Smart Comic Reader App Description & Overview

What is smart comic reader app? A different kind of comic reader that offers a better way to read comics on a smaller screen.

How it works:
1. Import any comic into the app.
2. Double tap on a panel and watch the app automatically detect its boundaries and zoom in on it.
3. Tap on the side of the screen to easily move to the next panel. If needed, the app will rotate the comic to make maximum use of your screen space.

Key Features
============
Smart Reader:
- Automatically zoom in and move between panels for a smooth reading experience.
- Works with any comic, western or manga, no matter the art style. Panels do not need well-defined edges to be detected.
- Always stay in control, let the app guide you over the page while you can always manually zoom and pan.

Comic Collection:
- Import comics from anywhere and organize your comic collection.
- Comics are stored in iCloud to save storage space and keep your collection in sync across devices.
- Your Smart Comic Reader collection is a regular folder on your iCloud Drive that you can access and manage from any iCloud connected device, like a Mac, or a Windows device using iCloud for Windows.
- Also works locally if iCloud is disabled.
- Supports comics in CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR and PDF formats.

And many more features to come!

So many questions?. Why isn’t every comic reader like this? Why is this app free? Why isn’t everyone using it? Why can’t I pay a one-time fee for OPDS import?

A request. Thank you for this wonderful app. Its minimal design and seamless performance make it one of the best app for iPad. *** I have a request from you. Can you add Live Text feature to it? It would be helpful for using dictionary during reading comics. ***

Best comic reader on IOS, hands down. This is your best option for reading comics on an iPad or iPhone. The iCloud integration is really good. Turning pages & zooming in & out of panel to panel viewing is intuitive. If you have a bunch of books formatted as CBR or CBZ this is a nobrainer.

Only Comic App that syncs comics between app & iCloud Drive. LOVING your app so far. Best option is it created folders with my PD comics on my iCloud DRIVE & it syncs both ways. (NO other app does this)... Drop PDF in App & it uploaded to comic folder on iCloud Drive. Dropped PDF Comic in iCloud Drive folder & it sync’d automatically into my app.., Would like to see option within my collections folders to see a LIST view that would show more of the title name with a smaller view of the cover. Keep up the great work...

It actually zooms in!!!. It zooms in automatically and you can scroll through the panels. You won’t have to squint your eyes or manually zoom in to read the text. The only app that does this so far. I just wish I could turn off the rotate feature

Does the job!. I have a number of digital comics and those app does a good job with them. I have no complaints!

Blown away. The app is clean, follows Apple’s design guidelines, and feels like it was written in SwiftUI, but the most impressive part is the smart panel zoom feature. It’s actually really, really good. The animations switching from panel to panel add some extra drama to the experience. Hard to explain, but it elevates the experience.

The best of the best comic readers. I like to read fleetway sonic comics online. It’s convenient, but some of the page is usually not readable. THIS is where this amazing app comes to use. It supports cbr, cbz, and best of all, Pdf files. I can read comics clearly without any struggle easily. This is the best comic reader for ios, and I definitely recommend it.

Extremely cumbersome page turning. For some reason, new downloaded comics can’t be opened in Chunky, so didn’t wanna pay for another comic reader, so found this. No brightness options or automatically grouping by title or author, but could live with those. However, simple page turning is REALLY CUMBERSOME. You can’t page turn by a simple swipe as in Chunky, have to tap. Worse, unless you like reading only in the default zoom percentage, the tap won’t work. After having to zoom and zoom out for every page after just one issue, I’m done. Wasted hours downloading new comics. You get what you pay for

Get this app!!. Literally tried all of the comic readers even spent money trying to find the best one. Whether you have an iPhone or iPad this app works for them all gloriously. I use the cloud backup which 10/10 the best. I love every feature this app currently has and just upgraded to 120FPS, so thankful for this!

Best comic reading app. Amazing job, only thing I can ask for is native Google Drive support with the ability to directly “stream” comics instead of importing and downloading. Will definitely pay and support you for that

So far so good. The auto panel detection has been really good so far. Currently reading comics from the 60s with more strict panels. Will update when I get into more modern comics with more complex panels.

Great App. I don’t write reviews, but the greater of this app deserves every positive review. I have seen paid apps with worse features then this. Awesome work.

How is this free?!. This is awesome, and better than other apps that are paid for. I don’t understand how this is free…

Great minimal design. The panel-to-panel mode is a joy to use, and a great, creative use of machine learning. I also appreciate the clean native design, the well considered settings, and the fact that no data is collected. Bravo!

