Tapas – Comics And Novels Customer Service

The app itself is great. It’s a fun app to read really good comics but it’s princely and glitchy. I’ve never spend so much money an a singular app before.I’ve almost spent $20 which I know might not sound like a bunch but it is considering I’ve never spent so much on an app. And yes you can get free ink to read but lots of them require you to put ur personal info which isn’t very safe I don’t know why they need to know so much especially because this app I feel is more categorized for late teens to maybe people in their early twenties. Who like me don’t have a lot to pay. I would like at least some free ink for at least a chapter a day because once a week isn’t enough. And the videos aren’t that great bc u have to watch at least 30 ads to read one chapter, which is a lot for just one. It’s really frustrating to know I can’t read many comics bc I won’t have enough ink and I’ll have to pay or risk getting hacked by giving my info away, it’s scary. Right know I’m only sticking to 2 comics bc I just can’t afford anymore than that, or else I’d constantly he spending money that I don’t have. The app itself it also glitchy it wouldn’t let me log in and would load and when the glitch was fixed it relocked 2 of the chapters that I’d bought, which was really frustrating. Pls I’d like for the app to be a bit better in ways of reading chapters. I know the creators of the stories need their share, which I totally support. But pls make it a little bit easier for us getting ink, at least don’t make us have to share our private info, it’s really scary. Like you can watch a 2 min add for a 100 ink or play this app to level 3 for 500 ink.

Like the app, got annoyed with many changes, but I’ve adapted to them and found some were nice later.. However, lately I’ve done their earn ink events. Like recently I opened over 300 episodes of the series they chose, to try and earn 25k and I didn’t get anything, and I opened way beyond 300 episodes. Bit upset there, since I set alarms to open episodes too. Plus today I also did a smaller event of opening an episode of a series, and nothing. Usually those give them after maybe a couple hours at most after completion, but nothing this time. I suppose I can give it 24hrs, but I’m also seeing a glitch of them not updating the new episodes and dates not being right on new ones too. So I don’t think I’ll be holding my breath. Either they’ve changed how you do those offers, such as what/how they consider “unlocking” episodes, or there’s a big glitch with it. Regardless, it doesn’t make me want to even try and read the series that are put up. Which is a shame, because quite a few series I’ve decided “Well I’ve had my eye on this for awhile, so why not try and read what I opened for the event?“ or “It’s been awhile since I’ve read this, I remember liking it, so I’ll binge while I earn ink!”, such examples. If this continues, I’ll probably only stick to what I’m already reading, or just look at things that catch my eye and not bother with anything that doesn’t seem interesting in the events.

Hello creators, I really love selection and the webcomics and webnovels on this app; however, the app will randomly freeze semi-regularly. ~Likes~ Some of the novels and comics are free or you can wait for to unlock chapters for free. The second is that the stories have minimal grammar errors unlike other platforms. I love the selection of LGBTQ romance which is the main reason I read digitally now. I definitely want to support the creators. ~Changes~ the ink system— I did some calculations and realized even though I use a lot of ink the ink to $ support conversion is not good :(. A few alternatives to this ink system: the option to unlock by chapter *and* the option to pay $20-35 (or a little more) for the whole story. Another alternative would be to offer a greater variety of price points for ink or be able to enter the amount of ink you need and pay for that much ink. Thank you for giving me a platform with so many wonderful comics and novels to read💜☺️! be able to enter a specific amount of ink and pay for that amount. The current system has ink bundles. The problem is if the amount of ink you need to unlock the remainder doesn’t fit into the preset brackets you have to buy multiple from the preset bundles if you don’t want to move to the next price bracket. IThank you for giving me a platform with so many wonderful comics and novels to read💜☺️!

Ah ok, it was updated, although now it looks like one of many comic reading apps, the categories and genres and contents on the day are easier to find and look better. Still that was all they did. They improved the app startup but everything else stayed exactly the same. The community is still the same. It's hard to find content there, everything looks sparse and poorly organized. Little diffusion, and that's the reason why it's easier for authors to grow on other platforms than on Tapas. The platform has its pros and cons for publishing indie content and I personally like it. But I still can't believe they updated the app and completely forgot about the community! People very little browse the community because most of the time they don't even know it's there. The same goes for the Spanish content. Tapas doesn't seem to give much relevance to Spanish headlines. And few consumers are aware that such content is translated. That is, it is not like other platforms in terms of different languages where it is given the same treatment. Here it seems that they only do it as a hobby. When the announcement of an update came out, I expected a better look for the community and not that everything, except the home page, will remain the same.

I love this app and recommend it to all of my friends. However, I have 2 major complaints that makes my enjoyment and time on the app lacking. 1- I usually use this app while lying in bed (usually laying on my tummy) with my phone at an angle so it’s still connected to my charger. Well more often than I’d like, my thumb will swipe not up and down to scroll through comics/novels but will be slanted or will accidentally swipe left or right. This can unlock new episodes if you have your settings set a specific way or take you back to a chapter you have already read. This is not the issue I’m upset about, just context to my problem. When you try to go back to the chapter you just left YOU END UP BACK AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE!!! It’s so frustrating to have accidentally swiped to a different chapter and than try to find where you left off. I would love for the Tapas Team to hopefully fix this issue so that I can continue to read in peace!! 2- It’s frustrating when a series goes on Hiatus and readers have no idea when to expect new chapters. Some authors and artists are good about informing their audiences on when they will be back but others don’t. Having a more definitive timeline on when an author/artist will return or more transparency with the audience would be nice. Especially if the reader has bought 40+ episodes.

First, generally Tapas is a super great comic with a lot of great variety and content. They also provide many helped up ways to read and get ink (I.e. through reading challenges and wait for free). However, with the most recent update the watch ads for ink feature was taken off and replaced with unlock 3 episodes a day by watching 1 ad each. While, I do appreciate this was at least replaced with another method, it is in my opinion is not as accessibly and supportive to readers and authors than the watch ads for ink. Prior to this change you would need to watch 30 ads (sometimes even a bit more) to get enough ink to read an episode, BUT the 30 ad limit would refresh every hour which meant you could, if you wanted, watch more ads to unlock MORE chapters. Additionally, after completing a reading challenge, if you did not have enough (most comics don’t usually cost exactly 300) than you could watch ads to get enough ink. Furthermore, the ink you’d get could be used for chapters to support the creators and/or donated (willingly) to support creators. Also, despite updating the app (automatically then manually) I have not received the option to watch ads to unlock a chapter but also do not have the watch ads for ink option either.

Tapas is a great app, there’s tons of comics you can read for free or you can earn coins if you’re not willing to spend money. The comics are great and there’s a huge variety of genres to pick from. don’t get me wrong I the app but the new update changed so now episodes you wait to unlock are only readable for 3 days after you unlock them. I’m not really a fan of that because some of the series you need to wait a whole week to get the free episode, and because i read a lot i need a refresher so i usually look at the past episode just so i’m not lost. But now that they changed it you’ve just got to deal with it. I know other apps also do the same thing but that’s why i preferred tapas over them because i could have all the past episodes i’ve read in case i need to look back at a part i’ve forgotten. Hopefully this will change in the future and go back to the way it was. I’m not even sure why it’s a thing, it’s not like the company will gain more money just because they do it, and if you want to re read the series you have to wait again unless you want to buy it if you haven’t before. I get that you didn’t buy the chapter so why would you get to keep it, but there isn’t a benefit to having that time frame. the people who use the WUF will continue and the people who don’t, won’t so i just don’t get it.

