As you're getting started on Tapas, there are some common terms that are handy for you to know:
| Bonus Coins |
Bonus Coins are expiring coins that may only be used to unlock episodes. Bonus coins may be delivered via the Inbox as part of special promotions, or received as rewards for certain activities like inviting friends to sign up using your Friend Code. Bonus coins are automatically added to the coin balance when they're received, and any unused bonus coins disappear on the expiration date. |
|
Coins |
Coins are the in-app currency of Tapas, used to unlock episodes and tip creators. Coins can be purchased in the Coin Shop, or earned by watching video ads or completing other offers in the Free Coins section. |
|
Coin Shop |
The Coin Shop is where Tapas coins may be purchased, via Google Play or Apple iTunes in-app purchase. Coins can also be earned for free in the coin shop, by watching video ads (subject to availability). The Coin Shop can be found by tapping "Get Coins" on the main menu in the app, or by tapping the coin balance when on the screens for tipping or unlocking episodes. |
|
Creator |
Artists, authors, and publishers with series on Tapas are collectively referred to as "creators." |
|
Daily Snack |
The Daily Snack is a curated list of recommended episodes to discover and read each day. |
|
Episode |
An episode is a bite-sized portion of story you can consume in 5 to 10 minutes. Episodes can be a single comic strip or page, a few pages of a written story, or a mini-chapter.A collection of episodes makes up a series. Episodes may be free or locked. Locked episodes require coins to open and read. |
|
Inbox |
The Daily Snack, promotional messages, bonus coins, and free episodes are sent to the Tapas Inbox. |
|
Invite Code |
Everyone logged in to Tapas has a unique Invite Code, which may be shared when inviting others to join. When someone signs up for an account on a new device in the Android or iOS app, they can enter someone else's Invite Code and both people will earn bonus coins. The Invite Code can be found by tapping "Free Coins" on the main menu in the app. |
|
Library |
Bookmarked series are added to the library, a personal list of titles saved for reading later. Adding a title to the library also subscribes to updates notifications for that series, which are sent whenever new episodes are added. |
|
Series |
A series is a collection of episodes, in either comic or written format. |
|
Tips / Tipping |
Readers can tip creators with coins, to reward and support them for their hard work. Currently, creators need to opt-in to the tipping program to enable the feature. |
|
Wait or Pay |
"Wait or Pay" series feature a timer, that may be used to unlock some episodes for free instead instead of using coins.
Wait or Pay series are distinguished by a small clock icon on the top left of the cover thumbnail. Some episodes are ineligible to be unlocked using the Wait or Pay timer, and the Wait or Pay option may be removed from series at any time. |
