Seamlessly integrated with iCloud Drive, books in the iCloud Drive/Booklover folder automatically appear in the app’s library and can be downloaded on demand.
In the library, you can organize books by genres and arrange them using various bibliographic details such as title, author, publisher, and more.
With the search field and powerful Library Navigator, you can quickly locate a book among thousands in your collection.
Customize your reading experience with settings for each book, including page layout, transition axis and style, cropping, filters, progress direction, background, and more.

Fixes

Ratings and Reviews
Best comic book reader for ios!
This is the best comic book reader that I have found for IPad and I truly mean it. I have tried so many popular ones but none provided the flexibility of managing comics, reading modes and best of all iCloud integration. I cannot leave without the iCloud integration option. I truly appreciate the developer for making this app.
My only gripe is that some CBR files don’t get recognised by the app sometimes. It gets recognised by other apps as I have checked. Please look into this.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback about the app. We genuinely hope that the recently debuted version 3 adds more convenience to your life.
For the CBR file issue, we're afraid that currently we don't have many clues, as we have not received any similar reports so far. If you could help and send us an example file (a dummy one is fine as long as we can reproduce the issue) to the support: booklover@plastic-software.com, we would be willing to investigate it.
