Overall the app is great on iPad and feels like a premium experience. It’s worth the money. I just have 2 major quality of life qualms which deduct a star. For one the organization of comics is inadequate without support for sup folders. This leaves the library feeling overly bloated. Secondly, you can’t select a panel from the comic to override the default cover page. The first page is default for the cover page icon. If your first page is a blank page in your file, then you will be seeing a lot of white. It would also be nice if you could upload custom cover icons as well. If these two features were implemented then the app would be perfect. Though this appears unlikely as there are reviews from a year ago requesting sub folders and nothing has changed on that front.

The actual comic reader experience is one of the best I’ve found on iPad. It’s simple but flexible and intuitive. The file management is just okay. Importing files is a bit finicky, and there are a few bugs around browsing and managing them that aren’t too intrusive, but make the experience a bit less streamlined than it probably could be. If importing a large number of files and wanting to organize them into categories, this is supported but not efficient. They have to be imported one at a time, and always seem to be added to the default category rather than the selected one.

I love the style and functionality of the app, and I love how easy it is to import folders full of comics. But it needs better organizational tools. I need to be able to create subfolders for the myriad Batman (for example) titles so I don’t have to scroll through thousands of collections just to read a certain series. With that addition, this would be a five star app.
