Comments on Challenger Comics Viewer for Android

★★★★☆ Muhammad Mustapha Taoheed · Feb 16, 2025
Nice app, arigato gozaimasu to you developers you've helped me out. But it would be nice if the app would be able to open PDF and gifs, it would make it easier to use, and also try to make the files more accessible through the list. I'm ready to update the app anytime you upgrade it. Reading manga has been more fun.
★★★★★ Jodi MacLean · Jul 13, 2022
Best comic book reader that I've used. I read comics on a tablet. Even when the tablet starts breaking down, this is the reader that remains usable.
★★☆☆☆ Clayton Francis · Aug 29, 2022
Opened the app after a long time of not reading comics. Can't access my Google Drive because Google blocks the app's access for "security reasons," it says.
★★☆☆☆ Galih Candra · Sep 17, 2023
Back button exit option screen, very annoying when trying to set up. Tapping when reading instead of showing navbar it slides changing pages. No option to zoom to actual resolution. I have to manually go back and forth to option to change reading mode if I want to read manga, comic, and vertical webtoon. Overall awkward and a bit of unintuitive navigation. But it stills a lot better than other readers including perfect viewer.
★☆☆☆☆ hong ho · Nov 29, 2025
Used to really like this app, but it can't read some cbr files. It just shows blanks. The file is fine because I can open it on Displayed with no issues but can't on Challenger.