I have had this app for I don’t know maybe a month I download it on my tablet and I’ve had it for like a little less than a year but before I download it on my tablet I used to use their website I mean I like the website a lot but since I didn’t have the app on any device I t get ink to read certain stories but I have the app I have the ink and I can get the story’s and I love this app so much it’s got so many stories I love it I mean my personal favorite genre isBLAnd it’s like got a whole lot and I love it so much and like some of the best ways to get ink is to just download apps and play games to earn ink and you can also watch ads and you get fortune cookie said I’ll give you anywhere from like I want to see 100 to 1000 ink I think the prices are for ink are a little bit pricey if you want to buy with money I also think that the stories are just the teensiest bit pricey to feel like they could be a little bit cheaper and you can find so many comics for free so overall it’s a great app I totally recommend football comic lovers for a while I use web tune but I like this so much better I can find so much more for you but if you’re looking for a good comic app to download this will be it!!!!!!!!!

(I actually mentioned this issue on you’re guys Instagram and it said to contact you guys so I hope this is good enough i do not know if I have to email you guys but if it doesn’t fix I will try to do that) I love this app I’ve used it for many years (I think since I 10 or so I’m 15 now) and never had a problem as I use it on my iPhone but recently since a few months ago I can’t remember exactly when it started (sorry for that) the app has started shutting its self down countless times upon me using it for ex I was reading SE;ki and I could maybe get trough two more newly updated comics before in the middle of me reading it would just down and from that moment it will happen 2-3 more times out of no where until I just give up and stop using it for some time and when I choose to use it again it just shuts down again at first I thought it was just my phone but than I gotta new one and it is still happening I’m guessing this is just on mobile device because I use it on my laptop though it’s slow as heck so I don’t prefer it but on that it does not shut down only on my iPhone so please fix this I love this app so very much and I don’t want to have to go back to reading webtoon T~T it isn’t as good!

Honestly, everything on the app is straightforward and easy to understand. And not to mention, a lot of the manga are very inclusive on sexuality, gender and many more. There’s also a lot of variety, so finding a story you like isn’t that big of an issue. Then there’s the ink. There are wait until free manga that you can read, where every 3 hours they are free to read again and you don’t have to pay anything. Then on Monday’s you get free ink via a fortune cookie, which you can use to unlock episodes that aren’t part of the WUF thing. And if you don’t have enough ink, there are ads you can watch that give you five ink for every ad that you watch. I believe the max ads are 30 for 2 hours, but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, even the ink earning system for the manga’s are great! Love the app, and 100% recommend. However I have had recurring issues with the app, where every time I try to open it my phone automatically logs me out. It’s happened every few months, and is really frustrating to deal with. Be aware of that when downloading the app. There is also the freezing issue where tapas will freeze randomly, so beware of that as well.

I love reading so many different stories. The authors work hard putting forth their ideas and the art is so lovely. I have no issues with the content, but the app itself irritates me to no end. The wait for free episodes are pretty much the only way I can read most of the titles, but now they have made them so they only unlock for 72 hours. I have wasted so many free episodes because I scroll to the next in line that’s locked only to find it’s the one I previously read. I don’t trust the “continue to #” option as I have had it unlock episodes way ahead of where I actually am, now I can’t even trust I’m unlocking the next episode anymore. The cost of ink is too much to bear purchasing regularly and although you do get free ink every Monday, and there are events that can get you some free ink as well, it’s all to easy to scroll down the page and accidentally swipe to the next episode and spend ink. It’s very frustrating.. if you’re looking for a better deal that allows you to read these web comics, you’re better off using WEBTOON or Manta.

I love all the series available to read, but the rendering time when opening the app reaches unholy amounts of wait time. I think whatever is processing/running leading up to the daily recommended reading/news/event pop-up is getting stuck in something, like a recursive loop or the like. It’s often I find that the app won’t start working as expected until that pop-up comes up and can be cleared. Until then, the app won’t refresh when you swipe down, you can’t read any chapters, and no other user data can be called. It could be a coincidence that that’s what has to happen before I can do any reading, but it seems to be the trend. I think using the carousel at the top of the app to hold announcements would work best until the wait time issue is fixed. Sometimes I’ve just closed the app and reopened it until I can get that pop up. It’s very annoying but might have to use desktop until the issue is fixed. Waiting for more than 5 minutes for data to be called should be illegal /s

Now here me out I’ve LOVE reading comics/ manga and I use lots of different apps right. They are all good but let me tell ya tapas has more adult content. I’ve been reading from smack Jeeves because it’s free and more mature. But it’s hard to keep up with it. But tapas has all the comics I’ve been reading on smack Jeeves. You don’t have to pay to read good comics like LezhinComics or webcomic and it’s simple to get ink. It’s not like webtoon that you have to find your updated comics it’s simple and straight forward. Although sometimes when I wanna read something it tells me to go to the website, kinda a hassle but just go to website and read it from there and it will directly transfer to the app. I just love tapas cause it’s more mature and has a variety of different story’s to read. (Did I mention it has novels) Now I am not the type of person to read novels but it is a great tool to use when your parents ask you what your doing. Just pull up and novel and BAM your reading. Awesome would recommend. But do wish it showed which comics/novels you viewed and gave us more options for the genre like GL fan fic ect. Cheers 🥂 😉

I haven't been using tapas too long, but i definitely prefer it over webtoon or other apps (haven't tried manta but heard good things) tapas has a clan interface, plenty of popular manhwa, and it's user friendly!! it's very easy to get ink, the currency that you use, because they not only have offers (which have a nice amount of rewards that is actually useful), but every monday you get free ink, completing missions gives you ink, and for your first week u just get free ink every day. lots of their manhwa are WUF (wait until free), where you can get a free episode after a certain amount of time (1-3 days), certain collections or events give you free episode unlocks for any series you choose, and every saturday they give u free episodes for a selection of stories. the only things that really bother me are that you can't delete the episodes you download if you download them on accident, you just have to wait the 30 days, and that sometimes i have to close the chapter and reload for images after i have bad internet for a minute

It’s a great app and I love the comics on it.....but there’s a pretty annoying problem that I keep coming across. When I want to reread a comic it can freeze, like I’ll get to page 10 and it will show a grey screen and it will freeze, and I have to close the app and open it again. I have to do that quite a couple of times if I want to get through the rest of the comic which is really bothersome. Sometimes it doesn’t even happen when I’m rereading a comic it happens when I click on story/comic that updated and it won’t show the page it just shows a grey screen, then I have to exit and reopen the app. Other than that I love everything else about the app the comics are great and the creators are amazing, I’m a little irritated with the way the ink works where you basically have to buy the ink (which is pretty expensive) if you want to read a certain comic and yeah there’s ones with timers but when the comic gets to a certain point you have to start paying for it....and a lot of comics you have to pay for or use ink. I just wish this glitch or whatever it is can be fixed and that ink is easier to get.

