Hi, I'm the developer of EhViewer( [github.com] https://github.com/seven332/EhViewer ), an unofficial E-Hentai Gallery Application for Android. Recently, I noticed the image load quota decrease for the Asia region. And I found the reason, the "Asia peak"( https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=212243 ). Someone blames unofficial apps, like EhViewer, for that( [www.south-plus.net] https://www.south-plus.net/read.php?tid=372867 ). The app analytics of EhViewer is optional, and it doesn't track how much pages the user download. Additionally, I found another unofficial E-Hentai Gallery Application published here, TachiyomiEH( https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=185421 ). Nobody comments like "Stop it. It does harm the website.".

Are unofficial apps legal? Or should the unofficial apps disable/restrict some features to avoid abuse? I will base my development plan on the official reply.

In general we allow anything that does not harm the site directly or indirectly.

^ pretty much that,

That said, the story about blaming unofficial (whatever that means) apps for the peak is really speculation. The only person who has the stats is Tenb, and he did not say anything about apps.

If you want to keep the thread a a thread about EhViewer that's fine too (in this case you may want to PM me so I can pin such a thread to the top of the session)
