Paper Comic Reader vs Anyview

Paper Comic Reader is a fast, private, native reader for your CBZ comics. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking — just your comics, on your device. BUILT FOR READING • Open CBZ (ZIP) comic archives instantly. • Full-screen, paged reader tuned for smooth, high-frame-rate page turns on ProMotion. • A signature paper reading mode — warm paper texture, grain and show-through you can dial in. • Double-page spreads in landscape, pinch to zoom, tap or swipe to turn. • Jump anywhere from a page grid. YOUR LIBRARY • Discover and Recents carousels put the comic you reach for next front and centre. • Bookmark any page — each bookmark keeps a thumbnail so you find it at a glance. • Reads ComicInfo.xml metadata: series, issue, credits and a story index in a clean detail view. • A home-screen widget brings back the comic you read last. • Light and dark mode. BRING YOUR OWN COMICS • Import from anywhere the Files app can reach — your device, iCloud Drive, or a file server. • Point it at a folder and every comic shows up; each downloads when you open it, and a download can be removed again to save space while the entry stays. • See your CBZ covers as thumbnails right in the Files app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-in, no analytics, no data collection. Everything stays on your device.
