- [R2] WebComics Good diversity among stories: I love the diversity amongst the stories even if they seem relatively alike they all have different personalities and themes. How they conclude is also different
- [R18] WebComics Good selection. Not enough benefits for premium.: Overall great selection up until you have to start paying to read. There are some benefits with premium but definitely not enough. Webtoon gives you enough monthly tokens to read 20 chapters whereas you only are able to read up to 9 chapter with the amount of gems that are offered each week. Something’s gotta give, either chapters become free quic
- [R65] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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
- [R74] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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
- [R27] WebComics Problems with menu when reading comics: Hello, I’ve been trying to message through the app but get no answers. When I read the comics on my IPad, the menu at the top will not disappear which intrudes on the reading experience. Very frustrating since I don’t experience this on other comics apps. I do enjoy the comics. This probably has the most extensive Chinese comics while Tapas and Tappytoon hav
- [R36] WebComics Kind of worth it: First off, the app is good I won’t deny that. The issue lies with its services. If you have a computer with ad-blocker, just use that since website ads can lead to potential viruses. If you’re on mobile just deal with the ads. While it’s cool that they have this as an app, it’s silly to pay for gems or a yearly fee to read manga/Manhwa when you can do it on their official websi
- [R108] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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.
- [R118] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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
- [R11] WebComics Love it! But…: I LOVE this app! I enjoy reading in it and using it! I’ve been using it for a while, but there’s a slight problem. I’m not sure if it’s an update or a bug, but lately my 5 add free watch thing hasn’t been working! I come back everyday, and it still hasn’t replenished! Idk what it is, but if ifs a bug, ok! And if it’s not, then ok again :3
- [R91] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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.
- [R107] Tappytoon Comics & Novels Great app!!: Just wish there were comments
- [R10] WebComics Expensive: You have to spend money to enjoy the app. And even when you spend money everything’s so expensive within the app that there’s a chance you can’t even read a whole book on here even while spending 20$ on it.
- [R42] WebComics Too expensive: I LOVE the comics very much and the amazing stories, but paying over 50$ go every comic and some aren’t even finished is ridiculous, I read about 6 comics costing over 20$+ just for half the story not finished yet. Please maybe consider making the chapters cheaper or having daily rewards for readers, or do better monthly premium rewards/benefits.
- [R64] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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
- [R79] Tappytoon Comics & Novels Endless money pit: If you pay 4.99 for a monthly subscription, you can’t even read more than three chapters. I paid over $20 just to read 75 chapters of a book that’s not even over it says read the rest of the series but they’re still writing it. So far I’ve only been able to read two books that aren’t even completed. I’ve probably spent $30-$40 and I’m now four chapters into another book that I c
- [R19] WebComics Paid for gems, not delivered: I paid for several gem packs, nothing has been delivered. Submitted screenshots through feedback, nothing but an automated response.
- [R73] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 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
- [R67] Tappytoon Comics & Novels SCAM: THIS APP CHARGED ME EXTRA MONEY AND IS NOT LETTING ME DOWNLOAD OR UPDATE ANY OF MY APPS BECAUSE I “OWE MONEY”
- [R112] Tappytoon Comics & Novels Waste of money: Wasted money on points to unlock chapters for the chapters to go back to being locked, won’t ever waste money on an app like this again.
