Manga Viewer - CBZ(CBR) Reader

Honestly when I used other manga reader apps or whatever they where kinda of complicated and very weird, however this one is very simple and easy to use, and I love the fact that you can have even more features for just a dollar, you don’t even have to do that annoying subscription thing you can just pay once and that’s it, I love that a lot, I highly recommend this app!!!!

Update: App is still great but I am a little suspicious as to why the app contacts a lot of outside domains. If you have app privacy report enabled you can see what I’m referring to. This app has a bunch of features and iCloud syncing which is amazing as you’re able to seamlessly read between different devices. One of my favorite features is image fill for portrait mode. My only small complaint is that whenever I’m not connected to internet/celluar, it takes a while for the manga to show up as it’ll be stuck on “this file is organizing please wait” (very minor not a big deal).

I’ve tried several comic reading apps over the years including Comic Zeal and Chunky. Chunky does a nice job, but I prefer Manga Viewer because of the number of settings that can be used to customize the reading experience. Even better for me is that it supports the Apple Keyboard. It’s very handy to have the iPad sitting upright with the keyboard folio and being able to navigate pages with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Wireless transfer over the same network works very well to import comics as well. PDFs of scanned books are handled without issue. I also like that the app continues to get support from the developers unlike other similar apps. (I’m looking at you Comic Zeal whose last update was 3 years ago!) The only additional feature I would like to see from Manga Viewer is an option to view the library of comics with larger (grid view) covers instead of just the tiny thumbnail in a list view. Just a small quibble that doesn’t take away at all from giving this a deserving 5 stars.