I have had tapas for about two years now and to be honest the quality of this app has gone down, because of having manhwas and etc that are readily available in other apps and also sometimes there aren’t a lot of titles available for some genres, and I wish tapas was able to translate more Chinese manhwas. Also to note about accessing chapters you need to have the money to access the chapters which the currency is labeled as “ink” or you could earn “ink” by completing odd questionnaires or completing challenges to earn ink if you don’t have the money to be spending on chapters (please do note that to complete these challenges you need to be 18+) (however most of the ongoing series will be locked or have this thing called WUF) so you would be able to have money to spend the ink on these chapters or else you have to risk waiting for them for 3 hours or so ( but this waiting is only available to some series) others will be locked, however the series that are finished will be free thankfully, so to sum it up this app is friendly to those who are broke to those who can afford to unlock the chapters

I’ve been with Tapas for over five years. Let me tell you it was great seeing them grow from just a community of rising artists to now offering high quality premium stuff to read. I love the diverse novels and comics offered. They have free comics, ones that are unlocked after time is passed and ones that require ink. Ink is super easy to earn now compared to the past when it was just coins. They have partnered with much more sponsors. The best thing that sets them apart is the fact that we are able to support the artists and writers by donating these ink! I love that! What compelled me to write a review for the first time ever is that recently I was hacked. 50,000 worth of ink was gone. I contact the Tapas team and they resolved this problem on a timely and professional manner that allowed me to gain access to my account again and recover my stolen ink. I am so grateful to them and they have definitely earned my loyalty. I hope this app continues to prosper as it has. And once again. Thank you Tapas team. I hope others will enjoy this app as much as I do.

I f*#%$ing loooove this app but of the variety it offer, the artist are so freaking talented. Each webtoon holds your tightly in its grips and you can’t help but love being captivated by each story development. But for the love of god can this app work like a functional software!!!!! It’s so fristrating with your about to climax at an important scene and the app crashes because tapas decided on a promotional toon and it wants to show the users. Smh and when you try to go back freezes for so long. Not to mention it’s a tease with the app decides to upload slowly so your looking at the cover of your favorite subscribed money spent comic and the chapter won’t load at all for thirty minutes. It’s enough to give you a heart attack!!!! But because I love the effort and communication from the artist and developers it gives me hope they’ll get better. I love you guys just concentrate on the software as much as your focus on the creation of each webtoon! Thanks you

Don’t get me wrong, I think the Tapas app runs really well, especially on my kind of old phone. It’s very easy for me to find and read all the comics in my library and there are a lot of great comics to enjoy. All the comics I have in my library are spectacular. Honestly I don’t really feel as if Tapas is the place for books as it’s been a comic site for so long but you do you. The main issue is that it seems to be getting harder to get to the regular creator-made comics rather than the “Tapas Exclusive” pay-to-read ones. You were really doing well with the new tab you had that featured comics and then you’ve replaced that with another page for your pay to read comics and books. I love your app and the comics on it, but please try to stay true to your original base and focus at least a little more on your everyday creators rather than your sponsored ones. Besides this, your app runs really well. I rarely have issues with it and everything works smoothly. I can appreciate the work all the developers have put into it and the coin system works well. Nice job.

Using the iPad version of app. Just forced me to update and I already hate it. It was near perfect before the update, but afterwards, if I scroll through the chapter, the top and bottom menu/next chapter banner and footer keep popping up. I think it’s too sensitive? I scroll/flick up and then occasionally sort of long tap on the screen to “catch” or slow down/stop my scroll, but apparently they see that as me tapping to open up the menu so that pops up. Constantly. I’m at my wits end because I have to be so careful about scrolling now just to read one single chapter… Please…PLEASE undo what you did to the tapping sensitivity for the update. 🥺 It used to be perfect. Otherwise, I really like the app. Like I said, it was perfect before update and I constantly bought ink to support artists and Tapas. The story selection is very nice and I appreciate you guys adding so much new content. I see a lot of people complain about crashing, but I have not had this problem. I wonder if it’s because I’m using the iOS iPad version.

The app is overall wonderful. I use it frequently to read and spend quite a bit of time on it. When I’m on the app, I listen to music in the background, but there is one specific ad that comes on at the bottom of novel episodes that pauses my music and cues up a sound that is titled ‘Scanning Your Device’. It freaked me out the first two times it happened, but after hearing it pretty regularly, I started writing it down. Turns out, the McAfee ad is playing an alarm sound effect in the form of a song. It pauses my music around every 20 minutes, no matter where in the episode I am. I could be at the top of a new episode and not even have the ad on screen, and yet, the sound still plays and my music still stops. Very frustrating that an ad plays sound before you interact with it or see it at all. Would love to see this fixed. Other than that, this app is easily one of my favorites to read on. Hope to see this ad removed or the sound playing on its own resolved soon.

^^^^Use this code to get 200 inks^^^^ The app is really good I’d recommend it if you love comic/anime style books the art is fantastic and amazing, only downside is that it’s a bit costly to pay for the stories

Every chapter the app freezes and I have no choice but to close and reopen the app- it is getting to be quite annoying

(Use the code above ^^ for free 200 coins when you register your account) Amazing app!! I absolutely love it!! Also if there’s a problem all you gotta go is close the app for a little while and go back on. Definitely recommend this app for reading its great and the art is beautiful!!

Use this code to get 200 inks when you first sign up ^^ Code : TAEH045J

Be careful trying to get free ink from special offers (downloading games and getting certain levels), tapas does not give you the full reward claiming that conditions changed while you’re playing hard to get to that goddamnn level But there are tons of talented artist there. To bad tapas fails its users tho

I’m liking this app so far. It hasn’t given me difficulties, no annoying pop ups and the comics look nice. This has reached my standards for a good comic app. I can’t give it a 5star because I haven’t been on here for long:) if you want 200 inks then you can use the code above.

The content is really good but sometimes I have trouble getting into the app. I open if then it freezes and jumps back out to my Home Screen :>

Before 2.9.0, in some series you could watch an add to unlock an episode for up to 3 episodes (total) per day. They removed this feature and once again made the prices go up by an obscene amount. Extremely disappointing!

Pretty neat

I tried contacting them twice. They did not answer me yet and it's been 3 weeks. I went and paid for one of their Tapjoy offer and I did not receive the ink. I will be using the ink I have right now and when it depletes, I am deleting the app for sure. Oh, and the app has been extremely buggy and laggy for the past few weeks. Can't open the app properly without closing the app once and reopening it. I'll change my review if they finally answer my email and my request. Otherwise, DON'T SPEND MONEY IN THE APP AND SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS ON THEIR OWN PLATFORM LIKE PATREON OR SOMEWHERE ELSE! Don't give your money to Tapas. EDIT: They solved my problems and gave me the ink I was supposed to receive. But it took more than a month, that's why I put 4 stars.

I love the comics in this app, but my god is it buggy. I very often have to open and close the app multiple times for it to work. It seems the pop-ups make it break sometimes. I’ve spent a lot on Ink so I do hope it’s fixed.

After a recent update, every time I open the app, the screen is greyed out with a message that VPN isn’t allowed with Tapjoy — but I’m opening Tapas to read comics, not use the Tapjoy advertising platform. It’s super annoying to have to close that out every time. The VPN message should only pop up when someone goes to use the Tapjoy part of the app to watch ads for free ink, otherwise please stop nagging readers to disable a security feature on our devices.

I really like this application, I love the people on it and the books. I give it a 5 stars review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. There is only one problem, I am unable to read. Each time I try to read a book, my screen froze. It’s been doing this for 3 days now. What’s weird is : it was working before. I tried to fix the problem, but it didn’t do anything. I even erased the application to download it right after, but it still didn’t work. I don’t know if it’s my wifi or Tapas, but I would be really happy if you tried to correct it. Thanks a lot!!

This is such a great app to find webcomics and support the artists. 10/10, would recommend.

So many fantastic stories and different genres! One of my all time favourite apps!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I am really enjoying this book. Wonderful insight into emotions.

It’s really filled with variety of genre, updates daily, and its you aren your share.

