Ratings and Reviews
Very good
Best app on iOS!
There are better alternatives
Library is basically useless since it doesn’t understand what series and chapters are, and doesn’t understand that you’re reading a series after you’ve read a chapter in it, since it just sees a bunch of folders and files.
I miss panels view working
This used to be the best way to read comics on your iPad. Panels view was a game changer, reading was now a better experience with this app than with a physical book. now it no longer works when reading Manga right to left as after the panels of a page have been read through it will flip to the previous page instead of the next.
the accuracy of the panels area has also gotten worse that I don’t understand what has gone wrong. it’s such a shame. I wish I could roll back to an older version of panels. 😞
I come back every now and then in the hopes that the problems have been fixed but it’s been broken for years now.
Developer Response ,
Hi, we are sorry about the bad experience. We appreciate your honest feedback. PanelsView has always been an experimental feature, and it hasn’t been our priority for a while.
Unfortunately, we can’t go back to the previous version because the ComputerVision library we used is incompatible with the latest iOS versions. We switched to a machine learning approach, and it requires more work than we anticipated.
We want to go back to it in the future, but we’ve been focused on other things that we think provide more value to most users.
Hopefully, future versions will live up to expectations.
