Panel Flow is a comic and manga reader that follows the story panel by panel. Version 3.0 brings it to iPhone, iPad and Mac, with your library synced through iCloud. Bring your own collection: import CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT and PDF files, or browse your own comic servers (OPDS-compatible). Panel Flow organizes it all and keeps your place. GUIDED READING - Panel and speech bubble detection: Panel Flow finds the panels on each page and moves through them in reading order, zooming in on one panel at a time. - Steady focus that reframes when you rotate the device and respects Reduce Motion. - Left-to-right, right-to-left for manga, and vertical scroll for long-strip comics. LISTEN AND TRANSLATE - Text-to-speech reads the speech bubbles aloud, and guided reading can move along with the voice, bubble by bubble. - Speech bubble translation shows the translated text right on the page. - On supported devices with Apple Intelligence, ask for an on-device description of the current page. YOUR LIBRARY, ON EVERY DEVICE - iCloud sync, once you turn it on: collections, reading progress and metadata follow you across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Downloaded pages and imported files stay on each device. - A personal reading shelf, collections, search, sorting and a metadata editor. - New chapter alerts: turn them on and Panel Flow checks your series from online sources in the background and lets you know about new chapters (your own comic servers are not included). - One Activity Queue for downloads and image enhancement, with several chapters downloading at once. - A Storage screen shows what each publication uses and frees space by type, chapter or publication. - Optional progress tracking with anime and manga tracking services. MADE TO FIT YOU - Themes from manga to noir, with accessible contrast in every one. - Shortcuts and Siri: Open Library and Continue Reading. - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support. - Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with an original sample comic to try first.
