Positive review Great app but it crashes sometimes by anonym
Great app, it is great for reading comics better than others to me. Seems to open more files, able to go to the next comic, and allows resizing. I do not think other apps do but I could be wrong. It just crashes from time to time, say once a day with after reading 3-4 comics, so not super often. Not sure I would give it 5 stars but it is really close. 4/5
Positive review Lots of great features. by anonym
I like this app for all it does, only problem I have is that when I zoom in on the panels it scrambles the image. So I can only read the comic zoomed all the way out, or zoomed in with my fingers still on it so it doesn't scramble. Otherwise, I like the thumbnail generation and all other features. Best app I have found for comic viewing. tl;dr Best app I found for comic viewing, but zoom scrambles image. 4/5
Neutral review Black & White image on focus by anonym
Since the last updates, the images are turning black & white unless you go into the the "select page" menu and go back to the same picture you were. On each image. 3/5
Negative review Works but annoying by anonym
The best part of the app is the way it displays my collection. Easy to find and distinguish from diff comics. Biggest issue for me is the annoying accidental page turn or that page scroll that pops up from accidentally touching the screen. Also zooming, and page turning is suuuuuper slow and loading takes forever just for the next page, this is appalling and makes reading my comics more of a nuisance than a pleasure. 2/5
Positive review Great App by anonym
Really well done app! Simple design and easy to use. Quickest loading time and best sd card reader out there! Wish the thumbnail disolays were bigger, more attractive! (Ex: comixology setup) As for certain bugs, the screen is too sensitive at times. Every time I try to zoom in the menu pops up, which is a nuisance...And I do recommend full page display reading to others; trying to zoom in for each panel is quite difficult... 4/5
Positive review Simply the best, better than all the rest ! by anonym
EDIT: June 18, 2014. This app will not work well if you have KitKat 4.4.3 as it may not show all your thumbnails. It may also randomly crash if you delete more than one comic at a time. EDIT: April 15, 2014 this application hasn't been updated in over year and it may never be updated again. I've tried all the big names, new names, still nothing beats this. If the thumbnails were a bit bigger than it works be perfect for me. I keep going back to this one. Edit: Installed new update in January 2013. This is better then ever. The new landscape mode works fine but I only use the portrait mode. I've recommended this app so many times that I've lost count. I have an original ASUS Transformer TF101. I usually have about 500 -600 comics on my tablet at any given time on my tablet. I have used 5 or 6 of the popular reader and this is by far the easiest and a joy to use. It works fine before with Android Honeycomb and now it still works find so far with ICS update. This is the only comic reader you'll need. 5/5
Neutral review Adequate, Pretty, Slow by anonym
Komik has a nice, modern look and its features and settings cover the basics and a bit more in a straightforward way, but page turns are slow and the controls are limited. Zoom is glitchy and touch seems easily confused--are you turning, scrolling, zooming? Perfect Viewer has it beat on core performance and is waaaaaaay more customizable. I'd love to graft Komik's library onto PV's reader. 3/5
Neutral review Best interface out of all the comic viewers by anonym
Some cbr files there are pages it can't read and it gets stuck. Have tried them in Perfect Viewer and they work fine. 3 stars for an attractive, easy to use interface, but afraid I will be using Perfect Viewer (despite its ugly and confusing interface) as I know it can read all my files. Will use this again if it gets sorted in a future update. 3/5
Positive review Nice looking. Easy to use. Slow. Not very stable. by anonym
The UI is very nice and simple to use. The app is sluggish, particularly when changing pages and generating thumbnails (I know this isn't the device since other viewers are a lot faster). The app crashes on regular occasions (for example: every single time I delete a book!) 4/5
Positive review Best comic reader so far by anonym
This app is really great, I love the thumbnail browsing ability and the whole app has a good polished feel to it. The magnifying glass is a great idea, but feels clunky and the magnified view is usually worse than what I was already looking at. The magnification settings seem nonfunctional. I really wish I could set the pinch-zooming to stop at 100%, or some kind of 100% zoom option so I'm not reading a blurry comic. I can't wait to see this app improve, thanks for the hard work! 4/5
Positive review Best Viewer in the Play Store by anonym
