User Reviews

Users praise BookWalker for a large catalog and strong organization (bookshelves) and for integrating both Japanese and global stores. However, many reviews cite stability and access problems on the new app: difficulty reaching the Japanese store, frequent crashes, slow/downloading in background, login/verification issues, and overall migration pains from the old app to the new interface. These issues—especially store access and performance—consistently reduce the user experience despite the platform’s strengths in catalog and library management.

Pros

Access to both Japanese and global BookWalker stores in one platform for reading and buying.
Customizable bookshelves and strong organization of manga, novels, and art books.
Large catalog with previews, plus easy search and bookmarking features.
Keeps your manga library together in a single service for easy access.
Correct display of purchased content (EPUB) and general compatibility with owned titles.

Cons

In-app access to the Japanese store is difficult or impractical; users must switch device language or use the web to reach the Japanese store.
Frequent crashes and instability when loading, reading, or expanding the library.
Downloads are slow and cannot run in the background, leading to long wait times and frustration.
Login/verification issues and sign-in loops hinder access to the library and purchases.
Migration-related dissatisfaction: the new app version removes convenient in-app access to the Japanese store and has a less user-friendly UI/UX compared to the old app.

I love this app but the new version it’s just the worst I don’t see the ideas of changing something that it’s working for trying new ideas that clearly nobody liked. Buying points and no having my manga organized it’s just the worst. Please give us back what we had.

I used to buy art books and other items from the Japanese store that were not available in the global store, and they transferred to this app without any problem. I was also able to buy from the global store, so all of that was amazing to me, and it became the best platform to read manga, novels, and art books from both the Japanese and global stores. But this unique feature is missing in the new app. All of my Japanese purchases are gone 🙁 and I there’s still no clear way to buy from Japanese store like before. PLEASE BRING BAK THIS APP !!!! I really miss it so much 😓