I’m a WEBTOON user so it definitely took some time to get used to this platform. I for one like the books on this app. I think the books on this app suits my taste a lot more than WEBTOONs. I always thought I could not get used to and refused to read books on a daily pass or on here WUF books. But I guess when you are really interested in a book you make do and accept the fact bc I refuse to spend money on ink in this app. Now what I don’t like is how much ink you need to purchase a chapter. Most chapters with tap on are 300 ink and when you use your once a week fortune cookie there’s a chance you get 250 which for most do not open a chapter you want to read. Other than that there’s no real way to earn free ink on this app besides the survey which are pretty much useless for earnings. I don’t mind the WUF episodes bc obviously I like the stories I am reading and I can wait but I honestly think a regular weekly update is a lot better than the WUF episodes only bc once you reach the minimum chapter limit you cannot access them until they become available. I am also not a fan of the WUF episodes going out of commission bc a story is on Hiatus. I think ppl should still be able to get a weekly or WUF episodes until the last episode airs. I find it unfair that ppl need to wait for the book to come out of hiatus for them to finish a season. I would rather wait for the chapters to build up so I can receive weekly updates for the chapters.

I’ve been a long time user of this app. And it has been my go-to for comics. New series are being released almost weekly, and the content is really good. However, over the past year and a half Tapas has significantly increased the price of chapters while decreasing opportunities to earn free “Ink” (the app’s currency), and decreasing the availability of free chapters. Sales on purchasing ink have also decreased so the ink is more expensive to purchase now also. A certain amount of beginning chapters of each comic are available to be unlocked over time or with “passes”, however they are only unlocked for 72 hours now instead of being unlocked permanently as they used to be in the past, and instead of only waiting for 3 hours to unlock a new chapter, now they only give you one every 24 hours. It’s become so expensive to read comics here that over the last several months I’ve started to move to other apps and platforms for the majority of my reading needs. I don’t mind spending money, and I’ve spent several hundred dollars reading through this app in the past. However, I don’t like to invest in paying for a comic unless I can read the first several chapters to see if it’s going to be a good series. Having to wait several days to read the beginning of a comic is annoying, and I’m not able to re-read comic series I’ve paid for in the past because the beginning chapters are no longer available to read unless I want to buy them or wait several days to unlock them again for free.

OKAY SO I friggin love the stories I find on Tapas compared to webtoons, and the audience is smaller so there’s more commentary that’s actually relevant to the story, which makes it easier to be seen and have conversation. Tapas really has great content. But WOW this app does not care about the functionality. To be honest, I find the app a little difficult to navigate at first, especially since the “messages” tab has nothing to do with comments you leave or receive. You have to tab over to “activity” to see notifications like that. But MY GOD the app just BREAKS all the time! On the regular! It crashes very often, especially when I want to leave a comment. Sometimes it’s fine and I have no problems. But more often than not, especially compared to Webtoons, it freezes up and you have to close it and reopen it to do anything. I never have this problem on the desktop, but this is an app made for mobile consumption. I also have spotty wifi, but again, I DON’T have the same problem with any other app (besides Amino). I don’t know if it’s a budget issue or a quality control issue, or whatever. But I’m (and I’m sure others are too) BEGGING tapas to fix their mobile app to functions better!! Sometimes the entire app just stops working and nothing will load from the get go. I’ll stop now, but I desperately wish my experience on Tapas was better. Especially since the stories and comment section are better than other webcomic apps.

I love the tapas stories but there is barely any stories available where you can wait to read. You either have to spend hours doing surveys to get the ink to unlock chapters or buy ink. I’ve spent, no lie, around $300 on ink, if not more, so I could read these flipping stores. Each chapter to unlock costs 300 ink. I just feel like I should be getting more out of my buck if I’m going to be spending my money. Also, the surveys you can do to get free ink are bogus. It’ll say the survey will take 3-5 minuets but actually take upwards of 20-25 minutes just to get like 200 ink MAYBE. And asks the same question 10 times. There’s no guarantee that you’ll even get what was promised either since it goes on length of survey. The app will give you some randomly but I mean it’s enough for one chapter then you’re out of luck. Also app developers can y’all please for the love of everything fix the surveys? Like make them more user friendly on phones? Why do I have to enter the same information a million different times? Also put in a keyboard in the app that gives auto generated answers and don’t have surveys that ask the same question a million times on the same survey. Like seriously, I dont mind filling out surveys I just don’t like when I spending 25minuets on a survey for 168 ink that said was only suppose to be 5mins and when it’s finally completed I only get like half of the promised ink.

I love this app and have been able to use it with little to no problems in the past, but lately it seems to just not be able to accomplish basic tasks on my phone. for example, i paid $10 for more ink and received it but am unable to use it to unlock episodes. When I go to spend ink on an episode it says it’s loading but it doesn’t stop loading no matter how long I spend waiting. If I have the patience to wait long enough, my phone will turn off and when I turn it back on it will still be loading. I don’t care about the money as much as I’m upset I haven't been able to unlock episodes with the ink I have. It also doesn’t load in rewards, let me subscribe to comics, let me edit my account or change my password. When I go to save changes or reset my password it either tells me an email with a link has been sent (and never sends me an email) or that they “couldn’t find anything I’m looking for” I’m able to read free episodes just fine but the technical difficulties have been frustrating. I’ve updated the app and my phone completely, tried running the app with cellular data turned off on every app but this one(which sometimes works even on wifi for some reason), and nothing has changed. I would love to figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it moving forward because I enjoy this app a lot when I’m able to use it.

I’ve been using Tapas for a few years now and before these updates, I would’ve definitely rated this app with 5 stars. However, with many apps adding the system of not being about to completely unlock the episodes/chapters you have already read when that feature was one of my FAVORITES from the app, I feel extremely conflicted. I love the new wait-until-free 3 hour feature for the app’s update and I totally understand the marketing of the more the reader unlocks the episodes, the more they would want to spend their ink on unlocking them completely but from what we used to have (being able to unlock WUF’s completely), this was a huge let down. One of my favorite past times before this update was to sit down and reread all of my favorite manwhas multiple times and not having to worry about accidently misclicking on an episode and having to wait the 3 hours-7 days to read what I actually wanted to click on. The 72 hour time frame is another thing that I disliked, as it’s just not enough time to read what I want to read before it disappears. To the developers for updates, if you want to keep the time limit as to reap in more money and/or clicks, why not make it a 7 day time frame? That way even the 7 day WUF’s are available until the next read? All in all, the update made me very upset, but in the world of marketing and advancing manwha apps to be faster pace, I just wish that we had one app that could stay truthful to themselves. Thank you for your time.

I enjoy the variety that tapas provides however the new update has caused me some frustration, I understand that they need to display their sponsored comics however it’s overly difficult to find comic that you can read if you are unable to read the featured ones. Even then it takes even longer to find comics you already haven’t seen. While at first this didn’t bother me so much I’ve become increasingly frustrated because, while not always, sometimes when I leave a comic I was quickly looking at from the genre category in the community comics, I go all the way back to the sponsored ones. I also have issue with the discover tab, while I really like the idea in theory the first thing you see when you open it is a featured comic suggested not at all based on your tastes. Even when you scroll down to the community comics, you only see comics recently updated. Rather than this I would display comics with a good amount of hearts(?) for the amount of subscribers(?) that doesn’t already have a huge fan base. Preferably these comics would also be updates rather recently as well. However this is most likely hard to implement so if now this then simply display comics that the user has not read in the genres the user prefers to avoid someone who doesn’t enjoy romance comics getting suggested “chief seduction officer”. Even easier just turn it into the community comics/novels tab

So…I’m new to tapas. I’ve been a fan of Webtoon for awhile. But I wanted more comics bc I’ve basically seen all the ones of Webtoon. Tapas is amazing!! It has so many comics and they’re so cool, but the problem is you have to download the app in order to earn free ink and have one touch or whatever. And it’s really hard to use. The notifications do not consistently work. It was really hard to navigate, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to claim my new to the app pack. Occasionally I would get notifications that say “claim your new pack” and I would click on the notification. It would bring me to the app and then say “sorry we find what your looking for” 🤷‍♀️. And I scoured the app looking for a way to find it myself, but no luck. It would log me out of the app multiple time a day. The ads (for free ink) malfunction a lot (sorta, to be fair I was watching a lot of ads lol). But I can deal with all of that annoying stuff. What was really frustrating is when the app shuts down. I’ll be watching a comic and the screen will freeze and turn black. And when I try to go back in the same thing happens again. I was so concerned that I decided to delete the app, and maybe try to redownload it later. The whole day I’ve been thinking of the comic I was reading earlier 😓. I dont know what to do at this point. I hope, if I decide to redownload, that I have a better experience.

