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! If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to send them to: support@vandijk.dev. Comics in video and screenshots: “Pepper&Carrot”, David Revoy, CC-By “Plastic Man”, Quality Comics, Public Domain “Say Hello to Black Jack”, Shuho Sato

Very 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.

THE best comic reader on iOS

Smart Comic has everything I want out of a comic reader, auto-syncing through iCloud, iPhone and iPad versions, an easy way to read on iPhone, and an excellent interface design. The smart zoom on panels is fantastic; you can buzz through a page on iPhone. I can’t believe this is free, honestly.The app creator should seriously consider adding new functionality as a premium upgrade because they deserve some compensation for the time they put into this. Auto-sorting and pulling metadata from a comic database would be the only things I can think of to improve upon this one.

Brilliant! Guided reading works a charm!

The "guided reading" feature is great! I have been looking for an app to read my existing digital comics while on the treadmill. I have my iPad connected to a big screen tv and now I can do one of my favorite things (reading comics) while doing one of my least favorite things (treadmill). I even use Smart Comic Reader with IOS voice control to pan the comic panels with my voice - no touching! Just be careful. My wife recently heard me say, "Swipe left" over and over again for 45 minutes. She said it sounded like I was on Tinder.

Top 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.

Automatic panel detection and zooming is now available on Macs with Apple Silicon.
