## Review summary

Users praise the app for its large, frequently updated catalog, no ads, and generally organized, mobile-friendly access. However, recurring pain points include subscription/paywall friction (no in-app signup; backlog access via website), login verification problems, frequent bugs and stability issues, and reading UI flaws (missing back button, 2-page spread issues, text cutoffs). These recurring themes point to a strong content offering hampered by payment friction, account reliability, and inconsistent reading/navigation experiences.

### Pros

- Large and regularly updated catalog of novels and manga
- No ads in the app
- Well-organized UI that makes content easy to find
- Strong mobile access and keeping up-to-date with the latest JNC content

### Cons

- In-app subscription/purchase friction: no in-app subscription option and backlog content often behind paywalls; must use the website for subscribing
- Login and account verification issues: emails not arriving, login screen failures, and accounts unable to log in
- Frequent bugs and instability: crashes, updates causing issues, and loss of reading history
- Reading/navigation interface problems: missing back button, 2-page spreads not joined, text cut off, and single-page reading mode
