I enjoy using bookwalker because I can buy books in English and in Japanese. These five stars are for an excellent app, not related to the content. I have zero issues with the app. as for the content, please be careful what you decide to pay for because a lot of the release chapters end up on other services that have all you can read systems. mostly the BL and TL are passed off to other apps after a few months.

I use the app for reading, but I only use the app for books in Japanese. It's irritating not being able to look at the store when I don't have access to a computer (And yes, I read the replies to other reviews complaining about the same). It works fine as a reader, but I wish the sticky note limit was bigger.

Hello, Sorry for the inconvenience.Since November 9th, 2022, you are no longer able to access the Japan Store from overseas via the app. Please access the Japan Store via internet browsers. We take your comment seriously and will share it internally so that we will be able to improve our service in the future.Thank you.

This app isn't without its problems. Unlike with your bookshelf, you can't really organize your Audiobooks how you want. When listening to an Audiobook while on another App, the app has a tendency to crash/stop playing after a while. I'm now also experiencing how the App stops in between audiobook tracks. It plays intro, then I have to manually play the prologue/1st chapter that follows instead of it autoplaying. This happens both while on different apps, but also while my phone is locked.
