I will no longer spend any more money on Tappytoons because of this until they fix this mess. Why am I paying for only part of a product? Also, they won’t let you use your credits between the two platforms-your credits on the app do not carry over to their website AND you’re gonna have to pay again if you want an already-purchased chapter with all the extra scenes that Tappytoon has cut out, which I feel is a huge disservice and feels completely misleading.
Webtoon app review series#
You can only access mature cutscenes of a series on their website, but not the app, but this isn’t openly disclosed unless you dig around for it. The biggest problem I have with Tappytoon is the sneaky way they change content on their app vs their website. Also the only reason I give this a three is due to the new change to the price and the points. Don’t know if I will be able to keep this up and I have a good paying job. Tapas has a week thought out points system. Also like please look into if you plan to keep this point system. I think you need to rethink the distribution/cost plan. Also don’t like how my coins are only worth 100 point to transfer at least set it for like 150 or something. I was okay when you changed the price previously with the coins but with these points cost it’s a shame. Your point cost is too high for the amount you’re giving 6500 for 9.99. I am looking at how much you plan on charging per chapter and how much it’s going to cost to pay for points. Now I don’t know what will happen since this recent update. Now I don’t read most of my comics illegally and can help the artist and author which I love. Hey I want to start with I love this app!! It has a great and wide selection of comics that goes through legit channels. Come on developers, before you add more comics and other little silly features, fix the “Read Now” function? which to be honest is almost not even worth the time as I have already forgotten what happened previously.
Webtoon app review for free#
I understand I’m getting them for free but when the app says “”Time till free” is a portion of the Tappytoon service where you can read the next chapter for free, one chapter at a time, every 24hrs.” I shouldn’t have to wait a week and do some weird fancy trickery reset to get that one chapter. Like anyone else I wait for the 24hrs to be up and when it says “Read Now” it tells me I have to pay tokens or whatever for the next chapter even though it’s supposed to be free!! Now I know they can change it being free at any given time but they are STILL “free to read” comics, so what gives!?!? I have SORT OF figured out a way to fix it but it isn’t guaranteed and I have actually gone at least a minimum of 6 days for some comics (since the chapter you just read has a cool down of 48hrs). While the comics are cute and worth the read, i unfortunately can not spend a whole lot of money on tokens or tickets and stuff because the pricing is just too outrageous for the amount of content (some chapters are short and totally not worth the money).īut what has me OUTRAGEOUSLY ANNOYED the most is the Free to Read comics. I really hope that Tappytoon will revise their prices so that it is more reasonable for the average person, bc I would love to keep using their app in the future, but I’ll be taking a break from buying from Tappytoon for the foreseeable future, and will use the other apps instead. Basically, this is now the most expensive webtoon app (that I’m aware of), and I wanted to warn everyone who isn’t aware of it. Sounds great until you realize that a few weeks ago, you could’ve paid less ($10, not on sale) for 27 episodes.
You now have to pay $11 ($10 if it’s on sale) for 65 tokens, which gives you 21 episodes. The same holds true for the bigger bundles. But a few weeks ago, you could pay $2 for 16 tokens, giving you access to 5 episodes total, and saving you a dollar on the new price.
You’re paying about $1 for every episode - this is the most expensive payment option (compared to competitor apps) that I’ve seen so far. Currently you’ll pay about $3 for 11 tokens, which gives you access to only 3 episodes (assuming each webtoon is 3 tokens and not 4). But the recent price hike (started a few weeks ago I believe) is outrageous. This was one of my favorite apps, and I was happy to pay for access to translations that would go to support the original authors/artists as well as the translators themselves.