Great comics viewer. Definitely the top viewer out of the popular apps. I love the integrated library/viewer. Makes my massive collection manageable. There are a few things that keep me from giving it a 5 star, however. I've experienced fairly frequent(though minor) stability issues. It often crashes, and then immediately asks me if I want to pick up where I left off. No biggie, but annoying. The thumbnail generation in library view takes FOREVER with a large collection. Still, it's well worth it. 4/5
Positive review Best comic reader I've used so far by anonym
Superb app. Host of features including good arrangement of comics and folders, shows which ones I'm currently reading and how much I've progressed, automatically turns double page spreads into horizontal full screen view (unlike ComicRack) and quick response while turning pages. And all this for free with minimal advert interruption. A must-have app. 5/5
Neutral review Uncontrollable!!! by anonym
The reader is good but HOW DO YOU CONTROL IT? Every time I try to scroll down a page in landscape mode fit to width, whenever I touch the screen, the page selection menu pops up either on left or right... That thing is making this so unusable... A good app but beyond your control... I should've given it 2 stars... 3/5
Positive review Thank you. by anonym
Works as a charm, by far the best app out there: simple, yet does everything it is required to do. I want to throw my monies at you for this, so if you implement a paid version (nothing extra, just maybe remove the ads), then I'll be the first to pay for it. You deserve it. 5/5
Positive review I like it but needs work by anonym
The bookshelf on this app looks good, but it needs more organizing options. Reading on this app is good. I like the magnify feature idea, but it's a bit glitchy and crashed a lot when I used it. I like it but it just needs a little bit more to be perfect. 4/5
Positive review better than comic rack by anonym
this works better for me than comic rack. comic rack is too sensitive and difficult to navigate the menu and back to the library. this program, komik is much better at handling page turn requests, getting back to the main menu and navigating to a different issue. Five stars for ease of use. 5/5
Positive review Gets the job done. Auto rotates with larger spreads. by anonym
I am happy it gets the job done easily and quickly. There are just some quirks that bug me. I would like it better that the hotspot to bring out the previews be only in the middle to avoid unintended actions while swiping to the next pafe 4/5
Positive review Best comic reader on mobile! by anonym
Its great, it has all the right options without being overloaded/bogged down. 5/5
Neutral review by anonym
I liked this app. But now, it's just problematic. It's always going black & white. I like the layout of the library, however, actual reading hasn't been all that good like it used to be. Now when I have my tablet in landscape mode to read at a much larger size..the pages are initially pixelated, and take some time to clear up, and sometimes don't. At this point, I usually have to go back a page and then return for it to be clear. Not a big deal, but annoying after a while. Also the black & white issue is rather annoying. I'm uninstalling for now. Going to try another app. It was good while it lasted. No hard feelings, just hope it can be made better. 3/5
Positive review Best comic reader out but with flaws. by anonym
This is the best comic reader available soi love it for that but it has some very large annoyances. I cannot get swipe-to-change-page to work consistently. Most of the time it brings up the little page selection menu and I have no idea why. I've been doing a lot of experimenting to try and just get the app to simply turn the page but no luck. Any help? 4/5
Neutral review Good app - weird zoom by anonym
Very happy (overall) with this app, however, while reading on my Nexus 7, it will (apparently) randomly zoom into a section of the page. I've attempted to turn it off, to no avail. If I want to zoom, I'll pinch - I don't need the app to do it for me. 3/5
Neutral review Good app but.... by anonym
what is with all the blurriness when scrolling through images? I am on the latest build of android and I am experiencing this serious flaw. Has no one else out there noticed this? It is enough of a problem that it is fatiguing to the eyes. Aside from that this is a good app that I WOULD HAVE purchased. However, I cannot recommend it over ACV as it stands now. 3/5
Positive review Full screen immersive mode would be perfect by anonym
It would be great if the full screen I motion mode, that way you would get even more out of the screen with the notification and virtual buttons eating up a considerable chunk of real estate. 4/5
Neutral review awesome app BUT: by anonym
i really like the viewer, its clean, simple, beutiful, but there is one downside: when i scroll around the picture in landscape mode the picture quality gets really bad until i release my finger from the screen. when thats fixed, i will rate it 5 stars. 3/5
