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

So I upgraded to the pay version mostly because while the ads really weren't bothering me, they have increased to every 5 or ten pages they pop, whatever but I had some credit so why not. I found customizing the app eat less user friendly than the free--I don't get it either. Contact the developer and instead telling me how to fix so I can swipe from a finished book to the next one he keeps sending me to a webpage to read pages and pages, and guess what? Didn't tell where to find the option.

I want to like this app, but it has issues. I store all my comics on a network drive and access via SMB. With CDisplayEx it has issues displaying certain pages of any random comic at any given time. Whereas another app called Comic Screen displays just fine via SMB. Having the paid version of CDisplayEx, I really want this to be my go to app, but this has been an issue for for some time, but it appears to not be an issue with my setup, but the app itself.

Awesome app I've used for years: simple, attractive design, very capable. One recent problem: for some reason switching from an old Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 to a new Tab S8 Plus caused the app to load files and thumbnails very slowly, and to re-load them repeatedly after they'd already been loaded. It's weird that on the faster device the app is much slower, and has hiccups.
