Do you have more information you can share? Android version? App version? Trouble updating over 3G/4G or Wi-Fi? Any error or system messages?

This would depend on if the project page is formatted for use with the app, if I recall correctly. Sadly, this is the extent of my knowledge of how the app works with the wiki. You could also try adding the project manually.

Unless, or course, it's this specific project that isn't working while others are displayed happily, all the while it already has the correct formatting. Could you provide a little more detail?

can you teach me how to do it ? i tried redownloading the whole thing but it's only the main novels are working.
and to be more specific the novel name is Maruma,
and also I notice when I'm on the web I can see some titles that's not in the app list.
and also thank you for answering and I tried do some tinkering with setting button on the app but nothing happens.


off the topic and also can you please help me with the answering the questions for preventing automated submissions ? that part Hahaha it's making me crazy
thank you so much

It seems like the project has been formatted as it is intentionally. The main series, as you said, shows up just fine in the app; the extras are not. That project has had a lot of work done on it, so I would recommend talking to RedGlassesGirl about possibly adding those extras to the app (through formatting).

I don't understand your last question, though. Are you having trouble creating an account on the forums?

It's been a while since I was using the app but I don't remember the little bar at the bottom (or side in landscape view)

I'm using Google play version (1.1.46) on Sony Xperia M2 (android 4.4.4).
Is this the placeholder for ads or just a bug?

That is very much a bug. As far as I know, the app doesn't have ads, so it isn't a placeholder (which is a great guess).

I've never seen this myself, nor has anyone else reported it that I know of. I would try reinstalling the app and see if that helps. If I had to guess, I'd say it was an error in how the phone, with that Android version, was rendering the page. That said, I'd like to test it for science. Do you have any other Android devices? Which LN was this, and which chapter?

I made detailed report after your debugging suggestions. However if you still want to test exactly same chapter as on previous post then it's
High School DxD / Volume 16 - Daywalker of the Extracurricular Lesson / New Life.
on a side note I thought that phpbb now ships with phone support theme by default, no? :(

Yep, looks like it's your phone. The page renders properly on my Galaxy S6 (Android 7) and my tablet (Android 5.0.1).

EDIT: ah! I totally forgot about hidden system navigation buttons. That was going to be my next question . . . except now that It think about it, my tablet has that feature. I wonder if it's a bug with older versions of Android.

No idea. That would be part of the technical bits that are beyond me. :P

Ever since the site maintenance (around 19.11.17 or so) i've been getting a "Trust anchor for certification path not found" on most of the chapters and novel main pages in the app. I'm guessing links have expired, since server has been moved.

I would like all three of you to try this and report back, if you would be so kind.
  • Navigate to: Settings -> Update and Notification, and under Network, uncheck the box that says Load App Keystore.
  • Close and reopen the app.
  • Refresh the main page, and open any random novel. Let it load everything.
  • Navigate once again to Settings -> Update and Notification, under Network, and reenable (recheck) the box for Load App Keystore
  • Close and reopen the app.
  • Check any novel of choice
Everything should be working at this point. I've personally tested and use the app on my S8 (Android 7.0) and Lenovo tablet (Android 5.0.1), and it works perfectly.

P.S.: closing the app means closing it. When you tap the view button, swipe BakaReader EX off the screen.

I have tried it and when i disable the "load app keystore" it works as intended, but as soon as i reenable it the same error pops up and doesn't load the novel info.

The first part where I uncheck the box worked. When I rechecked the box it did the same thing as before. With it unchecked it downloaded the chapters properly.
