Welcome to iComic, the premier application for reading comics on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
iComic makes great use of the multi-touch function for simple and effective page navigation and zooming to provide the best portable comic book read you will find. iComic displays high resolution comic pages (jpg, tif, or png image files) contained inside compressed zip or cbz format archives. Using the built-in download function, comics can be downloaded from the internet or from a personal server and stored locally on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Your downloaded comics are stored on your device and so are always available for reading, even when you have no internet connection.
As iTunes resizes images to a compressed format, iComic is also useful for displaying images for other uses e.g. maps, high detailed photos and ebooks (convert your pdf books to jpeg and you have a perfect reader for those large pdf files, normally unreadable due to the high memory requirement).
iComic currently provides three methods for turning pages: swiping your finger on the screen; by taps in the screen corners using the Corner-Tap method; or by Multi-Touch (tap once to page forward, twice to page back). Zooming is by the familiar pinch method used in Safari and other applications or by double tapping the screen when in Corner-Tap mode. The application is very stable and can easily handle zip files up to 60MB with infrequent problems observed with files of much larger size. Individual image files inside the zip files are constrained to a maximum 3 million pixels (e.g. 3,000 pixels high x 1,000 pixels wide or equivalent) though for the sake of battery conservation much smaller sizes (~1000 pixels high) are generally used.

IComic FAQ
Is IComic free?
Yes, IComic is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is IComic legit?
🤔 The IComic app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I used this app for years, and it runs well. But over the years, I got more and more comic books with high quality digital files. In which, the JPEG files have a resolution of around 6000 x 4000 pixels. And this app cannot handle them. It is pity.
One of the better ones out there
I've used this app for quite a few years and it has served me well. It could do with a little revamping in terms of newer features, and maybe make managing favorites a little better (exporting, marking favorite while viewing, etc).
I use it for viewing various comics in archives where I mark my favorites and review those months later.
I don't use all the features of the app so I can't say much on the rest of it.
A trusty, old pal...!
Sure, updates happen at a relaxed schedule, but major kudos to the author for keeping this app alive after all these years.
앱지원
10.3 부터 앱지원 안된다는데 .. 잘쓰고 있는데 제발 지원해주길 ㅠㅠ 이게 짱임 !!
Disappointment
I am a waste of money...
rotation bug
after using "fix right", relaunch the app, the portrait mode screen is rendered horizontally with extra black space. pls fix
Great manga reader
I don't buy apps often so whenever I do, I make sure I get the best one. iComic is one of my most used apps on the iPad and the best manga reader I've found so far. It's also always being updated, which i think is great and something i consider when purchasing apps.
The BEST!!
The best comic book reader ever!
The only wish for the developer is about the app icon.
Please make icon image Retina-friendly. Fuzzy book boundary in the app icon looks not so cool.
After update iO7
The status bar isn't disappear although i turn off that option. Is it bug?
Dropbox support makes it much easier to use.
Now I don't need to connect to my PC every time to copy new comics anymore. Also no need to worry about the limited storage space on my phone.
