a new version, but we do not like the new version and prefer this one.
I love this app but the new version it’s just the worst I don’t see the ideas of changing something that it’s working for trying new ideas that clearly nobody liked. Buying points and no having my manga organized it’s just the worst. Please give us back what we had.
I used to buy art books and other items from the Japanese store that were not available in the global store, and they transferred to this app without any problem. I was also able to buy from the global store, so all of that was amazing to me, and it became the best platform to read manga, novels, and art books from both the Japanese and global stores. But this unique feature is missing in the new app. All of my Japanese purchases are gone 🙁 and I there’s still no clear way to buy from Japanese store like before. PLEASE BRING BAK THIS APP !!!! I really miss it so much 😓
As everyone has said… this is def the superior option… I genuinely thought we could still log in and use the app just not use the store :(
