### 5/5 — The one and only

*2024-11-15*

Anyone caring about gray user experience and comics should stop their search right here: this is the perfect app to read your comics on the go. Great no-nonsense intuitive interface, keeps track of your progress, syncs with iCloud across devices, this app has it all.
This one deserves a space in your dock.

### 1/5 — CANT OPEN CBR FILE

*2024-02-23, version 3.2.1*

CANT OPEN CBR FILE

### 1/5 — total waste of money, don't buy

*2023-12-06, version 3.2.1*

It can't read anything but CBZ files, No CBR or PDF, or even jpg. Imports only just one file at a time, which would take ages with my 800   comic books. I would give it zero stars, if possible.

### 3/5 — Un peu lent et pas encore très pratique

*2023-10-22*

Je cherche un remplacement au regretté ComicFlow, très bien mais plus dispo sur le Store. ComicReader - Lisez vos comics a une interface agréable, mais n'est pas très souple dans la manipulation des fichiers. Il manque :
- le glisser déposer depuis le Finder
- la gestion des dossiers du Finder comme collection (il faut recréer les dossiers un par un, et surtout avant d'importer sinon le déplacement d'un fichier à l'intérieur de l'app se fait un par un).
C'est fastidieux quand on a plusieurs centaines de BD à gérer, déjà rangées par séries et par saisons à l'intérieur des séries… Je vais continuer à chercher

### 4/5 — No está mal.

*2023-07-31, version 3.2.1*

Estoy utilizandolo para leer dentro de mi iPad. La verdad está bien, no he tenido problemas con el programa más que una vez que me marcó como completado un comic que aún no terminanda. Hasta puedo hacer zoom a las páginas sin que sea tan evidente un bajón de calidad en la imágen aunque creo que esto también depende del archivo que se haya utilizado para leer. No me agrada que no se puedan compartir los comics entre dispositivos como una especia de nube para poder seguir tu lectura de un iPad a un iPhone o Macbook. Siento que está bien y creo que es la mejor opción a muchas aplicaciónes que son "gratis" pero te atiborran de anuncios.

### 1/5 — Mal lector

*2023-06-19, version 3.2.1*

Para ser de paga no tiene ninguna característica, ni siquiera zoom para poder leer bien los comics, no vale la pena pagar por tan pésimo producto

### 5/5 — Perfect. Almost.

*2023-04-21*

Almost everything in this reader is very well-executed. By far this app's best selling point is the Library organization. You can easily batch import into a collection, and even nest another collection inside the first. So my Warren Ellis collection goes into a collection, and inside that, I can set up new collections inside that collection to sort the books in the main collection into subcollections.
My only problem with this app is the lack of a two-page layout option. Sure I like single-page viewing sometimes, but I'm not a fan of not having the option.

### 4/5 — Good, but could be better

*2023-02-04, version 3.2.1*

I have no problems with the reader. Everything moves perfectly, and having collections is very cool. My only real complaint is the lack of a batch import. I have many comic books by volume, and importing them one at a a time is excessively time-consuming and frustrating.

### 4/5 — Nice Simple Collection App

*2022-04-10*

Nice and Simple, Missing a few features like thumbnail scale and knowing where the library is whether it copies or opens from original location. Hope there is still a few improvements to this nice little app.

### 5/5 — One of the best simple comics reader app

*2022-03-02*

No fuss, with speed and reliability. This is well worth the price!
