All these apps are illegal. Don’t review them. Manga isn’t free. The industry is losing billions.

All the apps you’ve reviewed in this article are illegal and none of it actually supports the manga industry. If you’re going to review manga apps, why not try some legal ones, like Crunchyroll’s manga app, or Viz Media’s Shonen Jump app?
