Manga Viewer - CBZ(CBR) Reader 4+

Best Comic Book Reader

I’ve tried several comic reading apps over the years including Comic Zeal and Chunky. Chunky does a nice job, but I prefer Manga Viewer because of the number of settings that can be used to customize the reading experience. Even better for me is that it supports the Apple Keyboard. It’s very handy to have the iPad sitting upright with the keyboard folio and being able to navigate pages with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Wireless transfer over the same network works very well to import comics as well. PDFs of scanned books are handled without issue.

I also like that the app continues to get support from the developers unlike other similar apps. (I’m looking at you Comic Zeal whose last update was 3 years ago!) The only additional feature I would like to see from Manga Viewer is an option to view the library of comics with larger (grid view) covers instead of just the tiny thumbnail in a list view. Just a small quibble that doesn’t take away at all from giving this a deserving 5 stars.

It’s amazing

Very much worth the $1 for no ads, I find my hand slips and touched the 1 small out of the way add box often. The ads were not flashy or distracting in any way. So much customization in layout and navigation I’m sure anyone could get exactly what they want from this app. I would highly recommend downloading. 10/10 no problems.

Best Manga Reading App

Update: App is still great but I am a little suspicious as to why the app contacts a lot of outside domains. If you have app privacy report enabled you can see what I’m referring to.

This app has a bunch of features and iCloud syncing which is amazing as you’re able to seamlessly read between different devices. One of my favorite features is image fill for portrait mode. My only small complaint is that whenever I’m not connected to internet/celluar, it takes a while for the manga to show up as it’ll be stuck on “this file is organizing please wait” (very minor not a big deal).
