1. 4/5What’s up with the notifications?

   Okay, I don’t mind the large, no, MASSIVE chapter gaps. We can just read them elsewhere. For the titles that I do read here, I’ve noticed that I haven’t been getting the notifications. I also can’t say I’m a fan of the “First Time Read” concept, it’s kind of dumb that we don’t have the option to go back and reread. You could have something similar to Webtoon’s DailyPass. Instead of the 14-day availability, we could watch an ad at the start to “unlock” the chapter as well as the ad that you already have at the end of each chapter. Then we could watch an ad for each time we reread that chapter or just permanently “unlock” the chapter after watching x number of ads. An additional way of doing this would be similar to the point system on Zedge: watch ads -> claim points -> stockpile however many points the chapter you want to read costs -> permanently(?) unlock the chapter. This would also be appreciated for the titles that have a relatively large gap between chapters.

2. 5/5Editing my review: No issues in a while

   I gave this app a mid rating because they choose to drop almost all of their new chapters on 2 days, Sundays & Wednesdays, but couldn’t handle the traffic. It was frustrating for a month or two, but it’s been a significant amount of time since I’ve had to wait until Monday to read the Sunday drops, due to the apps inability to work. They also added a new interface a couple months ago that makes it way easier to find new releases. If I could change two things, which are minor, it would be to have the app take you to the series page when you click on it, instead of opening the most recent chapter. It can cause some confusion when you’re diving into a currently running series, in terms of keeping up with which chapters you actually read and did not read. And lastly, instead of keeping a small, minuscule amount of exclusives on SJ, just add One Punch Man & Dark Gathering. And the bangers y’all are hiding behind the Viz app paywall. Snowball Earth, Cosmos, Magical Girl, Dandelion, Mao, Tokyo Fears Rapsody, all of em; just put them on Manga Plus, already. Other than those tiny critiques, this is the best manga app on the market, I recommend it to everyone.

3. 4/5The app possibilities

   This app has great potential to being one of the best manga reading app but the problem with the app is that the only available manga is that of the ones you mainly find in Shonen Jump. Also there are a few manga with a huge gap of chapters missing making hard to truly get into the manga. So a way for this app to reach its full potential would to start adding a lot more manga from different publishers/ distributors so there could be a larger variety of manga which would draw more people into using the app. Also for the mangas that are missing a large chunk of their chapters should have them slowly become available so people could really get invested in the manga. Until then I will only recommend this app to people who are reading pacific manga and if all the chapters are available for the manga as well.

4. 2/5Slow loading

   I really want to love the Manga Plus app. It boasts an impressive library of manga that I'm eager to dive into, and I've even committed to a paid subscription to support the creators and access all the content. However, my experience on my iPad Pro has been consistently frustrating, to the point where I'm seriously considering canceling my subscription. The biggest issue by far is the excruciatingly slow loading times. Whether it's the very first page or a subsequent one, I'm frequently met with a black screen and forced to wait long periods before the manga page finally loads. This breaks the immersion and makes reading a chore rather than a pleasure. For a premium service on a powerful device like the iPad Pro, this performance is simply unacceptable. It's a shame, as the content itself is fantastic. But if I can't reliably and smoothly read the manga I'm paying for, the value proposition quickly diminishes. I sincerely hope the developers address these performance issues soon, as it's currently holding back what could otherwise be a truly excellent manga reading experience.

5. 2/5re: recent update

   like many others, I think the most recent update was a poor decision or at least rolled out at a poor time. most people are struggling right now financially, and paying for subscriptions isn’t really feasible (I know that’s how it is for me). I thought manga plus had a decent set up previously, and I had no issues with the app, but lost some time to be able to read. so I re-downloaded it, unsure of where I was last left on some series I was reading but now I honestly can’t tell. with the subscription lock icons, I can’t tell which chapter i’m on to even see if it’s worth paying for the subscription or not.. which honestly I probably can’t do right now. it’s hard because I want the mangaka and the people that make these translations possible to be paid for their work obviously, I just think it should have been implemented from the start and that’s where people are upset. something that was once accessible now isn’t, and I do think that unfortunately many will turn to scanlations once again. I wish I had a solution here, but I don’t.
