(New) App Feedback
-
@Ninjamstr2 from what we've been told, the copyright page has to be in each prepub section for works from some JP publishers. Unsure if there's a better way to integrate them for dark mode though.
-
This reader’s library update is rough as other threads have well covered. Any eta on when it will be added to the app? I am just prompted to purchase or rent the books…
-
@Jyuichi It should work if you try to read the not free parts of a book that is apart of readers club, worked for me for Altina when I tested it. I would like to have the catchup filter changed over to the reading club filter and a search functionality would be nice. The app doesn't give any indication on which books are even apart of the readers club
-
@Nubz_Unite The app "should" have been updated as soon as they released Readers Library. There is no excuse for the lack of communication, nor the lack of app support.
-
Here's my feedback on the new app: it could not be worse and still function, I'm going to delete it and just read on the website even on my phone it's so terrible. Did anyone even review its actual use? Because I think a group of 10 year olds could come up with a whole bunch of problems that would be likely at a glance.
-
@Nubz_Unite you are correct, it seems to work now,maybe I was trying the wrong title or something updated
all other criticisms I agree, I can't see what is reader library from the app obviously which is ridiculous (and catchup is still there taunting us)
-
I have a feature suggestion :
Can you add the calendar as a tab or an option to be added as a tab in the app? I can check it easily within the app rather than jump to the site just to check the calendar. -
Please add check filters to series page to enable me to filter more than just following or defunct catchup titles.
Suggested filters:
Following
Completed
Manga
Novel
Women’s Lit
Women’s BL
English Originals.I basically never want to see BL or non-Japanese novels. if I wanted those I’d go to Amazon.
-
@sygish What is woman's lit? that is not a actual literary category.
It's just BL, not woman's BL (which would imply there is a man's BL).
would be nice if the app told you a series was BL, yuri, or 18+ instead of finding out after you start reading.I would love to exclude anything with explicit intimate scenes personally. I do not want to read that stuff.
-
@Aquantis I think maybe they might mean Woman's BL in that the story was specifically designed to cater towards female viewership as opposed to more general audiences? I'm not sure what exactly it's like in the novel space, but in the manga space, there's plenty of series that are categorized as BL that look to cater to more general audiances.
I would agree there needs to be something that lets you filter out by age ratings though. I'm surprised the suggested age rating isn't listed at a minimum in the series info on the app.
-
@Aquantis I just mean women’s smut stuff as opposed to shojo/romance fluff. Not interested in any BL and the only Yuri I ever consumed was Yuru Yuri anime so, not really lurid stuff.
-
Is this not what the imprints are? j-novel Heart is shoujo and Jnovel knight is BL?
-
@Jyuichi those don't show up in the app last I checked, nor does age restrictions.
-
@Jyuichi yep so filters by imprint would be nice. Instead they added a readers membership mode and removed the catchup filter. So the only filter is “favourited ⭐️” which was already there.

JNC App version 3.2 on iPadOS 26.1
The top right menu drop-down to access the forum and settings menu seems to be designed for mouse clicks. The previous version of the app will keep showing the drop down menu after the first tap. In this new version it will hide it automatically once the finger is lifted. It is quite tricky to tap the drop down and then the forum menu item quickly in order to access it.
-
Hi, not sure if this will be seen, but my app updated (version 3.3.0) about three days ago I wanted to ask if you put back the star (following) in the series tab. It was removed and I don't like not having a quick access to what I was following like before.
-
@agome1 scroll up. There's a toggle for that at the top, but it's in the content area and not the header bar now. And the page loads by default with it scrolled off the top.
-
@pcj wow I can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks!
-
@agome1 it wasn't exactly discoverable. The only reason I found it was because they listed off some new filter options in the release notes and I couldn't find them so I was looking around everywhere trying to find them.
-
Please have the app remember the "Follow Only" option. It's irritating having to turn on an option I have use almost all the time whenever I open the app.
If you want people to see newly added series, then just have the app tell us when a new series has been added.