This app used to be really good. I’m not sure anymore if it’s because the phone updated or if the app has just gone down hill. It used to be that you could log in and read comics without any problems. You could complete offers or surveys for ink without trouble. But now there are times I open the app and it opens frozen. What I mean is I can’t tap anything, I can’t make sure I’m logged in, nothing works. I have to open and close it a few times since it just stays that way if I leave it open. Random comics will freeze while you try to read them and you have to close the app and reboot it. But don’t expect that comic to work when you get back to it because the freeze will happen again. It’s not all the comics, just random ones. As far as ink goes you might as well not try anymore. You could have completed surveys before hand but they handed off that power to a third party. So you might get to the end of one, the app says it doesn’t count, and auto start a new one without earning anything. Or you’ll complete one but the ink never reach your account. Complete if offers never hits your account either. So if you want to read a paid comic then wait a week or two for the weekly bonuses or pay for ink. Today I had a bunch of comics updated and while I was reading one (Ghost Eyes) my comic froze. I got out and back in and all the comics in my updated tab were gone. I tried to get them back but nope. Just gone. I can go through my library but this was just annoying enough for me to type this up here. The rest of the comics are great, but it’s a shame you don’t always get to read them.

Without mentioning the unreliable and intermittent sources of ink, for which chapters are overpriced, the app itself has a lot of issues. It frequently freezes on itself, takes a while to load, and sometimes crashes. I wanted to download chapters of one or two webtoons to read during my trip without wasting battery on data. Several annoyances arose. There is no ‘download all chapters’ option, so you’re required to tap download for each and every chapter of the 1-2 hundred chapter webtoon. Then, the app starts freezing because having more than two chapters queued for download at a time somehow is too much for it to handle. And if you have more than five queued, the downloads will intermittently fail, and then your app will crash. These crashes will continue each time you attempt to reopen the app, up until you give up and delete and reinstall the app and pray you can log back into your account. Update: reinstalled, logged in, spent half an hour waiting for each chapter to download before clicking the next before the app decided that 100 chapters downloaded was too much and promptly began instantly crashing on load up again :) It’s genuinely just inefficiency and inconvenience like this that drives readers to aggregators instead of reading on the official site or app. LAST EDIT: it seems like downloading anything at all will cause the app to crash upon load up from then on even if it doesn’t crash during download. I had one webtoon of 50some chapters downloaded and the app began crashing instantly when I attempted to open it an hour later.

Edit: Tapas! Either take reports of malicious commenters more seriously or give us an easy way to block them on the app! Smarter people than I am have discussed the trolls/malicious comments on this platform on reddit, NU, and another webcomic app. Manta did it. Tappytoon did it. Webtoon patrols their comments religiously. You’re losing users over this. The titles that Tapas contracts are usually pretty good, but they can mostly be found on other platforms that do a better job of moderating comments. It’s 2026. I shouldn’t still have to read a comments about assault on minors by users whose names reference child pornographer on a romance fantasy comic. Tapas lacks moderators to actually curate the comments they allow on this platform which results in an extremely negative, vile comments section on comics that have nothing to do with material like that. If you just want to read comics and you’re happy to pay per chapter for the pleasure, there are so many other platforms. I can’t think of a single title on Tapas you can’t find elsewhere, and every last one of them moderates comments better than this one. And since Tapas doesn’t give users a way to easily report heinous content or to silence comments altogether, it’s really open season for trolls and groomers. Average readers are powerless to deal with them and it really ruins the experience. If you just want to read, there are way better options—at better prices, too.

I genuinely love reading comics through taptastic, and many of my very favorite comics are posted here. However, the app has significant issues that have not gone away, despite the app updating. About half of the time when I open the app nothing loads, and the rest of the time there are connectivity issues that are not caused by anything on my end. Sometimes when I unlock an episode, the app freezes or just displays a blank page. And recently, the app has started crashing a few minutes after I open it. This app is a convenient way for me to access the content I adore, but the problems have begun to outweigh the benefits for me. I want to keep up with my favorites, but it becomes difficult to do that when the app is constantly having trouble loading or crashing. Edit: some of these problems have been resolved, but I have some other problems with the new update. The first is that the continue reading feature no longer shows me what comics I read most, only the things I have read most recently. This is not very helpful, especially when events are happening where I am reading a bunch of things I normally don’t and cannot remember the titles I usually like to read. The second is that the formatting is difficult to navigate and slightly overwhelming. There is very little variation in the shape and size of the elements, and as such no hierarchy of information and no way to break things up. The main section of events and things are confusing and obtrusive, and everything is scaled to be so large that it is frustrating to use. It’s also kind of boring. Overall, it *is* functional for the most part, but I don’t feel like the changes provide any benefits over the old format.

The app has so many amazing stories that you can’t find on other apps, but using the app is so frustrating sometimes. There are small, not so bad bugs, like the app sometimes randomly liking comments for you or not indicating that you already read a chapter if you read the downloaded chapter offline. And then there are issues that are really obnoxious, like not being able to download multiple chapters easily. If you want to download more than one episode, you need to tap an obnoxiously small and easy to misclick button on every single episode. And if you go to another app, or even another page inside the app, the download stalls and you need to force restart the app and redownload everything (which again, is painful). Not to mention the painfully slow download speeds even though the speed of other apps is perfectly fine. And then there are “bugs” that they probably put in on purpose. Like, if you are scrolling to the next page and your swipe goes even 1cm to the left or right instead of perfectly vertical, you will unlock the previous or next chapter if you have the “one tap” on or a WUF. Since they make the chapters cheaper with one tap, I’m guessing this is on purpose. And the annoying part is that these “bugs” have been around for the entire couple years I’ve used the app and none of them have been fixed. On a different note, if you like binging stories then you basically need to spend money since the free chapters only come once a day or once every couple hours and they only last a couple days. The prices also got silently increased a few times since I’ve used it. If it weren’t for their selection of stories then I would never use this app.

This app is a great way to support artists at a relatively affordable price which I’m grateful for (other apps like LezhinComics charge $30 for just one series). I wish there were more ways to get coins other than watching ads and referring friends. I know some other apps have more intricate ad rewards (like if you download x app and reach a certain level you get, say, 800 coins to buy comics with etc) and I’m hoping one day they might do that for us one day :) The comics I’ve read are high quality and they have a wide variety to choose from, and actually there’s a LOT of free ones, or ones that have the first few episodes for free so you can decide whether you want to jump into purchasing it or not. Anyways, the app works great functionally BUT I had one huge problem... The app keeps crashing :( Sometimes I’ll have the app opened for five minutes or less and it will crash, sometimes it won’t crash for 30 minutes straight but inevitably every time I have used the app it has crashed ;_; if not for that I would’ve given more stars but unfortunately it’s really damaging my enjoyment of the app because of its frequency....Hopefully this is something that can be fixed so I can change my review sooner rather than later and more people can properly enjoy everything tapas has to offer!!

