Lenticule vs TritonPanels Comic Book 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.

TritonPanels is a premium comic and manga reader for the files you already own — on iPhone and iPad. An active subscription is required. There is no free library. Start with a 7-day free trial, then continue at the monthly or yearly price shown in the app. Prices are set by Apple and vary by region. WHY READERS CHOOSE TRITONPANELS Your cloud, your comics Connect Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive and read from the library you already keep. We never host your files, and sign-in tokens stay on your device. Prefer to keep everything local? Import with the system file picker. On iPhone and iPad, Google Drive comics are chosen through the Files app. Google only lets an app browse your Drive folders itself after a paid annual security review, which would push up the price of TritonPanels. Dropbox and OneDrive browse in-app. Panel by Panel Read one panel at a time, full screen. An on-device detector trained on over a thousand hand-checked pages, including European albums and classic Sunday strips, finds the panels and frames each one on its art; no page ever leaves your device. Tap the sides to step and the top for controls. Pinch closed for the whole page, spread to zoom back in, and drag with two fingers to peek past a panel's edge. Hide Surrounding Panels blacks out the rest of the page. A reader that gets out of the way Single page, double-page spreads, continuous scroll or Panel by Panel. Fit-to-page or original size with pinch-to-zoom. Turn pages with a slide, a tap on the edge, or instantly. Brightness, keep-awake, and a thumbnail strip to jump anywhere. Controls fade while you read, or stay until you tap. Each way of reading explains its gestures the first time you open it, and How Controls Work in the reader menu brings the guide back any time. Optional image filters for scans: reduce noise, sharpen line art, crop blank borders, and soften moiré. A library worth keeping Collections, reading lists, tags and favourites. Filter by unread, in-progress or completed, and sort by title, date added, last read, or series. Covers and series details are read from ComicInfo.xml, with a smart filename fallback. Real search Find comics by title, filename, series, writer, publisher or tag. Read anywhere Everything you import is readable offline. Optional auto-download of new cloud comics, with a Wi-Fi-only guard so it stays off mobile data. Never lose your place Reading progress is saved automatically, so every series resumes where you stopped. Bookmark any page and attach a note. Track the journey See comics read, pages turned, reading streaks and monthly completions. Light and dark themes. FORMATS CBZ, CBR (RAR4), CBT and PDF. CBR files compressed with the newer RAR5 format are not supported — re-save as RAR4 or CBZ. PRIVACY No ads. No in-app accounts. Your comics, reading progress, bookmarks and notes stay on your device, and panel detection happens on the device too. Cloud sign-in tokens never leave the device. We collect anonymous crash reports (Sentry) and subscription state from the App Store — not a profile of what you read. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; we never see your card details. SUBSCRIPTION TritonPanels requires a subscription to open your library and read any comic. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel any time in your Apple ID subscription settings.
