   Encouraging Infringement of Copyright

   We don’t allow apps that induce or encourage copyright infringement. Before you publish your app, look for ways your app may be encouraging copyright infringement and get legal advice if necessary.

   Trademark Infringement

   We don’t allow apps that infringe on others’ trademarks. A trademark is a word, symbol, or combination that identifies the source of a good or service. Once acquired, a trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to the trademark usage with respect to certain goods or services.

   Trademark infringement is an improper or unauthorized use of an identical or similar trademark in a way that is likely to cause confusion as to the source of that product. If your app uses another party’s trademarks in a way that is likely to cause confusion, your app may be suspended.

   Misleading Claims, e.g. "MangaTop - Best Manga Reader"

   We don’t allow apps that contain false or misleading information or claims, including in the description, title, icon, and screenshots. Here are some examples of common violations: Apps that misrepresent or do not accurately and clearly describe their functionality:

   • Developer or app names that misrepresent their current status or performance on Play. (E.g. “Editor’s Choice,” “Number 1 App,” “Top Paid”)...
   • Apps that are improperly categorized.

Is Wehi available for iOS/iPadOS?

There is no iOS or iPadOS version and neither are there plans for one. Porting is difficult due to the separate codebases of iOS and Android apps.

Any app proclaiming to be "Wehi for iOS" is not by us and should be treated as a scam.

Can I read light novels?

Wehi can't read light novels; it's an image parser, not a text parser.

Can I stream anime?

Wehi isn't designed for anime streaming.

Projects using the Wehi name for anime streaming aren't affiliated with the main project.

Can I use Wehi on desktop?

No, you can't.

Note

Wehi-dl is a manga downloader for Windows, Mac and Linux, but you can't read from it.

Can Wehi sync across devices?

Yes, the application supports synchronization between devices.

What do I do if I have to switch to a new phone?

Please follow these steps:

1. Backup your entire favourites and history from your old device and transfer it to your new phone.
2. Restore the backup.

Note

More information about backup and restore is listed here.

Can I restore my Tachiyomi backup to Wehi?

No, you can't. This is due to the difficulty in supporting and adapting the .proto.gz or .tachibk format that Tachiyomi uses. Also Wehi and Tachiyomi and its forks have different data structures that they use. For Neko for MangaDex users we recommend to use NeWehi.

Usage from project README

$ neWehi (input neko.tachibk) (optional output name)
