Now worthless - dont upgrade!
Latest version crashes immediately after the splash screen.
Previous review:
This application has the following flaws, but it seems worth getting:
1. None of the manga I initally tried were licensed to view on it - well thats what it said. Anyway, I tried technical support and they directed me to a list of 5000 manga that theoretically could be read - but they couldnt. And then they could! And then they couldnt. And then they could. After a bunch of fiddling I feel that most of the messages about unlicensed content are really bad error handling that is hiding network issues that stops one from reading allowed content.
2. It spends way too long updating lists (of manga it wont let you see - see item 1). I think this is really related to networking issues - perhaps better error handling and messaging would make it less frustrating.
3. So now Ive used to read a bunch of manga. Once It is displaying, it seems to work ok, but there are occasional crashes and hangs, possibly related to communication issues or just plain bugs.
4. Although I had a rocky start with the product, it is working OK for me now. I feel theres a lot that needs to be done with error handling and messaging.
