Ratings and reviews

Completely unusable on my device. Pages took way too long to load up, even after lowering cache size like I saw the dev suggested (14,10,8,5mp) to the point I gave up. Then I went to uninstall it and exited the app, and my apps failed to display at all for a long while. Once they finally did, I uninstalled, but my phone had heated up over 167 degrees. It normally never gets over about 153 or so, and that's only when something unusual is going on. So I'm definitely not trying this one again.

Why this app remained hidden from search results for me for so long, I have no idea. Plain and simple : NOTHING ELSE COMPARES. This app has just about anything you would want out of a comic reader, and then some. While the free version has ads, they are EXTREMELY INFREQUENT, with about 1 per hour in my experience, and they are easy to close without click traps. To get dark mode, you also need the paid version, but most other things are there! Fast, easy viewing, customized library, readable UI!

This is one of the best comic viewers I've used on my tablet. It's very speedy and functions perfectly. The only issue I have with it is the video ads. It's very annoying reading a comic book in silence then having a very loud video ad appear. This was a terrible design decision by the developer to get you to upgrade to the paid version. That said, I recommend installing this version of the app to make sure that it works on your device, then upgrading to the paid version. Skip this version entirely.
