Ignore the spoiled brats leaving 1-star reviews because they think they are entitled to free manga, this app is excellent. For only $4.99 a month, you get unlimited manga reading and hundreds of series with more coming every month. App is easy to use and loads fast too. Sure, about 1/3 of the manga are not completed series yet, but they add new chapters every day. And there are so many completed series it doesn't matter that much. Love this app! And for $4.99 for legal manga, it's awesome!
Reviews for Mangamo Manga & Comics
← Back to Mangamo Manga & ComicsI would have expected to have more mangas since it is not entierly free. Also it could use some more features such as manga recommendations based on what you have previously read, etc. Overall the biggest disappointment is that you cannot find all the mangas you would want to read.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX THIS I WANT MY MONEY BACK! I tried to uninstall the app if I can be able to fix the issue, guess what, have it re-installed and asking me to subscribe again! Now I can't read the early chapters that I was able to access a while ago. Oh my god! This is unbelievable! I already subscribed and I loved it! But I hope I can be able to read early chapters in my tablet if my phone is drained on battery, it's asking me to subscribe even if I already subscribed.
I love how everything needs to be free for people to give an app a fair rating. Mangamo is a very ambitious service whose goal is to provide manga worldwide for a cheap. Sure, majority of the titles, especially the Kodansha properties aren't in it's entirety but a lot of good series are getting regularly updated with accurate localization. UI needs improvement, the double pages needs to be stiched together, there should be an option to tap to change the pages. This project has lots of potential!
Good collection but you can't read it. Chapters would randomly fail to load. Restarting the app is hit or miss if it fixes it. The sub is reasonable but only if you can get the app to work. Why oh why can't you read offline or, at the very least, preload whole chapters?
Web portal and/or $3.99 sub~ BL and Yaoi are the same thing Wikipedia says, but I'm not the expert for I looked up what the words represent. Anyway, I love the app and the look with big panels in Explore and Exclusives standing out on searching. The settings menu is easy and it is all contemporary. Some loading screens, a big manga slows cheap phones, and there is not an indication in My Manga for finished works. Call it all savvy over Viz's Shonen Jump or Comixology's Unlimited.
This app feels like an add. You only get 3 free chapters everyday and if you want to read more chapters or previous chapters you need to get a subscription. The subscription is advertised SO much. The design is really bad too. You can't exclude tags and there is no rating on the mangas so you might uselessly spend your 3 free chapters and be forced to buy the subscription. Manga websites are much better because you can get ratings and read for free.
Every now and then parts of a chapter will fail to load. This becomes infuriating as it will somethimes be the last page of a chapter or in some cases every other page refuses to load. Unfortunately, their customer support is non-existent. I have sent messages to then via the contact form on their site but have received no answer and trying to reach out via social media also results in being ignored. This and other problems are extremely off putting and I will be canceling my subscription.
The interface is ugly and not very intuitive. It lacks a duel page spread similar to other reading apps that is especially important for some series that do a lot of two page panels. Even though on of the major publishers in Japan is supporting it to a degree, I would personally like it if they did a bit more. It's not bad but does need an overhaul to compete with its rivals.
You need to release a stable app before I'll consider paying anything. Your search algorithm inexplicably doesn't have an AND operator for your tags (selecting the action and comedy tags will bring up everything that is tagged with action OR comedy, and it's up to chance that you get both.) Infinite scroll on the homepage crashes the app, clearing the search field by tapping the x will crash the app, looking at titles too fast will crash the app, the list goes on. It's not ready to be released.
The app is great and I'm a plus member but over a fast and stable wifi connection with my device the only one active loading works the parts of the manga I'm reading instantly but will not load the rest for an upwards of 15 minutes or sometimes even 30 minutes I like the app I just wish the loading would be better and I hope it's just some bugs that can be fixed
Seems like an app with a good start, but it needs more titles and filters. In particular it needs a way to exclude certain genres from a search and the ability to filter by completed manga only. I'm planning to keep checking back to see if they add these features and more manga before buying a subscription. I think the price is fair and I'm desperate for a legal option with a good ui, but I've been disappointed too many times.
Do you like reading manga without the guilt of pirating? Well this is the app for you! The selection is somewhat small but has the best non-Kodanshia titles, as well as some exclusives. The UI is kinda wierd but for only $5 a month I can bare it (though I wish they would fix it!). Ignore the weebs dishing out the one-star reviews, they just want handouts. Besides, we all know why we are here... and yess, it has the great echii titles like Negima and some good yuris! Hahaha! Enjoy!
I'm a subscriber and I think the app is ok. It's just that there are so many available titles but almost all that are not exclusive to Mangamo are only released as partial series. I hope before adding more titles, please try to complete what's available. The app can become useless and money becomes wasted if chapters are not updated.
It is a good app but... I hate that the most interesting/hyped titles are incomplete and with no updates. Fire Force, Attack on Titan, many others are with very few chapters comparing to the others and with no updates and no predictions, schedule, or anything whatsoever. This is disappointing. Buut there's a huge catalogue. I hope that they'll fix this and keep the customers more updated. Honestly, I'm still thinking if I'll renew my subscription... (update: yeah, I won't. One day I get back)
It's cool that it's available globally. However, there are lots to improve. Pages take long to load (I also use Manga Plus, and its loading time is speedy), the front page displaying big banners of titles is a pain as means to discover what to read (a small thumbnail of cover would be enough), and most crucially, no download/offline reading option which is quite a deal breaker, honestly, considering the generally slow loading time.
I'm baffled at the very low rating. It is not even that bad. It is great even. The library is superb and as expected since this app is for a different publisher. It is easy to use. The daily read is a nice feature. The price is so affordable. I read just fine. Dunno what other have seen. My only complaint is please have an option to choose how you want to zoom your manga, because it is a little bit annoying to accidentally press for too long and getting it zoomed it when I don't want it to.
you get what you pay, for 4.99 a month usd its not bad. but apps like shonen jump and Viz are a bit better and cheaper. I got this to read my love story with Yamada-kun but it literally will not load chapter 7 to read. I get 3 or 4 pages and then nothing. Not loading is pretty bad since its the essential task of the app to load the page to read... I will be unsubing until the loading issues are fixed. I could put that money towards the physical copy and be able to read it 🤷♀️
I paid for plus right away and I really regret it. Reading anything on the app is a nightmare. Pages just refuse to load, even when they finally load in you can read a page or two before it stops loading again. There isn't a good way to browse for a new series either. I'm going back to sketchy scans sites once this month is up, at least those load the whole chapter. Why pay money for an inferior product?
Very good spread of manga to choose from, and I appreciate the zeal with which new series are added. Cross-device sync is neat. Not a bad price either. The app is super inefficient though. I can reliably crash it every 10 minutes, and it makes my phone overheat and chug battery. I can't use it unless I'm near a charger. That needs to be fixed, soon.
