1. [R4] 5/5 · US Heartstopper: I must admit that I only use Tapas to read Heartstopper by Alice Oseman, but it is well worth it. The app is lovely and I am so excited to see new episodes light up my notifications!
2. [R6] 5/5 · US Phenomenal: This is my favorite place to read stories by a massive margin, love it
3. [R36] 5/5 · US DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!: This is a wonderful app, so many ways to get free ink, and AMAZING STORIES. If your a manwha/manga lover do NOT second guess, GET THIS APP. No story on tapas is realistic, that’s exactly why I love! I wants to find an app that allows me to escape reality, this is one of those apps. Like I said definitely recommended, I look forward to more wonderful stories! ❤️
4. [R38] 5/5 · US The story are compelling: Every story I read helps take my mind off on a adventure more exciting than the first. great graphics and wordplay
5. [R104] 4/5 · GB good comics but glitchy: i love the comics on this app - high quality art, translations etc. but the app itself is very slow (at least for me) for some reason, which makes the reading process a little annoying
6. [R20] 5/5 · US AMAZING just a little annoying thing: I LOVE this app! I love the authors and have made friends from this app! People in the comments are really helpful and kind! This app is amazing but one problem is the ink. Like any reading app you need to pay to read more or have coins and other stuff. Tapas has ink and when I joined you could watch adds for some ink but they soon removed that and add the tas
7. [R1] 3/5 · US Getting charged 3x more: So I have not had trouble till now that’s why it’s 3 stars, charging me 4.99 but on my card it’s being charged 19.99 idk what’s going on but this is ridiculous it’s happened 2 times already
8. [R8] 1/5 · US Overcharged me on the $20 bundle the charged me 65: Don’t buy points they will heavily overcharge you like they did me
9. [R9] 3/5 · US love but takes more money than listed: love tapas but the only issue would be when buying the ink the prices say 19.99 but it charged me 60$ this has happened on multiple occasions
10. [R11] 1/5 · US Expensive: They getting greedy by the year. I can’t even earn the points for free by doing those website tasks cuz even when I do everything I still don’t get none. On top of that why would they start to make ur ink expire like what that’s so annoying
11. [R12] 4/5 · US For the developers: The only reward working is the wood work jam one but I really like this new system so if you could fix this and make all of the rewards work preferably before the month when I can’t even use this one anymore please and thank you
12. [R15] 4/5 · US Fun Stories, Cheap Offers: After submitting multiple tickets to get credit for completing an offer, instead of resolution, I hear that I was supposedly cheating - although I was following their terms to the letter. I was a new user and was completing three levels on the same device. All the work was my own. It’s the advertiser, but Tapas needs to know. The advertiser didn’t want to reward 3 bracke
13. [R16] 3/5 · US Locks too many episodes: I like the app, I just don’t like how new episodes are locked and I have to pay money for ink. Even if I try to get free ink, it’s some bogus stuff that doesn’t even give me the ink. I get you need to get ink to pay creators for their stories, but I feel like only having a certain amount of episodes free just takes away from my excitement of reading the stories.
14. [R19] 1/5 · US Really bad app: Entire app is super glitchy, has a persistent network issue, and really difficult to use. Very bad experience.
15. [R35] 1/5 · US There’s always a network connection problem: I don’t have this problem with any other app I have to read comics. My internet is perfectly fine.
16. [R41] 1/5 · US Fix bug: I’ve been trying to scroll through the app but once I’m on there it literally freezes on me, it’s been going on for a while but since I can’t delete to download it again, since I don’t remember what email I’m using for it. I had ink I’m sure it may be gone now.
17. [R48] 1/5 · US Don’t: Just don’t. It doesn’t work anymore…. Go to another publishing website
18. [R2] 1/5 · US Parents Beware: This app exploits users by luring them into completing “offers” to read. The company is basically getting readers, especially naive children, do online labor for them in return for a chapter or two of a 200 chapter story. If you want to avoid this labor you’re forced to spend upward of $50 for 100 chapters of a single story. Mind you, these stories are not like novels. 100 chapters
19. [R18] 2/5 · US Selection is great. Options to be able to read are not.: Most if not all series allow for the first 3 chapters to be read for free. But after that it’s a paywall. Now this isn’t something I’m against, I am aware the creators and artists need to be paid for their work. However, every other manga/manhwa app that I use offer some sort of premium membership/subscription that allows for credits(ink) to
20. [R7] 2/5 · US This is an ongoing problem: I honestly don’t know if it’s the apps fault or not but I constantly get adds that I don’t have the ability to exit out of it’s getting ridiculous
21. [R37] 2/5 · US Used to be good: Has a lot of good titles and used to have a good amount of opportunities to get free ink with reading events but had less ink rewards over time. But my main reason why I uninstalled months ago cause the app started bringing me into safari and pulling up fraudulent websites sooo I’m not gonna come back for a while..
