Neon Ichiban 3.0 Restores In-App Comics Purchases After 12 Years
Neon Ichiban 3.0 brings in-app purchases back to digital comics on iOS, with an Android beta, months after the 2.5 release.
Neon Ichiban has rolled out Neon Ichiban 3.0, a new version of its digital comics app that reintroduces in-app purchases after a 12-year absence, according to screenrant.com.
In-app purchases are available for iOS, while an Android version is in beta. The update also allows users to consolidate their digital comics collection inside the app.
The release comes just months after Neon Ichiban 2.5.
In-app purchasing was removed from digital comics after Amazon acquired Comixology in 2014. Comixology had been founded in 2007 by Chip Mosher and David Steinberger. At an earlier point, Neon Ichiban had unveiled an upgrade, Neon Ichiban 2.0, which added the ability to import DRM-free comics acquired through Kickstarter and other outlets.
