What they complain about

- Ads interrupt your reading experience constantly.
Love the app
Love all the different genres. Can get a bit pricey but worth it.
Expensive!
400-something coins for a chapter. Webtoon is cheaper with the same quality of content.
So many fun stories
I have been reading on here fr quite some time. I love the variety of stories and adventures. Helps me unwind or get me to rest. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because occasionally the app glitches where I have to try and reload at times.
Below Average - Poor support
I ended up deleting this after only attempting to read through 2 webcomics due to extremely limited access without currency and when I attempted to get currency Offerwall that handles the “Ink” is terrible. I provided proof, I spent time with customer service etc. if customer service is poor for one of two ways to access a majority of content and that is poorly executed than I can’t see a way I can trust spending money on the platform. Especially when there are other options out there that function better. Example being subscribed items series.
Beh
It’s a pretty good app but the average ink rate and the games is pulverizing my sanity and the content error and no ink glitch…
Good
It’s really good
Never use
Hate this as its formatting for novels is atrocious in my opinion
SO FUN But some downsides
Really amazing app with lots of incredible stories similar to alot of other apps like this one it has its own currency, which is somewhat overpriced and annoying, but it’s still worth it and they have a thing where every day or so a new episode unlocks depending on the series which then you can access for 48 hours
Somewhat good to me
I love the comics but I have to play games to get ink to read more episodes but I just want to read the episode and not have to play games to get ink and each episode cost 405 or 420 and tapas give like wuf and 2 free episodes but they expire in 2 days but I love the comics but I have to play games to read more episodes no thanks
It’s ok
The ink system is annoying but the real issue is the WUF page. It doesn’t load properly. Incredibly frustrating to want to read and search through what’s available and it won’t even load. I’m more than ok with the waiting to read aspect. What bothers me is not being able to look through the available catalogue.
Love this app
Some many good book to read
No help
I have written to the tapas team multiple times about a problem and no one has reached out to me. It’s been almost two weeks now….
Lots of stories but Recent bug?
Very fun and addicting app. Only trouble is I’m having trouble opening it currently? I click on the app and it starts to load but then just exits. Hoping this does not continue for long.
Took my money
tried playing the games to earn ink, but the progression is a brutal, exhausting grind. Decided to just spend real money to read my books, but the app is completely broken. It regularly takes my money without delivering the ink. To make it worse, the transactions don't even show up properly on my statement right away. Don’t waste your time or your money on this buggy app. But still works to read if you have money to spare and aren’t too worried about getting taken or have boat loads of time.
Lack of settings
There are new updates and annoying functions such as the swipe and scroll problems: - Swiping left and right needs on/off switch It is easy to change episodes with an up or down swipe even in the SLIGHTEST direction to the left or right and prices have gone up
Great app
I love this app. It’s so easy to navigate, has great anime, no limits on favorites, and a huge variety to read from. Easily rivals WEBTOON.
Delete
THIS IS HORRENDOUS, damn near all the stories u need to pay and u guys have sooo many issues with the app wtf…
I like the app but I don't know where my ink is going
I love the app it's really good for what I want to read and stuff but sometimes I feel like it's stealing my ink because after I get some ink on Mondays I close the app after screen shotting how much I have and I don't use the ink but when I get back on the app my ink went down like I had 630 when I closed the app and now I have 380 ink and I know I didn't use any because I was at work or at other places to busy to open the app.
Ads are broken & haven't given rewards for days
Ads on Tapas to watch up to three eps have been broken for me for a few days. I click to look at the ad. Immediately, it has "Reward Granted" in the corner, but it quickly goes away and never comes back--even when the ad is finished playing. And if it doesn't go away immediately and I click on it, nothing happens. Other times after it goes away, the video freezes. It happens on both my iPad and my iPhone. I checked the App Store to see if there was an update--there was none. I've restarted my iPad. I've deleted the app and then reinstalled it. And I still have the same problem. And sometimes, it says that ads are available, but when I click on the "Watch AD for 1free Ep 0/3" I get a "Sorry. There are no ads available at this time." But if I close the app and try again, I'm able to click the "Watch AD," but I still can't claim the reward. Of course, the "Get" button still works and takes me to an external browser. Looked at the "Help" section for Tapas and couldn't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My inks keep disappointing without spending them
Whenever I get those inks, and I leave the app and save up, the next day it disappears. it happens all the time and it’s getting annoying. Please fix this, thank you.
