Too expensive for how little you get.
it is abiding app
u cannot use a laptop on this app
Please change the WUF timer to 23 hours instead of 24. Right now, the unlock time gets a little later every day unless you click it at the exact same second. Making it 23 hours gives us enough time to actually read at the same time every day without having to skip a day to reset the clock.
Ink rewards earned in events should not have a 1 day expiration date.
I have had an issue with missing panels or them uploading the wrong chapter several times. I also hate how I have to wait five seconds before I tap anything every time I open the app. Otherwise I get teleported to their "do these things for free ink" portal because the ad takes up the entire screen and it always takes a few seconds before the x to close it appears. The best solution I've found is uninstalling the app every time it starts showing the ad. Support replied they dont intend to fix it
not bad, but why you dont have an ad option to earn ink doesn't make sense. you have to buy it or play games for hours.
in terms of user experience, this is basically a worse version of Webtoon. it's stuttery, the audio constantly bugs out and plays after you close it or doesn't play at all, and it's weird to navigate. the gifted ink expires quickly but doesn't tell you it's going to expire at all, and the Wait Until Free system is poorly explained and poorly implemented. on top of that, with zero indication to the audience, some stories just lock at a random point without using ink. wouldn't recommend it.
Another YouTube suggestion that is not similar to my interests....
the ink system is terrible and just looks really sketchy when you have to download apps or go into another website and it kept not working,I'm just going to stick to webtoon
dont really like it tbh
to $$$
stupid
i really enjoy the games, unfortunately I'm giving a 1 star because a game "rewarded" me but i never received the ink and i sent a message for help and it's been almost a week with no response at all. it will stay 1 star until i am contacted and sent the missing ink.
I dont appteciate your pop up that took over my entire screen and had no exit button. I coulsnt even access my home button or back button to get away from it without accidentally clicking on the ad which took me to another extremely intrusive advertisement that I struggled to get away from
well I downloaded it but it keeps stopping and it was worse when I open the comics...
I was not able to sign up on tapas
99.9% of the time the app and website doesn't even want to load it says the servers are shut down or crashed. so you can't even use the app or anything. and this is every time I go to open the app
Does not have any Manga that I'm searching app or the right Manga, that I'm looking for so this platform kind of disappointment,
costly to unlock takes forever to earn the inapp curency to unlock thurther episodes, the wait for free has gone up feom one every 3 hours to one every 3 days and you can watch 3adds to unlock an episode 3times a day. some of the english translations are bloody awful and dont make sense.
ADD MORE YURI 🙂🥱
Ink this ink that! can't even read with peace
It kept saying server down and stuff like that. I even uninstalled it and installed it twice yet it kept giving the same results. So, I decided to use the website instead but that wasn't fair too. I won't deny that they have a lot of good comics and novels but most of them can't be read for free. Honestly speaking, it limits me a lot especially cause I love to binge series. So, when I can't read much when most of them are locked.
While it has good stories. Its too pay to read. I prefer webtoon's style of some free then waiting/ads
There are titles that I cannot find through the search bar inside the app but switching to the site version I can? I wish I could just find whatever there is in the app and didn't have to switch every time I want to find a specific title. it's also so random some titles are there and some it aren't.
it really is a great app but I'm stuck on 3 ads daily 😔🥀 and also the recommendation isn't that good maybe because it lack some of the story still it a recommended for People who want to spend and can support author well it would be a good if I can read pass 3 ads daily like 3 ads per 3 chapter and then after it it was 2-3 ads per 1 chapter limit to 10-15 I would have come back lol
Why is there so much lag when scrolling anything? Why does pressing "back" reset scrolling progress on the previous screen? Why does the app fill my storage with gigabytes of cache yet still shows so many "Loading" screens that last a long time each? Why?
Meh, not as good as Webtoons and I didn't like the Tapas only comics.
Why does Tapas make my phone hot and glitch after using it for a while? The first sign is that it'll slow down, and scrolling won't be as fast. Then I'll feel my phone overheating, and it'll glitch, making it hard to close the app without having to close all my apps.
its good that these awesome creators have a platform but there are some ways this particular one is lacking. They took away the commercial to earn feature so that has decreased my liking of this app. I liked the ability to pay when I have funds and look at ads when I dont but now one way is gone. Just annoyed so I'll just take a break from it and see if it's any better in a couple of years. back and its still bad. worse as it has pop-ups you cant x out that take you wherever.
No way to filter by genre. How could you leave out such a basic & obvious feature?
