Contact Tappytoon Comics Novels Support

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. But the recent price hike (started a few weeks ago I believe) is outrageous. 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). 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. 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. The same holds true for the bigger bundles. You now have to pay $11 ($10 if it’s on sale) for 65 tokens, which gives you 21 episodes. Sounds great until you realize that a few weeks ago, you could’ve paid less ($10, not on sale) for 27 episodes. 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. 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. Thanks!

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).

But what has me OUTRAGEOUSLY ANNOYED the most is the Free to Read comics. 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).

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... which to be honest is almost not even worth the time as I have already forgotten what happened previously. Come on developers, before you add more comics and other little silly features, fix the “Read Now” function??

The biggest problem I have with Tappytoon is the sneaky way they change content on their app vs their website. 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. 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. I will no longer spend any more money on Tappytoons because of this until they fix this mess. When I pay for something, I expect to get all of what I’m paying for, not some watered down version. The Apple App Store may have restrictions on mature content but Tappytoon can do a lot better at being transparent and comping paying customers with full access to cut scenes for already-paid-for chapters from the app on their website. I’ve already thrown too much money at Tappytoon but no more. I’ll now be taking my money elsewhere to support the writers/artists on a different platform that won’t mislead/cheat their patrons, and more importantly, won’t change or censor the original work.
