Many other comic readers I have seen require unreasonable levels of access to my phone information and functions. This is only app that has the right level of permission access to app function. Best comic app I have seen to date, great work developers.

Open Comic Reader is legit, I use it to read many comics. I don't know what the low star reviwers are using, but I tried a few and this is the one I stuck with. Not having ads is most important. Great app.

If you have trouble turning the pages increase the tap boundary in settings! Other wise so pleased to find an open source comic/zine reader that doesn't snoop or use adverts. Also had the best native page fit to screen of all the readers. Particularly good if you like to read old comic and magazine scans! Unfortunately there are a few bugs re finding SD cards and some clunky navigating re page flips. Would like page turning via volume button also enabled. Otherwise thanks!
★★☆☆☆
Swipe gesture not working properly, no buttons for next page,starts getting on nerves after few pages, uninstalled though I am a strong advocate of open source.
★★☆☆☆
from what i can tell there is no way to organize comics, sort comics or reorder comics. this makes it tough tonise of you have a big library. There is a similar issue listed on github, that was 4 years ago. I will check back in a year or so. i would like to see this become a full open source comic manager.
★★☆☆☆
When I opened up the wasn't anything but a black screen and 2 buttons at
the top. One button was for sorting; while the other was to sync, settings,
an about. That's just it, am I doing something wrong?
★★☆☆☆
When I open it all I see is black and two options. I have no Idea how I can find new comics to read on this thing.