Great
I love this app when I purchase an episode I could still ready with out buying again
Continuously scammed out of money
These offers for games suck. While for common web ones as long as you don’t spend money over half don’t work. But for game ones to be usefully you usually have to spend a little money but I keep being scammed out of it and not rewarded even if I report it. And almost every-time I’m not rewarded for a purchase one the offer gets deleted so they won’t even reward me either way even if I started the chat first and was waiting for a reply! It’s also donw this many times with normal game offers with leveling up I could finish multiple tasks and then be waiting half an hour to an hour for the reward after checking it was still valid first just for the offer to disappear all together when I get back on! It’s getting ridiculous at this point! I’ve wasted days of time and money on these offers expecting it to be cheaper than buying ink out right like I do sometimes! I would not suggest this app if your expecting offers to help you and your not ready to just spend out right on ink itself.
Way to improve
Overall I like this app and want to see it improve and grow the only thing I think is missing from this app is a way to buy comic and novel all in one and have them been permanently in your library if the comic or novel is taken done so people will still have it in their library!
AI in App Store updates??
Not signaling real support of their many artists when they use what appears to be AI in their marketing… :(
Can’t close the shop
When accidentally opening the shop it’s impossible to close it without exiting the app unless you purchase something. I’m pretty sure there are some issues with legality regarding this and frankly it’s a pathetic business practice. If they don’t fix it I’ll likely stop using the app. And this being from someone who regularly does purchase ink.
Manhwa
This is amazing, i like the taming bl manhwa mature version. The story and art is all bright and nice and the quality of the app is amazing.
Delist stuff I was reading
I was reading story and stepped away for a bit. When I came back the story I was reading was delisted. After searching around, found that apparently it was finished then delisted. So unless you like reading things and not knowing the ending. I’d try somewhere else.
Good but…
Great app to read, lots of variation of topics to read about, love the WUF (Wait Until Free) feature. Would recommend. However, the most recent game I played for earning ink didn’t give me anything, even after reaching out to customer support through Offerwall. I showed my transaction history, and all they kept saying was close and reopen the app…which didn’t work. Last time this happened they were able to give me the ink I earned, this time they didn’t. It is twice now out of 6ish games I have played, which is a bit disappointing.
It’s pretty average
To start off, I do like the stories and translations are good, although sometimes the SFX are kind of silly. But my biggest issue is my reading list just randomly disappears. Like I started a new story, I’m 8 or so chapters in, and when I come back to app I have to scroll down to “continue reading” and literally half the time what I started isn’t there, so I lose out on continuing stuff! Tbh, that is most annoying part - not sure if it’s a user issue or whatever, but I’m just sticking to reading on browser now because I keep losing my stuff on app. Also UI is clunky and bloated. Keep “continue reading” at top, I know you have to push recs - but then at least don’t lose my stuff. Bye app.
Love but…
I love this app and it’s stories but having to buy inks gets to be a little much. Of course I want to support the artists and writers, but I would just prefer to have some sort of subscription service.
i LOVE tapas!
i LOVE it so much. i've tried some others, & meh. i even prefer taps over webtoon, but i understand if you're poor. bc i still am, but lol i couldn't NOT have tapas anymore, so i figured it out. that's how much i love it, i figured out how to pay for it! lol
Money grab
Poor customer experience and terrible pricing structure.
Bonus ink issue
I love this app and the fact I can either pay or ink or do activities or task to earn ink but as of lately every time I complete a task I’m not receiving anything from any task I complete just find it very weird and disappointing.
Expensive
Tapas has amazing stories, be it episodes are short but this platform has some of my favourite comics. Not too long ago you could watch ads to get ink to unlock episodes but now they have removed that function, only leaving sketchy second site game rewards.. that, half the time never give you the ink they promised or instead you’re doomed to fail by impossible tasks! Not only has it been harder to get ink but the episodes that used to be 225 ink? They’re now sitting around 400!!! I love their comics but this is just ridiculous and it’s sad to see something good go to waste.
where's my ink??
umm so every monday i can her up to like 1000 ink or something and i always check how much i have before i claim the ink and i don't get anything even though it says i earned ink
Best comic and reading app
Tapas always has comics and novels readily available and even allow you to get some chapter free
Pop-ups while reading
Pop-up ads in the middle of reading chapters I paid for!! Ludicrous.
Not good but not bad.
I love all the books but why… why is the ink now 400?!?!!? Low it now!!!!!!
Rape centered ads
Have reported an ad shown to me on this app more than 4 times because of its violent nonconsensual content and yet I’m still being shown this ad over and over. I attempted to contact tapas to ask them why they haven’t removed and the contact link has been disabled. This is more suspicious to me than the fact they keep showing rape ads and not removing them when they’re reported.
