User reviews

I used to love it! There was no better app to see all your comics lined up on a shelf. Now after the updates, it crashes before it even loads. I thought it was my tablet that I have used with it for years, so I got a brand new tablet, just for this app and I was EXTREMELY disappointed that it had the same result. I'll have to settle with different readers until (hopefully) this one gets fixed!

Best pdf reader I've used. This app makes any pdf to be read as an ebook and has a very nice curling page effect when flipping pages. I love it. I also love how one can add notes to the pages and has a search feature. Thank you for this app.
