SSUK View is a light, fast comic viewer. Open the comic files you already have, and pick up where you left off on any device. ■ Open files as they are • ZIP and CBZ archives, PDFs and folders of JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC images open directly. • Pages are sorted naturally by file name (1, 2, … 10). • Wide two-page scans are split automatically. ■ Straight from the cloud • Read from Google Drive and Dropbox without downloading first. • Pick several volumes in a folder and add them to your shelf at once. • Pages are cached only while you read (up to 500 MB) and cleared oldest-first. • Save any book to the device to read offline. ■ Comfortable reading • A page-curl turn that feels like paper (or slide, or instant) • Automatic single or two-page view for your screen and orientation, with the cover on its own • Right-to-left paging for manga, tap or swipe to turn • A magnifier for small lettering, pinch to zoom • Slide up or down to adjust brightness • Keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac ■ Shelf and series • Continue reading, Reading and Favorites filters, search and sort • Volumes from the same folder or title are grouped into a series automatically • Make your own series, rename them, or take volumes out • Use any page of the book, or a photo, as its cover • Finish one volume and the next is ready to go ■ Continue anywhere • Sign in with email, Google or Apple to sync your shelf, page, favorites and series across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. • Books you read on another device appear on your shelf and open from your connected cloud. • Your comic files are never uploaded — only records such as titles and reading position sync. • Every reading feature works without an account. ■ Made for iPad • Layouts adapt smoothly in Split View, Slide Over and Stage Manager. ■ Remove Ads SSUK View is free, with a small banner and an occasional ad when you open or finish a book (at most once every 20 minutes) — never while reading. A one-time Remove Ads purchase (₩4,900) removes them for good. • One-time purchase, not a subscription, charged to your Apple ID. • On a new device, tap My Account → Remove Ads → Restore purchase. Note: SSUK View is a viewer and does not sell comics. Please use only files you lawfully own. The app interface is currently in Korean.
