Description
Finally a comic reader for iPad done right! ComicFlow was designed with one goal in mind: providing the best experience for comic fans with large collections.
Features:
- Polished interface
- Can handle very large comic collections (1,500+ comics and dozens of GB) without crashing or becoming unusable
- Imports new comics in the background
- Doesn't need to pre-process comic files before you can read them
- Supports .cbr, .cbz and pdf files
Importing Comics - iTunes with USB cable:
- Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes
- In the Applications section, select ComicFlow in the list at the bottom
- Drag and drop comic files into the Documents area
- If ComicFlow is already running, display the settings window (upper-right button) and tap on "Update Library"
Importing Comics - Web Server over WiFi (In-App purchase required for unlimited use):
- Make sure your iPad and computer are on the same WiFi network
- Launch ComicFlow
- Display the settings window (upper-right button) and set the Web Server setting to "Website" mode
- Open the provided URL in a web browser on your computer
- To upload comics as part of series, first create a folder then upload the comic files into it
Instead of a web browser, if you prefer to use a WebDAV client (e.g. Transmit or ForkLift for Mac or CyberDuck for Mac / Windows), set the Web Server setting to "WebDAV" mode and connect the client to the provided URL.
Deleting or changing a comic or series status:
- Tap and hold on a comic thumbnail or a series thumbnail
- Choose the appropriate option in the pop-up menu that appears
ComicFlow is also the first (and only?) open-source comic reader for iPad: get the full source from https://github.com/swisspol/ComicFlow under GPL v3 license.

Ratings and Reviews
Best Comic App
This app is freaking awesome. I only use it purely for reading my current comic books, so I don't utilise all the features it has.
One of the formats ( .cbr or .cbz ) it has trouble opening/recognising, but if you manually edit the file type on your computer to the compatible one, before you drag it over,(sorry, I can't remember which file type it likes) it opens fine within the app.
If you love reading comics digitally, this is easily the best decision you can make for all your reading needs.
Easy to use but just as good as acrobat reader
Easy to use. But it does nothing that Adobe Acrobat reader or Apple books cant.
Soooooo close
This comic app is almost perfect. Unlike any other readers, It is screaming fast for both PDF and cbr/cbz, and it has WebDAV support so transferring a huge collection across is a snap, including folders!
It's ui however is ugly, it forces a weird opacity overlay on groups/collections, the "new" labels are hideous, and worst of all, the comic covers themselves have some kind of transparent overlay with stretching cutting off some of the cover image from all sides.
Not sure why this "added gloss" was necessary but the option to turn all of it off would be perfect and put this miles ahead of other readers, visually.
I almost ended up using kindle with PDF copies of my comics, since it displays covers beautifully, but it lacks category/grouping so it quickly became unmanageable.
Love the app, but PLEASE allow us to see our comics like they haven't got some kind of grey Vaseline rubbed all over them :(
