Manga Blitz is a powerful Manga reader and downloader for Android
Manga Blitz is a free application for Android that adds Manga reading and downloading capabilities to devices running at least Android 2.3.
The program is not available on Google Play but can be downloaded either from Amazon or directly from the developer website.
The ad-powered application taps into several popular Manga repositories on the Internet by default which you can search using built-in capabilities.
It supports plugins in addition to that which you can install to extend the functionality of the program and add new resources to it.
The default resources offer English Manga online but plugins are available to add Italian and French sources to the mix.
The three main modules of the application are library, search and downloads.
The library holds all Manga that you have added to it. Adding Manga does not add individual books or chapters to the application automatically.
The app supports two modes which you can use to read Manga. You may stream them directly to the device or download individual chapters.
Streaming saves storage space as you can read them while online. The main advantage of the download option is that you have them available on the device regardless of Internet availability or status of the resource it was downloaded from.
The library behaves different depending on that. If you have just added a Manga to it but not downloaded a chapter of it, it takes you to the chapter selection menu online that you can use to read them directly without downloading them first.
If you have downloaded at least one chapter, those downloaded chapters are displayed instead by the application.
The online search is powerful. You may enter a search term and get a list of results immediately, or filter by genre instead first to limit the number of results.
Each Manga is displayed with a thumbnail and title, and when you tap on one, a description and the list of available chapters.
While you do get ads on many pages of the application, ads are not displayed when you read Manga. You swipe to flip pages which works really well. Manga are usually displayed fullscreen on the device and pinch-zooming is supported to zoom in or out at any time.
Other features of interest that Manga Blitz supports are progress tracking and notifications when new chapters get released. There is also a low memory mode in the settings which you may want to enable to reduce the memory use of the app by removing some appearance-related features from the interface.
Closing Words
Manga Blitz is a powerful Manga reader and downloader for Android devices. It has a few small quirks and issues that you may encounter, for instance that the library shows only downloaded chapters and provides no apparent option to download others or access them online from the library.
All in all though it provides Manga enthusiasts with everything they need to read and manage collections.
Thanks for the tip Martin.
It is for these kinds of posts that I follow GHacks.
What’s up with the generic comment, are you a bot?
2G?
Where on the planet is that still in use? I was forced to give up using my RAZRV3 years ago because 2G was phased out by AT&T.
Everywhere 3G has been turned off and you don’t have LTE coverage, and believe me there are many developed countries where this is the case and if it weren’t for 2G you wouldn’t even be able to make a phone call.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t believe tha term “2G” is in the article. Perhaps you are referring to “AGM G2”??

Your website has gone insane.
When I the post button I then saw my comment posted on a different article page. When I opened this article again, it is here.

” Your website has gone insane. ”
Same here. Has happened several times.
@Tachy,
@Martin P.,
For over two weeks now,
I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

For the time being,
it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.
@tachy a lot of non-phone devices with a sim in them rely on 2G, at least here in europe.
Usually things reporting usage or errors/alarms on something remote that does not get day to day inspection in person. They are out there in vast numbers doing important work. Reliable, good range. The low datarate is no problem at all in those cases.
3G is gone or on its last legs everywhere, but this stuff still has too much use to cancel.
Anyhow, interesting that they would put that in. I can see the point if you suspect a hostile 2G environment (amateur eavesdroppers with laptop, ranging up to professional grade MITM fake towers while “strangely” not getting the stronger crypto voip 4G because it is being jammed, and back down to something as old ‘stingray’ devices fallen into the wrong hands).
But does this also mean that they have handled and rolled out a fix for that nasty 4G ‘pwn by broadcast’ problem you reported earlier this year? I had 4G disabled due to that, on the off chance that some of the local criminals would buy some cheap chinese gear, download a working exploit and probe every phone in range all over town in the hope of getting into phones of the police.
>”While most may never be attacked in stingrays, it is still recommended to disable 2G cellular connections, especially since it does not have any downsides.”
The downside would be losing connectivity. I spend a lot of time way out in the countryside where there’s often no service or almost none. My network allows 2G, and I need it sometimes. I have an option on the phone to disable 2G, I may do that when I’m in the city and I have good 5G connectivity, but not out in the country.
I would imagine that the stingray exploits, like most of the bad things in this world, are probably things you will run into in the crowded big cities.
I stopped using it in a mobile (Wi-Fi line) environment, so I’m almost ignorant of the actual situation,
But the recent reality in Japan makes me realize that “the infrastructure of the web is nothing more than a papier-mâché fiction”.

It is already beyond the scope of what an individual can do.
What we should be aware of is the reality that “governments and those in power want to control the world through the Web”, and efforts to counter (resist and prevent) such ambitions are necessary.
Why do you want people to disable the privacy features? Hmmmmm?
Now You: do you plan to keep the Ads privacy features enabled?
I’d like to tell you, but apparently if you make a post critical of Google, you get censored. * [Editor: removed, just try to bring your opinion across without attacking anyone]
@Martin
You website is still psychotic. Comments attach to random stories.
@Martin please do fix the comments, it’s completely insane commenting here! :[
@Martin
The comments are seriously messed up on gHacks now. These comments are mixed with the article at the below URL.
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/18/android-how-to-disable-2g-cellular-connections-to-improve-security/
And comments on other articles are from as far back as 2010.
What does this article has anything to do with all the comments on this article? LOL I think this Websuite is ran by ChatGPT. every article is messed up. Some older comments from 2015 shown up in recant articles, LOL
The picture captioned “Clearing the Android Auto’s cache might resolve the issue” is from Apple Carplay ;)
How about other things that matter:
Drop survival?
Screen toughness?
Degree of water and dust protection?
