It was bad enough that the release was 2 days late from schedule. Even worse the app is worse in every way compared to the OG BookWalker. Worse than that there is no downloading for offline reading. But NOW, I can't even log into my account. The Google sign-in authentication is not functioning, meaning I cannot access my account. What an absolute farce. M12 has dropped the ball with all goodwill from the customer base.

This app has come a long way since its disappointing release. My only real gripes, which are small mind you, are: 1- the app opens to the store first: I wish I could set it to open to the library first just so I can get to reading as quick as possible. 2- I can't exclude some series from the upcoming sequels section: I like to try out a lot of different things, and the result is there are a lot of sequels I'm not interested in and it clutters up the list. Good manga/light novel source.

As of Oct 2026 most of my issues have been resolved, but it baffles me how the app shipped without feature parity with the old one --- Having several hundred books on the service from a variety of series, the app is nigh unusable with the loss of the bookshelves. I've continued to go through my backlog using the old version of the app for the time being, and probably will stop using the service entirely if it's not usable by the time I can't access any unread material on the old app.
