YACReader - Comic Reader

You’re no longer able to sync files using google drive. You get a message saying, the app tried to access sensitive information. It’s a bit concerning but I emailed the dev(s) and they said} they’re working on a fix. Hopefully this issue can be resolved because it’s a good app. I contacted the dev(s) for help with this and received a quick response with a detailed explanation.

The biggest issue I’ve had is how confusing it is to use this app. It’s gesture based, which isn’t bad at all, but it can be very confusing to learn the gestures and navigate if you don’t know them. There is also the issue of buttons not being labeled, again making it difficult to know what they do. File management could also maybe be a bit easier Functionality of the app is great though, haven’t experienced any bugs

This app has incredible flexibility, and combined with a few other select apps allows for completely pc-free manga downloading and file transfer. Unlike any other app I’ve really seen on IOS, YACReader lets me be basically as free as I want. Which if Luffy has anything to say about it, is a good thing.

I thought this app would offer more since you have to buy it! I wish when we swiped down it wouldn’t close the comic and I wish there was a better way to see panels. The marvel app reads through the books automatically which is awesome. I thought this app might do that! I like how the swiping through the panels was better on the marvel app too. It may be better to just pay for the marvel app and ditch trying to read comics on here. Please get rid of closing the comic when swiping down. I want to see the next panel not close my comic! Thanks and god bless!

I have been using YACReader for years now. And I love it. The way you can organize your comics is the best way I have seen. And accessing the comics on my hard drive, remotely, is super easy. I definitely recommend this app to anyone looking for the best way to organize their digital comics.

I can consistently crash this app by flipping too quickly between the pages of a cbr file on a Samba share

I had to leave a review for this for anyone out there on the fence. I’ve been reading comics in the Kindle App (Comixology) but that wasn’t helping the comics I had that weren’t in Kindle. I was using Panels and just not pleased with the guiding reading feature and the import was OK. I found YAC reader based on some Reddit forums and this app is so worth the price - I’m frankly amazed it’s so reasonably priced for the functionality you get. 1) the YAC Library on my desktop keeps things organized so well, quickly imports comics, and makes it extremely easy to share to the reader I use in IOS. And 2) YAC Reader then is an extremely functional and easy to use reader that makes importing and syncing with your library a snap. Pay the price with confidence as you’re getting an amazing comic book reader with more functionality then you can imagine. Take the time to search the user manual as the developer has great guides for everything you need out there Thank you!

Crash prone, freezes, updates can break the app. Good idea, good attitude and receptive to criticism but just a little jank. Partly because I do not report bugs, and that’s on me. Today it’s working and one of my issue we’re fixed in the latest update…really great team! Hoping the best for the app.

I like all the options for importing methods, that’s very helpful. As long as your source file is high-quality, the images look nice and crisp (no weird hashing of screen tones in manga). Two things I REALLY wish this app supported: 1) Manga/comic ePUB files. I buy most of my manga as ePUBs, so the lack of ePUB support is probably my biggest complaint—this is what will keep me from using the app regularly. 2) Ability to change “pages-up” setting automatically upon rotation. It’s a pain to have to manually change the settings every time I want to quickly switch to a 2-page spread and back to 1-page portrait.

Exactly as advertised!
