Lenticule vs Comix Reader

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. INTELLIGENT LIBRARY Every comic opens on an Overview of its cover, credits, and story. Pinch to resize covers from Showcase to Compact, and metadata organizes thousands of issues effortlessly. Huge PDFs scroll without lag, and any comic exports as the original or an optimized copy. DEVICE COMPATIBILITY Guided Panel Reading: 4 GB RAM+ (iPhone 11+; M-series iPads). Ultra-Detail: 6 GB RAM+.

Comix Reader is a fast, focused way to read CBZ comics, manga, and webtoons on iPhone and iPad. Point it at a folder of CBZ files — on your device, in any cloud-synced folder, or on your own server — and it organizes everything into a clean library with cover thumbnails and per-series progress. CONTINUOUS SCROLL Read a whole chapter — or a whole series — without ever tapping "next page." When you reach the bottom of one chapter, the next one appends automatically. Perfect for webtoons and long-form manga. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES Comix Reader doesn't host or sell content. You bring your own CBZ files. Drop them into a folder and Comix indexes the series and chapters automatically. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Store your library in a cloud-synced folder — including iCloud Drive — and your reading progress, favorites, and completed series stay in sync across your devices. No account required. REMOTE LIBRARY Run the included web server on your home machine and read your full library over your network or VPN — no need to copy files to every device. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT A passcode-protected Hidden section keeps selected series off the main library view, unlockable with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. THOUGHTFUL READING EXPERIENCE - Crisp width-capped image decode for high-resolution webtoon pages - Lazy loading — only nearby pages stay in memory - Auto-saved bookmarks per chapter (page and scroll position) - Native edge-swipe to dismiss the reader - Continue Reading card that picks up exactly where you left off NO ADS.
