iComics App Reviews

Its just missing the webserver function. But Im giving five stars out of confidence its going to have it.

I was looking for a well designed cbr, cbz reader with iPhone 5 support. This seems to work fine so far. I cant see any difference between shelf and title view so far.

Works perfectly with the CBR files I have! Very slim program with no bloat, I can quickly flip through a comic while waiting in line.

I used to use the Photos app to have my manga collection on the go. That proved to be clunky and frustrating. This app just suits my needs and does so in a beautiful way. Even pages that were disordered in the Photos app were put in place by this app. Unlike the other reviewer, I did have trouble with my .CBR files, yet I dont mind that since it works perfectly with my own made .RAR files. For every manga/comic book reader who wants to have everything in one place, this is the app of choice!

Here it is... The one comic reader to best all readers... With the right features to come... If you dont use it your using the wrong comic reader The app is functional and straight forward. Tag data is intact for both cbr and cbz formats. Although pages take a sec to focus they flip from one to the next beautifully without hanging like other readers do. Once upcoming features are introduced like the bookshelf menu and separating collections/issues (which I hope is a sort of playlist function to organize the titles your reading)... There will be no equal. Sir, I dare say youve made this comic book guy one happy fella!! ( as long as is it stays functional on my 1st gen iPad ) :)

Works perfectly... The price is right... Clean and simple design

was an amazing app now all it does is crash...have deleted and reinstalled and wiped ipad and restored from scratch but nothing i do will fix it please please please help...love this app dont want to have to find a new one

It works better than all of the most of the paid apps that claim to do half of what this app does

Ive begun reading all the amazing Spider-Man comics and this app is easy to upload my comics and keeps track of what Ive read as well as keeping my spot when I close the app. Its definitely worthy of a purchase!

I have tried lots of others, but this app handles comics the best. The new update greatly sharpens the text when zoomed now. I cant believe others complained about the quirky prompt messages. I thought they were great and will be sorely missed.

Dont get me wrong. The developer of CZ did a great job, and it served my needs well for several years. But I hated converting the comics for transfer (which required a separate app installed on my computer. Plus it took a long time and often crashed when working with multiple books). Also the library was bloated. Many features which made it a strong app years ago have been obsoleted since. With iComics, I can transfer and be reading new books in seconds. The image quality is exquisite, the interface is minimal and unobtrusive and the developer has a top-notch sense of professionalism toward customer support. Ive installed every comic app to come out since my first 3G iPhone (4S now). When I say this is the app you want, I do so with the confidence of several years experience. This IS the app you want. ;) -Anaglyph

This comic reader works well. Both .cbz and .cbr open without hanging. The pages snap to fit the whole screen. All and all very pleased with this app. Good work!

Works flawlessly.

Intuitive, easy, almost perfect! It badly needs a "categories" or "series" (or store in folders) features... With iPad with gigantic ram, our collections tend to get really big. I get around it by renaming all my stuff, but it is tedious. Still, one of the best cbr/cbz reader around!

So smooth, if you have comic books and need a place to put them this is well worth the couple dollars.

Just bought an iPad Air and was looking for a comic book reader app to view DRM free comics in cbr & cbz formats. Found iComic in the App Store so decided to give it a try since it was very reasonably price (under $3) & description seemed to offer what I was looking. Turns out that it is a really solid comic reader app as it smoothly flips pages when reading (plus gives feature of going to next issue in series when you reach end of issue) and comics look good in app too. I imported comics with iTunes sync so have not tried the wireless option yet but iTunes sync was easy. This app could get 5 stars if it added better import for single issues - features say that app sorts comics into series but found I had to do this when dropping in single issues in a series - seems like the app will sort them if dropped in a folder. This is nice as some comic apps do not read folders but can be an problem if you want to only put in a few issues in a long running series and then you have to manually sort them or would have manually make a folder (on your computer) and drop issues you want into that folder & then sync that folder. Sorting single same named issues is a must add feature for me - hopefully this can be added in an upcoming update. The layout is a bit different in this app as it has a small tab you can access from above bar - this is where you can access your sorted series or single issues. You can also access by sliding finger over from left to pull up your sorted series - nice added feature! At first I did not like it as I am used to tapping in an out of menus, but after using it I actually really liked it as cuts out some tapping into menus and was easier to access. Other minor tweak would be the way comics are shown as read - small progress bar moves across bottom of comic cover - would be better if comic greyed out etc when finished being read - sometimes hard to see small progress bar if looking quickly. Besides these couple things above, the app is very solid & certainly worth a look if you are in the market for a DRM free comic reader app especially since it is offered for less money and seems to offer all the main features (plus a few more) needed in a comic reader.

Do not get this app its useless. if i wanted to read comics from my computer i would read them off there

This is completely useless utter crap dont waste ur $$ they put about 2 seconds into developing it.

Love this app. Its simple and super easy to use. I really love the "hot swapping" its like reading a continuos TPB. Very easy to read a lot of comics and not realize it. Ive lost many hours reading lots of comics with this app. Would give 5 stars and will after the promise of other forms of syncing / adding comics. iCloud and Dropbox come standard and the creator is already working on other means to add comics. Well worth the price. Very happy and is now my go to comic app!
