Needs to save bookmarks and highlighted text when sharing
Excellent app the only thing missing is it dose not save the highlighted text or bookmarks when you try to send/share it to another device or email.
Otherwise this is one of the best comic/book reader on the planet.
Note to the developers: Please update the above request thank you in advance
Absolutely Brilliant
This is by far the best for user experience. I have been using it for years and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody and everyone. The only thing that could be improved is it being able to sync with my iPad.
Excellent reader app
This app works great. Covers many formats and makes reading typical comic formats a breeze. Highly recommend!
A viewer with 2 page view
One of the only apps to offer a 2 page view on the iPhone, which is a great feature for magazines etc. that have pictures which spread across pages. Would be great to have a slideshow feature with variable timer, and the ability to manually rearrange the bookshelf, but overall a very good app.
Excellent app for reading Arabic PDFs
This app is excellent allowing you to read from right to left so very helpful for those reading PDFs in Arabic language
Perfect at what it does
Does a great job of displaying PDFs two pages at a time in landscape view. The page curl is a nice touch. Every other PDF reader seems purely focussed on business users, to the detriment of those of us who read for pleasure. I'm really pleased I tried it out.
10 star product!
This app is perfect if you regularly read - or proof read - PDF versions of magazines or newsletters where the content goes across both pages as a spread. Using iPad in portrait mode - you read page by page: turn to landscape, and you see the two page spread and can turn the pages as in printed version.
Utterly brilliant - and free. The in app purchase is not required for doing as I've just described.
Does what it says on the tin
Got this to replace something that stopped working with IOS 8 (from totally unresponsive developers) and so far it's been stable and works well. Catering for Zip files is a plus. What I would like to see added, is a reconfigurable shelf space, where I could choose to display fewer comics at a larger size.
Nic
Not OS7 compatible
accidentally upgraded Ipad to OS7 ... App now crashes on opening. Pity, was good up until then.
now looking for alternative
Good while it lasted
Dropbox files no longer work and it always crashes