ZZZX261E
Use my code to get 200 free inks to unlock new chapters!! Sometimes they get a lil pricey so this will help <3
Amazing app
The app is amazing but it keeps saying that all the games are no longer available and I was wondering if it is happening to other people as well
I’m actually shocked
I like to binge read. I have multiple subscriptions for multiple apps. Some seem like I’m ripping them off, some seem like I’m getting ripped off, but I’ve never seen this before. I started reading a rather long one with 600+ chapters. The free chapters were plenty to get me hooked but when I decided to purchase the ink to read the rest, I discovered it was going to cost me nearly $200!! I can understand this is a fairly long read (even though the chapters were short compared to others) but this is ridiculous. There doesn’t seem to be any other method to purchase either, which wouldn’t matter anyways because I shouldn’t have to hunt for ways to give you money. I guess I won’t be finishing this story or using this app again.
Ads
I love this app, I use it so much. But whenever I go to watch an ad my app plays the same add 10 times in a row or more, and counts it as one add, so instead of 30 seconds of ads i get a minute 30 of ad. It’s really annoying. I don’t know if this is only my app, or if it’s happening to anyone else. But I really want it to be fixed. But the ads are an issue.
.
Only 2 stars because they make it way to expensive to unlock chapters. Should either up the weekly amount of gifted ink or make it a daily check in thing to earn also chapters should not be more than 150 coins each makes reading experience not fun considering deleting app. Have used other apps for reading that are way more affordable and easier to earn coins
It’s good if you’re patient
I feel that tapas is amazing an reading app. I really like how you can get ink from events and from visiting websites, or to go listening to Podcasts, maybe even a quiz.The only thing I don’t like about this arrangement is that I might spend about 30 minutes of my time for one podcast for only 28 ink that can’t even get me one episode or a half episode. I would like it if they raise their prices for the time they’re doing. I was also like if there were more options. More or so of the ink which you can get is like shopping or a subscription something that costs money. I am not buying ink because I cannot use money. so I would rather have more free options. But other than what I have described I feel like this is a really good app to read on with a bunch of different selections. Also, great art in the comics.
Love the app
I love the app and its big library and the fact it has the comics and the novels as well, my only problem with tapas is i wish it had a membership option for the ink like you spend a certain amount a month and you get a certain amount of ink would be a cool add on instead of having to constantly keep buying ink
The Comments Ruin It
Edit: Tapas! Either take reports of malicious commenters more seriously or give us an easy way to block them on the app! Smarter people than I am have discussed the trolls/malicious comments on this platform on reddit, NU, and another webcomic app. Manta did it. Tappytoon did it. Webtoon patrols their comments religiously. You’re losing users over this. The titles that Tapas contracts are usually pretty good, but they can mostly be found on other platforms that do a better job of moderating comments. It’s 2026. I shouldn’t still have to read a comments about assault on minors by users whose names reference child pornographer on a romance fantasy comic. Tapas lacks moderators to actually curate the comments they allow on this platform which results in an extremely negative, vile comments section on comics that have nothing to do with material like that. If you just want to read comics and you’re happy to pay per chapter for the pleasure, there are so many other platforms. I can’t think of a single title on Tapas you can’t find elsewhere, and every last one of them moderates comments better than this one. And since Tapas doesn’t give users a way to easily report heinous content or to silence comments altogether, it’s really open season for trolls and groomers. Average readers are powerless to deal with them and it really ruins the experience. If you just want to read, there are way better options—at better prices, too.
Get rid of the VPN blocker pop-up please⚠️
After a recent update, every time I open the app, the screen is greyed out with a message that VPN isn’t allowed with Tapjoy — but I’m opening Tapas to read comics, not use the Tapjoy advertising platform. It’s super annoying to have to close that out every time. The VPN message should only pop up when someone goes to use the Tapjoy part of the app to watch ads for free ink, otherwise please stop nagging readers to disable a security feature on our devices.
At least $20 to unlock a complete story.
For a complete series of 62 episodes it costs $20 to unlock it completely…I wish they’d bring back the ads, the free ink only lasts a day to a few days and usually is not enough for one episode. The stories are great but would cost a hundreds to unlock all the ones I like.
New design
Edit: I change my mind, please bring back the old design. It’s so much harder to find the books I want now. I no longer have an easy to find button for which genre I’m feeling like reading and I hate it. Please change it back I gotta say, I quite dislike the new layout of tapas. It might just take awhile to get used to but I still don’t like it as much as the older layout. I’m also getting tired of the price changes and will forever be upset about the WUF no longer being permanent. At least the still have some good books though.