Took some time for me to get used to the way tapas works coming from a webtoon user, it was way different like you have to either purchase or wait for it to be time to unlock the episode. I liked it at first but the wait was annoying for some I had to wait like 7 days but others it was just 24 hours, but it was worth it bc I was able to keep the episode unlocked forever, without having to use the ink, but eventually they took that down so now whenever we unlock the episode we only keep that episode for a certain amount of time, but at least the wait wasn’t for long it was only like 3 hours, I hated that bc I read so many stories I need to refresh my memory of what happened the previous episode so I would use the ink on the same episode again but eventually got used to that too, but what I didn’t like was how it didn’t show what episode I left off on so I lost track but they fixed that too so now it shows. Since I prefer the stories that have a 3 hour wait or a wait time, I don’t usually, unless it’s from an event, I use ink but I noticed how they took down the watch videos for ink, kind of disappointed by that, and now we can only invite friends for ink, or complete offers for ink

I used to really love this app and how it was unique from the other apps I use to read comics on, as not only was there a way to support creators but it was so easy to do so, if you yourself didn’t have money that you could easily spend on their ink bundles the app used to provide a second and third option for users to receive ink without having to pay money which was watching short formed ads and and taking surveys, when I was bored would use the options to watch ads and take the surveys for ink, but unfortunately with the new update that is no longer possible it has made me Very disappointed and it has discouraged me from wanting to use this app anymore as there is no longer anyway for me to, 1) Get ink easily without having to spend money(which a lot of us can’t easily do). 2) Without anyway to receive ink easily a lot of users can no longer easily support their favorite creators(which is really unfortunate considering inksgiving is this month). In conclusion, the new update is a horrible decision that the developers of this app has done, as no one asked for this and with them not listening to what we readers want it looks they will soon be losing a lot of readers.

I think the tapas design is good overall, and generally the app works really well, I just wish they would give a better approach towards featured comics. For instance, I also use WEBTOON, and have found their method a lot better, they make it so that the average joe can still read the comics, but those that want to pay, can still pay to get episodes in advance, which I personally believe is much better than forcing the obviously premium comics down everyone’s throat, Tapas should be a place for all readers and artists, not just those who can pay. There is however one thing that I’ve seen, which is an artist who is letting the comic be free until it’s complete, which encourages viewers to keep up with the comic, and doesn’t allow for anyone to feel left out. Another issue is the free ink system, not only does it limit how many comics I can read, it also segregates different groups. The way you can make the most ink is to take a survey, but those surveys aren’t marketed towards everybody, which marginalizes groups of people who just want to read another episode, or try out another comic. One last issue is the usage of wait for free, before it used to be a simple two days, or even one, but now it’s been moved up too a week, I understand this is so that the creator can stay ahead of the free readers, but they’re going to make us pay for the last few episodes anyways, so why not cut down the wait time to increase viewing. The system isn’t perfect, when it comes to the premium comics, but the app is still okay, I just hope they stop prioritizing making money over creating quality premium comics.

I have been using tapas for less than a year and was subscribed to ~100 series. I’d log on and read as many as I could in my free time pretty much daily until the most recent service update came out. There used to be a wait until free function that allowed you to unlock an episode every day until you reached the x most recent episodes - x varied from series to series. I would spend money to get ink to read finished seasons, finished series, stay up to date on my very favorites, and series on hiatus. However, now it is nearly impossible to to keep track of where I was in each series because wuf episodes only stay unlocked for 72 hours and the continue button does not pick up from where you were, it seems to pick up from the last unlocked episode. I was ecstatic to find Tapas because of the high quality stories and art and variety compared to any of the other apps, but the newest update has totally ruined my experience and I will be deleting my account as soon as I get home, since you can’t do it on the app. I’m sad to not get to finish the stories I was reading, but it’s way too difficult to try and continue where I left off. Very sad about this business decision. Seems like just another money grab rather than promoting a good experience for artists and readers.

Similar to other reviewers, I’m here to echo the sentiments of the overall user experience of Tapas going downhill. I have enjoyed a handful of really great stories, but since they’ve walked back a lot of the perks we once had, especially watching adds to earn ink, I’ve been reading elsewhere where possible. However I am so behind on some series I’m considering abandoning them completely. Watching an ad to open an episode has never been an option for anything I read, and Monday’s gift is great, but only allows me to read once a week (if I even get enough ink to unlock one episode of the several pay-only series I read, making for sloooow progress). To top it off, they’re pushing so many similar stories down readers throats with first-person I/My titles involving things like villainess/final boss/divorce or “I married”/ etc - which pop up every time I open the app and make me lose interest even faster. TLDR; It’s hard to read what I enjoy on Tapas due to the lack of accessibility, and for the comics I truly enjoy, Tapas has irritated me enough I’d rather read off app elsewhere & support the authors directly at this point. Two stars because there’s a handful of stories that make me stick around, but they’re really it.

Update: as you can see from the canned developer response, they’re not even reading this. It’s not a bug or a mistake. The tapas survey asks “are you male or female” and you can’t take surveys until you pick one. It’s designed specifically to exclude and discriminate against us. Screw you, tapas. Original: Despite having a massive queer audience, the company still others it’s queer customers. They’re currently queer baiting with their “Pride Collection”, while at the same time non-binary people aren’t even allowed to take surveys. I’ve sent so so so many messages to support about them partnering with transphobic or just ignorant companies in the past for their surveys, but usually just end up skipping through them until I find one that’s correct. Like, LEGALLY I am non-binary. It’s on my freaking driver’s license and birth certificate. Has been for YEARS. How in 2023 can you pretend that we don’t even EXIST???? How am I still having to defend my EXISTENCE to people??!? It’s exhausting! Now I find that ALL other surveys are locked behind tapas’ own binary-enforcing survey, meaning you can’t take ANY survey if you can’t answer it. I heavily regret all the cash and time I’ve spent getting ink. They want to take our money and then belittle us as people. Disgusting. Just go read on Webtoons. Happy Pride, y’all.

Of the various apps, Tapas had the best features for me. I enjoyed the comment section and the selection of stories. I also loved how they weren’t stingy with the wait until frees, until the new update that is. I was even willing to turn a blind eye when to the app glitching (freezing up, not loading, showing blank screens, being to sensitive when you use the ‘auto unlock’ feature when causes you to spend more than you originally anticipate). Now with ‘72 hr availability’, it’s no better than the rest of them! I’ve put money into this one and one other so I can support the creators and the app, which I appreciated. It *was* my #1. I prefer Webtoon’s model over this and I hate their daily unlock stories (as in, typically avoid like the plague). Good gravy. Now with Tapas using 72 hr availability, I like it a lot less. I’m even more irritated they rolled it out by changing the terms of service in a seemingly vague way first. I have a few stories I’ve been unlocking for ink, but I’m going to be less motivated to do so moving forward and will be spending a lot less time in the app. Will be spending less with Tapas moving forward and try to support other apps now.

