Pick WebComics if

you prefer a wider diversity of stories, including Chinese comics, and are willing to engage with a more complex system of watching ads and converting coins to gems to access content for free .

  1. [R5] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 5/5 · US 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
  2. [R8] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 5/5 · US 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
  3. [R14] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 4/5 · US 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!!
  4. [R18] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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
  5. [R2] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 4/5 · US Tappytoon: It’s a amazing app and there is many incredible comics on here but why I gave it a 4 star rating is because it’s uses a lot of points to read only one comic and that takes a lot of money to get points so that’s why, but overall I love this app!
  6. [R4] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US 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
  7. [R9] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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.
  8. [R10] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US 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.
  9. [R3] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US Ads: Seems like every other week a new ad comes along and breaks the app.
  10. [R7] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US SCAM: THIS APP CHARGED ME EXTRA MONEY AND IS NOT LETTING ME DOWNLOAD OR UPDATE ANY OF MY APPS BECAUSE I “OWE MONEY”
  11. [R27] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US He might bite: It’s a good story but why are you guys making me use my coins for a chapter I already bought
  12. [R30] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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
  13. [R13] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US 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
  14. [R79] WebComics 1/5 · US Paid for gems, not delivered: I paid for several gem packs, nothing has been delivered. Submitted screenshots through feedback, nothing but an automated response.
  15. [R1] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 2/5 · US Cannot read in Russian: Cannot read in Russian, I don't understand English, and even less so other languages · translated
  16. [R6] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US Idk: sorry tappytoon plz bring back the old version plzz
  17. [R64] WebComics 1/5 · US Account deletion is not an option.: I wanted to delete my account but lo and behold I can’t do it because the account deletion button is hidden now what am I supposed to do???
  18. [R12] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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!
  19. [R15] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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.
  20. [R39] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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
  21. [R17] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 4/5 · US 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
  22. [R32] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 5/5 · US 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
  23. [R60] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 3/5 · US 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?
  24. [R61] WebComics 1/5 · US They want to Scam you: Loved some of the comics in here but when you get 30 chapters in and aren’t buying gems to pay for chapters they remove the watch ad to release chapter which you only get 5 a day to begin with
  25. [R31] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US 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.
  26. [R55] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US App won’t open: Every time I open app it’s just blank loading screen for eternity
  27. [R58] Tappytoon Comics & Novels 1/5 · US 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
