VerseDB vs Lenticule

Scan a comic, know what you are holding, and keep track of every issue you own. VerseDB is free to use, with no limit on how many comics you track. Scan the barcode Point your camera at a comic and it is in your collection in seconds. VerseDB reads the extra digits printed beside the barcode, which are what tell issue 3 of a run from issue 30, so a scan lands on the exact issue rather than the series. Scan a stack in one go and confirm each book before it is added. Know what is worth something First appearances, deaths and origins are flagged on the issue itself, so a long box stops hiding its best books. See what your whole collection is worth, free. With Pro, see estimated values low, mid and high, prices by grade, values by variant cover, and graded census data. Stop buying it twice Check what you already own while you are standing at the back issue bins, and see which issues are still missing from the runs you collect. If you have been keeping your collection in a spreadsheet, this replaces it. Widgets, Apple Watch and Siri Your pull list on your wrist, with a complication for the watch face. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for iPhone and iPad. Ask Siri what your next release is, whether you own an issue, or to add a series to your pull list. Your series turn up in Spotlight too. Never miss new comic day Browse upcoming releases week by week, filter by publisher or format, and add a series to your pull list with one tap. The whole catalog Over 1 million issues, 154,000 series, 168,000 characters and 87,000 creators from 9,800 publishers, major and independent. Western comics, manga, manhwa, manhua and bande dessinée, from single issues to omnibuses. Track your reading Mark an issue read with one tap, work through a run or a crossover, and set a reading goal for the year. Each series you read gets its own stats, and Pro adds your year in review. Lists, reviews and collectors Build your own lists, keep a wishlist of what you are hunting with its order cutoffs and release dates, and browse reading orders from other collectors. Rate any issue from half a star to five and see what people thought before starting a new series. Like and discuss what other collectors are up to in the community feed. Find a comic shop 5,000 shops across 31 countries on a map, with hours, directions and the ones you save. Plus comic cons near you, and podcasts worth following. What Pro adds Market values by issue and grade, collection and reading statistics, smart lists that build themselves, cover recognition, and the VerseAI assistant. Everything above is free. Built by collectors, because the details matter: the variant cover, the first appearance, the issue you still need.

The most advanced comic book reader for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. CBR, CBZ, and PDF with on-device translation, read-aloud bubbles, guided panel reading, Right-to-Left manga, 3D depth, HDR, TV & Glasses Mode, and your whole cloud collection - in a stunning Liquid Glass library. TRANSLATE ANY COMIC, RIGHT ON THE PAGE Found a series that never got translated? Tap the globe. Lenticule reads the lettering and paints the translation back into the bubbles - same colors, same style, same energy. Not subtitles. The actual page, in your language. Translate a page or the whole issue in the background while you read, flip between original and translated instantly, and reword any line yourself. HEAR EVERY BUBBLE Tap a speech bubble to hear it read aloud - the original, the translation, or both - with a delivery that follows the mood of the scene. Turn on Natural Voices for lifelike narration. A great way to learn a language, one panel at a time. PRIVATE, OFFLINE, AND YOURS TO KEEP Text recognition, translation, voices, and an optional Apple Intelligence pass that keeps names and tone consistent all run on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. Works in airplane mode, and exports as a fresh CBZ. The app speaks English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Macedonian. READ ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Send a comic from your iPhone and read it on your wrist, offline. Guided mode frames one panel at a time, the Digital Crown zooms in, and your place follows you back to the phone. Keep it in your Smart Stack or ask Siri to continue. GUIDED PANEL READING Lenticule maps every panel and guides you through the action one beat at a time - just the story, as the artist intended. TRUE RIGHT-TO-LEFT MANGA MODE RTL mode flips page order, navigation, and double-page spreads so gestures, panel guidance, and transitions all flow right. COLOR AND DYNAMIC RANGE True Hue for artist-accurate color, Noir for black-and-white contrast, and Accent to spotlight one color - set per comic. Extended Dynamic Range uses your screen's full brightness: vibrant inks, deep blacks, highlights that shine. YOUR CLOUD LIBRARY Connect Dropbox and OneDrive, or add any folder through the Files app - iCloud Drive, network shares, USB drives. Browse thousands of issues by cover and download only what you read. Run your own Komga, Kavita, or OPDS server? Add its address and your library arrives with covers, series, and metadata intact. Lenticule reads the server you host - it doesn't provide comics or help you find any. SCAN AND RESTORE Scan physical comics with your camera into clean CBZ files. Already have rough scans? Enhance crops the borders, straightens pages, and upscales the art with on-device AI - originals kept, so you can always undo. SPATIAL 3D, TV & GLASSES MODE The Spatial Engine gives flat art a parallax that makes characters feel alive. Plug in USB-C display glasses - XREAL, VITURE, RayNeo, Rokid - or AirPlay to your TV, and your phone becomes the remote. Side-by-side glasses get true stereoscopic depth.
