About

NOIZ

Features
Read full description

NOIZ is a noisy, paper textured comic reader. Read the ZIP, RAR, and PDF comics you already own in a single, unified library. A manga and glitch tone design turns every page turn into a small event. Highlights - ZIP, RAR, and PDF together. The same library and the same reader regardless of format. - Single or dual page view. Left to right or right to left progression, and a cover alone option. - Organize with folders, bulk move or delete with multi select, and drag and drop. - Auto reconcile. Your library lives in Application Support, so reinstalling the app brings your books straight back. - Resume where you left off. The reader returns to the last page you read, and every cover in the library shows a progress bar. - Pinch with two fingers to zoom, tap the left or right edge to flip pages. - Haptics on, sound off. The silence of reading is respected. Requirements - iOS 17.0 or iPadOS 17.0 or later - iPad Pro recommended NOIZ has no ads and no tracking. Read the books you own, on the device you own.
