I like to change brightness, sharpness gamma settings etc.. but you can do only that for comic that you are reading and it doesn’t save your settings. So you have to do it each time. Very annoying. You can’t change the settings for blue light reading either. If you want to use one-panel reading, each time you have to do it manually for each comic and it won’t remember the next time. So the issue is that this software doesn’t remember your settings. It remember some basic things but too little. For price charged, this should be part of basic service. **Developer response:** Entering panel by panel mode is as easy as doing a double tap y the app if configured to do so. Image filters are indeed by comic, because not all comics will require the same adjustments, but they can be carried over for the same series. ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps on mobile and desktop *2026-07-08* I really like the app; it’s got all the things I could want, a clean UI, it’s open source and allows you to host your own server. It’s not perfect however, I’ve experienced crashes, especially on older devices. But, overall it’s a pretty great app. ### 4/5 — good *2026-06-29, version 3.38.0* good ### 4/5 — plz *2026-06-25* 提两个建议 1 给漫画加标签，从而从大量漫画中快速筛选出需要的漫画，可以在搜索栏做一个根据名称搜索和根据标签搜索 2 添加阅读时自动翻页功能 ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-10, version 3.38.0* I have long used this app and it has never disappointed. 10 out of 5 stars!! ### 3/5 — Deutsch *2026-05-28* Wenn es diese App auch auf Deutsch gibt so wie bei Windows dann gebe ich gerne 5 Sterne **Developer response:** The desktop apps translations are done by the community because it’s an open source project. I am the only developer of the all the apps and I don’t know German, that’s the reason the iOS and Android apps don’t support other languages. ### 5/5 — Best comic reading app on the App Store *2026-05-23, version 3.38.0* This app is absolutely worth the price. It’s fantastic, the reading options are helpful, and I’m able to integrate with a variety of cloud storage services. The comic quality itself is great. Highly recommend it for sure! ### 4/5 — Une bonne appli de lecture *2026-05-15* Vraiment pratique pour lire différents formats (pdf, cbr,cbz). Mais, lorsqu’il y a beaucoup de page, cela se bloque. Et lorsqu’elle est relancée, on ne retombe pas sur la dernière page lue…dommage **Developer response:** Please, use the Help section for contacting me about any issues you may be having. ## Frequently asked questions about YACReader ### What is YACReader?
