It gets accidentally triggered a lot when pinch-zooming during a read. I thought I was encountering a bug for months until I realized what was going on. Thanks for the great app! ### 5/5 — 115网盘开发认证过期 *2026-07-31, version 2.4.3* 大佬115用不了了，有空解决呀 ### 2/5 — 经常闪退 *2026-06-01, version 2.4.2* 体验有点差，用OPDS协议，看十几篇漫画就会闪退 ### 5/5 — greatest reader of all time. *2026-05-16, version 2.4.2* amazingly great dropbox support. worth it 100%. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP... BUTTTT *2026-05-13, version 2.4.2* kedamanga is perfect... almost... itsliterally the app ive been looking for for years. i genuinely hate apple because they only make trash apps easy to find while gems like this one stay hidden forever. i wish id found this app earlier its so good. it has so much potential i really hope they keep improving it. currently it gets stuck (crashes) when i try to open big epub files but im still giving it 5 stars because its that good. but please fix the problem with epubs if you can. thank you for developing a great app. seriously i mean you deserve all the best ### 1/5 — 进去就是购买页面合理吗 *2026-04-16, version 2.4.2* 好歹让我看看基础功能啊，一打开就是购买页面，还不能取消 ### 5/5 — Seamless Cloud and Local Folder Integration for Effortless Reading! *2026-04-08, version 2.4.2* I love KedaReader’s Windows folder sharing and cloud storage linking features. It lets me easily load books and comics from local folders or NAS, without manually transferring files. It supports SMB for local sharing and integrates with Google Drive and OneDrive, giving me access anytime, anywhere. Perfect for users with large collections—highly recommended for seamless cross-device syncing! ### 5/5 — 🔥WOW🔥 *2026-03-29* After trying nearly every comic reader app available for iPadOS, I have to say that this one is amazing! The only reason I found it at all was because I asked Grok for recommendations. I must be in a small niche of users who are running a Kavita server for my comic collection (not Manga) and want to use it on an original iPad Pro that is stuck on iPadOS 16, so I am shocked that I have only encountered one bug (which I believe I have found a way to avoid). Setting this up to connect to my Kavita server using my OPDS API worked the very first time - imagine my elation! A far cry from my experience with every other app. Chunky works ok, but KedaReader is more beautiful and the ASMR/immersion/etc. extras make it OBVIOUS that other developers seriously lazy. Seriously, you have made an amazing app and I just wanted to make sure you get the recognition you deserve for it because we all too often hear more complaints than compliments in this space. Now… if you were able to somehow add the feature that the “Smart Comic Reader” app has which automatically detect panels, zooms in, & advances as you read, I would say “Game over, man”! 😎 [FYI, the bug I mentioned occurs when I open-pinch to zoom in on a page, and then tap & hold, the drag to pan around. I can’t predict it but sometimes the page rotates 90° clockwise, divides in half into two pages, and stays that way. It doesn’t affect the rest of the comic. But every time I go back to that page it is split in half and behaves as if it were two pages, each rotated 90° clockwise. No amount of tinkering yet has been able to revert this - it seems to stay saved with the comic every time I open it.] ### 1/5 — 性价比拉到底的选择 *2026-02-03* 不知道作者哪来的勇气比经典的comic share价格贵一倍，自己看看有多少性能好的漫画阅读app比你便宜多了，想钱想疯了 ### 5/5 — Une app fiable rapide et bien pensée *2026-02-02* Top pour les bds franco belges et les pdf. Je l’uyilise avec server komga auto hoste. Une semaine gratuite pour tester en intensif puis j’ai fait l’achat a vie de 8 eur. J’ai teste Panels en parallele, bien decu car 10 fois moins d’option de lecture et moins rapide a ouvrir les fichiers. ## Frequently asked questions about KedaReader ### What kind of files can KedaReader open?
