5/5Best one I know
I’ve tried countless readers out there but none are as nice as SCR. Not only does it accept any format, but it also maintains your precise location without slowing anything down. Its actually my goto for important pdf documents that I want to maintain my place in. I’m studying for my life insurance license and need to be able to pause it like a video game. I can effortlessly pick up exactly where I left off and keep on going. If I want a break I can switch to a comic and relax. Thanks for a wonderful and simple to use reader. It works awesome on my ipad.

5/5Amazing - This is the one
This is by far the best comic reader I’ve come across. Well worth the money. Especially if you want to read comics on your phone, you won’t find anything better. It has automatic frame recognition and even has a feature that automatically resizes each frame to be as large as possible on your screen. I really like the option that automatically rotates your screen orientation to maximize each frame. Now I can simply rotate my phone and see each frame vividly. I can finally scroll through a few frames while waiting in line or whatever when I’m out. And I don’t need to lug around my heavy iPad anymore. It has cloud storage so I can pick up from where I left off reading on my iPad at home, read a few frames throughout the day, and return to my current progress when I get back home. Amazing. Thank you to the developers.

5/5Very happy with this reader
I needed an app to read my offline files in CBZ format but I noticed that the privacy policies of some of the ‘free’ apps out there permit them to share your PII and track what you read. This app claims to not share any data. I like that it can import files from iCloud or OneDrive, and it has worked flawlessly for me so far. It has a neat feature to zoom into the comic panels and can quickly swap left-to-right and vice-versa reading order. The panel zoom is not flawless but works 99% of the time. If i had a complaint it would be that the touch zones to move forward or backward across the pages are not perfect. There is a setting to choose between four options but none of them are exactly what i’d prefer. No matter - it still works well enough.

5/5Top Notch Comic Reader App
This is a fantastic comic reader app. For $2, it handles all my cbr, cbz, and even PDF files perfectly. I use it on my iPad, and the comics I read all look great and feel excellent in terms of the reading experience, as well as actually managing them. I have hundreds of comics, series, & PDFs spread among a dozen folders, all with nested subfolders and this app handles it great. My big problem with a lot of comic reader apps is that they cram themselves full of bespoke functionality and features that result in a worse app experience, often at higher prices. “We have all these features that 1 person might use 1 time, so why don’t we charge $10, $15 or more?” That’s not an issue here. It’s exactly what I wanted at a very low cost. Best $2 I’ve spent in a long time. If you want a way to read comics, books and PDFs that’s streamlined, user-friendly, and not exorbitantly expensive or feature-bloated—this is it.

4/5No page marking function
It’s been the best comic reader app by far. But I really really REALLY hope the next version will allow me to mark some of the pages that I’d read again and then screenshot them. I’ve updated many times, and I’d feel disappointed each time. Besides, is it possible for me to choose a new word in a panel and translate directly? Now I have to open up a dictionary app and input the word in the dictionary app, which is quite annoying and low efficient. I REALLY look forward to your reply, whether my advice will be taken or not. Best Regards.
