Lenticule vs ComicShelf Reader

Lenticule is the most advanced comic book reader for iPhone and iPad. CBR, CBZ, and PDF with on-device translation, guided panel reading, Right-to-Left manga, 3D depth, color modes, pro 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 at the bottom. The actual page, in your language. Translate one page or the whole issue in the background while you read, flip between original and translated instantly, and fix any line you'd word differently. PRIVATE, OFFLINE, AND YOURS TO KEEP Text recognition, translation, 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 you can export the result as a fresh CBZ. The app itself speaks English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Macedonian. GUIDED PANEL READING Lenticule maps every panel and guides you through the action one beat at a time. No manual scrolling, no lost place - just the story, flowing as the artist intended. TRUE RIGHT-TO-LEFT MANGA MODE Read manga the authentic way. RTL mode flips page order, navigation, and double-page spreads so gestures, panel guidance, and transitions flow naturally. COLOR MODES True Hue for artist-accurate color, Noir for black-and-white contrast, and Accent to spotlight one color while the rest fades to grayscale - per comic, and they combine with HDR. YOUR CLOUD LIBRARY Connect Dropbox and OneDrive, or add any folder through the Files app - iCloud Drive, network shares, USB drives. Lenticule catalogs covers and metadata without downloading everything, so you can browse thousands of issues and pull down only what you'll read. Already run your own comic server? Give Lenticule your Komga, Kavita, or OPDS address and your library arrives with its covers, series, and metadata intact. Lenticule reads the server you host - it doesn't provide comics or help you find any. SCAN YOUR PHYSICAL COMICS Scan straight from your camera and Lenticule turns the pages into clean CBZ files - automatic edge detection, perspective correction, and optional AI enhancement that sharpens and upscales. SPATIAL 3D DEPTH The Spatial Engine separates foreground subjects from background layers, giving flat art a subtle parallax that makes characters feel alive. TV & GLASSES MODE Plug in USB-C display glasses - XREAL, VITURE, RayNeo, Rokid - or AirPlay to your TV, and your comic fills the screen. Your phone becomes the remote: turn pages, zoom, and pan without looking down. Side-by-side glasses get true stereoscopic depth. PRO-GRADE HDR RENDERING Extended Dynamic Range pushes your screen's full brightness and gamut - vibrant inks, deep blacks, highlights that shine. SILKY SMOOTH PERFORMANCE A tiled-rendering pipeline keeps even huge PDFs and CBZ archives scrolling without a hint of lag. Zoom in and catch every detail. INTELLIGENT LIBRARY Automatic metadata, covers, and thousands of issues organized effortlessly - inside a premium Liquid Glass interface built for iOS 26. Export any comic as the untouched original or an optimized copy. DEVICE COMPATIBILITY - Guided Panel Reading: 4 GB RAM+ (iPhone 11 or newer; M-series iPads). - Ultra-Detail Mode: 6 GB RAM+. - HDR / EDR: Super Retina XDR or Liquid Retina XDR display. - TV & Glasses Mode: any AirPlay screen or USB-C glasses; stereoscopic 3D needs side-by-side (SBS) glasses. - Comic Translation: iOS 18 or later; language packs download once, then run offline. The Apple Intelligence pass needs a supported device - translation works great without it. NOTE: Lenticule does NOT contain or distribute comics. All comics shown in previews are for demonstration purposes only.
