Who it's for
Tappytoon is for readers who prioritize high-quality, original webcomics and novels with excellent artwork, particularly those interested in BL content R1R32. It's suitable for users willing to pay for individual chapters or subscriptions, or those patient enough to accumulate free points through daily activities and limited ads R2R5R14. It is not for users who expect to read content entirely for free, prefer offline reading, or are easily frustrated by technical bugs and high in-app purchase costs R23R116R149.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily towards negative experiences, primarily concerning the monetization model and technical issues. While positive reviews exist, they often acknowledge the cost as a drawback. The developer's notes mention a 'fresh and modern design' and 'personalized recommendations,' but recent reviews still report significant bugs and issues that contradict an improved user experience.

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] Great comics and artwork: I don’t remember how long ago I’ve downloaded Tappytoons but I appreciate that they’ve never asked me to review their app. That pop up is annoying. I would probably say I’ve downloaded this app maybe 3/4 years ago. The artwork is amazing and the comics are original. I love that they even got some comics from SPOTTOON when they stopped continuing stories. I love when they
- [R4] It's a good app! But mostly the same artstyle for EVERYTHING: I personally enjoy this app with it's variety of stories, but it the style gets to a point-yn? I would like to see some more unique artstyles but I have other reading apps so it's ok!!
- [R15] 😇: Awesome collection of comics and novels. I can’t get enough of them.
- [R26] Love it!: I love the art in the novels here.
- [R2] Peak: Tappytoon is genuinely AMAZING it's bad we have to pay for coins but over all I love it, it's genuinely so good and totally worth the money, tappytoon has some really great manhwa and probably the best I've ever read
- [R9] i love this app: has good manhwa like code name anastasia and passion and is not bad in price
- [R12] He might bite: This is such a good BL!! I really like it and i recommend you read it!!
- [R17] Amazing: I love the stories that are on this app and in my opinion the price is reasonable for what I read. The stories keep me on the edge of my sit excited to see what’s next.
- [R5] Good selection and price friendly: They have a good selection of series and if you remember to check in daily, you can accumulate points to get a chapter decently quick, in addition the free ads can help as well. Sometimes free tickets are given out so you get to discover new series
- [R14] Amazing app: I LOVE THIS SO MUCH IM NOT A BOT BTW AND ALSO I JUST LLVE EVERTHING ON HERE I CAN NEVER GET BORED AND THEY EVEN HAVE GAMES THAT YOU DOWNLOAD AND RHE MORE YOU PLAY THE MORE CONIES YOU GWT AND YOU CAN UNLOCK EPISODES FOR FREE A MILLION OUT OF TWN RECOMMEND
- [R34] Tappytoon best app ever: Tappytoon is the best app ever you can read manga and comics and even get free points to read the manga so you can buy but you don’t have to and I am glad it is so much easier than my other apps!
- [R18] Jammers: This was a really good app! It has amazing graphics and features but the only thing I don’t like is you have to pay coins to read more.. but overall it was nice so I’ll give it a 4! :D
- [R37] Amazing: All the graphics and pictures are in a high quality but it’s kinda too expensive for a big reader like me
- [R47] Good!: In my opinion this app is really good, it’s a little confusing to use but once you get the hang of it, it’s good.
- [R51] Great Manga Quality: I’ve been working for a good manga app and although I wish it was more affordable it’s not beyond ridiculous I guess. I will say the quality is amazing and with so many options too. Also from I’ve experienced no ads.
- [R13] Coins: I do like it it’s just that we need to pay money to continue I story almost every time besides the first episode.
- [R23] Pay to read: Not good- expensive This is a pay to read platform. I looked at dozens of titles and each required u to pay to move past a certain amount of episodes. Like 3 are free. Do NOT use this platform. There are some that have actually free stories
- [R28] terrible: when the developers respond to these comments, it’s not genuine. You can only read one or three pages, then you have to buy stuff. 300 points for one page is way too much, it’s like they don’t want people to even use their app.
- [R105] Review: I dont like how you have to pay with coins for every episode
- [R27] My opinion!: I think its amazing but instead of 400 it should only cost 200 because it makes it much more difficult to read them! Also in my opinion I think most of them should be free! But up to you!
- [R31] Ok app to use: Its ok. The only reason i downloaded it was for Solo Leveling. But it costs 300pts. To read 1 chapter. And their prices are high to buy points. I would of given it a 2* but SL was on there and had to give it a better rating. Just go to webtoons. Better pricing/deals and their chapters are 3-7 coins.
- [R32] It’s good but i’d change a bit.: Pros: • The stories are really good and very interesting. • i like the art for everything! • i like the amount of BL’s on here 🤤 Cons: • i dislike how you only get an episode A DAY on the TTF (Time Till Free). • there are not many BL’s on TTF. • the ones that I do want to read, you only get the first episode, and then you have to pay for the rest. • coins a
- [R64] Had potential: If only they ran a service like WEBTOON where you are able to view a comics episode every week for free then this app would be more then five stars but due to the fact that everything is money and you have to complete quests that are either time consuming or sketchy for measly points then just because I can’t give it a zero it deserves a one. This app has potential but it’s throwing
- [R114] Not worth it/overall: I used to pay. The 12/24 hour cd should auto reset at set times. Not being right on time is annoying. Also the ads just take way too long. It may take 40+ mins sometimes to watch those adds and that’s just for 1 episode that’s 2 mins long. The trade off is wack. If something’s change maybe and I’m still around I plan to update my review.
