Ratings and reviews

Works great but the website for it is done in some strange format that Google Translate can not translate the web page. Please provide an English version of the page. It works pretty well but on long vertical strips like manhwa's and such it can sometimes be too narrow to read and trying to zoom it doesn't always work. Wish they figured out a way to make Magnify work when using Vertical viewing options like Toon, Vertical, and Continous Vertical.

Bro I just wanted something to view AVIF images with offline. You saved me like hundreds of dollars from having to buy an Android 14 phone. AVIF is supposed to be this cool new revolutionary universal image format but devs refuse to software decode it for older phones?

What a great app! ;D I downloaded it after using 'maru' for a long time. It is extremely easy to see text and image files. Besides, it's very comfortable without ads!! But I'm sorry that the 'hwp' ,'docx' files are not available :(
