Shonen Jump Manga & Comics App Reviews

I find this app amazing since where I live they dont have shounen jump and now I can have all the issues for only 0.99$ what an awesome deal!

Its good and all but, How do I delete this app I cant find this app anywhere and its stuck on my iPod!

Doesnt let me download an issue of monthly shounen jump I have already paid for. Keeps insisting I need to be connected to wi-fi even though "use cellular data" is enabled in the settings, and keeps refusing to "verify the certificate" of any wi-fi I try to connect to.

Never had a problem with it

Just subscribed to Weekly Shonen Jump and so far I am very pleased! Love the current series and Im excited each and every week. Also the app reader works well Im very impressed.

Needs landscape mode

Thanks

So, starting with the good: -The app has good quality images -Able to purchase back issues with iTunes -Saves your last spot in each issue, whether you delete it or not. Can download issues for later reading/ reading without WiFi. And the bad: -SPACE. The thing takes up a whopping 5 GB!! Thats almost half the space on my device-- and the reason I ultimately deleted the app. Every issue you download adds an extra .4 GB onto your space... -And thats it for the bad.

This app could use further testing. I find that even if I delete issues from the app, the memory space it is taking on my memory SSD wont go away :(

Its not the current issue like the app claims, its a week behind. Only giving it 3 stars because when you start downloading a issue even with good internet you need 20 mins to download that issue. You also cant do anything else. If you turn your phone off or use a different app it stops downloading and you have to start all over

I enjoy the awesome price for 5 issues a month. Pretty cool

Its awesome for shonenjump fans :)

Ive been subscribing digitally ever since the release became simultaneous and I subscribed to the physical US Jump for many years. This app has great image quality, translations, price, and subscriber exclusives. I wish more people subscribed legally rather than reading illegal scans online. This app right here is what is supporting the industry from overseas.

If i scroll up to the top of my manga list it just stays there and wont let me scroll down.

New version is broken. Pertaining to WSJ, Ive run in to this error numerous times since updating: "This manga volume is missing some pages. Delete this manga volume and download it again." If you exit out of the app anytime youre in an issue, when you return to the app, the issue is no longer readable, requiring you to delete and redownload it. Please fix this.

This is the English version of the famous Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, but it includes manga from Jump SQ and other magazines and online publishing as well. The dialogue, translation, and quality are altogether suburb compared to what you might find on scanlation sites. The magazine also includes Jump Backs (early chapters of older series) and Jump Starts (new chapters of brand-new series in Japan). There are also occasional one-shots and interviews with famous mangaka. Extra features include fan art sections or cosplay. The magazine is easly to work with and flip through the pages, and you can download multiple issues at a time. You can even put in a bookmark if you plan on returning to a specific spot. Readers can even rank series in a weekly survey like they would in Japan. New readers can test it out by downloading the free Starter Pack. People who only want to read Blue Exorcist and Seraph of the End can only buy the one issue per month, but the weekly series are really worth checking out. Subscription makes each issue much cheaper, especially for those subscribing or resubscribing during a special deal. The app is easy to use, and the manga quality looks great. The pages are clean and easy to zoom in on without worrying about the image quality becoming pixelated. Anyone new to the magazine can buy up to 3 months of back issues to get into the stories as well. This is a great choice for supporting legal manga. My main complaint is that not every Jump Start is chosen to continue in the magazine, which upsets people who become fans during those 3 chapters of a new series. It would be great if even more manga series were included, but they can only do so much with the budget restraints. Having more subscribers should increase the amount of content they can include each issue.

I had to go back and redownload all 3 years worth of my issues with this new update. 3.0 broke everything. 3.0.1 fixed the read issues, but the whole "pages are missing" bug is terrible! Be warned. Jump is still fantastic but the app issues should be solved for an online only magazine.

Everything is back to working status with the update as far as I can tell. 5 star review is restored as well.

This my favorite app to use on here. I look forward to this every Monday.
