After trying a few other apps, I discovered KedaReader for streaming my cbr collection from a NAS home server. KedaReader offered the most features for a reasonable one-time price. I used the free trial version of the program for a few days, and then opted to buy the full version. The app is continually being improved and the author appears to be an active contributor in the GitHub community.I had a minor hiccup yesterday when I was reading a file and locked the orientation in my iPad control panel. One page got stuck with the wrong orientation and nothing I tried could get it to realign with the other pages. I looked for a manual control in the app to rotate the page to correct the orientation but couldn’t find anything. If it’s there I missed it. If not, it would be a useful feature to have.I deleted the file from the NAS, confirmed it no longer appeared in KedaReader and re uploaded the file back to the NAS. The error still appeared. I decided that either the app or the NAS was holding a copy of the bad file in a cache storage. I checked within KedaReader and it did not have anything saved in cache, so perhaps my SSD cache in the NAS was serving up the problem file. I renamed the file on my computer and re uploaded it into the NAS. This correctly presented all pages with correct orientation. The problem did not reoccur even after renaming back to original.All-in-all this program is a keeper. It is polished and even after I totally rearranged files and folders and sub folders on my NAS, it required no adjustments to reflect the changes I made. That’s good thoughtful programming.
Best manga reader

Edited: the page match function is already implemented, I just didn’t know! Awesome app!I like this app very much. One suggestion to make it even better is to add the function to adjust the page match. Some mangas have images across two pages, but the full display requires the page match (the correct even/odd number of pages) and not all the manga files fulfill it. Sometimes I have to delete a page in the manga to deliberately match the pages. If there is a built-in function to shift a page forward or backward it would be awesome!
This app might be THE one

I am so lucky this app found me because it doesn’t appear at the top of typical manga reader search strings! Very polished but what sold me was the built in image upscaler. That’s what kept me with chunky and this one uses waifu2x AND it doesn’t have chunky weird 2gb file limit. I’m at a lost for words. There has to be a catch that I have not yet found but for now, thank you for your work 🙏

Version 2.4.2
**Improvements**
- Files now sorts by volume number by default; file names like Vol.1.pdf, Vol.02.pdf can be handled correctly
- Rewrote the entire cache module, cache tracking is now more accurate, cache clearing is more thorough, effectively reducing the app's storage usage
**Fixes**
- Fixed a bug where manually cached files had to be re-cached after some time
- Checked and filled gaps to ensure all well-known OPDS servers can be accessed and read, such as Komga, Kavita, Calibre, and LANraragi
