Manga UP!

Title says it all. Also the payment system is awful. Try Shonen

This app is a free too use app with no adds! It’s the first one I found that has no interruptions and has so many manga tales .🙂😄😁😮

If you like manga definitely try this app because it’s got a lot of good manga

The app is fairly easy to use and has great manga on it that I really want to stay up to date with. I have no issues with the picture quality personally. My main issues however, are with the currency and payment systems. Manga UP! and Square Enix have a LONG way to go to make the system even comprehendible, let alone good! Could really do with taking a leaf about of the Shonen Jump apps system and starting a subscription instead (to unlock so many chapters a day) which I’m sure everyone would be more than willing to pay. It also annoys me how new chapters are spilt into two.. I guess thats just a plot to make more money from ‘unlocking’ them.

Twice now I’ve spent paid-for-with-real-money currency in the app and i got an error. It asked me to reopen the viewer after I’d swiped to pay for another chapter. I reopened the viewer and it just put me at the beginning of the previous chapter, did not load the next chapter and reduced my balance by a chapter’s-worth. Well, don’t bother spending real money in the app - you’re not guaranteed to actually get the content you pay for. Really bad service. Update. It’s just done it A THIRD TIME. This time taking 80 coins instead of the usual 40. Well Square Enix, I’m never spending money in this app again. I’ve run out of coins and will not be buying any more.

I cannot believe SQUENIX is behind this. The image quality is awful and you have to use points to unlock chapters. Just awful. Will not be using this app again.

The currency system is STUPID and there should be a way for me to read the advance manga

The app has a few positives over other manga apps. There are warnings detailing graphic content, you get a history page without having to sign in. It’s all pretty neatly laid out. Unfortunately it uses a system similar to Webtoon where you “spend” something to unlock chapters. UP, XP, and Coins. Why reading manga requires three currencies, I don’t know. You spend XP to read newer chapters. UP refreshes daily but can only be used to read “normal” chapters, sometimes these can be about 30 chapters, for Full Metal: Alchemist it’s chapter 13 onwards. You can have 120 UP, you spend 30 for a chapter. That’s four free ‘premium’ chapters a day. Coin is described as: “a purchase-only item. When buying “coin” you get “XP” as a bonus.” So as far as I can tell, it’s useless and only serves to give you XP to read non-free chapters. So the cheapest option is £0.89, which gives you 120 coins and 120 XP. A chapter is 60 XP. So the cheapest option gets you two chapters. The most expensive is £69.99 for 2000 XP. That’s about 33 chapters. Frankly I feel Shonen Jump has a better system where you pay £1.99 a month and have access to everything, but if you’re only looking to read FMA or something, you could probably get about 12 chapters for free on your first use. Then four a day unless you pay.

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!!
