What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Constant upsell pressure
Bad — Everytime I open the app it just asks me to pay for some subscription and won’t let me off that page
Changing sources — I can no longer go through source and certain manhua and manhwa no longer pop up for me after it updated and can no longer make changes and it keeps telling me to pay for premium after I already purchased it please fix…
Can’t read without premium — When you open the app it prompts you to buy premium. There’s no way to exit off of this screen without paying for premium so you can’t even use the free version.
Aggressive ad load
Payment plan — There has been a pop up ad for the payment plan. Which I don’t mind. But lately I have not been able to close it.
Not free — Dawg just find another app for reading. It’s supposed to be “free” but you can’t get past the premium advertisement screen without actually buying it. Some straight bs
Broken pop up — There’s no X button to get out of the premium pop up ad when you first start the app, forcing you to buy it to continue
Misleading advertising
Feels like a scam — The app feels like one big scam. Ads for it say it’s free but you have to pay for a subscription to see anything. It has a terrible interface and it not user friendly. Half the manga I tried to read it told me I could…
False advertising — They advertise the app for free but put actually using the app behind a paywall. I’m giving it two stars because for a year 50 dollars is cheap but I don’t know what is behind the paywall in the first places
False advertisement — Description says it’s free but it’s not… won’t let me access anything without subscription
Paywall blocks the basics

False advertising — They advertise the app for free but put actually using the app behind a paywall. I’m giving it two stars because for a year 50 dollars is cheap but I don’t know what is behind the paywall in the first places
Payment? — Do I have to pay to read the manga because it seems optional but won’t let me escape the payment screen
Paywall with no way past it
Not actually free — Maybe it’s a glitch in the app, but as soon as you open the app it gives you a popup for a weekly or yearly subscription for “premium.” You can’t exit out of the popup or ignore it, so I have to assume that means you…
Can’t even try it out without buying a subscription? — Nope.
Pay to browse — I get asking me to pay to read the manga, but you can’t get past the subscription screen without paying, meaning you can’t even browse the available manga without paying. That’s a ridiculous ask. Every other manga app lets…
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
