Comic Book Viewer 4+

Great App!

I will change this to 5-stars when I get a definitive answer to this question. Once I add the comics to this app, can I delete the file in the folder? I use an iPhone for this app and I cannot find any detailed information about this app or how to contact the developer. I want to free up some space and it seems I can free up about 15+ GB if I can delete the files in the folder once adding the comic books to the app. You might want to consider explaining that the files are being uploaded directly to the app, so people like me do not get confused as to whether or not I have to keep the files in the folder. I tested 1 comic I finished to see by deleting the file from my download folder, but the comic still works in this app. That is an important feature to explain in the overview for this app, and you may consider explaining that while in the app so people don’t save 15+ GB of files they don’t need to have… I have an iPhone and the storage is limited. Thank you. I love the app a lot and every thing works great!

Developer Response ,

Hi Magewright, thank you for your feedback! This apps copies all files into its internal document directory, so you can safely delete the files from your iCloud drive. This has never been clarified because this has been the default mode of operation for any iOS app since the beginning (well, this app started out 2015) and Apple only allowed other behaviours in the recent years. Keep in mind, that if you delete this app, this also deletes all files in the app's document folder. If you own a Mac or PC with iTunes, you can access the app's document folder via iTunes / Finder file sharing: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301 Disclaimer: nonetheless it's always a good idea to have a solid backup of your files somewhere. Happy reading! - DerJegge

Hands down the best comic book reader for iOS

This is exactly what I am looking for in a comic book reader. This app allows you to easily import CBR and CBZ files and allows you to edit metadata like series and issue right in the user interface. The sort features are perfect. And it performs exactly as expected. No loading screens, snappy UI, and has no issues managing a very large library or very large books within your library. Plus it’s free and has no ads. This would easily be worth $10.

The only things that could make this app better are an option to disable screen rotation while the app is open and an option to have separate libraries (so I can separate manga from comics). The tag system is good but I want to group by series while having these tags separated.

I also wish I could find a regular eReader that works as well as this app with all the same features. The closest thing so far is Yomu and there are some major bugs that make it difficult to use. Everything else either doesn’t let you import your own books easily, doesn’t let you properly sort by author while grouping books by series, or doesn’t let you edit metadata in the app.

Probably not your fault but Apple’s

I can’t use it on mu iphone se3. I tried the app, it shows that there is nothing on library. I have hundreds of .pdf on my download, so I tried adding files by tapping the + button. The browser recognizes that there are files, but they are all grayed out.

I appreciate that this is not a spyware and it’s very lightweight. From what I gather, it’s an affiliate of CDisplay app on Android/windows which does work on my PC and I like very much.