Best comic reader for the iPad!!. This is my go to app for all my comic reading. Easy to navigate either full page or by panel. The interface is non-intrusive and so simple but elegant.

Best one I know. I’ve tried countless readers out there but none are as nice as SCR. Not only does it accept any format, but it also maintains your precise location without slowing anything down. Its actually my goto for important pdf documents that I want to maintain my place in. I’m studying for my life insurance license and need to be able to pause it like a video game. I can effortlessly pick up exactly where I left off and keep on going. If I want a break I can switch to a comic and relax. Thanks for a wonderful and simple to use reader. It works awesome on my ipad.

Amazing!!!. Wish ratings had decimals so I could give it a 4.5/5 or heck, even a 4.9/5. This app is AWESOME! The UI is great, very minimal and clean. The panel-to-panel reading is so cool and I love how it integrates with iCloud so you can pick up your reading on other devices. If other services get supported like Google Drive, this will be a 5/5. Great job!

Wish they add a scrolling option. 1st of all, I LOVE this app. Well made app, good UI, and it connects to iCloud! I was just hopping that they could add scrolling option for page turning. Now it only flips pages. I don’t mind it when I’m reading comics, but for some kind of documents and textbooks I prefer scrolling because the pages are connected right to left.

Impressive. The algorithm or AI or whatever that powers this app is genuinely impressive. It will even recognize panels within panels and so far hasn’t gotten the order wrong on me. As a 13 Mini owner I really appreciate this app- gone are the days of awkwardly scrolling around zoomed in pages. Reading comics at work will never be the same!

THE best comic reader on iOS. Smart Comic has everything I want out of a comic reader, auto-syncing through iCloud, iPhone and iPad versions, an easy way to read on iPhone, and an excellent interface design. The smart zoom on panels is fantastic; you can buzz through a page on iPhone. I can’t believe this is free, honestly. The app creator should seriously consider adding new functionality as a premium upgrade because they deserve some compensation for the time they put into this. Auto-sorting and pulling metadata from a comic database would be the only things I can think of to improve upon this one.

Truly the Best. I had tried out Panels and found it wouldn’t reliably zoom into individual panels of the comic I had downloaded. I figured it was because the comic was an “older style”, so maybe the less defined panel borders were harder for it to pick up on; I just muscled through. I decided to try this app and lo and behold it immediately did what I wanted, label zoomed into individual panels reliably, in order, and rotated wide panels for optimal viewing. Not to mention it didn’t lag in page transitions. This app is truly the best, it is exactly what I needed, look no further.

Good reader. Is a really good reader, is fast so i can transfers tons of comics at once through itunes and has complete iCloud integration which makes transfers really comfortable. the only thing i see missing is the ability to reorder comics manually. right now they only rearrange themselves in alphabetical order which can be a pain if you need to read more than one comic in sequence

Simply the best. I’ve been looking for yrs for a smart view comic reader and this is it . Amazing works perfect .

This app deleted my entire collection. This was my go to app for so long. It was incredible and has all the features you could need. But I recently opened it to find that, without warning, it deleted my entire collection. Every last comic, gone. I went through a long and painstaking process of getting them organized and in chronological order, as well as separated into different collections by series, and now all of that is gone. Won’t be relying on this app again.

Great app, just missing one feature though. I really like the app, it’s miles away from the competition. The only thing missing for me (and I don’t know if there’s some way of doing it and I haven’t figured it out) it’s the ability to move folders inside other folders so I can get everything in order. But that’s the only thing so far that bugged me.

Been Wishing for an app like this for 10 years!. As someone who’s been reading comics digitally for a decade now. The ability to use panel-to-panel reading with your own comics is huge! I can’t even express how much I’m loving this app. I always wished that this technology existed and to randomly stumble on this app a few days ago and discover that we have already arrived in this amazing future… my mind was blown. So happy with it. Honestly the happiest I’ve ever been with a new app.

Awesome. App is butter. Super satisfying to read comics with. Love the iCloud sync and easy to import for offline viewing. How is this free?? Thank you! Please add ability to manually arrange order, and also a tip jar.

Love the app! Got 2 suggestions.. 1. Add support for syncing with other cloud storage solutions for us who use OneDrive, Dropbox etc. 2. Add an option when viewing panel by panel to show the whole page when you first open it, and the option to show the whole page after the last panel on a page.

This the one!. 5 Stars ! Easy to use . Store all of my cbr files on iCloud and easily open them with this app. NO ADDS!

