Pretty good app

### 5/5 — Organized, Streamlined, No Subscription

*2026-05-15*

I must say it‘s refreshing to buy an app in 2026 and you don‘t get lost in over-complicated user interfaces and it you get it for a simple task and it just does that.

The organization of my comics looks nice, cover artwork is evenly big and looks good over all aspec ratios, when you drop new comics into the coresponding folder the titles get shown in the app library right away. Way to go!

### 5/5 — Stopped importing properly

*2026-03-11, version 1.8.1*

More than half of the imports show up as gray blocks 0 bites. This app has become useless. I also can’t contact them as the feedback button just tries to open the email app and I have gmail, I don’t use the email app = epic fail

### 4/5 — Marque page ?

*2026-02-11*

L’appli me semble très bien. Je ne l’ai installer qu’hier, mais je retire une étoile parce que je n’ai pas trouver le marque page. Ou le signet. Je dois retenir le numéro de page pour revenir plus tard ?
