  1. 4/5Great App!

    I will change this to 5-stars when I get a definitive answer to this question. Once I add the comics to this app, can I delete the file in the folder? I use an iPhone for this app and I cannot find any detailed information about this app or how to contact the developer. I want to free up some space and it seems I can free up about 15+ GB if I can delete the files in the folder once adding the comic books to the app. You might want to consider explaining that the files are being uploaded directly to the app, so people like me do not get confused as to whether or not I have to keep the files in the folder. I tested 1 comic I finished to see by deleting the file from my download folder, but the comic still works in this app. That is an important feature to explain in the overview for this app, and you may consider explaining that while in the app so people don’t save 15+ GB of files they don’t need to have… I have an iPhone and the storage is limited. Thank you. I love the app a lot and every thing works great!

  2. 5/5Hands down the best comic book reader for iOS

    This is exactly what I am looking for in a comic book reader. This app allows you to easily import CBR and CBZ files and allows you to edit metadata like series and issue right in the user interface. The sort features are perfect. And it performs exactly as expected. No loading screens, snappy UI, and has no issues managing a very large library or very large books within your library. Plus it’s free and has no ads. This would easily be worth $10. The only things that could make this app better are an option to disable screen rotation while the app is open and an option to have separate libraries (so I can separate manga from comics). The tag system is good but I want to group by series while having these tags separated. I also wish I could find a regular eReader that works as well as this app with all the same features. The closest thing so far is Yomu and there are some major bugs that make it difficult to use. Everything else either doesn’t let you import your own books easily, doesn’t let you properly sort by author while grouping books by series, or doesn’t let you edit metadata in the app.

  3. 2/5Not quite useful

    Have been looking for an alternative to the classic “Bookman Pro” which did *exactly* what I needed and nothing more. There are three important features that this one lacks. The thing is, Comics aren’t the only thing I want to read, I store books and manuals, and good luck finding them in this app out of some 1000 document images of the first page, many of which don’t have pictorial front covers. So the first lack is a list by document name. Second thing is organization- there’s more than one way to achieve this, Bookman had multiple bookshelves, so I could have one designed to select by pictorial front cover, and another shelf where I could pick from a list of document titles sorted alphabetically. And lastly, Bookman had an integrated browser you could use to download PDF files directly from the web. Or if not that, if at least there was an online import of some kind where I could use Safari to find a document and download it via some import ability directly into this app. Maybe it has all these features and I just can’t find them, the reader part of this program is fine, but selection, organization, and web integration seems weak.

  4. 4/5Great App (Feedback)

    Great app for viewing comic books you own already. It does something the iPhone should do natively but somehow doesn’t. Glad this solution exists. Really love how you can just push a button and it goes backward for manga or vice versa for wester comics. The thing that keeps it from being 5 star is it’s a bit hard to tell what is read and what is unread. I am on a 27 volume comic, and in the middle of it. Once you finish the comic, the progress wheel goes away. I wish it greyed out the comic, dimmed it, or put a check mark on it to show what I have read and what I haven’t. Sometimes I am clicking into and out of comics back and forth trying to figure out which one I’m on.

  5. 4/5Easy to use!

    Great app for reading .cbz files. It keeps track of your progress, and can switch directions if you go between manga and western works. I only have two criticisms at the moment: sometimes the page turn animation stutters a little, and I would like the option to view two pages side-by-side when in landscape mode on the iPad. The tablet is about the same size as an open Tankobon, and sometimes the panels flow better when you can see both pages
