The reader works perfectly and the menus looks great, but it randomly logs me out, will not accept my password when I try to log back in (just says "something went wrong") and won't send a reset email when I try to reset my password. Incredibly frustrating.
Reviews for Azuki – Manga Reader App
← Back to Azuki – Manga Reader AppFantastic manga selection with a reasonable $5 subscription. read Girls' Cocoon
I'm glad there is finally a legal way to read Kondansha comics without having to buy every volume. I can't wait to see which companies they work with next. My only complaint is that the viewing size is too small on all my devices and the zoom on pc isn't great.
Decent collection, but to read all the manga I want I'd be spending at least a hundred dollars more to buy the volumes as only the first part is available through the app. Pretty annoying honestly, I doubt I'll continue even though it is the best designed subscription manga app I've used.
Promising but ultimately a let down. The selection of manga is impressive but looking deeper disappointment is the only thing to be found. Finding some of my all-time favorite series such as Love Hina, Sweetness and Lightning, and A Silent Voice all on one app was incredible but clicking each only to find all of these Completed series incomplete on the app was heartbreaking. Doubly so to find that they haven't been updated in years. Promising but not worth subscribing to at this time.
Having a subscription service to read manga is great, but the app is lacking in many basic features. - Options to sort or search by categories - Reading/following list - Reader options are lacking. No way to change tap to flip zones, custom brightness/filters. - The top of the reader is permanently red. - Discoverablity and curation are lacking to very few basic lists - Loading in general is pretty slow. Etc. Etc. Devs should take example from the Tachiyomi reader to improve their app.
Does not feel worth the price of admission with the current feature. The UI is barebones, there is no option to download chapters for offline read, save specific favorites or view double-page spreads in one screen. The quantity of chapters is promising, if not still frustrating to have a seemingly arbitrary amount for different series.
+ Nice mangas not a lot but that's going to change - The reader is absolutely terrible, there is literally one setting(no scale option, no layout no background-color customization, no option to deactivate the dual-page splitting and a lot of other stuff) for it, upper and bottom status bar are showing (no full screen) while reading and there is no zoom. Extra features like border cropping are also not existing.
One of the few subscription based manga apps out there that is incredibly affordable at $5.00 monthly. This is a great way of supporting the industry in some way and the interface is intuitive. Switching pages are a breeze and the library is growing. The current lineup is pretty extensive with notable titles like Attack on Titan. This subscription model is a great opportunity for readers to read titles they weren't able to read due to set prices. This and Mangamo are trendsetters in the industry
I think this is a good app with an easy interface. I'm happy to see another subscription service that goes beyond shonen! Only bug bear is limited chapters. So far all the series I want to read stop halfway and haven't been updated for 1+ years (I'm guessing the publishers are holding back which is a lil frustrating for people who want to support the industry legally). It would be great if subscribers could get an update on when these are expected to be uploaded.
Azuki is an up and coming digital manga app that provides licensed manga from publishers like Kodansha, Tokyopop and ABLAZE among others. UI is uninteresting and not smooth and the reader needs some improvements such as switching from portrait to landscape mode smoothly. Completed titles are still not available on the app but hopefully the catalog will grow with time. Lastly there's the issue of ads. There was an inappropriate ad for a video downloader that I loathed. The 5$ is a steal though.
I've been mostly loving this app due to the varying titles that are available, but I am bummed about some series such as Land of the Lustrous and O Maidens in Your Savage Season not being complete. My main issue lately with the app is when I sometimes download chapters and then try to read them offline, they won't load. It kind of defeats the purpose of downloading chapters!
I've been using Azuki for awhile now. They've been slowly expanding the series that they carry, which is great. What I don't like is that I'm required to separately pay to unlock newer chapters of older series I've been reading. I don't agree with putting up a separate pay wall when I already pay a monthly fee to read their manga selection.
Absolutely inferior to other manga subscriptions, although it also has a few notable manga, but they're not complete. Subscription gives only first few volumes, the rest you need to buy for the full physical price. And even then, not all manga has all published volumes available... Also the gravest offence - they have animated page transitions in the reader with no way to disable it... You can't use the app on e-ink display! You need to offer better service than the alternative...
The app needs a lot of work, but I am glad to finally see a subscription based service for manga that I can actually use... I hope this catches on and grows big EDIT: Thanks for the reply, my biggest pet peeves are lack of notifications for series I have in library, along with general lack of options for the reader - like the option to change scrolling from right to left to left to right Other than that, a lot of what I meant was added in updates already, like library.
I began using this very recently and my experience has been largely great. I loved how many different kinds of series are here, the more unknown titles, and the actual user interface. My problem though is actually accessible chapters. For example, there's a gap between chapters 23 to 87 for Edens Zero. Series being incomplete like this really bugs me and it's very common for these titles to not have all the chapters on this app. It's still good for a $5 subscription, but it may be a dealbreaker.
This app did have 2 manga I really like and I prefer to read manga legally when possible to support the creators, that being said this apps reader could really use some improvements, double tapping to zoom in/out being the biggest to me especially since you need to zoom back out to go to the next page, also being able to sort chapters by newest instead of chapter 1 always being at the top forcing you to scroll down. overall it has a decent manga selection but the reader is not that good
Overall, it's a relatively good manga browsing app. It does what advertised and has a decently sized library of popular titles. It will let you read the first chapter of a series before advertising the subscription. The price of the subscription is slightly on the expensive side compared to other apps which is probably the main reason the review is rated three stars. Not a bad app and will continue using it!
downloading is very weird with this app. i have to have my phone on airplane mode for the chapters to load properly if i have a bad connection. its like its not using the version i downloaded but onstead loading it through the internet when i have it downloaded. an offline mode on the app would probably fix this issue, edit: this issue got so bad that i was forced to delete the app and give up. hopefully this issue is fixed in the future
I was very excited to find that a subscription based manga app. I vastly prefer subscriptions to per-chapter price models. However, the selection of this app is sparse at best and a number of their best series haven't been updated in half a year, one of them being "That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime." I will check back in later on to see if they updated anything I have an interest in reading, but for now I'll save my money.
