"body": "It’s nice to see new features but addition of the new features seems to degrade app’s functionality. Some of the source are gone. If you have downloaded the manga from the source that are gone, they are listed in uninstalled extensions. You can add new source and download however you simply cannot remove/delete the downloaded manga from device from those uninstalled extensions. I tried to install the extensions but since it was 3rd party extension the website was scraped and now there is no extensions for those sites.",

"title": "TLDR; Perfect App for Manga/Manhwa Readers",
"body": "First off, don’t listen to the 1-star reviews. The app starts off empty, but that’s because YOU as the USER can setup and choose what repos or extensions you’d prefer to get your manga/manwha from. To top it off, you can download everything and use the app with no adds for free. Time used many different adds and sites to digest manga, but nothing tops Paperback. I’ve recommended this app to many of my friends, and they love it. Adding the repos or extensions seemed off putting for me at first, but after LITERALLY five minutes of using my brain and a google search later, I saw how amazing the Paperback truly is. Thank you to the creators and everyone that took the time to make the extensions and whatnot. You all deserve a hug. I recommend joining the discord, just in case some important info comes out in regard to app changes or whatever.",

"title": "Best manga app",
"body": "This is one of the best reading apps. No ads, custom themes, and all manga?! For free!!! While it may be hard to find novels or chapter books, it is an amazing app for comic, manga, manwha, etc. The optimal device for manga and comic books are the ipad because of the text to image size. But for manwha and related texts phones are great for use. Two amazing features are downsampling for potato phones or if you have bad service/ Wi-Fi. The other feature is downloading books for the go. It is also one of the few apps In general that allow you to customize its interface. I have been using this app since the beta. Or for roughly 2 years. I would recommend this to anyone who likes comics manga etc. It may be a little hard to start using the app and getting sources. But once you find some and get used to sources and trackers. (Not bad trackers ones that you install yourself if you want). It is really useful. You don’t have to but I would recommend supporting the dev. It’s your choice though.",

"title": "Great app for reading manga/verticalstrips/comics",
"body": "No Ads or IAP! It's fully featured and seems done with development. Works well with komga if you selfhost. Used it throughout its time on testflight before hitting the appstore, still works well, google where to find extensions/repos before leaving a bad review, my main issue is migrating post update would sometimes break things, cause me to lose my place, honestly fine for what this is used for, not a big deal. It's actually free and works well unlike the alternatives that want you to pay money for extra features or ad removal.",

"title": "Don’t waste your time, nothing works",
"body": "Even after I managed to get my server added (the instructions that the app shows in its “guide” were completely wrong), the errors are endless. “Syncing 0 of 0”, because there’s no library setup, search is completely useless (doesn’t actually search/filter, just shows all results). The only way to actually open a book is from the Continue Reading menu, but no matter which book you select, the chapter list spans ALL BOOKS (chapter 1, chapter 1, chapter 1). Fine, pick a chapter just to get something, but then the app crashes. Can’t believe I wasted so much time on setup only for something that crashes on its most basic function.",
