Comics Book Reader Reviews

by Abarax66

ComicsBookReader no longer shows all of my comics in one of my folders, even though all of them are in .cbr format, and have shown up in the past. I’m connected through my Dropbox account as no other cloud service seems to function at all.

Also, ComicsBookReader has not been updated in over three years. I contacted the developer almost two months ago, and have yet to hear back. As such, I’m reporting ComicsBookReader to Apple as abandonware.

I own the pro version of ComicsBookReader. I recommend that others avoid paying to unlock ComicsBookReader unless the developer updates it accordingly.

Maybe I would have upgraded to premium had you given me a chance to experience ComicsBookReader without CONSTANTLY interrupting my reading with obnoxious pop up ads. Instead I’ve deleted ComicsBookReader and will seek out another. I’m not opposed to paying for quality apps, but you don’t get my money using such tactics.

i’ve been using ComicsBookReader to read comics for a while and then i updated my ipad and now it crashes whenever i try to extract a comic book file

ComicsBookReader is well thought out and full of good features. I pooped for the premium version too quickly though, unfortunately the viewer won’t expand to fill the full width of the screen in landscape mode. I’d be fine with it just going to the “notch” on my iPhone X, but it’s clearly written for older screen sizes, which is a bummer. I know there hasn’t been an update in a while, but please take a minute to fix this!!!

Recent purchase, but now after less than a week ComicsBookReader continues to crash on start up. Over a year since a new update release. Could probably stand some optimization and bug squashing on Comic Reader with apple updating their OS recently.

While it was working.
Don’t mind the price point, app works and does the things I want it to. Just needs some tending to. Where are the developers?

The add is very annoying I enjoy it free but I am not going to spend 6 dollars on ComicsBookReader to read my comics. It is good it allows me to read a lot but as soon as you press on anything it will remind you, you are using a trial which was not stated in ComicsBookReader description. Other than that I enjoy it

Overall this is very good and has replaced another app that wasn't as good. I have only minor issues:
- When moving to a new page, if you were at the bottom of the current page you end up at the bottom of the new page and have to scroll up to the top.
- The OneDrive interface is slow and usually doesn't remember what folder I am in. Would be great to add a folder to the main screen.
- Files will occasionally download from OneDrive incorrectly and show as corrupted.
- Managing cached data could be better, I've occasionally had a bad download and had to clear the entire cache to fix it, would be good if I could remove specific files from the cache.
Despite these issues, it does its job well and opens just about anything I've thrown at it.

When it’s free there are to many ads. I don’t like having to buy the ability to read other formats plus the add free version.

App itself works without much issue. Only complaint are the ads that pop up every 2 or 3 taps on the screen; most which are complete accident.

Wish it would be a little easier to use or have faq section.

Browser could be better. Also, a different color scheme option would be nice.

Just started using ComicsBookReader. It seems to work well. It also opens some *.cbr files that my last reader wouldn’t.

This may well be a five-star app. I’ll know better after I’ve used it for a while.

Enjoying ComicsBookReader , however I think many manga readers would love the option of being able to flip the page order so pages that comics pages can be flipped from right to left rather than the western default of left to right.

I Purchased Digital comic books on eBay on a Mega iCloud (free 50g Service) That all the comic book are stored works great with comic book reader because you can share a copy to comic book reader app.

by Astromanstudio

I have used almost every comic reader app in the store, and this is the best so far. The ease of loading files, and more importantly organizing them is head and shoulders above the competition.

ComicsBookReader’s download browser and file manager combo is perfect for downloading and reading comics straight from the internet.

by Sylviaio

I downloaded my comics from websites, enjoying watching them frequently. Definitely a great app

by Passion Pearl

Extremely easy to use, not a lot of guesswork. Only complaint is I cant find a way to seamlessly transition from one comic to the next.

Unlike iComics it loads pages instantly. Pro version is 3x the price of iComics but at least reading a comic isn’t frustrating

Suits all my needs and excellent cloud sharing features
