### 5/5 — Macht was es soll

*2026-08-14*

Simpel und Benutzerfreundlich ohne viel Schnickschnack :)

### 4/5 — Straight to the point app exactly for what I need.

*2026-07-12*

The app works exactly how i hope it would. I reads the cbr files with no issues and it lets edit the meta data which is really convenient. There’s a small bug when you tap the page to show the scroll bar and tap again to hide it, the image will always move up and stays there. You have to zoom out to make it center again.

### 5/5 — Leitura de mangá

*2026-06-26*

Aplicativo simples e SUPER funcional!
Amei poder ler meus mangás por ele

### 3/5 — Hard to read on a phone.

*2026-05-25*

Great, very simple app. Would be a 5 star if I didn’t have to resize every page when reading on my phone. I turn it sideways on my phone and it sizes up vertically instead of horizontally making it too small to read. I’m able to stretch it to the right size but doing that for every page is a drag. Fix that and it’s a 5 star app easy.

### 5/5 — Good app, ugly icon

*2026-05-23*

The app is great but please make the icon a brighter shade of yellow. It looks so ugly on the Home Screen

### 5/5 — ????

*2026-05-11*

Не понимаю как пользоваться. Хотел прочитать комикс Sonic x Archie но не выйдет

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-13*

Does exactly what it should and doesn’t collect data. 11/10 score. Thank you to the dev team! My only suggestion is for there to be a vertical scrolling mode similar to how you read many comics / manga / manhwa on the web. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2026-04-04, version 2.22*

Any chance a single page view toggle could be added. Some landscape books I read I would like to read them as single page landscape mode on my iPad but this puts the app into automatic two page mode. Great app! Thanks!

### 3/5 — SFSG

*2026-03-05, version 2.22*

So far so good. If you get around to improvements I’d like to suggest a count total so we can see how many books are currently in the library. Secondly the ability to reset a title as new after reading it.

### 5/5 — Better than some paid readers

*2026-02-19*

This does what you want. It stores comics, understands some metadata, allows you to edit title, volume, issue #; and of course you can read comics. 

It’s not fancy but it is superbly functional. If I could edit metadata and make a hierarchy of collections, I’d pay $10 for a one time purchase but it’s great especially at the current price.