Exactly what Ive been looking for. Ive been reading comics on my ipad for years using various cbr readers and this is the one that finally meets the mark and fulfills all my prerequisites for a great comic reader. Excellent! Im surprised at how under the radar it is, this deserves to be the number 1 comic reader on the app store!

Great App. Does everything you would want. Double page when in horizontal view, zoom mode that follows from panel to panel. Continues to the next comic in a series folder without having to leave the current comic . It also does a reasonable job of folder management, my only suggestion would be the ability to attach thumbnails to folders so it isn’t as visually jarring from single issues. But overall fantastic app.

The best comic reader there is!. This has everything the others do not. Good file management, full resolution with no downsampling or downscaling, Split View on iPad, etc. Worth every penny!

Undisputed Best!. Smart Comic is honestly amazing. It is undoubtedly the very best comic/manga reader on IOS and its free! The only change I would make is for the, to add a paid version because this level of quality deserves to be rewarded. Keep doing what you guys are doing because it incredible!

Amazing for Panel by Panel. Literally perfect for reading manga with the iPhone mini with the focus mode that goes panel by panel and auto switches orientation for the best view

It’s great, but one problem. The app is great. I love that I put make collections within collections so my library doesn’t become convoluted with spin-offs and tie-ins. The panel by panel navigation is broken, however. Makes it difficult to read on a phone. The error I’m getting is “Error detecting panels. Unable to load model” followed by what looks like a directory location. I’m happy to send a screenshot if there is an email I can use for you. Thanks!

Love this app. I love this app this is the only free comic reader I found that doesn’t show a big watermark while your reading

Fantastic for Manga. I have all my of digital manga backed up as .CBZ files and this does an awesome job of importing through iCloud files. If the developer wanted to make a premium paid version (one time fee NOT subscription) for a few extra features, I’d happily throw some money to support.

Simply the best. I have a huge collection of digital comics I’ve been acquiring from Humble Bundle over the years. Before this app, there was no comfortable way to read them on my phone, since I prefer smaller devices. This app works better than some of the comic readers made by much larger companies. Plus, it doesn’t collect data. What I read stays between me and myself. When I say this is the best comic reader in the store I do not mean that it is the best in its category. I mean it is the best. Full stop.

Absolutely amazing app. Simple and to the point. I love it. It would be nice if it supported OPDS, but they give access to files so thats still really simple. Feels really good to use. Would highly recommend

Great for mobile screens. This is a really nice app and quite unique. Panel by panel navigation makes reading comics on the phone and other small screens possible. My only quibble, if I have one at all, is that the double page view doesn’t allow me to shuffle the left and right pages. Sometimes the spreads are out of order. Controlling whether the book starts on a recto or verso, like Acrobat Reader does, would really make this program perfect.

ACTUAL BEST COMIC/MANGA READER. works seamlessly with my icloud drive. the app is so polished like insanely polished. love how it auto downloads the next chapter and how tilting your phone works with dual page spreads. can’t thank the dev or devs enough for this app. so many features with no ads or payments or subscriptions needed what else could you want?? 6/5

Brilliant! Guided reading works a charm!. The "guided reading" feature is great! I have been looking for an app to read my existing digital comics while on the treadmill. I have my iPad connected to a big screen tv and now I can do one of my favorite things (reading comics) while doing one of my least favorite things (treadmill). I even use Smart Comic Reader with IOS voice control to pan the comic panels with my voice - no touching! Just be careful. My wife recently heard me say, "Swipe left" over and over again for 45 minutes. She said it sounded like I was on Tinder.

Request. Can you add page animations please? Also, the ability to change the background from black to white while reading? Thank you.

Great feature. Needs a few things though: Color correction for old comics like Chunky has, an edge cropper like YACReader has and folders need to have a grid view option.

It’s Free and Does Exactly What’s Expected!!. If you don’t have the money to buy other Readers this is the best option!

Best comic reader on iPhone. The auto zoom to panels works so well, it makes reading on an iPhone so easy and nice!

Have Gone Through 5 Comic Readers, This Is The Best One. limited ads, perfectly smooth scrolling and detecting panels, unlike any other comic reading app I’ve used.

My favorite iPad comic reader. I’ve tried several iPad comic readers and this one is the best. The panel to panel reading works better really well. I wish that the Marvel Unlimited reader worked as well as this one.

Awesome. This is my new reader. The focused reading is the best here. Chunky is a close 2nd but I’m making the switch. Great product

Finally a good comic reader app!. This works so well, better than most other comic apps!

New user. Just started using this app for DRM free comics. All free with all the functionality you need. So far, so good.

