Ratings and reviews

My experience is mostly positive. I would very much appreciate it if you guys made it to where you can choose your font instead of zooming in on your screen. That can be very hard to control and the settings do change as you turn the page. As it is, I guess I'll logging in on my computer tomorrow and reading what I need to read.

This app is designed as the anti-user experience. The only reason I'm able to give it two stars is there's a nice selection of Manga and light novels. So if you want to officially support them this isn't a bad way to do it in theory. The problem comes in with the entire user experience. It's awful. There's no way to discover content. You either luckily see something you like in recent or know it's exact name. Basic features like "more like this" or "other volumes in this series" are nonexistent.

I love the concept and the content. I think the app could be improved to provide a better reading experience. It works as it is but doesn't make it easy to discover new content or keep up with a series that you haven't bought or followed. Going through the whole catalog on the app is an annoying process. You can't sort by tags, and you have to go into the volume page to find a synopsis. There's more small things, but because of those small things, I don't want to use the app very much.
