User Reviews

User reviews largely describe BookWalker's new app as a downgrade from the previous version. The most frequent complaints are ad-heavy interruptions (persistent pop-ups and banners), the requirement for internet access even for purchased titles, and the loss of offline reading capability. Many users lament the removal of library organization features such as bookshelves, series sorting, and robust filtering, making navigation cumbersome. Account migrations report login and migration failures, sometimes losing purchases in the transition. A coin-based storefront replaces direct purchases, which many find confusing or frustrating. Overall, users want the old features back and a more stable experience.

It’s getting better, but since the separation from the japanese app there are was a mayor downgrade. The app no has a comics appeal instead of a manga appeal. We lost the bookshelfs and collections. The ongoing promotions are difficult to access. You unfavorite something and it’s still marked as favorite. Sometimes the sort by option does not work. Costs are higher and the discounts are less.

Haven’t read in a year and I come back to find ownership has separated from JP and there’s a new website and new app. I liked the simple UI of the old app. I miss the “read/unread” visual aid. And in place of the old “ xx% read” visual aid they put a small bar to give you an idea your progress but I like the exact number better than the bar. You can kind of create bookshelves like before but now they’re called “collections”. It’s not as visually appealing as the bookshelves because it just shows the books there in a row but I guess it works. I just miss how comfy the bookshelves felt. I’m still just starting to use the app and UI so I will come back and update this review as I continue to get familiar with it. I heard you can’t offline read anymore so I will be checking that next.
