## ComicReader Description
Finally a comic reader for iPad done right! ComicReader was designed with one goal in mind: providing the best experience for comic fans with large collections. This is an open source App based on ComicFlow, which stopped receiving updates and wasn’t optimised for the latest devices.

Features:
- Polished interface
- Can handle very large comic collections (1,500+ comics and dozens of GB) without crashing or becoming unusable
- Imports new comics in the background
- Doesn't need to pre-process comic files before you can read them
- Supports .cbr, .cbz and pdf files


Importing Comics - iTunes with USB cable:
- Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes
- In the Applications section, select ComicReader in the list at the bottom
- Drag and drop comic files into the Documents area
- If ComicReader is already running, display the settings window (upper-right button) and tap on "Update Library"

Importing Comics - Web Server over WiFi:
- Make sure your iPad and computer are on the same WiFi network
- Launch ComicReader
- Display the settings window (upper-right button) and set the Web Server setting to "Website" mode
- Open the provided URL in a web browser on your computer
- To upload comics as part of series, first create a folder then upload the comic files into it
Instead of a web browser, if you prefer to use a WebDAV client (e.g. Transmit or ForkLift for Mac or CyberDuck for Mac / Windows), set the Web Server setting to "WebDAV" mode and connect the client to the provided URL.
-Alternatively you can use the "Add Files" from the settings menu to use the build in browser which will allow you to add from the files app.



Deleting or changing a comic or series status:
- Tap and hold on a comic thumbnail or a series thumbnail
- Choose the appropriate option in the pop-up menu that appears

ComicReader (like ComicFlow before it) is also the first (and only?) open-source comic reader for iPad: get the full source from  forked from  under GPL v3 license. 


ComicReader improves from ComicFlow by adding a dark theme, improvements to the efficiency and adapts to all modern iOS devices, taking full advantage of Apple Silicon.

## ComicReader Reviews in United States

### *---- "Don’t waste your time."
It lost my place on one comic and now loads a blank inventory. Restarting app does not fix.
-- good egnouhf, 2026-05-04

### **--- "Used to work not anymore"
Was my favorite reader before name change. Now all comics disappear. And blank screen.
-- erico147, 2026-04-15

### *---- "Garbage"
Every time I tried to upload something both the source app and this app crashed. I tried from Dropbox and Google Drive. Avoid.
-- SuitablyAmused, 2025-07-06

### *---- "Comic books keep disappearing"
There is serious bug where comic books keep disappearing and require rescanning the library.
-- nickd14, 2025-02-16

### *---- "Does not work on macos"
I cannot even open any comic file
-- synox, 2024-08-31

### **--- "Used to work …   Not anymore"
This new “update” opens to a blank inventory, I don’t know the secret of seeing my books, but I’m already tired of trying and it’s only been two days.
-- JHayes328, 2024-05-02

### *---- "Lacks key function"
This app doesn’t seem to have a way to view or read externally stored files.
-- MicR088, 2024-02-17

### ***-- "Excellent but series doesn’t work"
The app works great on ios16 but does not group comics by series, nor allow manual grouping. 

Other minor features that would help is a progress indicator, I read half a comic and it still says new on it, in the list. No page count progress bar would be more helpful if it showed current/total pages instead of dots.
