Hey guys,
This isn't another "What's the best Android comic reader?" thread, or at least not on purpose. Rather, I have some questions about different apps.
My goto reader is Perfect Veiwer. I've tried others, but none compare. I love the ability to reconfigure the touchscreen areas, I like the way it sorts the library. I like everything really. I just wish the UI would be redesigned to follow Holo guidelines and I'd like the cover thumbnails to be a bit larger. Also, for a while it kept crashing on me. While it seems more stable on me now, I looked into other viewers during PVs dark days.
I could never get Open Comic Reader to display my covers. It would open and show boxes with my file names, but no covers. I believe it crashed when I tried opening files too, but I don't remember for sure. I messed with it to no end, uninstalling/reinstalling, and finally just gave up. Anybody have more success with this one?
I like POW! and Challenger Comics, though Challenger crashes on opening any comic file fairly often lately.
I liked the free versions of Komik and Comica, even if they are no longer updated. But does anyone know if purchasing the full app removes all the ads? I couldn't find anything on their descriptions saying it does, which I thought was weird. I don't wanna pay for either and still see ads
ComiCat looked interesting. The screenshots remind me a lot of Perfect Viewer with the Holo design I like. But there's no free or trial version available. If you've used it and PV, how does ComiCat stack up? Is it worth the $2.99 sight unseen?
Are there others I should try? What makes them interesting/different?
My only requirements are that it can handle CBZ and CBR files and that it have a library function. I gave up on A Comic Viewer as it seems to lack that.
Honestly, I spend as much time goofing around with the different veiwers and their settings as I do reading my comics!
