Ratings and reviews

For me at least, this app has been absolutely top notch as a cb* reader. I get some people might find the extreme customizability in layout both in the reader and the file selector/manager a bit confusing at first, as may also the need to sync the app to your files, but once you figure it out, you can really appreciate it. The reader also scales images of different size rather well for a seamless reading experience which is something I've had other readers not handle well. 5*

Kuro is genuinely the best app for reading comics I've seen. The UI is sleek, the app is fast and optimizes large photos, it makes it easy to organise comics and the app size is so small. I couldn't ask for any more ❤️ I haven't seen any problems since I started using the app. It actually motivated me to start learning Kotlin in fact 😂 I've gotta build apps like this. Nice one Kuro!

Really great reader. Started using recently. I like the smoothness and simplicity of the app. It works really well. I like being able to group/see my comics by author, or by year, or by series. Really nice additions. Only suggested improvement would be ability to sync from a Google Drive folder instead of a local folder on the device? That's where I store them all anyway so this would be useful, even if a pro feature. Other than this minor tweak, it's great overall. 👍
