1. [R1] 5/5 · US It’s only for select people: If your gonna get this app as a manga collector with a lots of room get this app just know this does not have Shonen and don’t pay for the subscription but if you aren’t starting a collection pay for the subscription only if you like romance and marvel cause that’s like everything they have
2. [R2] 5/5 · US Good selection for subscription price: I’m a shoujo and josei fan so it has what I want. My only advice is to make the single page larger to fit the screen when I turn my phone horizontally to a landscape view🌈
3. [R7] 5/5 · US AMAZING: I love reading on it wnd it has such a good variety
4. [R12] 5/5 · US Really love it!!!!: If you like reading manga I really recommend this one. If you like comedy, romance, more obscure manga, or any thing made by Rumiko. Then I highly recommend this app.
5. [R8] 5/5 · US “EXPECTABLE!”- me…..: Okay, here I start…………Now if you’re familiar with VIZ from physical manga’s and usually read physical manga….yes…it happened to me, it does feel weird reading manga on your iPhone or iPad but that’s not the case….this app’s great and even though most chapters and volumes are subscription needed, this app is definitely a 👏 Yes, MY REVIEW WAS BAD I KNOW 😭
6. [R18] 5/5 · US Thank you Viz!: I love manga and Viz lets me read many of them at good price.
7. [R22] 5/5 · US Great value for such a great service!: 2 dollars in this day and age for thousands of books!? You will never get a better deal! Unless you steal, which is just so wrong!
8. [R25] 5/5 · US Love this app: I was searching all day for a manga my friend wanted for a good price and I landed on someone recommending this app after I tried many other sites and apps and this one had SUCH a good price for it! And it has a good variety of books :)
9. [R4] 5/5 · US Fantastic app!: I love the content and simple controls and full spread when in landscape mode! I would love to see a „read by book option“ when it’s clear that an editor has curated a storyline into a book.
10. [R9] 5/5 · US Very nice.: Much like the Shonen Jump app, this one is very user friendly and great at keeping your books organized and bookmarked. Some of the series aren’t fully updated but I know they’re working on back log so it’s not a negative really. Lots to look into.
11. [R71] 5/5 · GB Actually very good: I've been using Viz Manga for a while now, and I can't help but give it a glowing five-star review. The user interface is exceptionally clean and intuitive, making it a pleasure to navigate through the extensive library of manga. The design is user-friendly, and finding your favorite series or exploring new ones is a breeze. While some content is behind a paywall, which is und
12. [R3] 1/5 · US Disappointing: I downloaded this app, hoping that I will be able to read a lot of the popular manga that was turned into anime unfortunately, none of the titles I look for can be found here and the titles are pretty popular
13. [R6] 2/5 · US Where is dandadan,Berserk,chainsaw man where is all the good manga: Please get DANDADAN
14. [R14] 1/5 · US Minor complaints: The things pretty good it had some of my favorite, but one of my only complaints that it didn’t have demon slayer, but I get it many chapters
15. [R28] 1/5 · US Kind of the worst?: I don’t understand why you pay just to access the apparent 10,000 plus mangas just to have to buy the volumes of the manga you want to read? I don’t get it. It doesn’t even have the more popular manga available to read, without having to buy all the volumes which again, kinda insane. But I digress.
16. [R100] 1/5 · CA Completely worthless and a waste of money: This app was great when you could individually download and read chapters for a subscription. Currently, you still get charged for the monthly subscription but you have to purchase each individual manga volume separately. What’s the point of the subscription? You literally pay for nothing. Whoever is in charge of these decisions is incompetent, asinine an
17. [R103] 1/5 · CA Not able to read: I’ve had this issue for a while now. Essentially, they changed the viewing from chapters to volumes and the volumes are locked behind a paywall, so now I can’t read the new jjk or chainsaw man chapters and it’s upsetting, but when I look this stuff up online it finds the chapters for me?? So I know the content is there, there is just no way to access it in the app anymore.
18. [R105] 1/5 · CA Chapters gone.: Can no longer read individual chapters of my favourite manga. Had bought the subscription to access this content but since I’ve updated the app I can only buy volumes. I’m not interested in virtual volumes. App will be deleted and revisited at a later date to see if they have rescinded this decision.
19. [R107] 1/5 · CA Why can’t I read the ones I want anymore: All the manga I was reading like one piece or jujutsu kaisen no longer let you read chapter by chapter anymore. What’s the point of paying for an app subscription to read them when it no longer lets you without paying much more
20. [R23] 2/5 · US M Rated Manga: Great titles to read and the app runs well but a lot of the Manga aren’t available to read on the app and I find that stupid. Why put them on here in the first place if we aren’t able to read them in the app? I mean after all that’s why we downloaded it and if I’m paying a subscription I’d hope to be able to read what I want in the app. It’s inconvenient and honestly stupid like why
21. [R38] 3/5 · US Wonderful, when you can read in the app: It may be due to content restrictions but the issue I’m having is that many of the series I’d like to read and actually gain access to I cannot read via this app. Not only that but there’s no easy way to get to the “web-only” manga series via the app or the website.