- [R116] Not everything is free or reasonable: Daily episodes are nice but then there’s a certain point where you’d have to pay for the rest, or they take away the daily and make it fully paid, if you don’t wanna spend money then watch THIRTY ads for one episode in an 80 episode series. Seriously, why even add that feature?
- [R6] Ads: Seems like every other week a new ad comes along and breaks the app.
- [R89] App won’t open??: Every time I try to open the app it’s stuck on the first black screen with the mascot on it. I waited for half an hour and still no change. Please fix.
- [R117] App won’t open: Every time I open app it’s just blank loading screen for eternity
- [R118] App crashes: The app crashes all the time. It forgets my login information, making me login each time I open the app. (Unless the app crashes) it’s a shame
- [R133] Peyton: My biggest issue with the app is that once I own a manga I can’t download it to read it offline.
- [R149] No option to download for offline reading: I wish I had checked if it was possible to download for offline reading before unlocking all of Solo Leveling to read while traveling. I wanted to download chapters while on wifi to read on trains and and planes. Nope. Not possible. Looks like other toon apps have that option so I'm not sure why Tappy won't allow it.
- [R300] Good titles, no offline reading.: The stories are great, and very well translated. Unfortunately, even if you buy them, you can only read them online.
- [R25] SCAM: THIS APP CHARGED ME EXTRA MONEY AND IS NOT LETTING ME DOWNLOAD OR UPDATE ANY OF MY APPS BECAUSE I “OWE MONEY”
- [R39] Horrible staff: Compared to other platforms this one is nothing special. There’s more uncensored and adult titles offered on the big L. There’s lots of stories on this platform with paltry excuses for translations with errors and ugly formatting. If you raise any kind of issue be it technical or otherwise customer service has an attitude and will never help you. Expect to have them run around the
- [R45] The payment method sucks: As much as I love the story’s and try so so so hard to buy coins or to make a subscription the payment method here sucks so hard for 1 it’s only by PayPal and for some the try my hardest to use PayPal i never liked it but I try anyways it don’t work at all even when I think it already charge me it just resets my whole page and make me start over 5 times and every time I s
- [R124] It’s okay: The comics are mid only a few good ones Don’t try to get free coins it’s a scam I’ve tried several and only was rewarded once but that’s not the worse part I gave my real number and now I get endless amounts of spam calls and random calls from people and when you try to reach out to them they make it so complicated and hard for you to talk to anyone I deleted my account I wanna try to f
- [R20] Great app!!: Just wish there were comments
- [R103] It’s okay: The collection is pretty decent and the UI is modern. However, there is no comment section and I wish tapping on a webtoon with a new chapter out would take me straight to the new chapter instead of the last read one.
- [R230] A lack of community: You guys should add comments sections I’d like you guys a lot more and make more action stuff time till free 👍🏻
- [R134] Found this on my toddlers iPad: I found this on my toddler’s iPad she was watching inn appropriate content and sexual themes this morning I checked her iPad and she was tapping away on “quite in the office!” I read through it and I almost vomited this should not be child ratted
- [R190] Why 12 +: There is a good selection but you have to pay for so much and it should be 17+, there are some that have nudity and sex.
- [R16] Pretty nice: Very good platform, theyre pretty legit. Onlt thing i dont like is you basically have to pay for basically every chapter lol
- [R3] Amazing to use: I’ve been using this app for 5 years and it has never disappointed me! You aren’t required to purchase anything and the stories are still entertaining. Try it out :3
- [R10] Soo good: It is so good other than having to wait like a day for a new episode
- [R112] I can’t even download it: It won’t let me register because I can’t exit out of that stupid number keypad, I just wanted to put my age in there so I could register it but even if I tap the side or up it won’t let me exit out of it so i couldn’t press continue.
- [R109] Pretty good but have to pay 💔: Unlike Webtoon, you have to pay or watch a bunch of ads to get points. You basically have to pay to read unless it’s free and so far I haven’t seen any free comics 🤷🏽♀️ other than that is ok
- [R91] Prices: This app has some really great comics I’ve read a handful of stories I just couldn’t put down because they were so good. My only issue is the prices and how expensive the currency of purchasing points or coins or whatever it is to read chapters. I don’t think each chapter should be as expensive as it is to complete a series that’s only 100-125 pages long to have each chapter after all if y
- [R48] BEST APP: Love this app, month subscription is worth it. I know I could read most of this other places online for free but this app supports the artist and that’s important to me as a reader. Plus the selection and suggestions are superb
- [R262] Not worth subscribing for the app: The amount of credit you get when you subscribe is a scam as it’s hardly enough to read anything. Why offer a subscription if people have to top it up to enjoy any comic from beginning to end.
- [R272] Great App: I really like the accessibility and the varied options of content that is available. The only real downside for me as an avid reader, is not being able to just buy a novel out right and read it all the way through. Having to pay for Chapter after Chapter even after becoming a subscriber is so frustrating and sours the experience. Why isn’t there an option to buy novels? Especially, no
- [R127] Mediocre: While this app does have good options for reading, it is quite the hastle to even be able to read them. You have to have on average 300 points to read a single chapter, and the only way to get those points is to either watch long ads (you receive 10 points) or participate in challenged, which usually require you buying a product, downloading others apps, subscribing to podcasts, answerin
- [R146] It’s ok: I hate that I have to Watch 30 ads just to get 300 coins so I can unlock the episodes but besides that it’s a pretty good app
