Great Content, Bad App

I have used Crunchyroll Manga for over three years at this point, and while I love the different series and enjoy reading within the app, the actual app itself has a ton of problems, and feels like it has not changed or improved in three years. The largest issue is the large number of times that bugs in the app have required me to delete and redownload the app to get it to function again. Other little things, such as updating to use the full screen on iPhone X and above, and having a notification or way to see from your list which series have updates without clicking on to each of them individually.Long story short, I use this app to be able to read the manga legitimately and make sure the creators are getting paid to make their content, but it often times feels like I am being punished for doing so, as pretty much every manga pirating app has a better overall experience. I hope Crunchyroll at some point decides to put more resources into this app so it can compete with the free options out there.

Great and amazing content but not the best app

What can I say about crunchy roll manga besides it has amazing content, while the library is not as huge as say Shonen jump the library of manga the app does have is fantastic from attack on titan to the very popular To your eternity the app has a lot of popular titles and fan favorites, but the app is honestly not the best, the layout is not very good and the app looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while and is in need of an update. If your on a more recent device the app doesn’t take up the whole screen and the app does crash a lot and I have experienced a problem where the app doesn’t connect to the internet. You can’t download manga so if your on a plane or anywhere with bad service your basically screwed if your on a very good part of your favorite manga. Overall, Crunchyroll is in need of a update, the app isn’t very good but if you have Crunchyroll premium service it’s worth a try, it has a great library of content to choose from my favorite is attack on titan which is for sure worth checking out.

Authentication

Can you fix this please? When I first got the app it's was awesome! I've never read a seen an app where it could read comics that by individual blocks. I loved that it makes you tunnel vision on the story. Make it more far more interesting, IMO. Don't remember when or what update caused this authentication problem, but it was a few years ago. I get the authentication screen and never goes to the home screen of the app. I have to delete the app, reinstall it, then it works for some time, but then it does it all over again. Really annoying!!! Please fix!!!The new problem this app is having, is not being able to turn the phone sideways (landscape) and having the screen follow it. It used to do I don't understand why mess with the app when it was awesome! Please fix this! Not being able to do that makes reading plain, boring and always having to zoom in and out! Please fix asap! 3 years and still no news about a fix! Stopped using it and went over to Tappytoon! Solo leveling is a great read FYI! The people giving this app a 5 star review must be joking, IMO!

The biggest pain in my neck

I have loved using the CR Manga app for a few years now with a lot—and I mean a LOT—of patience. I understand the app has a ways to go in improvements but honestly issues just kept getting worse and worse over time rather than improving. The amount of times the app would stay stuck on “Authenticating” forcing me to delete and reinstall is ridiculous. I’ve been forced kicked out of my account while I was reading manga because it suddenly didn’t recognize my account. Now it gets stuck saying there is no server activity. I should not have to be uninstalling and reinstalling this app this many times just to get caught up with my fave manga so far. Oof and don’t even get me started on the meager collection of manga available. It has some popular manga but come on, where are the bigger major titles of the season? Maybe we’ll get a bone thrown at us here and there but this is just making me want to just give up on this app altogether. I hope there can be some better improvements for the iOS version but so far, two stars is all it’ll get from me. :/

Would be great if it didn’t crash

Fairly large catalogue with a bunch of different genres to choose from, but riddled with bug problems. It flat out refuses to keep an account logged in regardless of your status(i.e premium or standard) and crashes every other time you open the app. If you fully close out of the app, you have to re-enter your information. Every. Single. Time. I can confirm all other reviews about the lack of a fitted look on your phone screen with newer phones or softwares, however that’s strictly when searching/browsing in the app. Reading any actual manga is ok, HOWEVER, it has to be an unbroken stream of reading. The second you lock the screen, change to another app, or I’ve even noticed when listening to music there are moments of glitchy behavior that eventually lead to a crash a reset of the app/sign in. I understand that the developers are ridiculous busy with the upkeep of both the Funimation and Crunchyroll streaming services and other app underneath their umbrella, but if there’s sometime to come back and give this gem some TLC, it’d really be one of the best apps for reading manga on here when there are so few quality options.

