Nice layout but lacks CBR support

This app has a nice layout and works well with CBZ graphic novel files, but it lacks support for a critical format that I use which is CBR. I thought that by purchasing the Pro license it would add this but sadly it does not. Perhaps the developer can add this support for those of us who like the app and have paid for Sutra Pro.

Seems good

Was able to import my library easily and it seems the reader is ok, but without a free trial I’m hesitant to purchase pro because only having access to the first 7 pages of a book I’m unable to confirm if I’ll run into issues like I have in other cbz readers, too bad.

Thanks for checking out the app! The 7-page preview limit only applies to CBZ files, so you can test the panel engine on complete PDF or EPUB comics for free before deciding on Pro.

Great book reader

This is a great app, but one area of improvement it needs is page sync. I’ll read for a while and come back later on the same device and the page is in a totally different place in the book. Of course it’s just as bad when switching devices. I know page sync is being handled by iCloud, but I would think there’s a better way to be more accurate.

Thanks for letting us know! We haven't been able to reproduce this sync behavior on our end. Please reach out via our website support page with your device details and app version so we can look into this for you.

Pay walled predatory gimmick

You should make your app paid instead of lying and pay walling after a download. Predatory and freemium BS.

Appreciate the feedback. To clarify - Sutra isn't freemium-with-a-paywall-surprise: epub/pdf and the major library servers (Calibre, Kavita, Grimmory, etc.) are free permanently, no time limits. Pro only gates a few specific things (cbz/mobi format support, Komga server) that fund building a native parser. As of the current release, you can preview the first 5 pages of any .cbz before deciding. If there's a specific feature that felt bait-and-switch, let me know - happy to look at it.

Great Self Hosted Kavita Reader

As a standalone reader it’s pretty good. With self hosted Kavita and the two way progress sync its incredible. Setup was super easy and I’ve had zero issues thus far.

I can only assume most of the issues people will have is not due to this app but with whatever server they’re trying to connect to.

Love the app, highly recommend.

Thank you! 🙏

Display of pdf

Another comment: for pdf richely designed, i.e. with pictures, frames, etc. there should be an option to display the original pdf as-is, without rendering it’s text independently from the original design.
Comment because some pdf aren’t really readable because of this rich design which is difficult to handle

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into full white characters for a dark theme as an option. To your other question, I'm trying to create an option for users to open a couple of cbz files as a part of the free offering so that they can test out the feature as a part of the 2.1 release

Calibre web support broken

I have tried several times now to get my Calibre web library working but it just hangs. I’ve done so much troubleshooting on my server to try and diagnose why it doesn’t work. I can put in my server details and it recognizes my library but just never returns. If I ever get it working maybe I can see how well it actually works as an OPDS client. Komga support is also welcome and interesting but I’m not paying money if I can’t get the basic functionality working.

Amazing reading experience

This is a solution for all your e reading problems. Loving the ability to link to Kavita and Gutenberg. And the reading experience has been fantastic. Takes a bit to load my library, but is great after that.

Smooth

I like that it is easy in use. Also that it is free. Thanks to the app I did setup my own calibre( i will test it for 1-2 weeks and definitely support. Even if I don't need that extra options). Maybe we can get a Google translator.

Handling of epub full pages should be improved

The application is great, in particular it’s ability to connect to Calibre and Kavita servers. However, the display of epub pages is weak and could be improved. The page does not fully occupy the full display of an iPad
Furthermore when you choose a dark theme full white characters could be enabled to enhance contrast
You should also allow one import of cbz file so that one can test your display of a comic, before buying the pro version
