Smart Comic Reader

A smart comic reader for iOS that can automatically detect, zoom in on, and move between panels on a page.

For everyone adding their comics directly from macOS to iCloud Drive, try out this small utility: https://t.co/dirPLBnn7F

It will provide thumbnails for your CBZ/CBR files that can also be downloaded by Smart Comic Reader on iOS without having to download the whole comic first.

@Pinetrax May I suggest using tags for this? They won’t currently show up in the app but they will show up in Finder and the iOS Files app. Expanding tags to show up in the app or some other solution would be a feature I’d also consider (that might also be more useful in more cases)

@Pinetrax I’ve considered a donation button but decided to just make the app one-time paid instead. If you downloaded it while it was still free, enjoy!

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@Pinetrax It wouldn’t be hard to do, but my list of feature requests is getting fairly large and .cbt is pretty niche, so I can’t make promises unfortunately. The request is definitely noted though. I very much appreciate your support as well!

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@matjhow There’s a setting called “Automatic Rotation” that you can use to disable it, it’s at the top of the settings tab!

@ambidextRuss Unfortunately no

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@key0sc Thanks for reporting. What iOS version are you on? Has this feature ever worked for you before on this or another device?

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@yoann_harmand I agree it’s not the best place to save it though, it was just the easiest. It’s on my list for future improvements.

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@yoann_harmand The progress gets attached to the file as metadata. Usually this gets stripped when you share the file, but syncing through a shared iCloud folder will preserve it (something I rely on to sync it between devices for the app).

@yoann_harmand I’m planning to add tap to advance btw, it’s often requested.

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@yoann_harmand Hi,
Unfortunately I can’t reproduce any regressions. Tap to advance to the next page has never been supported, it needs a swipe, unless going from panel to panel in the panel zoom mode, which still seems to work from my testing. Could you please provide any more details?

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@HenriekeDraws I’m glad you like it! Thanks!

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@steve_a150 Thank you for the great review! I enjoyed reading it 😁

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

Probably the most requested feature… Double page view coming soon

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@mr_sawane Thanks! I do want to add a vertical scroll mode, but unfortunately I can make no promises on when that will be…

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@usae15 Thanks! No Android version is planned though, I barely have time to work on the iOS version, sorry :(

@CosmeTechMx Thanks so much! I was planning on adding paid features to it eventually but never got around to it. I might still put a one-time price on the whole app too.
All the features you download for free today will remain free for you forever though!

@glassoline It’s due to an iOS bug that happens when you transfer data to a new phone. This is the only workaround I know of. I’ve submitted a bug report to Apple, I’m hoping they will fix it.

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@glassoline Please reinstall the app to fix this problem. If you’re using local storage, use the Files app to temporarily move your comic files to a different location first or they will be deleted. If you’re using iCloud Drive this is not necessary.

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@MrArjen Ja denk het. Ik doe niks raars dus ben bang dat het een bug in iOS 15 zelf is…

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@MrArjen Ik hoop natuurlijk een betere oplossing te vinden, maar heb het zelf nog niet kunnen herproduceren, noch heb ik op dit moment een idee waardoor dit zou kunnen komen. Laat maar weten hoe het gaat 👍

[Smart Comic Reader @SmartComicApp]

@MrArjen Voor een andere gebruiker was dit opgelost door de app opnieuw te installeren, maar pas op dat je je bestanden niet kwijtraakt! Als je comics op iCloud staan kan je gewoon de app verwijderen, maar anders moet je eerst je comics ergens anders heen verplaatsen.