Positive review Pretty awesome! by anonym
This app is really is great! So much better than similar apps which require each comic to be added manually, beautiful too. Just a couple of hitches - the zoom tool doesn't really work for me, it doesn't support PDFs and covers aren't generated for folders containing folders. Otherwise awesome! 4/5
Positive review Fantastic by anonym
Images load fast and look amazing on nexus 10. Excellent reader with great support. Dev actually listens to feedback and implements changes would give 10 stars!!!!!!!! 5/5
Positive review Slow loading by anonym
I love this app. The best comic viewer on play store and i've tried many. However I have found that while reading my comics and you start to get to page 14 of comic, it starts to load longer when you swipe to change the page. You fix that lag in page change and I'll upgrade to a 5 rating. 4/5
Positive review One of the best comic readers on android by anonym
So far your app is the best I've seen on android. If minor glitches will be polished I would rate it 5/5 but right now app crushes to often on my Moto X and two figure gesture for magnifier is horribly implemented as well as rest of control schemes. 4/5
Positive review Awesome. Needs some tweaking though by anonym
This app is smooth quick and awesome all in one. One minor thing that prompted this review: sorting. I have a comic series that goes 1-101, and after issue 10, instead of 11, the next issue is 100. I couldnt find any other way to sort either, by name, date or anything like that. I suppose I could just rename my files to read 010, 011, 012, etc to fix my issue, but having a basic optional function such as sorting would be a nice feature. 4/5
Positive review It's buggy but smooth by anonym
I hate jagged scrolling, this is the only reader I could find without that problem, but two fingers to zoom? How the hell are u supposed to read the zoomed text when ur fingers are covering it? Lol hope they remove that feature to useless memmory 4/5
Negative review Keeps crashing :/ by anonym
As soon as I opened a comic through this app I was really happy given its functionality and ease of use. But everytime I rotate the screen, the app exits saying " file could not be loaded" . i would have loved to give a 4 or 5 but unfortunately it's a single star to bring the glitch to the concerned people's notice. 1/5
Positive review Only one issue... by anonym
Larger files seem to say "Loading..." indefinitely. Other than that it's perfect. Wish I could read some of my trade volumes though. 4/5
Positive review Very stable by anonym
This is a fantastic app! I have used a few comic readers on my nexus 4, but this one never fails me. It is simple to use and very reliable. Maybe if the zoom function was a bit better it would be 5 stars. 4/5
Neutral review Nice UI, not so nice picture by anonym
Takes a long time to show page in full res; when zooming blurs the page. Quite nice UI (except for the annoying page selection on the right) 3/5
Negative review Horrible,grotesqe by anonym
So every time I get on it it has a force close plus it confuses me and I got a really fast phone so I know that ain't the problem,so like the whole app is boogi,blank,butt,stank,dumb the whole app is slow....layla out 1/5
Positive review Simple to use. Does what it advertises. Advertisement on the bottom is not a nuisances. Best of all, its free and it doesn't harass you to do anything like other apps by anonym
Crashes when I try to use Komik app to delete my read mangas. Not a big deal since I can manually delete them via connect the tablet to the computer. 5/5
Positive review Love this app! by anonym
It's fast, easy to use, remembers how much I've read and looks good. One of my favourite apps, simply brilliant! Maybe ya'll can introduce wallpapers next for the home page. Either way, great job guys! 5/5
Positive review this is a great app but missing something by anonym
hi i've been using this app since came to play store, but in the lates updates i've notice a bug, when you erase a file run into a error the app close and you have to open it again, but if you try to erase more than 1 files run into the error again but doesn't arase any of the files selected. other than that the apps is great. 4/5
Positive review Great app, best comic viewer I've used by anonym
This app has worked perfectly ever since I first installed it. Love the organization and the thumbnail views. The only improvement I could suggest is an option to select which thumbnail is displayed on the face of each sub folder, it's a minor thing that I think would improve this app just that much more, but it's already perfect anyways so thanks and great work on this one. 5/5
Negative review Buggy after update by anonym
Whenever I use landscape mode on my note 3, pages go black and white. I really like this app, but this is the score it gets until it gets fixed. 2/5
