Contact Shonen Jump Manga Comics Support

The content of this app is great, but it’s lacking so many basic UI features that hold it back. For one, if you’re reading in landscape mode at the end of the chapter it force rotates back to portrait to hit the next chapter button. After hitting the next chapter button you have to physically rotat... Show more e back to portrait and then back to landscape to go back into reading it 2 pages at a time. Additionally, the next chapter button gets really annoying when you’re binging a series. Why can’t it just flow into the next chapter or auto go to the next chapter if you swipe while on the last page? It gets frustrating having to click the next chapter button especially on larger phones. Lastly, the 100 chapter limit for downloaded manga is fine, but it would be nice to have a “bulk delete” or an option to automatically remove a download after reading it. As is I have to click on each check mark and click confirm for every single chapter I want to remove to make room for new chapters. If those features aren’t available then maybe at least allowing the user to change the 7 day time period to be less time would be helpful as a sort of work around to bulk deleting downloaded manga. Additionally, the website allows for following manga but the app has no place to show which manga you follow. Why is that? Overall I think this app has potential and I will keep using it because the content is good. But the UX could be significantly better. Hence 3/5

If you love manga and want to support mangaka by reading officially, this app is great. It contains the best of shonen along with some other titles in Viz’s catalogue. The price is the best part as a subscription is pretty cheap. The flaws come down to the app itself. In ways it is very barebones. ... Show more Granted it runs smoothly and accomplishes the bare minimum but fails to go beyond that. One of my biggest issues is the fact that the app does not sync the chapters you are on or have already read across all your devices. Meaning if you started to read a series on your phone but wanted to continue on your tablet or laptop, it would only save on your phone even if you are logged into your account on all devices. In terms of the catalogue itself, some manga are restricted to the desktop version (the viz website). These being the more mature titles. It’s a strange decision and I would prefer every series be accessible through the app, and maybe just have an age verification if that’s the problem? That’s about it. It’s good value but don’t expect much from the interfaces and such. It really just is an app that is only slightly better than your run of the mill pirated manga app. (But official). Little changes have been made since the apps debut and I would like to see far more.

I want to start this off by saying I love the new subscription service. It’s nice that I can support the creators of some of my favorite manga series; however, the app lacks a couple of vital features.
The first feature missing is an indicator on where you left off in any given series. This is p... Show more ractically a must have in an app that contains multiple series with hundreds of chapters.
The second feature missing is a “favorites” or “following” section. The only thing keeping me from having to re-search for all of the manga I want to read is whether I have it purchased or downloaded, but what if I’m not able/don’t remember to get on within seven days and download another chapter? All of my downloads will be automatically removed, and I will instantly lose track of everything I was reading. This is also a big inconvenience for those who don’t want to download anything, as they will have to search for the manga they want to read each time they open the app.
Again, I love the fact that I can easily support creators for their hard work, but the features missing here are pretty much standard for other manga apps. In terms of organization, SJ’s only redeeming feature is it has a search bar...
