Great app Works perfectly well, uses no battery and makes reading visual novels very convenient. The only gripe I have with this is there seems to be only 10 save slots, which is very few. Most games, even ones that have no choices have typically 100 save slots. However this isn't a big problem because of the 'Skip to next choice' feature that allows you to get to the choice you want. But the app works flawlessly besides that, very helpful!
System requirements call for Mac OS 9.1 or later, including Mac OS X (it runs natively in Mac OS X, as a PowerPC binary). This story, 'Japanese 'visual novels' come to Mac' was originally.

Don't bother... It is just as annoying as its cousin 'VNDS Interpreter' with paid saving/loading (on software based on open source code! for shame!) but is also prone to crashing it's own video driver after ~20 minutes of continuous use and has issues with some how some VNs mark characters' names for dialogue, usually printing them on the outgoing line before replacing the name with what they are saying.
Hi, the app seems to work well enough but the sprites are often misplaced on the screen/offscreen completely (im playing Umineko). Is there a fix for this? Its pretty much the only thing holding me back from purchasing the full version..
some sprites are displaying incorrectly but I'm not sure if that's an issue with the app or the vn port I'm using. also spoken lines have a very obvious pause before being said
Works perfectly! Bought the paid version! Good job developer, you rock!!
Work in Android 7.x.x Great app. It is the only app that worked in newest android
Sorry but.... Sorry but it doesn't want me to play 😢ðŸ˜ðŸ˜“
I have to HAVE a novel already?! -_- .........
Works well: just one quibble This does a good job of presenting the converted stories, but it only remembers you've paid for the upgrade when you're connected to the Internet. It's kind of annoying to be unable to restore a save because you have no connection.
It's pretty great The only problem I've really had is that it crashes if you leave it in the background for too long. Since that forces you to save, you can't really switch apps ever unless you buy it. Not that I mind since I bought it, but still a little annoying.
Anti consumer DRM. DON'T BUY!!! I like the concept of this app. So much that it's the first app that I've gone and bought. Just to support the dev. Later I found out that you NEED to buy to load games. But whatever. It's a nice incentive. HOWEVER. You need to connect to the Internet to verify that you've bought the app. If you shut the app down completely and are on a metro where there's no Internet access, then you CAN'T load your save file. Utterly disappointed. Never paying for an app again.
I am stuck in an endless loop! I was enjoying the app, playing ever17, but now I am stuck in a loop. It keeps saying error choices disabled! I bought the full purchase. Is this supposed to happen?
Load option I thought when I read your reddit post that this was a supposed to be a free app, so I'm confused to see that there's no load option in this version just like vnds, and whenever I press the 'Buy full version' button the app just force closes.
Very nice interpreter. Had a problem with the sprite positions but dev was nice enough to fix it (and very quickly I must say!). I'm looking forward to this app!
Nice first step The app is nice. However, there're some bugs and features suggestions: screen rotation does not work (it's uncheckable) and it'll be nice if there's an option to fix the number of line of the textbox.
Amnesia Later Visual Novel Reader
The icon. The app us really good, but the icon is sort of weird. If you could possibly chage it, that would be amazing.
Good but.... Cannot read from external sd card in 5.1.1
Can you at least giv us link where to download VNDS?please
Visual Novels Online No Download
So far so good. Very smooth app. The only issue I've run into is the selection box in the beginning of fate/stay night was blank but that might be a conversion error unrelated to this app. Never mind! Works perfectly now!
So confused.. I thought there would be visual novels in there, but to store novels..? There were no novels when I installed!!
I don't see the point It doesn't offer any more than VNDS Interpreter, except that the transitions are smoother. Why do we need an application that does the exact same thing? Also, I can't find the converters you have created (this digital haze website doesn't even exist), so I can only use the old converters, created by anonl

Play any visual novel that has been converted to VNDS or originally written in VNDS on your android! I developed this as an alternative to VNDS Interpreter which no longer seems to be supported by its developer. It is compatible with the VNDS format and I also extended the script commands to provide additional functionality […]

Hirameki International is testing largely uncharted waters with Animamundi, a Japanese “visual novel” that’s now available in the United States and is, for the first time, available for the Macintosh. It’s part of Hirameki’s “AnimePlay PC” line, and it’s the first Mac-compatible titles from the company. Animamundi costs $39.99.
A gothic horror story aimed primarily at the female audience, according to the publisher, Animamundi’s story takes place in a fictional Eastern European country that’s home to vampires, alchemists, homunculi and the demon Mephistopheles. Count Georik Zaberisk is the story’s central figure — an aristocrat who must immerse himself in the forbidden dark arts to restore the health of his sister.
“Visual novels” aren’t adventure games in the traditional sense. Instead, they’re what the moniker describes — stories that unfold on the screen through a series of still images and occasional Japanese anime-style animation. They’ve been likened to “Choose Your Own Adventure” novels, as viewers can make decisions about how the story unfolds along the way.
Subtitled for English-speaking audiences, Animamundi includes the talents of major Japanese anime voice actors including stars from Fullmetal Alchemist, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Naruto, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fruits Basket and others.
System requirements call for Mac OS 9.1 or later, including Mac OS X (it runs natively in Mac OS X, as a PowerPC binary).