So I have been using tapas for more than a year now- I’ve always used the same password and email for it, but the app logged me out and wouldn’t let me load any comics so I went to the App Store and it needed updating and I did update but the app still wouldn’t load so I deleted and app then reloaded it but it wouldn’t let me log into the app- so I waited a while then it finally let me log in but once I did all of the coins I spent money buying as well as the comics I I was reading were gone, they weren’t in the library anymore, I tried logging out and logging in again and again but nothing shows up, no history of purchases and no comics saved or bought. I spent money buying those coins and saving them abs now they are gone- I would like to know where they went/ just to be sure, I have used my google account to register on the app and I tried logging in with that same account and it didn’t work and when it finally did I showed that I had nothing in the account- no coins no nothing- I just used the app yesterday so I don’t understand what happened. I spent good money on those coins as well As buying the comics so it’s not fair that it’s all gone like that all of a sudden

Hello everyone, I know the creators will never read many don’t because there to lazy and as long as they get there money they don’t care, but before you get it just know that they have amazing stories but two problems, there are these type of coins called “ink”that you can earn and unlock stories you can buy them or read stories to get some, but my problem is that every time I earn them, I lose them the next day for no reason I don’t spend them on anything and there just gone and I guess it’s because there corrupted they don’t like it if you earn them in stories because it doesn’t benefit them at all so they take them away so you will buy them instead but once you buy them they disappear again so you keep buying and buying till they have all your money, ah, yes the next problem is that every time I do a event for like 25k ink I don’t get the ink that I earned and was told I would get for reading 300 pages of a story and I still do get anything it makes me upset that these amazing stories are being used by such a corrupted company, that’s all for my review thanks for staying till the end.

You’ll begin reading a webcomic you think is free, but there are no ads on the app, so you wonder if it’s all patron based. then you get a couple chapters in, you’re still not sure if you love it, not much of the plot has happened yet, just character intros and suddenly it wants you to pay to read the rest of the series. it says you can watch ads to get free coins but the ads are all 30seconds long and you only get 10 coins from it while most chapters are worth over 300 coins and whole series are over 20,000. you could just buy coins but THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! $20 for a webcomic I’m only mildly interested in? no thank you. I’ll spend my money on things I know i like. But now i’m afraid to use the app because, I don’t know if every webcomic I read and begin to like will eventually charge me and force me to commit or quit. I understand the need to pay the artists, I support my favorite creators on patreon when I can and I don’t use ad blocker. But I felt tricked, like it wasn’t advertised as being pay to read and now I’ve deleted the whole app because I’m too poor to support all of its artists on a whim. If you can afford to buy things just to see if you like it or not, please enjoy this app.

I’m not a fan of the new update. The one thing that elevated Tapas over other comic providers like TappyToons, Webcomics, PocketComics and WEBTOON was the fact that if you were patient enough certain comics you could earn for free up until the last 10-15 episodes which I was always happy to spend for once I was sure the comic was completed then I could sit and read the comic start to finish with no wait times. Now though it appears you can only unlock wait comics for 72 hrs which for a lot of these comics which still have 24hr to 7 day wait time for their next episode I’ll never be able to read those comics from start to finish without shelling out $30-$60 bucks depending on long they wind up being. I understand that you want to pay you creators but maybe introduce a publishing arm to publish hard copies of these comics and novels there is a market for them and if you pull in $10 per season per comic you still will come out on top especially for readers like myself who would enjoy having a hard copy in their homes and a digital copy for when they travel.

I am so tired of the adware. On both tapas and webtoon apps (I don't bother with other Webcomic apps like Lezhin honestly). Tapas ads will randomly open your browser including when you did not actually touch anything on your phone screen. Sometimes it will load an ad that starts a beeping and says scanning your phone? These things are sketch. It gives the impression they're not really doing quality control for the ads that they are approving, posting, and promoting. So it's time to delete these apps and read on browsers that offer adware protection to the consumer where these apps don't. That said, to be clear, there is a lot about tapas that I prefer over other webcomic sites - including webtoon (it has a mature site, less absurd restrictions ie in comments, and since webtoon stopped campaign, such as canvas Sundays, and only offers in for downloads of sketchy apps that do who knows what with your data and information top is definitely the better choice for getting "free" ink (bartering your/heritage foundations information for ink)).

The app freezes a lot, and has constant problems with glitches. Currently there is an issue with chapters loading with repeated frames. Most chapters are loading with the first frame repeated 3 times, and it's getting worse with some chapters having huge sections repeating multiple times, halfway through. Also the app is notorious for not providing the promised ink after reading the required number of episodes for a promotion. Finally, despite the fact that you can select your favorite genres for your profile, 90% of the comics feed is made up of series where the primary genre tag does not match my favorite genres. There is no way to filter OUT the genres you do not care for, so the feed is completely useless. The home page also does not allow you to exclude genres, so again you have to open each series to find out if it's one of the genres you don't like. Overall, I'm giving 3 stars because there is a lot of great content here, but 2 stars deducted for the terrible functionality and lack of user-friendly interface.

I’ve been using this app for a long time and it’s by far one of my favorites. There is a wide variety of comics and novels, some you have to pay for using ink, you can wait to read some for free, or you can read ones that are completely free to read. I love this, however, I have noticed that at least half of the comics that I was waiting to read for free have disappeared. I find this extremely frustrating because they were my favorites, and I have a hard time earning ink. The only way I can earn ink is by watching ads, but (this may just be my phone) I can only watch 10 out of the 30 ads per hour. If there is some sort of cap on how many “wait for free” comics you can read at a time, that was very poorly communicated if communicated at all. Other than those issues, I love this app. I would DEFINITELY recommend this app to anyone that is looking for an online comic app. I have no idea if others are having the same issue, but if there are please please please fix it. If the issue is addressed I will happily come back and give this app 5 stars. Thank you so much for your time!

The story on Tapas are good so far. I haven't had it for very long, but so far, the animation is beautiful, the stories are fun to read and can easily get you hooked. However, I'm not a fan of the coin system. I understand that the artist worked very hard and deserve a good pay for their work, however, I feel that the episodes are too short for 300 coins (if you decide on 1-tap pay, which already is 20% discounted). The other option is to pay the original coin price without the 20% off. More coins can be bought, however, if 1 episode is 300 coins, then you will easily, and fast, run out of coins and have to buy more. If you find other stories that you find interesting then it's easy to do the math and notice that you'll run out of money quick. Not to mention, it's a comic so the story will have many episodes. There are free episodes, but usually only 3 and another 1 free episode, but you'll have to wait 24 hours to receive a free episode and who wants to wait that long? I would recommend that Tapas have a monthly subscription like Mantra App does (LOVE LOVE that app by the way) instead of the coin base.

You get 200 coins to start. But unlocking a SINGLE EPISODE costs 225... and the episodes are generally pretty short. Then you have to do adds and promos to slowly gather coins or you pay a freakish amount of money to get more coins! This is ridiculous I'm sticking with webtoons...

I came here from Wattpad, as the author finished the book here. It'll cost me 27.99 for the ONE book.

I’m very close to deleting this app after 2 years. It has become extremely hard to track what you’ve already read vs. what you can read from the WUF episodes. - With the newest update, I can no longer track where I am in a story with “WUF” episodes because they lock again in a couple days. I’ve clicked on the same episode more than once, and most stories don’t even have episode titles so all I can go by is the tiny thumbnail with the episode number. - In the Library, the “wait until free” section became useless 2 or 3 updates ago. Almost all of of the stories I’m trying to keep up with say “read now,” so I have to actually click on the stories to see if a chapter is unlocked. Doesn't matter when a chapter is “up” because that doesn't mean a WUF chapter is always out. - With the newest update this becomes even worse, because when I now click on a story to see if I have any WUF epidoes, I end up clicking ones I already read and end up wasting my WUF for the day/week etc. How am I supposed to want to read anything anymore??

I’ve never felt the need to write a bad review before, but since the last update it’s been crashing whenever you open a page or whenever you even try to scroll down. it was great before. please fix whatever you broke, because the app is unusable as-is.

