The best reader experience
It does everything it says, and does it so well. Clean and simple interface, iCloud integration that just works and I love the panel by panel reading experience on my iPad. As a bonus I can use it on my MacBook now also, so cool to have my books with me wherever I go.
Lack basic features and crashes on large imports
For a paid app, it definitely is disappointing. It lacks some of the basic features relating to importing using OPDS or better ways to import and view your collection.
Importing a large library will crash the app where the storage space will be used but the library will be empty. Clearly the devs did not test the app thoroughly. For what it's worth, I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I was trying to import 7GBs of data at once split in 50ish volumes.
The smart zoom feature is nothing to write home about either, especially for comic books that will alternative between the layout of each block. You will need to flip your phone constantly and locking the screen orientation simply defeats the whole purpose. There are better apps out there, both paid and free options.
I regret my purchase and would definitely not recommend for the time being. Not having the ability to try the app prior to purchase is pretty telling.

Great for reading manga
Very glad I took a chance on buying this. Works like a charm for reading manga on iPhone. It goes panel by panel rather than page by page so it’s even easier to read than a physical copy.
Closing Immediately
As soon as I open the App, it is shutting down immediately . It is used to be good and now it’s closing immediately.
So geht das - ist sensationell gut
… und könnte für die gebotene und mit den letzten Update nochmals angehobene Qualität gut und gerne ein paar Euro kosten. Sollte es vielleicht auch, um die Weiterentwicklung zu unterstützen. Die bei Comixology einstmals bewunderte und offenbar gar nicht so leicht zu realisierende Panel-für-Panel-Funktion funktioniert hier perfekt. Smart Comic Reader ist mE konkurrenzlos.

Well worth the price
It’s simple and makes it easier to organize the books on my phone. Love that it zooms in on frames. However I’d love to see more customization added into the future. Would love to see more options for horizontal reading to stay zoomed in while flipping pages, and options to read comics vertically by scrolling up as well; (WEBTOON style comics).
I’ll be using this app for a long time.

What happened? Part 2
Hello again. I recently posted a review saying that the new update didn’t work. I want to apologize and let you know just in case others have the same issue. I deleted the app, then I reinstalled it and it works fine. I see and like the improvements. I think it is actually faster and more responsive. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Endlich
Zu guter Letzt ist sie doch noch gekommen, Jahre später, die Galleryansicht. Das macht Smart Comic Reader um so vieles besser! Endlich kann man wieder gut durch große Comicsammlungen blättern! Vielen lieben Dank!
Ничего удобнее не видел!
Идеально подстраивается под панели, пролистывается с красивой анимацией – это сильно изменило опыт чтения, надеюсь разработчик и дальше будет поддерживать это приложение
ЛУЧШАЯ!
Это самая лучшая читалка для комиксов! Обладает облачной синхронизацией, очень удобно, что распознает панельки и автоматически зумирует их по нажатию! Комиксы читать - одно удовольствие, не нужно постоянно приближать/отдалять, напрягать глаза. А на айпаде - вообще шикардос!
Panel by panel a Godsend on iPad mini .. love it
Best cbr cbz reader out there

Absolutely does the job
Defo up there with panels, but with a one time sub and auto per panel zooming which is absolutely amazing…
No page marking function
It’s been the best comic reader app by far.
But I really really REALLY hope the next version will allow me to mark some of the pages that I’d read again and then screenshot them. I’ve updated many times, and I’d feel disappointed each time.
Besides, is it possible for me to choose a new word in a panel and translate directly? Now I have to open up a dictionary app and input the word in the dictionary app, which is quite annoying and low efficient.
I REALLY look forward to your reply, whether my advice will be taken or not.
Best Regards.

iCloudに大量のファイルを置いても快適
iCloudに1000以上のファイルを置いても正常に快適に動作します。お気に入り機能や検索など、機能的にもう少し頑張って欲しいところもあるけど、今のところベストなコミックリーダーです。
Great App with one flaw
This app is phenomenal — its panel detection alone is worth the price of admission. Great library as well, with collections made super-easy and a great search function. Two things prevent it from being perfect; can’t adjust the cover size in grid view, and for some reason you can’t easily exit out of “panel view” to go back to the Gallery. You have to close it and open it again — at least on the Mac — not iOS. Fix those two things and it will be perfect.

One feature that would make it 5 star
So basically if there was feature like panel where you could zoom in with just holding your finger long enough like panels comic reader then it would be fantastic because comics don’t work with smart zoom it doesn’t follow comic orientation. Like just please add zoom with long press and we could tweak how much zoom for more personal experience.
And widgets so that i can jump straight from my Lock Screen to my comic or manga.
Please add zoom in with one finger this would then be the best reader for comics and manga and widgets

Top Notch Comic Reader App
This is a fantastic comic reader app. For $2, it handles all my cbr, cbz, and even PDF files perfectly. I use it on my iPad, and the comics I read all look great and feel excellent in terms of the reading experience, as well as actually managing them. I have hundreds of comics, series, & PDFs spread among a dozen folders, all with nested subfolders and this app handles it great.
My big problem with a lot of comic reader apps is that they cram themselves full of bespoke functionality and features that result in a worse app experience, often at higher prices. “We have all these features that 1 person might use 1 time, so why don’t we charge $10, $15 or more?”
That’s not an issue here. It’s exactly what I wanted at a very low cost. Best $2 I’ve spent in a long time.
If you want a way to read comics, books and PDFs that’s streamlined, user-friendly, and not exorbitantly expensive or feature-bloated—this is it.

Liebevoll gemacht
Ist zusammen mit dem Internet Archive unschlagbar gut. 6 von 5 Sternen
Very happy with this reader
I needed an app to read my offline files in CBZ format but I noticed that the privacy policies of some of the ‘free’ apps out there permit them to share your PII and track what you read. This app claims to not share any data.
I like that it can import files from iCloud or OneDrive, and it has worked flawlessly for me so far.
It has a neat feature to zoom into the comic panels and can quickly swap left-to-right and vice-versa reading order.
The panel zoom is not flawless but works 99% of the time. If i had a complaint it would be that the touch zones to move forward or backward across the pages are not perfect. There is a setting to choose between four options but none of them are exactly what i’d prefer. No matter - it still works well enough.