Perfect way to read comics on a phone. I tried a bunch of comic readers apps on my iPhone and this one is absolutely the best. I love that when I choose to rotate my phone, the app stays focused on the panel I was reading.

Very good so far. Can you please add folders within folders like I want folders for my dc and marvel but then in dc folder have a sub folder containing all my Batman comics and then another sub folder with all superman and so on. Only thing I can think of to make the app better, Thanks.

The best. The panel by panel mode makes smart phone reading possible and the iCloud syncing is super simple. I like to switch between my phone when I’m out and my iPad while I’m home. For me this is the perfect app

Outstanding!. I’m amazed and grateful to the developers that this app is free. Thank you! I was an avid user of Comic Zeal but it’s become antiquated, so I went hunting for a replacement. Smart Comic fit the bill in almost every way. I say “almost” because what would make this a 5-star app is if they enabled connectivity to other cloud storage services like Google Drive, either directly or via the Apple Files app. That would make it the perfect solution because Smart Comic’s functionality is near perfect in every other way, and would mean not having to increase the size of my iCloud plan, which is expensive in comparison to other cloud storage solutions.

Incredible app. Gorgeous, intelligent app. The guided view-like function is a joy to use. I’ve personally been reading on my iPhone and it works a treat! Many other iOS apps appear to have sold out and become money grubbers or forced rubbish updates onto users. I’ll happily support this app and it’s developers.

Just one thing. Great app! Just one thing, can we get a full screen landscape option? Similar to MU or DCUI where you one page fits the whole screen and you can scroll down the page.

Amazing App. This is the best free, clean app I have ever used for reading my offline collection. Big thanks to the developer. SUGGESTION: there is no vertical reading direction to read web toon. Can you please please add that feature. :)

Better guided view than Panels. This app has the best guided view (panel-by-panel mode) of all comic readers on iOS. Local file management is simple and the UI is smooth. Developer deserves kudos for offering this to the community free. You rock!

Amazing app and free?. Just want to thank the creators of this wonderful app and thanks for making free and better than all the other apps out there.

Hands down the best comic book Reader. It may not be free like before but $2 Canadian is a good price for what your getting. No subscription and a great UI With simple and straightforward way to load your own CBR/CBZ files. I wish I had known about this when it was free but the price isn’t bad either.

Best reader. Can’t believe it’s free. Fast, intuitive, smart panels. Hands down the best comics reader I’ve used. Kudos to developer. I would pay for this guys.

Best Comic Book Reader. This app is by far the best comic book reader I’ve had. I’ve tried popular apps like Panels,MangaReader and Comic Book Reader, but this app is so smooth and clean. The fact that it’s free and you can easily put files from your iTunes to iPhone. The app is perfect exactly what I needed and I can read double page manga better then other apps. Overall 5/5 I have no idea what else to say about this great app.

Hidden gem. I was about to give up searching in the App Store and online to find a great comic reader. Luckily found this amazing app. It has an awesome reading experience for smaller screens. Chunky app is only available for the iPad. Was trying to find an alternative for the iPhone. This is by far the best. ComiXology is amazing viewing experience. But this is almost as good for using your own comic library. Can’t believe it’s free. Very impressed.

Vertical mode. Great app but we need a vertical reading mode for webtoons

Truly smart!. Wow just wow! Smart as in tapping the screen, walks through the comic book for you! This is incredible! And fully free! This is next level app. Thank you so much devs!

Best comic reader around. Can’t believe it’s 100% free too!

In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Dead. Used to adore this app. But now I can’t get my iCloud to work anymore. The option is grayed out and won’t let me select it.

Won't open comics; no support. This frequently fails to open with a "corrupt archive" error, while Simple Comics open the sam issues with no problem. There is NO support.

Perfect. Exactly what I want out of a comic reader. Nothing compares. Amazing.

Greatest of All Time. Title. This app is the best Manga reader ever made for any platform. Get it asap.

Лучшее приложение для чтения. Хорошее приложения,удобное и понятное

Wow. The best comic reader.

Meh. Seems promising…iCloud feature does not work

its free but id pay for this. absolutely perfect app. would pay 10$ how is this free??

Wonderful app!. The application is amazing! But can you add EPUB support ?

The best app for cbr readers. Yup I said it.

Super simple and COMPLETELY FREE. Love the simplicity of this app. Great job!

TAKE MY MONEY. I know it’s free, but it’s such a good comic reader I want to give the dev my money. Maybe add a way to leave monetary tips for the dev?
