Amazing app

It's amazing for reading comics👌🏻

MarioVsDomoSODMG ,

Panel view needs improvement.

I am a premium user of the app and I use the panel view mode. It works most of the time, but there are some pages where the app is unable to detect and crop the panels. If that gets fixed I will give 5 stars and a bigger tip.

Nayden Gochev ,

only premium has features

Most of the features even two column view is locked in premium as well as guided view. This is not clear from the description I cannot pay for something that might not work or might not even exist. This app is a scan and should be removed.

Developer Response ,

Hello Nayden. You got many things wrong. Panels is completely usable without Premium. You can switch between list and grid modes in the library and even show small covers (which will add more columns). All of these features and many more are completely free.
Some reading modes, like guided panel view, are Premium. Same for some importing modes, but you can still use icloud drive, itunes, airdrop, and many more.
Panels Premium is a 1 time payment and we allow you to try it for free for a few days. After that, you will be back to free automatically, so you have a few days of Premium to try it out and see if it works for you.
We are a team of only 2 developers and Panels is not a scam. We do offer tons of functionality for free, don’t show ads and do not force you to update to Premium at any time.
We would appreciate if you could reconsider your rating. All the best.
