I literally never write reviews but this app is so good that I just had to write one. I started using this app on my iPhone and really liked it! The interface is really nice; it’s so simple and sleek. Then, I downloaded it to my iPad too AND that was when I was so amazed that it synced my reading progress from my phone including the time duration !! I was able to continue reading on another device smoothly. I love this app so much, it’s really a great comic reader.

Thank you 🥰
Solid app

Works really well and feels just like the iOS version. Comic book viewing is seamless. I’ve just been using the free version for now, which is already great, but the paid features do look tempting. Might give it a shot soon. Honestly, this might be the best comic reader for desktop, especially with how easily it syncs with iOS devices.

Thank you!
The Best Way To Comics Period!

I've been looking for a good way to view comics on the iPad but I got something better. Not only does this allow you to read and stream comics from your own OPDS server but it's also a good organizational tools for your collection. As someone with a huge collection spanning many iPads, this is the only method to consume it, organize it etc.It has a very easy to use and minimalist interface that is both prioritising both form and function.It's renderer are fast and offer a see less touch experience.In short, this is the best way to experience digital comics.
What’s New? screen always comes up

help i cant continue to the library because the whats new always pops up. If i click continue, it doesn’t do anything. Other than that, the app is very neat and easy to use! Thank you please help
Improvements
- Deleting a comic now also frees the temporary files Panels unpacked in order to read it.
- Those temporary files are now always cleaned up, including when the app is closed in the middle of a comic.
- General stability and memory fixes across the library, search and import screens.
Fixes
- Fixed being unable to move on to the next comic when your library is sorted by Last Read or Reading Progress. Opening a comic moved it to the end of its own folder, so swiping, tapping and the menu all had nowhere to go. Next Up on Reading Now was affected too.
- Fixed comics reopening on the wrong page. The single-page and double-page readers could stop tracking your position for the rest of a session, so closing the comic, rotating, opening the page selector or tapping to advance would jump back to an earlier page.
- Fixed the OneDrive importer getting stuck on a loading spinner when it could not list your files.