22. [R40] 5/5 · US Good: I mean there’s really nothing to complain except the web only, should have an age verification for the app because the website is so tedious. And I mean if I pay for the subscription I should be able to view web only in the app, other than that it’s awesome
23. [R48] 1/5 · US Now it’s useless to me...: I used to use this app to read Dorohedoro on my phone and now all the volumes I bought have disappeared. I can only read them on my computer now. It used to be the case that due to Dorohedoro’s age rating, I couldn’t buy more volumes in-app, but I could use the app to read them after purchasing from my computer, and that was fine. But now I can’t even read them??? The sc
24. [R29] 3/5 · US About app: The app itself is over all good but I don’t like that I can’t find a place to put a card info payment. If that could be fixed that would be great. Thanks
25. [R63] 3/5 · GB Mid: at first, VIZ manga worked perfectly well on my iphone 15 pro max but then all of a sudden, as of recent, it has been extremely laggy when navigating and turning manga pages. I’ve tried reinstalling, checked if any other content on the app have the same issues which it does. the website version of VIZ works completely fine. However, the app needs major improvements because at the moment it
26. [R70] 2/5 · GB Might just be a me problem but uhh..: I recently downloaded Viz after having Shonen Jump for over 2 years now and I wanted to expand my pallet a bit when it comes to manga. The reason I have my rating where it’s at isn’t because of the lineup but rather because every time I try to make the subscription it just says an error has occurred. Am I doing something wrong?
27. [R74] 1/5 · CA App does not recognize my subscription: If the app can’t tell I’m subscribed what’s the point!
28. [R27] 1/5 · US Let Me Read More: The fact that it limits a user from reading more than 100 chapters in a timer period is infuriating some chapter are only 2 pages long and now I have to sit here and do nothing?
29. [R33] 4/5 · US WOULD BE 5 STARS IF NO TIME LIMIT: why on EARTH would u add a time gate for subscribers to only be allowed to read 100 chapters a day, discourages reading and makes actual users of the app move onto other things…
30. [R59] 2/5 · GB Good Variety, Bad Functionality: Good stuff: title variety is much more diverse than alternatives like shueisha’s manga plus. Subscription is quite cheap, too! Bad stuff: you need a subscription to read anything past the first three chapters, no free first viewing like shueisha. Even when you do sign up, what you can read is rate-limited to 100 chapters every 24 hours, across all series - so you’
31. [R15] 5/5 · US It’s very good: It’s a very good app for reading and the price makes it even better but I think it would be better if you can filter through genres
32. [R106] 2/5 · CA The inventory of manga is severely lacking: The first red flag is that they don’t have genre categorization. That just screams there isn’t much there but also, what they do have are at least 20 years old or older. We are 2024 not 2004. You could do better viz.
33. [R164] 3/5 · CA Cannot save manga to library: Unless you download the specific manga, you cannot save the manga you are interested in the library. I only want to see update of the manga i care about.
34. [R165] 3/5 · CA Missing important features.: App is good but it’s missing one of the most important features. The ability to add manga to a favorite list. Or something similar so you can quickly browse the manga you like. I’m not sure why this app doesn’t have this simple feature.
35. [R77] 1/5 · CA say no to AI: i really appreciated all this app has to offer, which is why i'm even more disappointed that viz is introducing AI translations to beloved series. this goes against everything the industry should stand for. consider my subscription cancelled.
36. [R78] 1/5 · CA Cancelled Sub Because They’re Using AI Translation: If VIZ is so cheap and lazy that they’ll use garbage AI translations, then they don’t deserve a single penny from me or you.
37. [R13] 3/5 · US Overpriced: Overpriced manga when most places are free
38. [R37] 4/5 · US Nearly perfect app: I’m on a slightly older iPad and the app sometimes does weird stuff and won’t re-sort a list. But overall, very solid interface and good and usable app. It’s a shame they won’t let you subscribe from their website to avoid the 30% “Apple tax” on subscriptions. I’d love to pay more to the manga creators!
39. [R39] 3/5 · US Wishlist: I wish they would make the app look better. Inside, it looks like a mess. I hate it. Otherwise, it functions as it should; I enjoy masterpieces of manga.
40. [R42] 4/5 · US Excellent app, but please enable keyboard shortcuts: This is a great app at a great price! My only complaint is I can't use my iPad's Magic Keyboard left and right arrow keys to advance back and forth. It would be much easier to read that way than having to swipe with my finger...
41. [R45] 1/5 · US Laughably low resolution: The image quality is extremely poor for modern display standards.
42. [R61] 5/5 · GB Review about the viz manga app: The VIZ Media app is one of the best ways to legally read manga on mobile. It offers an impressive catalog featuring some of the biggest titles in Shonen Jump like One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and many more, alongside classic series and newer releases. The price point is excellent too, just a couple of dollars a month for unlimited access makes it one
43. [R32] 5/5 · US The subscription: Reading the manga for two dollar is so fun
44. [R36] 1/5 · US Horrible: 7-day free trial charged me immediately $5.34. The monthly subscription is only $1.99. So what’s that about??? Then I find out that the only reason I downloaded this app was for 1 single Manga. It isn’t available with the subscription. You have to purchase each individual volume! What a waste of time!!!
45. [R24] 1/5 · US What: Bought the subscription just to realize that to read what I actually want to I need to buy another subscription!!?????? Awesome!
46. [R87] 1/5 · CA Frustrating Paywall: Subscribed expecting full access, but major titles like Dragon Ball still require extra purchases. Why pay more per volume? Disappointing and misleading. Don’t waste your time here, try Manga Plus or fan translations.
