This is a great app although the swipe feature can be a little diffcult. You need to swipe it just right. Also, the app needs updating. Last refresh was over two years ago.
Exactly what I wanted

This viewer is great for my needs. I’ve been using Simple Comic for a while, but I’ve had many issues with it so I set out to find something better.I don’t read manga, so all of the defaults in this app had to be tweaked. I had to adjust all of the key bindings to support "left to right" reading. Once that was done, everything worked as expected. I primarily read old magazines and western comics, both of which work great. The app also has good integration with Apple’s APIs, so touch pad gestures and compositing effects work well.The only think I would have liked is continuous vertical scrolling support, so I could just scroll down continuously instead of loading each page individually. That’s a minor gripe, overall the app is great and has no performance issues I can see.
Excellent

DrawnStrips Reader is the best comic/manga reader for Mac that I know of at the moment. I mainly read manga (American comics have kinda been going downhill lately -_-) and this app is PERFECT for it. It supports dual page reading (looks great on the 15” Retina display) and the default page movement is right to left, so I didn’t have to change any settings at all. It gets the job done and has a very polished, minimalistic feel to it. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a good comic/manga reader, it is well worth the 4 bucks.
So far so good on Capitan

Looks like I found a comic book reader. Works great and you have many options like export or change direction of comic.I tried to open a troublesome file (.rar), but it didn’t work. I also couldn’t open it in most of the other readers I have, but the other cbrs and cbz were fine.Nice professional feel. I’ll write more of a review once I use it more often.
DrawnStrips is ready for iOS/Vision OS 26.
