J-Novel Club

For the little I used the app it worked fine. What drove me to delete the app was the few manga I was interested in were all paid. Average at $8 a piece. So im good, im not gonna spend money on another service with a smaller selection subscribing or buying.

No back button have to constantly close the app

I used the app to create an account and I am supposed to get an email to very my account. I’ve waited an hour and nothing. I can log in and using “forgot my password” says it sent something, but again nothing has shown. Makes it feel iffy/shady.

The app works pretty well and I really like the way they have everything organized. There are only a few issues. When reading manga, 2 page spreads are not joined so you have to go back and forth to read them. When reading e books in paged mode, the text gets cut off by the rounded corner on the bottom left and vertical scroll is activated so you have to scroll a little bit to read everything. I wish that the app would automatically proceed to the next part when it is something that you have access to instead of making you press the next part button. I also wish the series share button would allow you to open the page in a browser rather than just share. Going to the series page is how to find out if there is a physical print of the series. It’s a shame that only about 10% of series get physical prints according to the numbers on the website but it’s understandable. The subscription is a pretty good deal if you find a couple new series that you like that are still publishing. However, access to the backlog is limited. You might end up having to spend $25+ to get caught up on a series so that you can actually use the subscription.

I haven’t been able to log in to the app since the website had issues in September. The login screen just fails to load and nothing has been done. It’s November 2024 currently and I will update this is the login gets fixed.

This review is for their app. Not bad when it works, but it usually has bugs. When you get a stable version you like, it eventually stops loading properly and you have to update. My problem is right now the upgraded app isn’t working at all! It seems to have lost all my reading history and won’t even show chapter titles.

The reason it isn't 5 stars is because app doesn't seem to have an option for a subscription membership. If you want one, you have to go to the website.

Paid for the coins but wouldn’t give me my coins!!

Really good app, i was looking a lot for where to read the novels and mangas I wanted to read and this app has them and has no add which is amazing and a bunch of other really good novels.

Downloaded this to try to read one series and got the subscription. Turns out you can only read the “catch up” stuff with sub. So no way to read it if you are behind without buying the book itself. If I wanted to do that I wouldn’t get it from this site, rather just go physical.
