A different kind of comic reader that offers a better way to read comics on a smaller screen.
How it works:
1. Import any comic into the app.
2. Double tap on a panel and watch the app automatically detect its boundaries and zoom in on it.
3. Tap on the side of the screen to easily move to the next panel. If needed, the app will rotate the comic to make maximum use of your screen space.
Key Features
============
Smart Reader:
- Automatically zoom in and move between panels for a smooth reading experience.
- Works with any comic, western or manga, no matter the art style. Panels do not need well-defined edges to be detected.
- Always stay in control, let the app guide you over the page while you can always manually zoom and pan.
Comic Collection:
- Import comics from anywhere and organize your comic collection.
- Comics are stored in iCloud to save storage space and keep your collection in sync across devices.
- Your Smart Comic Reader collection is a regular folder on your iCloud Drive that you can access and manage from any iCloud connected device, like a Mac, or a Windows device using iCloud for Windows.
- Also works locally if iCloud is disabled.
- Supports comics in CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR and PDF formats.
And many more features to come!

Very glad I took a chance on buying this. Works like a charm for reading manga on iPhone. It goes panel by panel rather than page by page so it’s even easier to read than a physical copy.
Lack basic features and crashes on large imports
Daschronos
For a paid app, it definitely is disappointing. It lacks some of the basic features relating to importing using OPDS or better ways to import and view your collection. Importing a large library will crash the app where the storage space will be used but the library will be empty. Clearly the devs did not test the app thoroughly. For what it's worth, I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I was trying to import 7GBs of data at once split in 50ish volumes. The smart zoom feature is nothing to write home about either, especially for comic books that will alternative between the layout of each block. You will need to flip your phone constantly and locking the screen orientation simply defeats the whole purpose. There are better apps out there, both paid and free options. I regret my purchase and would definitely not recommend for the time being. Not having the ability to try the app prior to purchase is pretty telling.
Great App with one flaw
Bertiniho
This app is phenomenal — its panel detection alone is worth the price of admission. Great library as well, with collections made super-easy and a great search function. Two things prevent it from being perfect; can’t adjust the cover size in grid view, and for some reason you can’t easily exit out of “panel view” to go back to the Gallery. You have to close it and open it again — at least on the Mac — not iOS. Fix those two things and it will be perfect.
