Comments on Comics Reader for Android

★★★★★ I haven't tried them all but this seems like the best reader because it's GPL, and doesn't come with spam or require unnecessary permissions.
★★★★★ Best comics reader I've tried - simple and no ads as of right now.
★★★★★ I mostly use it for reading comic books. It's a great choice for comic books with the format of CBR.
★★★★★ Please add Edge Width = None option; Zoom = Fit to Height is currently worthless because you accidentally change images every time you try to scroll side to side, even with "Wee small" Edge width set. You can already change images by tapping anyway.
★★★★★ It is very easy and simple to use and manipulate
★★★★★ Wow just wow, i would give this a 5 if only the interface was better but still wow
★★☆☆☆ I downloaded Geronimo Stilton kingdom of fantasy 6 and its didn't start.
★★☆☆☆ Does not display cbr files does not display JPG either file browse is unix type, pretty unintelligible to Windows users outside the factory memory.
★★☆☆☆ I'm not going through a gazillion system folders trying to find out where my comic strips have been stored. I'm just not. All I want is to tap the app and have it bring up the comics on my phone. I'm not a genius okay. Sorry, but this app is a zero.
