Paper books are soo last year, but what about those fun to read mangas? Sure we can find them online, but were not connected to the internet 24/7. We can download them, but its such a hassle to put it in your iPad, and worse it wont be sorted by the tittle! Fear not, the Manga BDR is here; its purpose? to put manga reading literally on your finger tips! This app does not have its own manga website, which means you can obtain your favorite type of read at the comfort of your own favorite website. With an easy to use interface, great storage system and the ability to read it offline gives this app a thumbs up for those manga lovers.Interface:
The interface for this app is a bit unique. As usual the tutorials is always recommended, although the app is very easy to use, to download a new manga gets a bit tricky at first. When you open the app, there are only a few buttons up on the top of the screen and on the bottom of the screen.
The top of the screen:
- Menu; where you access your manga collection and download new mangas
- Slider; tracks your progress in your read
- Lock; to lock your screen orientation
The bottom button:
- Left and right arrow; to go to the next chapter or the previous chapter
To download a new manga to your collection, you can access your favorite website from the "menu" option. The window is a bit small, but once you successfully picked a manga, you can add the manga to your collection using the "+" button. Once it is saved you can access it through the reading tab, from here on out all manga chapters are downloaded and saved in your iPad. You can download by chapter or the whole manga at a time.
Note that chapters do not update by itself, so you have to update it manually. you can zoom in and out easy, and when the chapter end you have to go to the next or previous chapter with the arrows. Another footnote, to reset a chapter you have already read, you need to use the slider to move the pages back to page 1. Although mangas are downloaded and stored in you iPad, it will not eat you storage by a lot since the pages downloaded are not HD. The Good:
- Extensive collection of Manga
- Easy to read Manga
- Excellent sorting system
- Offline Mode
The Bad:
- Menu bar is too small
- No chapter tittle
- Eats up storage
NOTE: apologies for the bad pictures, I currently have limited access to my iPad
