Comments on Kuro Reader+ for Android

★★★★★ Chesak Shira · Mar 6, 2026
I was come across all kinds of comic reader it is by far the best one in fact love it I can adjust it as I want. I have yet to explore +pro (and please add epub too I also want to read LN)
★★★★☆ Ryly Lyly · Apr 17, 2025
I like how good the UI/UX this app has. However, I just hope for additional features like a setting to control how much the reader go zooming from double tap (I think the zooming from double tap in this app is way too much) and maybe a setting to disable second double tap for more zooming(?). Also for some reason reading a comic in webtoon mode is kinda laggy, I hope this will be fixed in the future. Still considering purchasing the Pro version, so I hope for the improvement in the future.
★★★★★ Triumph Aidenojie · Sep 11, 2026
Kuro is genuinely the best app for reading comics I've seen. The UI is sleek, the app is fast and optimizes large photos, it makes it easy to organize comics and the app size is so small. I couldn't ask for anymore ❤️ I haven't seen any problems since I started using the app. It actually motivated me to start learning Kotlin in fact 😂 I got a build apps like this. Nice one Kuro!
★★☆☆☆ Handers The · Nov 24, 2024
The UI itself is very clean, I really like it. But for some reason it can't display some .avif images in .7z archive. Some can but some just displayed the cover/thumbnail the rest are just "try again" that won't display the images. The rest don't even have cover/thumbnail displayed.
★★☆☆☆ Michelle Revtai · Dec 27, 2025
Hi, I'm a bit confused. I purchased the pro version of this app quite a while ago, but recently got a new phone, and now it's asking me to buy the pro version again? I don't remember needing to make multiple purchases for different devices. :(
★☆☆☆☆ Nubbs · Dec 7, 2024
Pretty sure they scammed me. Bought Kuro Reader Pro which they removed off Google Play Store in place of Kuro Reader+ Pro requiring me to rebuy. Don't mind paying to support devs, but that's scummy.
