Don’t waste your time.

It lost my place on one comic and now loads a blank inventory. Restarting app does not fix.

Hi, I have updated the app to address the problems, Please give it a try, Thanks

Useless

I already have comics in my iPad folders but there is no function to add them or even browse my downloads folder to add them

Used to work not anymore

Was my favorite reader before name change. Now all comics disappear. And blank screen.

Response from developer

Sorry about the blank library, and for the earlier reply being too vague. Recent checks of the current reader confirm that imported books remain visible after a full relaunch and that direct collection folders survive repeated library scans. Saved reading position is also retained. If you still see a blank library in version 1.6 or later, please contact App Support with your device, iOS version, import method and whether iCloud sync is enabled so I can investigate your case.

Garbage

Every time I tried to upload something both the source app and this app crashed. I tried from Dropbox and Google Drive. Avoid.

Response from developer

Sorry the import failed, and for the earlier reply being unspecific. The old Add Files path has been replaced with the system Files picker, and a confirmed crash in that old path was removed. In version 1.6 or later, open Settings > Add Files and select a supported PDF, CBZ/ZIP or classic CBR/RAR file from an enabled Files provider. Provider-specific failures can still need investigation: if Dropbox or Google Drive continues to fail, please contact App Support with your device, iOS version, file format and exact steps.

Shell of what it was

Once great app. Now so buggy and unreliable. Crashes frequently on a 2024 iPad Pro. Have to rebuild the comic library every time I open the app. Sadly looking for a replacement after years of happy use.

Comic books keep disappearing

There is serious bug where comic books keep disappearing and require rescanning the library.

Dateien verschwunden - das geht gar nicht!

Habe einige Comics per WLAN geladen, was gut funktionierte. Probe gelesen, auch noch okay.
Am nächsten Tag die App geöffnet, keine Comics mehr drin. Erst wenn ich die App mehrmals öffne und schließe sind die Comics auf einmal wieder zu sehen. Wie geht denn sowas? Dringend ein Update, sonst wird ein anderer Comic Reader geholt.

Crashes on ‘add files’

I have comics on my iPad so no interest in messing with web servers or (shudder) iTunes. Clicking ‘add files’ crashes the app instantly.

Good but… no bookmarks

Nice reader but no way to return to a bookmark. You just always start back from the beginning.

Too many bugs

While this is based on the old ComicFlow app (no longer available) it’s sadly way more buggy. The webserver is hit or miss. I have to rebuild the database all the time, losing reading progress. ComicFlow was simple and amazing. Unfortunately this is a big let down.

Funktioniert leider unzuverlässig

Ich weiß, von der Vorgänger App, dass man die App nicht schließen darf und das Display nicht sperren darf, währen die Dateien laden. Die Dateien sind erfolgreich übertragen worden. Ich habe ein paar Seiten gelesen. Habe die App geschlossen. Als ich später weiterlesen wollte, waren keine Dateien mehr in der App.

Does not work on macos

I cannot even open any comic file
Ssynox

Doesn't show loaded comics.

As title says.

Used to work … Not anymore

This new “update” opens to a blank inventory, I don’t know the secret of seeing my books, but I’m already tired of trying and it’s only been two days.

Response from developer

Sorry the library let you down. ComicReader has had several updates since this report. We have rechecked the current import and library paths: imported books remain visible after relaunch, direct collection folders survive rescanning, and the exact reading page is restored. If version 1.6 or later still opens to a blank library on your device, please contact App Support with your device model, iOS version, import method and iCloud setting so I can look into the remaining cause.

Not as stable as Comicflow

I used to use Comicflow from the same developer, and while this looks basically the same it’s quite buggy.

The library keeps getting corrupted and needs to be rebuilt frequently before you can read anything.

Lacks key function

This app doesn’t seem to have a way to view or read externally stored files.
