Ratings and reviews

Good start but needs the following features to be usable should allow pinch to zoom being legally blind this feature is a requirement, isn't usable for me now. Bookmarks should operate like browser bookmarks, users should be able to add a bookmark at the location where the comics are after navigation. Have to find another comic book reader because of zoom but will go back to it when it's available very straightforward and works well

Does what it's supposed to. But it had full network access and views my connections. Sounds too close to spyware to trust without an explanation why they ask for this permission to even use the program without any way to opt-out! That it is, ...Open source is the only reason it has above 2 stars .

Please add Edge Width = None option; Zoom = Fit to Height is currently worthless because you accidentally change images every time you try to scroll side to side, even with "Wee small" Edge width set. You can already change images by tapping anyway.
