by D####:

The presentation is slick, clean and simple. It is a shame that it can rarely get through a whole comic without crashing. I tried 3 comic reader apps to see which one was best, and this would have been my favorite, if only it functioned. As it is, I am uninstalling this and going with Comicrack. Neither of the other apps I tried had the crippling issues this one does.

O70%
by O####:

I often keep large hi-resolution images stored. This viewer handles them fine, without breaking a sweat. The option to manually turn off screen rotation in the viewer, without affecting other apps, is also a nice touch. If only you could view thumbnail previews as well.

R70%
by R####:

It can't de-compress .CBR files. And small text is blurry. The default image viewer on ICS/JB is a lot better at displaying the pages, but it has no functionality which is why I used this. Try Perfect Viewer instead =/ I'm sorry dev

by D####:

There were a few of my CBR files where it would start garbling the pages and then occasionally crash with an out of memory error. I sent in the reports but have moved to another reader that works much better.

D70%
by D####:

better than other comic reader app i have come across, reads all comic files but once you start reading theres no option for to go to root menu or open files. Would have been great if there was.

I "installed" just so I can say this, the domain points to those fake search sites and just returns spam/junk and attempts to install fake versions of Flash. My trust from this company is gone, but I have no issues sifting through the source-code to compile and install locally.

me gustaba mucho la aplicación en el celular, pero hay algunos archivos que por una sola hoja cierra todo y dice que hay error, con varios me ha sucedido lo mismo. si lo pueden arreglar, que me parece genial la aplicacion

I had used this app to read comics on my Nexus 7 for the last couple months but now suddenly I keep running into problems where a few pages in and an error prompt comes up. A nearly flawless app now suddenly unable to read anything entirely.

I purchased the pro version through the app, and ever since I've been receiving a recurring notification stating that the purchase has failed. Please edit or change the protocol for handling and verifying purchases.

Y70%

Startup interface doesn't utilize screen space well at all. Corrupt file/memory errors are more common than you'd expect. Other readers read the same files perfectly. Overall a decent app that can work, just not always.

D70%
by D####:

This is an excellent app and I couldn't be happier. I have also tried Komik, but noticed that the images are blurry when scrolling and takes a second for it to sharpen. ACV does not have this problem! One feature that this app desperately needs, however, is full screen support (which Komik has). Please add full screen support for those running Kit Kat and this will be the perfect comic reader :D

F70%
by F####:

Seems there are complaints around CBR, but those seem to miss the fact that the CBR format requires the entire file to be unpacked in memory. Switching to a more sensible format, e.g. CBZ, does the job fine. All in all it does what I need it to, with few or no issues.

Y70%
by Y####:

While ACV did open some cbr/cbz files, I ran into quite a few out of memory errors. In addition the page turning was pretty ugly, a button, seriously? And even though the settings were to display the panels fit to screen, I found that I still had to manually set the zoom to get full screen display. Even the rendering engine seemed blurry. Sorry guys you need to do a lot of work on this one.

Have now Installed "comic rack" app, no issues. No memory errors and no setup.....it just works. Shame I had to abandon this app but the dev has clearly done the same

D70%
by D####:

Works but very slow and sluggish. Some pages load pixelated. Few settings. Doublepages open from the left corner. Sometimes ignores fit to width. Needs work. There are other much better apps now

by D####:

I used this app a lot for offline reading, easy to use and simple zoom controls. Used it on a S3 and a nameless copycat tablet. Also I like the current app icon, simple and no text. But, now I'm looking for a change, this app now feels outdated... I hope this app will rise again someday. >SFMBE

Encountered weird problems while viewing my comic. Half the page would be blitzed out and nearly unable to read. It happens from time to time. When I read the comic on my computer, I can read it just fine. There may be a glitch in the system. May wanna check it out. Thanks.

D70%
by D####:

Don't bother. This app is junk. Most of the images appear zoomed in and I can't seem to find a way to zoom out so I can actually read the whole page. Try "Perfect Viewer" instead. That one has no advertizements and the images appear in a way that can be read. It also has the ability to read .pdf files.

H70%
by H####:

Not sure if new version is broken since this is my first te trying, but I tested 3 completely different series CBR's, and all 3 take 30-45 seconds to load the next page after tapping to turn page. Often times it doesn't work at all on a Note 4. Removing in favor of other apps that work, sorry.

