Great app

This is a great app for iPads/phones.

Some suggestions:
Be able to rad comics off cloud service so that you can free up space on your device
Have a recently read or bookmark feature to track recent volumes

How to use?

How do I search titles? Do you need a subscription to read series? Wanted to read invincible comics if possible

Response from developer

Panels does not provide content. It’s a DRM-Free reader. You have to provide your own comic files. Once you add them to your library, the Search option will work.

Good but expensive

The app is good. It's clean, well organized, easy to use, and smooth. However, the fact that they try to get you into a subscription for what are pretty basic features is ridiculous. I won,d be open to a one time cost, but the price they want to charge (around $25 CAD) is way too expensive for an app that is Essen iaklt a glorified pdf reader. Worth a few bucks max.

The best.

I was super sad when my favourite reader, for a long time, Comic Zeal, finally bit the dust. But Panels has risen to the top of the heap with a gorgeous modern design and constant updates to become the new cream of the crop!

The best app I have downloaded in a long time

This app is elite! For reading comics and graphic novels it provides such a seamless and enjoyable experience. I airdrop my files often and my phone immediately asks to open it in panels and boom it’s ready to read. You can also make collections when you are reading a comic with multiple issues so your library isn’t crowded. No ads, great Ui and wonderful app!

Why Panels is good.

The reason why it is good is because you can practically read anything.

Great but has a bug

App work great, however, there’s a bug where if you have 2 files with the same name but in different folders, the thumbnails show up wrong . Seems like all files with the same name will have the same thumbnail despite containing different things.

Response from developer

We’ll look into this.

Great reader, but download glitches

A great reader app, usually with useful ability to download from Google Drive and OneDrive. However, lately my downloads from the latter are frequently freezing at 98%, forcing me to reboot the app. I'm using a 2014 iPad Mini, but have not had problems until recently. A real shame, as otherwise this is my favourite comic reader. Tried tge app support button but the link is dead.

This should be fixed in 2.13.13. Please, give it a try and let us know if it fixed it for you.

Thanks

Thanks

Seeing both pages like a normal book requires subscription

Reading a comic normally ie, seeing both pages as a spread is locked behind a subscription. I find this is really lame, I’d be happy to pay a couple bucks but this is really silly why do I need to pay a subscription just to view a book like normal? Besides this great app.

Hello, we have just added a lifetime option for Panels 2. We hope you can give Panels another opportunity. Thanks.