22. [R62] 1/5 · US Problems with this app: Random pop up ads, nothing good to read, I don’t like the way it’s formatted, and I just genuinely wouldn’t use this app.
23. [R64] 5/5 · US Annoying Pop-up: Hello! I just saw someone else put the same review about the weird pop-up that shows and send me to my browser with a “alert”. The alert is “from” Norton, the privacy software (which I don’t have) saying that it’s detecting Trojans and what not and that I need to press a link to download something to “correct” the issue. So far I’ve been getting this when I’m reading for more th
24. [R10] 1/5 · US what: I purchased chapters with ink and they got relocked WATCH OUT FOR THIS SCAM APP
25. [R25] 5/5 · US Free credits: Do they have an expiration date i swear I've been receiving free credits then they disappear and i also know about the one tap but its not enough missing to say i bought a page
26. [R30] 4/5 · US THE FORTUNE COOKIES ARE RIGGED: I love reading comics on this app but there is a problem with the fortune cookie every Monday. I just realized that the ink we get from the fortune cookies are RIGGED. It said I got 380 ink but when look at the ink that I already have, it looks smaller than usual. So I did some math and found out they only gave me 10 ink instead of 380 ink.
27. [R71] 1/5 · US The worst app ever: I had 800+ ink and when I came back I got 0 ink💀
28. [R14] 4/5 · US Desperately needs more ad watching options: 3 ads a day for chapters is so little. I spend ink normally when I get invested in a story line have used my ads and wanting more. Having only 3 ads limits my ability to get hooked and want to fiend ink. Highly recommend the WEBTOON model where the newest 7 to 10 are Ink only, the 7 before that are watch with an ad only and the ones before that a
29. [R26] 3/5 · US App: The app is okay compared to how it used to be. I hate the fact that we have to do offers to get free ink now and the worst part is that those so called offers don’t even work nor give you free ink because they’re always glitching. I miss when we only had to watch 30 videos a day and they would reload after just two minutes. I wish they would bring the adds back for free ink instead.
30. [R29] 2/5 · US Better way to get ink needed!?!: Hi, so I don’t usually write reviews! But it needs to be said. I want a better way to get ink. Then these offers that they have. Because most of the time, you have to fill things out. Pay for your result stuff. Then you might get the ink. I have a better idea. Let users watch 5 ads a day and each ad gives the user 10 ink. That way. After all the daily ads are up.
31. [R31] 2/5 · US Meh: They change things frequently without any notice. “Free” episodes keep decreasing, good stories keep getting dropped and the price of episodes keep increasing. The campaigns they run aren’t worth doing since you spend more then you get. Good stories are put under 1 free episodes for 72 hrs once every 24 hrs. It’s become impossible to buy bulk episodes unless they run a sale and sometimes that
32. [R3] 1/5 · US I can’t buy any ink all of a sudden!: I can’t buy any ink all of a sudden, which is naturally a huge problem! There is just no way for me to get on there and buy it, so I can’t continue the stories I’m desperately wanting to continue. And I don’t know what to do when stories come out tomorrow after rollover! I hope this gets fixed ASAP, because otherwise I’d give it five stars.
33. [R40] 2/5 · US Bug fix please: I been unable to get tapas to register any presses to the top left corner (usually where the back button is) this is the only app with the issue. I was able to confirm that my phone was registering the presses
34. [R5] 5/5 · US Good comics: 👍
35. [R39] 3/5 · US Need ink to read: I thought this app would be similar to other reading platforms where you wait to read episodes for free or watch an ad. Almost every story I saw required you to buy or obtain ink to read past the first 3 (free) episodes.
36. [R43] 1/5 · US Decent until it runs out: The app is a decent place to read comics and use their WUF “Wait Until Free” system to not have to pay to unlock these comics but that’s where it stops. Once WUF runs out on a comic, you can’t read more until you have gained enough Ink. If you want to gain more Ink you can try opening their Fortune Cookie once every Monday but that gives a small return. You can try gettin
37. [R55] 3/5 · US Too much lag to read or do anything.: The last few updates have caused lag on my app. I've tried restarting the app, the phone and nothing. Seems the updates are causing more bugs instead of fixing them.