This app dosent even work what a joke this is. I like to uninstall crap like this and leave thrutfull feedback. Dont waste your time people!

Q70%
by Q####:

App reads .cbr files great. some of the controls are annoying but can be customized. Main issue for 3 stars is random error message that won't load some pages and you would have to skip them. Causing me to go back to my computer to read the missing page. -droidx2

by D####:

This comic book series a lot simpler and easier to read your comics with. The interface is more out of the way, and it's not ridiculously complicated to use like some other comic viewer programs.

Tried to view futures end on this reader and it messed up the visuals. There were lines all across it. Downloaded a different one and they showed fine. Don't use this one

D70%
by D####:

It doesn't display properly with corrupted lines on parts of the image and crashes a lot as other reviews say. CBR files work perfectly on my desktop

M70%
by M####:

I'm facing some issues with this. I can't rotate the scenes to landscape view. It's stuck in portrait mode. There is also issue with the display. Some comics doesn't display properly. The bottom portion appear scrambled or even seems like a grey block.

Finally works after long wait, but I've long since abandoned this app! I used to use this app all the time and loved it, but once my tablet got HC3.2, this app stopped working. The Dev didn't update in such a long time, so I simply moved on to another comic viewer. I just now noticed that this one was updated, so decided to give it a try and although it works now on my tablet (now on ICS 4.0.3), I have to say that it still doesn't live up to my new favorite comic viewer (ComicRack). I give the dev a 1* for abandoning users for so long (don't care why) and the current state of this app a 3* since it now works, but only as a simple, plain, and no-frills comic reader. If you want something way better though, get ComicRack. (I could've just said that CR is better and just gave this one a 1*, but I believe in fair reviews).

R70%
by R####:

it actually worked. Its not that it force closes its that it just doesnt work about half way in. I got through maybe 4 pages and it trys tl load the next page but it will not at all. I have tried to reopen and restart and it stays stuck on thd 4th page. 1 star until it is fixed. If I could actuakky get through a whole comic I'd consider it to be a great app.

Update: After some years away from this app I decided to give it another go. Sad to see that after 4 years the same issues persist. Sill won't load certain comics after a few pages. Unbelievable. One minute I can read everything, the next I get "out of memory" prompts. What is that all about?

D70%
by D####:

Great app allows me to read manga and comic books whenever. And in real handy when in the restroom. The only problem i have is when it can't read the image, though an easy fix; change it from a cbr/cbz to a rar file and extract it then open the image folder (long tap)

O70%
by O####:

I tried to open 2 comics and both had lots of static at the bottom of the comics. I thought it might be the comics but I then opened the comics with perfect viewer and they looked just fine. If this glitch wasn't their it would be good but it just looks terrible and ruins the comic.

Z70%
by Z####:

Near the end of the page, the cbr page gets all glitchy and weird. I tried the same cbr document on an another viewer and it works perfectly, please fix.

G70%

i have been using this viewer for years. i am utterly impressed. however, the drain on the battery is the only thing that keeps me from using it often.

X70%
by X####:

This used to be a top notch viewer bbut recently it has become unusable with no fix in sight. Hopefully, it will be fixed, until then I'll be using another. Also, I cannot uninstall it. Keep selecting 'uninstall' but nothing happens.

C70%
by C####:

As I said, great format and user controls. But almost every other page of any comic I get either a memory error or a corrupted data error. Fix that or this app is useless. I like the features just wish I could actually read through an entire comic with out some BS. Will be switching to a different app and uninstalling this until it is made useable.

X70%
by X####:

Love it when its working but I can't read like fifty percent of the comics I'm downloading cause I get the oops error every time I open it

I can't believe that a 32G, lightly loaded ASUS Transformer has a problem unzipping a CBR and failing to render a 15k JPG file. My desktop never has problems with the same files.

X70%
by X####:

It's quite useless as I always get the out of memory error eventually, which doesn't happen with other apps.

X70%
by X####:

This reader is almost completely useless in my Asus TF101 tablet, since it is contantly crashing with the "not enough memory" error. The only way I can prevent this error from happening is by reducing the image resolution in the settings, but then the image quality is so low that the image displays pixelated.

P70%
by P####:

Downloaded onto my Galaxy S3 w/ jelly bean to read CBR files. Constantly gives error message stating no memory left to display file. I now use Comic Rack free. No issues.
