Panelly is a comic and manga reader that understands the speech bubbles. Tap a bubble to read its text, translate it into your language and hear it spoken — on your device. READ COMICS IN ANY LANGUAGE Panelly finds the bubbles on each page, recognizes the lettering and detects the comic's language automatically. Tap a bubble to see the original and its translation, or turn on translations right on the page and watch every line change over as you read. LOOK UP ANY WORD Tap a word in a bubble to look it up in your device's dictionary, Wiktionary or Wikipedia — with its dictionary form, meanings and examples. HEAR EVERY LINE Listen to a bubble in its original language with the voices built into your device — great for learning Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Spanish and more through the comics you love. SMART FRAME-BY-FRAME READING Panelly finds the frames on every page and takes you through them one by one, in the book's reading direction, with a mini map of the page. Tap the map to see the whole page again. MADE FOR MANGA, COMICS AND WEBTOONS • Manga mode reads right to left, webtoon mode scrolls vertically • Automatic double-page spreads, page curl or slide • Bookmark pages and add notes to them • Chapters, fullscreen reading and image filters • Settings for each book, and your place remembered in every one READ TOGETHER OVER WI‑FI Share a comic from your iPhone, iPad or Mac and open it in a browser on any phone, tablet or computer on the same Wi‑Fi. Pages turn in step with the app — no account, no upload, and sharing stops when you do. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a look — Sunrise, Newsprint, Thunder or Petal — each in light and dark, while the reader stays black so the art comes first. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY Import CBZ, CB7, PDF, EPUB and MOBI image books, or open files in place without copying. Search, sort, browse covers or a list, edit details and filter by progress and type. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Text recognition, translation and speech run on your device, and your comics are never uploaded. Only a word you choose to look up on Wiktionary or Wikipedia is sent to that site. WORKS ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC A sidebar library on iPad and Mac, keyboard shortcuts on Mac, and two-page reading on foldable-size screens. FREE TO START Every feature is free with the welcome comic and one comic of your own. Unlock unlimited comics with a single purchase — no subscription. Panelly starts with a short welcome comic that shows you around as you read it. Privacy Policy: https://letspeak.info/panelly/privacy/

The clearest difference is ads: Panelly at none against Jonggyeol's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
