Best comics reader on iPhone

Been using it since iPhone 6 ,I really enjoy this app, it’s FREE and does all u can expect, love the new update!

Responsive to Feedback

I appreciate that the developer took a look at refutes and feedback and resolved all my initial notes along with others as they followed up their initial update with a quick series of butch fixes.

Becareful with new update!

I’ve used this app through out years but it updated on its own and now my comics are gone. Trying to figure out how to get them back. I’m glad they are making the app better after years but would just like my comics not to be lost.

Response from developer

hi! i did test this scenario, but i didn't put a progress for the migration. If you had a large library, try opening it up again, but leaving it open for a bit, they should restore. i'll submit an update that better shows what's it's doing. Sorry about that!

Still good!

IComix is still my favorite reader. Great import from Dropbox.

It can only open files stored in the cloud.

It can only open files stored in the cloud. Thats no good to me.

Great app with one major flaw

First off this is one of the few free readers that can import from cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox, and perhaps the only one worth using. I have a large collection on OneDrive so this is ,y ride or die feature.

However the “smart” organizing feature is sorely lacking, and the entire reason I give the app 2 stars instead of 5. It works well enough when you have long sequential runs of a single title, provided you have consistent file names, but if you are trying to maintain reading order for a crossover arc, or have a large number of one-shots or TPBs it becomes quite unwieldy. It would be easier if I could just turn off and let the comics be categorized based on the folder they were imported from, and showing the full file name instead of just the number.

App Blocked by Google Drive

Trying to access sensitive information.

No longer works

Used it for over a year but now I can’t upload local files or download from Google Drive, One Drive, or Box. Pointless app now

Unusable?

Downloaded the app to read a graphic novel series I’ve downloaded & get into reading manga. But when I went to log into my OneDrive, every time I’d enter my password the app would crash. I hope that bug will be fixed in the future, until then I’ll be using another app

Great CBR reader… but

… really needs to include Mega cloud storage!

Doesn’t work

Can’t load local files. Dead app?

Pretty good

Over all, pretty easy to use. My only issue is if you download a file that isn’t .cbr the app will start to crash.
Wish there was .pdf support as well.

Worked for a few days

This was fine working for a few days now it crashes

Used to work....

Used this app for years and loved it. But now my comics APPEAR to be downloading to the app but never appear in my library. No response from support, unable to find a fix online... more likely to be Apple causing the problem than the app itself, but regardless, I’m no longer reading comics in this app.

Used to be really good

Seems to be broken now, can’t upload anything now. Used to work really well before

App blocked by google drive

App blocked by google drive, Wants to access sensitive data

Fav

Please, please fix this app. It used to be my favorite (see previous review below.)

After an upgrade to iOS 14.4 it crashes every time. It will only stay open a few seconds. I’d be glad to purchase a paid version of the app if only it were updated.

The following is my review from back when it worked:

*******

This is my favorite comic app. I highly recommend it. It is simple and fast and can download comics directly from several cloud services.

One little hiccup. After iPad OS, it stopped recognizing comics sent via Airdrop.

Broken

Google Drive now blocks this app for trying to access “sensitive information”.

Keeps shutting down

App keeps shutting down just after opening. Any advice would be welcomed.

Hmm

Not authorised for google sign in so can’t use with google drive. :-)
