About this app

The BakaReader EX is a new project for reading Light Novels translations from the Baka-Tsuki.org website.
Enabling you to download the Novel content and read it offline, while also providing other features:

- Keeping track of your favorites/wishlist;
- Bookmark feature for multiple novels;
- Get back to reading your last viewed novel with the click of a button;
- Check the teaser list for a preview of what's to come;
- Download entire novels, or only the parts you want.

Having problems? After recovering a backup, some novels might not display context properly, or after an update.
Just re-download the novel's information (go to the novel list, long touch on the novel and download novel info)
For chapters not displaying correctly, attempt to re-download the chapter (long click on the chapter > download).

Regarding other languages: Added alt. language parser for Indonesian, Polish, and French, visit baka tsuki forum for other language.

It was a great app. The problem is it is linked to the site so you gotta be careful. Almost all of the novels translated have been dropped for some reasons, a few others would be stalled, so there is no updates for those novels. I don't recommend anyone to download this app. It has been almost 6-7 months since the last update for the app. It used to be a great site to read light novels from but now there is nothing to see. Almost all of the good LN's have been dropped or abandoned.

I like it. I really wanted to read Light novels and I thank BakaReader EX for the experience. They gave it to us for free! They also give us the opportunity to download it and read it offline. You don't longer have to worry that your Mama might power off the wifi or you don't have any data if you're want to read it outside your home. It's very convinient.

Its good once you find out how to actually use the app. There were no instructions whatsoever on how to find novels. Opened the app for the first time to see blank pages so i had to actually google how to use the app since there are no instructions in the app itself nor in the description of the app in the app store. But after that everything worked fine. Just wished there were more novels.
