Reviews for WEBTOON: Manga, Comics, Manhwa

Ordinarily, a decent app. Most of the UI changes didn't bother me. The decision to have ads pop up in the middle of something you're reading if you're away for two minutes. Not great. Those 3/4th of the page ads at load with the (x) button smaller then a keyboard letter? Terrible. You miss the target, get sent there, and you're auto subscribed to something you never wanted to read in the first place. Smaller ads, no auto subscription, and much bigger (x) button, please.

I've had this app for about a decade. I absolutely loved it. until: they raised the prices on episodes, then, ALL the ads. the tiny pop-ups that take you somewhere else, the removal of the heart icon that you can see, the intrusive ads that are loud and cover your page, the option to pay $20in coins to own a completed series if you only need one chapter, the daily passes, and the pay to read. I miss the way it was and hate the way it is now. It's too money hungry focused.

Check if your ad's even work! Tired of the same ad not loading. It eventually let's me exit it, then immediately makes your whole app freeze on a loading screen. Makes me restart the app and I have to wait for the next chance to watch another ad. Oh but then it gives me the same ad so I have to restart your app 20 times in a row(WISH I was exaggerating)!!!! About to just uninstall the app and go to an actual library for real books. Walking to a library would be better then this..

I'm so frustrated with this app. Been screwed over by treasure hunt, again! I did an offer and beat 1k levels of this game. I watched over 1k ads to do this. I had a video showing I beat it on time. They gave me the previous rewards, but not the last one for 504 coins. They gave a list of reasons why I might have been disqualified, but none applied to me. They closed my ticket, and then there was nothing i could do. Can't even try to talk to someone else to get help.

Started watching "Sweet Home" on Netflix but cancelled subscription before series ended. Learned it was based on a webtoon, so got this to try to finish the series. The first handful of chapters are free, but then you have to pay or watch an ad for every chapter. That means $30 or over 100 ads. Ridiculous. The app works well and seems to have good variety, which is why it's not 1-Star.

Huge disappointment to come back and see every last comic, including finished ones from years ago be locked behind a pay wall. For 40 episodes of just 1 comic, it's $10 to unlock. Definitely not worth it anymore if you're someone who likes to read multiple titles. Webtoon used to be a fantastic place to discover and read new stories with the option to unlock more episodes a week early(up to a point), but it's become yet another cash grab gimmick that forces you to spend heavy for little reward.

This app really used to be 5-stars. Then they added ads, which take time to pop up and you'll end up accidentally tapping the wrong chapter to read. One strike. Then, they updated to where you can't see if you left a like on an episode, which I used to use as a way to see if I finished reading an episode or not. Two strikes. Now, they stopped accurately showing if I have read recent episodes. I see several series have new updates but they don't show unread episodes. FIX IT OR I PIRATE.

I've been on Webtoon since about 2019, most of the stories are genuinely amazing. With that being said though, what Webtoon advertises the most has to be unlocked by ads or coins. Though there are ways to get free coins, they expire after about a week. You could work for a month trying to get free coins, then POOF! They're gone. This is really frustrating. Overall, the comics and authors are amazing, the app, not so much.

They took away daily pass and made those daily pass episodes/series cost coins. Some series are stuck completely behind a paywall; it used to be just the last 3-5 episodes. Now it's the whole series. Considering some series are hundreds of episodes, it can get expensive, especially if you're reading many stories that are only accessible with coins (not the case for every story though; some are still free or can be read with ads).

I'm giving a 1 star rating until this is addressed/fixed! I opened the app today and realized that Daily Pass on completed series is gone and now the only options are to watch an advert or spend coins. It's bad enough that series are being locked away under Daily Pass almost immediately when completed but to now require readers to pay to reread--that's disgusting. I'm not going to "buy" them in the app if at any point they can be taken away!
