Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why did you remove the "Online" tab?
    - Recently, Apple became more strict ​with content in our app and they removed our app from sale because they thought most content in our app are "pornographic", "objectional", "violence" or anything that violate their guidelines. Because of that, we updated Manga Storm by removing all content from it and let you add content directly from the website by entering url of the title you want to add. This update was acceptable by Apple and they put our app back on sale again.
     
  • I can't add a title to Manga Storm, why?
    - It because you are adding url from unsupported web page. First, please make sure that the url is from a website supported by Manga Storm. You can see list of supported websites in the "List of Supported Websites" link at the bottom of the "Add Title" screen. After that, please make sure that the web page you are adding contains the chapter list of the title that you want to add.
     
  • one or more chapters can not be downloaded. What should I do?
    - Manga Storm retrieves content directly from the website. If there is something wrong with it, Manga Storm may be unable to retrieve content. To find out what's going on, please open the problematic chapter on Safari. You should see the problem there.
