Slow downloads for Great Collection
Jonathan Oyama
I have mixed feelings about Yen's app. I love the collection of manga--I still think Yen's library has more variety than Viz. However, the app is incredibly slow. The load times slowed down ever since the upgrade to version 2.0. On top of this, the app cannot change its orientation. The layout looks ugly. Worst of all, each volume takes forever to download. I would have deleted this app if it didn't have Bamboo Blade, K-On and Fullmetal Alchemist in the library. I sincerely hope that the developers make some massive improvements in the near future.
Its AWSOME but...
Paradox AKA the MOB

Don't buy manga on this app..

When I first downloaded this app, it worked ok but it was very slow. When I purchased a volume of a manga, the app would not open back up. I even tried restarting my system and that did not work. So I had to delete the app and download it again just to open it, only to find out that the volume I just purchased was not available to read.. It's a shame because this app has a lot of good manga...
Unreliable and unworth it

First of all, all the manga cost the same as the physical copy, so just buy the physical. The app itself is entirely unreliable. It worked ok with problems a year ago, but it's only gotten worse since. Sometimes the app won't even open, so all those manga you paid full price for, never seeing a sale or getting a deal, just gone. Can't read them. The store has shrunk itself, visually I mean. It takes up a half the screen and that's it, I don't know why to get it to full screen again. It's only in upright position, it won't flip if you have your ipad in a keyboard. I haven't seen reliable updates ever. If you want manga on your devices, get viz, comixology, probably even kindle would be better. If you get anything Yen Press, get it physical. There's a great site called Amazon, free shipping, you'll pay the same, or less, and be able to access the books reliably.
Do not buy manga with this app!

The app takes a long time to load and crashes often. Manga volumes that I’ve purchased have disappeared, and when I try to download them again from the archive, I get a message telling me that it is unable to download because the server certificate is invalid. If you want to buy digital titles from Yen Press, buy them through the iBooks store instead, I may need to re-buy the issues that I can no longer download, which really ticks me off.
Love the app but

I love the app a lot but it crashes a lot and It has a lot of really good books would recommend this app and I wish they would update it and fix the crash problem.
Seriously?!?!

This app looks like it was designed for a flip phone. No categorization? Search? The content fills up about 1/4 of my screen. Horrible experience. With a name like Yen Press/Hachette - how the hell does your UI look this bad!?!? Bring your content up to 2015!!
