Easy to buy a variety of different mangas, but UI could use some fixing
It’s a bit annoying with the constant crashes that occur when reading, I really hope it can be fixed soon, but otherwise a great app! I also think making the page stay on the present slide and making the swipe more faster would be a very great addition to the app.
United StatesRemoved language selection
I use Bookwalker for most of my manga and light novels but the "feature" where you have to either use the web browser or change your system language to access the Japanese store is frustrating. You used to be able to switch between them freely. It doesn't take long to switch your system language, and if you're reading Japanese books it's probably not too big of a deal to have it in Japanese permanently, but it's just an unnesseary step that makes the app slightly more hostile and gives benefit to any competition. For the developer responder, having to swtich system language or operate outside of the app to use the app is not a fix, it's a hack. Please fix the issue.
United StatesHas issues
I’m sorry but the app has issues, had to log in 4 times for it to work, I was getting some “bad request” error. And I know it was not an issue with the username/pass because I got the successful sign in notification email for each attempt.
United StatesDownloading and Reading is Tedious
Bookwalker is an amazing service to keep all my manga together. Building bookshelves is great. However, it is extremely troublesome to download new chapters and volumes to add to those bookshelves. Can’t download in the background. I have to keep the app open while it downloads and those downloads take an eternity. I would like it to auto-download content but there are no settings to control that function. If I haven’t downloaded a chapter or volume, then I have to wait for an unending loading bar that takes forever regardless of wifi or hotspot connection to read. The website is faster. Extremely faster. The swipe bar is ALWAYS present! ALWAYS. This is so abnoxious and frustrating. I would simply love it if I could queue up the downloads and not be restrained to the app, able to use my ipad as I please while they download. I would love it even more if the swipe bar went away when reading. I would love it even more if my bookshelves synced across devices. But without these things I feel bogged down trying to read what I bought and am discouraged from buying more because of how much it becomes a chore to manage.
United StatesCan’t access Japanese light novels
Very inaccessible for users who want to access Japanese light novels. There’s not even a language switch despite the other version being available. Please bring back this feature for those who want to access Japanese materials
United StatesConstantly resigning in
Every time I clicked to a new tab I would have to sign back in.
United StatesInconvenient to get Japanese Version
Before, you were able buy the Japanese version of mangas and books in the app, but now they’ve made it complex. If you want the Japanese version in the app, you will need to change your device language setting to Japanese. Otherwise, you will need to use a browser and go to the Japanese store for Bookwalker. I don’t know why they made it more inconvenient to purchase the Japanese version. Could it not just be a simple option in app to default to a certain version of the store? Previously, I would overlook the poor UI, slow load times, and crashes because this app allowed easy purchases of the Japanese versions, but now I would not recommend it. Until they bring back the ease of purchasing the Japanese version in app, I will just buy physical copies or look somewhere else. It’s strange how they would make it harder for people to buy their products… Some good things is that it has a large category of mangas/books to buy. They also give you previews (like the first couple of page) so you can get an idea if it will be something you’d like. I don’t really get the bookshelf part of the app because it is easier to just view your library and organize it by series, title, or author. Reading is easy, plus you can zoom (useful if there is small text or using smaller devices). Searching and bookmarking is simple too.
