Review summary

Tachimanga on iOS is praised as a feature-rich, highly customizable manga reader with a smooth reading experience and strong offline support. Top positives include deep features, ongoing updates, and a fair one-time purchase monetization plus MAL tracking. Recurrent downsides are Cloudflare loading issues and bypass failures, occasional failures with third-party sources/extensions, and update-related instability. A minority feel some features are gated behind a subscription. Despite the cons, many reviewers rate it highly for reading manga and staying updated.

Pros

Feature-rich app with deep customization (global search, distributor migration, customizable tabs/categories).
Excellent reading experience with minimal ads and smooth performance.
Active development with regular updates and a fair monetization model (low-cost one-time pro purchase; optional lifetime no-ads).
Strong offline support and downloads for reading offline.
MAL tracking integration adds value for series tracking.

Cons

Frequent Cloudflare-related loading issues and failed bypasses, slowing or blocking reads.
Some third-party sources/extensions (e.g., Mangadex extension) can fail to load or update.
Occasional breakage after updates, requiring fixes to restore functionality.
A subset of users feel the app is unusable without subscribing or paying for features.

2026-07-16	va*****	Looked on up a tutorial on YT, got all my favorite comics, manga, and manhwa easily. It saves and syncs with other apple devices and with an account. Used it for months with minimal ads (1 per blue moon) and then brought premium for life when it was on sale for $20. Genuinely the best app ever, great customization, and frequent monthly updates ❤️‍🩹

2026-07-14	Zz*****	Allows me to have everything in one place, you can download chapters and it’s so easy to find new manhwas or comics. I literally don’t know what I would do without this app

2026-07-11	Wh*****	I downloaded this app after a friend recommended it for offline reading (helpful during travel). It’s a great option for finding manga (etc.) for a “Read List,” but I’ve noticed that while some series I read are already complete or have more episodes out elsewhere, Tachimanga won’t have the full series or all episodes available. There is a Premium option, so that may be why. A little inconvenient though. Secondly, I understand that advertisements can help pay the developers, but beware that the ads displayed are not always appropriate. Especially the AI adds (Always a young woman and an older man making out. To everyone developing AI and advertising it: STOP USING WOMEN’S BODIES and INAPPROPRIATE SUBJECTS TO ADVERTISE.) If considering this app for preteen/teen use, I would highly suggest you find some other application to use. Finally, while performing some “phone cleansing,” I’ve noticed that there is always a Tachimanga in my Files app that I DID NOT download or APPROVE. It usually contains a few folders titled, for instance, “left to right, right to left,” or “top to bottom.” These contain zip files. When clicked, the zip files contain random photos (scenery, city alleyways, couple enjoying a view, cat leaping off some ledge, Labubus, etc.). I’ve seen nothing inappropriate in the file, but I don’t appreciate Tachimanga downloading things onto my phone without my awareness. It’s a security breach, and I screenshot and track as I continue deleting its downloads (the file reappeared after I initially deleted it). So, (1) more exploratory than fully functional; (2) unfiltered ads; (3) suspicious activity. Download at your own risk, I guess.

2026-07-07	xe*****	ever since i discovered this app ive been using it almost daily, the reader is great, the features are well implemented, its not laggy, it works fine, and that’s excellent ! and every now and then they drop an update to make it even better, the fact its still getting worked on is great and also the community discord was helpful, anyway long story short i recommend this app, ps : i think the 10$ fee for the yearly subscription is a good price for all what u get, keep up the good work