Absolutely abysmal

This app is by far the worst manga reader I’ve used, it’s been in service for a while now and after crunchyroll’s slow roll in taking over or shuttering other anime services all we’re left with is an app that even after close to ten years it still has the same issues and bugs that it has today. No matter how many times I am on a stable wifi connection or just on data it’ll log me out after each chapter. So I’ll have to be forced to kill the app, restart it and expected to log back into the app if I want to continue. For. Each. Chapter. I. Read. I seriously don’t understand how this can continue to be an issue when it’s very clearly how this app was built and what CR’s servers feed to the appI was forced to move to this platform due to their merger but honestly if this is how bad they’re going to treat any customers especially paying ones; I’d be better off spending a year off and just digging around the internet for the whole physical set than I am paying for a service that won’t spend the money to by their workers to make the serve better

WAY to restricted

This app is a good concept, but has some major flaws. First of all, the free content. There simply isn't enough to be worth your time at only one chapter per series being free. Second of all the selection. There is a noticeable lack of popular and classic manga series that are much more accessible and free on other sources outside of this app. Lastly, the required membership. If you plan on getting more than one chapter available(sometimes none) be prepared to sign up for a membership to get any sort of fulfilling experience out of this app. As for suggestions, employ a similar formula here that you did for crunchy roll. Make the app free to use at the expense of some adds and pop ups. Have the paid membership get rid of adds and many through in early access or even original Japanese versions of manga. It would also be helpful, in my opinion, to include some older manga such as the dragon ball series to pull in more people out of nostalgia. Hope my thoughts were helpful, thanks.

Good reading app, but has connection issues

Recently got back into reading manga and since I have a crunchyroll premium subscription, I decided to use this app awhile since crunchyroll had some volumes that were missing from a free site I had started reading Grand Blue Dreaming on.Sadly this app seems to have a re-occuring connection problem. I think it may be that if I don’t close the app properly and go a few hours without using it, the app will not connect to the server. Either that or it has an authentication issue... either way, every time I have this issue, I have to uninstall the app and re-install it just to be able to log in again and use it.You’d think a premium anime streaming site would have better support for the manga app, considering anime is what usually gets a lot of people into manga.

Still Broken

If you’ve been reading the reviews then you already know the issue. This authenticating/Infinite loading glitch has been happening well over a year now. I have also emailed them constantly, they continue to say they are aware of the issue and working on a fix and blah blah thanks for being a premium member. It’s pretty obvious they do not care. I’m currently on my second phone, my iPhone X and this problem started on my old 6S and it persisted into my new. It also doesn’t help that their regular anime watching app is also broken beyond belief on my X. They refuse to actually pay and get proper programmers to fix the problem with these consistent loading issues that is plaguing their apps. I’ve had it with crunchyroll I’m switching over to VRV as well subscribing to Comixology because as far as I’m concerned they have a wide selection of not only Japanese manga but regular American comics. Could probably cost a little more than crunchyroll subscription but at least I am getting quality for the money I am paying for and not some dumb PR email that’s copy and pasted every time crunchyroll gets a support problem.

Horrible Manga App…

So, I was prompted to rate this app when I opened it up today, and I was very eager to share my opinions on it. However, even as I attempted to write my review, the apps constant bugging and server issues prevented me from doing so. This happens most of the time I open this app; it has some sort of connectivity issue and won’t open.Even if it did open, there are still many issues that could be fixed. I hate having to scroll all the way down from the most recent chapter to get to the ones I’m actually reading. The app does a poor job of tracking my place in the manga I am reading, and often loses track of it. You have to start from the beginning of a chapter each time you begin reading. And half the time I try to open up the next chapter, I run into that same server issue I mentioned earlier.Please fix this app Crunchyroll! So many great series are trapped here, never to be read by those seeking to avoid the frustrations of this hellish manga reader.
