Browse FAQ
Everything you need to know about browsing sources, discovering new titles, and organizing catalogs in Wammy.
How is the Browse tab organized?
The Browse tab contains 6 logically ordered sub-tabs to separate native content from external plugins:
- Manga Sources: Native built-in manga sources displayed in a quick-access grid followed by pinned and installed sources.
- Novel Sources: Native built-in light novel and web novel sources.
- Manga Extensions: Repository browser for external Mihon/Tachiyomi APK extensions.
- Novel Extensions: Repository browser for external LNReader JavaScript novel plugins.
- Manga Migration: Fast source-to-source migration tool for transferring manga series between sources.
- Novel Migration: Source-to-source migration tool for light novels.
What do the Star Ratings and View Counts on cards mean?
Wammy parses live metadata directly from supported source websites:
- Star Rating Pill: Shows the community score (e.g.
4.8) parsed from the source's catalog. - Eye Icon / View Count: Indicates the total view count (e.g.
1.2M,450K) recorded by the upstream platform.
These indicators appear directly on series cards across the Discover feed, Browse catalogs, search results, and your personal library.
How does Global Search work?
Tap the Travel Explore (globe) icon in the top toolbar of the Browse tab to open Global Search:
- Type a query to search across all your enabled built-in sources and installed extensions simultaneously.
- Results appear in real time with individual source cards, allowing you to compare translation groups, chapter counts, and cover art.
How do I pin favorite sources or create custom pin groups?
- Quick Pin: Tap the pin icon on any source row to pin it directly to the top of your sources list.
- Custom Pin Groups: Long-press any pinned source to create named groups (e.g. "Manhwa Only", "Translations", "Daily Reads") and organize your sources cleanly.
What does the "18+" toggle button in the top bar do?
Tapping the 18+ button in the top bar toggles the display of adult / mature content sources:
- When turned Off: Mature and 18+ sources are hidden from the catalog list and global search.
- When turned On: Adult sources become visible in the catalog for exploration.
- You can further customize mature content visibility in Settings > Browse > Show adult sources.
