You can simply browse through your folders to find and read your comics, but if you need, the management of your library is integrated! simply indicate where your comics are, and the reader will group the comics by series or offer you the next album to read in your collection. An integrated search will allow you to find a volume instantly.

The reader also allows you to connect to network shares, preload files on your phone or tablet, and perform searches.

Ratings and reviews

After trying multiple comic reading apps (all of which had their own pros), this app has been the best overall, with the most features that I find beneficial. Even the free version is great. The only issue I have is that I cant connect it to my Google Drive, but that isn't even the apps fault since Google is the one that restricted access.

Update 2: Developer was very responsive and helpful. The app is nearly perfect. All I wish is that the hide/show thumbnails button can be added to continuous scrolling mode. Update 1: No hide/show thumbnails button (no button 10). Is it a bug? Original review: Cannot directly jump to certain page or review page thumbnails and choose one page like perfect viewer does. Also, how can I control with S pen? Didn't find as any settings for it.

I used to use comicat for sorting and reading my comics, however it does not work on my current os. So I switched to this. The UI I feel is clunky and is not as well organized or "clean looking" as comicat. I wish you could set the display up like a shelf like in comicat. The functionality seems a bit limited as well.