Let's see here what this lovely app has done for readers hmm. It's gotten rid of ways to get ink, increased the cost of ink for episodes, got rid of 3hrs wuf for new series, increased the cost for ink packages, made reading challenges impossible and unrealistic, put series on long hiatus and then forgot about those series, and doesn't even bother licensing the series that readers want in the first place. I’m sure there’s more but yea don’t waste your time and money.

Used to be my favourite app for reading comics. New update made the app crash after opening a comic for a few seconds. Please fix this issue.

Edit: I change my mind, please bring back the old design. It’s so much harder to find the books I want now. I no longer have an easy to find button for which genre I’m feeling like reading and I hate it. Please change it back I gotta say, I quite dislike the new layout of tapas. It might just take awhile to get used to but I still don’t like it as much as the older layout. I’m also getting tired of the price changes and will forever be upset about the WUF no longer being permanent. At least the still have some good books though.

I’ve been reading on tapas for over two years now and have consistently bought at $25 ink package once every month or two. At first the WUF episodes were permanent and then they made the available for 72 hours only. I was fine with that. Then they raised prices of each episode (by quite a bit) which I was also fine with seeing as how they gave us events where we could win ink. NOW they have made it impossible to earn ink on said events, have begun to change the WUF times from 3 hours to 24 hours and I am not longer okay with it. I will most likely be deleting this app is something doesn't change for the better and based on in app comments many faithful users will be doing the same. LISTEN TO YOUR USERS TAPAS OF LOOSE CUSTOMERS AND MONEY!!!

I don’t know what’s been going on with Tapas in the last year, but they have upped the cost of episodes several times, gotten rid of methods of gaining ink (coins) to watch free episodes, and reduced the one tap bundle discounts. If you are looking for a webcomic app, bypass this one. If I wasn’t invested in several ongoing serials on here, I would have deleted it already. There are other webcomic apps that are way cheaper than tapas and have a good stable of comics/novels.

Search for juniljus and see how they treat their artists. (Tapas is a subsidiary of Kakao and publishes Kakao's work in English market.)

Let’s be honest. The site is completely filled with generic anime/manga romance comics. It’s great that you can filter to just the genres you do want to see, but the site would be more functional if there were a way to find genuinely good stuff that’s been handpicked IMO.

Really disappointed by this update. Makes the app much harder to use and less enjoyable.

I can’t afford to buy ink so I would watch an ad or two to top up when I got some from reading events since the amount needed to unlock an episode is always more than I personally can get on the reading events, usually by like 50-75 ink. Watching ads is suddenly gone, tap joy is still there but I have never succeeded in getting tap joy to actually reward me even if I do exactly as it says. So I can’t earn ink anymore.

On my iPhone the means to earn ink by watching ads has disappeared mysteriously. Was this a bug in the update? Or did you intentionally drop that means of earning ink?

Prices have irrationally gone up Constantly pushing promos that require you to spend a lot to get little, not even enough for one chapter New appearance is overbearing and sole purpose is to promote spending rather than the content Notifications ignore your settings and spam you unless you disable them all at the app level I was happy with my experience till Tapas was acquired. These recent changes are for profit, not for users. It’s forcing us to look elsewhere.

Use to have the app that was before this it was the best manga app then they changed it to this and it became bad. What was easy and free to read and enjoy is now super expensive. Really wish they didn’t change the app and kept the old one it was so much better

The new update is really inconvenient and of the most greedy updates for this app. Even though it’s good that only wait 3 hours (or, in the case for some, an entire day) to unlock a new episode, it’s only available for 3 days. l’d rather have the WUF format from before, where I’d wait a day (and up to a week for some) to unlock an episode permanently. I like to binge all at once, and I can’t imagine waiting 3 hrs to read one episode. Also, this new update sucks even more because it makes me lose track of which episode I’ve been reading - since the episodes close after the 3-day period. This update is just so greedy, basically forcing you to pay for ink if you want to read properly. I did buy thousands of ink, but I’m not going to use all of it to read one story (since one episode is so expensive at 300 ink). Going to use another place to read instead :)

Like the app but it’s glitching after I downloaded some chapters

Webtoon is a much better app because you literally can’t read anything for free anymore on this app. You used to be able to get enough credits to read 1 free chapter a week but now the Monday fortune cookie doesn’t give you enough to unlock one. So unless you want to spend forever watching ads which don’t give you credits sometimes when they are supposed to or you want to pay a ton of money then don’t bother.

If you want to help me out and get free 500 ink to start you can use my code above (the last digit is the letter O not zero). To be completely honest, Webtoon is overall better. I find a lot of the stories on Tapas to be pretty tropey and a lot of the summaries sound very similar. The app also glitches a lot although it solves itself after opening and closing the app a few times. There also aren’t nearly as many free to read episodes as on Webtoon. That being said, it is much easier to get free ink than it is to get free coins on Webtoon as they offer you ink for completing surveys and watching ads. Overall it’s not the best app for reading webcomics but it still does have some that are worthwhile reads (hence why I still grudgingly use it). Check it out, see if there’s any stories that peak your interest, but personally I would check Webtoon out first (no I am not affiliated Webtoon, it’s just the other webcomic app that I have).

It is way to expensive and feels like a scam the entire time your trying to get ink by doing surveys, its not worth just google free manga sites instead

Use my code for free ink when signing up! This app is okay, I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it’s slightly better than tappytoon.

I’ve been using Tapas for a long time, and I think it’s a pretty great app. But after the latest updates it keeps crashing almost every time I open the app, and it’s kind of frustrating because all I wanna do is read. Please fix the issue.

Everytime I try to read the chapter freezes. I close the app and go back but as soon as I get to the spot I was at it freezes again. I can’t even get past the first chapter of a comic. PLEASE FIX THIS

The app keeps freezing and crashing every time I go to the next chapter. It’s really annoying, plz fix! Other than that the stories are great.

This darn app keeps crashing in the middle of darn episodes!! You guys better fix this it’s extremely hair-pulling.

Turn off your notifications for this app or be prepared to be spammed by 5 or more notifications everyday.

To read the comics you need to earn “inks”. I just spent 10 minutes on a quiz to earn enough inks to read only 2 chapters of a comic. At the end of it, I didn’t even get the inks because I didn’t answer enough questions correctly. What a load of bs.

It’s a pretty good app but the average ink rate and the games is pulverizing my sanity and the content error and no ink glitch…

The episode order on a series is wrong and I can’t find anywhere in the app to report it. Only place I can leave feedback is here Got a response to send an email to devs, but that is the exact issue I have with this app. I don’t want to have to go to a different app and write an e-mail. Too much trouble. No easy way to report anything.

Tapas has amazing stories, be it episodes are short but this platform has some of my favourite comics. Not too long ago you could watch ads to get ink to unlock episodes but now they have removed that function, only leaving sketchy second site game rewards.. that, half the time never give you the ink they promised or instead you’re doomed to fail by impossible tasks! Not only has it been harder to get ink but the episodes that used to be 225 ink? They’re now sitting around 400!!! I love their comics but this is just ridiculous and it’s sad to see something good go to waste.

Only 2 stars because they make it way to expensive to unlock chapters. Should either up the weekly amount of gifted ink or make it a daily check in thing to earn also chapters should not be more than 150 coins each makes reading experience not fun considering deleting app. Have used other apps for reading that are way more affordable and easier to earn coins

Months later since the release of IOS26/iPad26. There has been zero updates to fix UI bugs as a result of the new IOS. App remains functional but the lack of basic bug fixes is becoming increasingly annoying. Basic maintenance appears to be missing at Tapas compared to their competitors.
