Rubra

This app is nice to get access to several manga like full metal alchemist, however it has many bugs and the support is really not up to standards. I bought some coins to unlock chapters but due to a recurrent bug where the app crashed the coins were used but the chapter was not unlocked. I took screenshots and reached out to support to ask for the coins back and that’s when things started to get messy. The support asked me all kinds of information including many screenshots and step by step description of how to get to my issue, uploading files on a separate website. I even ended up recommending them some solution myself since they could figure it out (eg compare the number of coins I bought with the ones used to identify how many where missing and compensate me back). After over 2 weeks of 10+ exchanges where the team told me mixed messages that the dev would fix it but denying my issue when I ask for compensation, I ended up giving up to get my money compensation after these pointless long conversation. Very disappointed with this customer experience!

Every single series has the last handful of chapters blocked behind paywalls. Why do you think anyone would pay a subscription if youre going to make them buy the content, anyways. Oh, im sorry, rent the content, because you dont even own it. If you find that one panel you want to set as your background, they also threaten to ban you for screenshots, which shonen, viz & manga plus have never done. Until these jokers & kodansha stop trying to nickel & dime us, just stick with the viz apps. You dont have to worry about slamming into a paywall when youre barreling full speed through a title. Now i have to google scans to finish my series, because i am not buying something that im already paying to have access to.

Read apothecary diaries. They split the unreleased print chapters into 3-4 different parts and then charge you around 50 cents to read 1/4 of a chapter. I’m all good with supporting manga artists etc, but it doesn’t even cost this much to buy a print volume it’s ridiculous. I just spent like 13$ to read 12 chapters, and the reader is seriously janky.

It seems like Square Enix must have the rights to a lot of new titles in fantasy worlds. So far, the subscription has given access to almost every chapter except the 3 most recent in the series. Even the 3 most recent, I think you can read a limited number of the most recent per month. To me, it seems like other apps don’t have as many new titles in new worlds as Square Enix. I think the subscription is $5 a month. Not sure what previews they may or may not offer for free

I am loving the new subscription service. For the price of 2 sodas I can read so much manga and help the authors. I wish more apps would go this route so it could be easier to read manga without scan apps. Or paying 300 dollars to buy the whole series. I didn’t particularly like it at first when it first came out but I saw the updates the way made like implementing a sub service and it’s prob one of my top manga apps nowadays.

For $4.99 it’s a bit dumb and confusing to lock some chapters out of the vault pass. A subscription in my opinion should unlock everything that is on the platform.

why am i paying for a monthly subscription if i still have to buy coins to read chapters? fix this immediately

I initially enjoyed the experience and I would have bought some currency to keep reading the story but it will not let me create an account. There is always an error that tells me to try again later. Now it doesn’t even have my history and the chapters that I unlocked with my free log in rewards are gone. I will most likely not be back.

When the Manga up app came out , It initially had bismal ratings due to the fact that similar to its Japanese counter part , you had to purchase individual chapters with a bizarre experience points themed system. Since then they have added a subscription based tier similar to the various viz media apps and manga plus. There are still some series that require experience points for the most recent chapters but given that they give you a ton of points for using the app everyday , it’s really easy to get the chapters for free when it’s all said and done. There are some amazing series on here and an incredible variety that is not available on the other apps

I installed this app when I saw the ad of “Assassin x Cinderella” and I fell in love with these two couples so I started reading them and boy, I was obsessed. I kept reading and I thought it was free so I was like YAY! THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER! I read more and more, and then it came to the part where I had no coins and no nothing and I clicked “continue to read” and I had to BUY coins. I was like NOPE SORRY THIS IS THE BEST MANGA BUT IM NOT BUYING ANYTHING. I got upset, but I realized not everything is free, not even the best manga but I loved the manga it’s the best. RECOMMENDED IF YOU’RE INTO ROMANCE AND COMEDY!!
