A different kind of comic reader that offers a better way to read comics on a smaller screen.
How it works:
1. Import any comic into the app.
2. Double tap on a panel and watch the app automatically detect its boundaries and zoom in on it.
3. Tap on the side of the screen to easily move to the next panel. If needed, the app will rotate the comic to make maximum use of your screen space.
Key Features
============
Smart Reader:
- Automatically zoom in and move between panels for a smooth reading experience.
- Works with any comic, western or manga, no matter the art style. Panels do not need well-defined edges to be detected.
- Always stay in control, let the app guide you over the page while you can always manually zoom and pan.
Comic Collection:
- Import comics from anywhere and organize your comic collection.
- Comics are stored in iCloud to save storage space and keep your collection in sync across devices.
- Your Smart Comic Reader collection is a regular folder on your iCloud Drive that you can access and manage from any iCloud connected device, like a Mac, or a Windows device using iCloud for Windows.
- Also works locally if iCloud is disabled.

And many more features to come!

Smart Comic Reader App Comments & Reviews
Smart Comic Reader Positive Reviews
Very happy with this readerI needed an app to read my offline files in CBZ format but I noticed that the privacy policies of some of the ‘free’ apps out there permit them to share your PII and track what you read. This app claims to not share any data. I like that it can import files from iCloud or OneDrive, and it has worked flawlessly for me so far. It has a neat feature to zoom into the comic panels and can quickly swap left-to-right and vice-versa reading order. The panel zoom is not flawless but works 99% of the time. If i had a complaint it would be that the touch zones to move forward or backward across the pages are not perfect. There is a setting to choose between four options but none of them are exactly what i’d prefer. No matter - it still works well enough..Version: 1.11.0
THE best comic reader on iOSSmart Comic has everything I want out of a comic reader, auto-syncing through iCloud, iPhone and iPad versions, an easy way to read on iPhone, and an excellent interface design. The smart zoom on panels is fantastic; you can buzz through a page on iPhone. I can’t believe this is free, honestly. The app creator should seriously consider adding new functionality as a premium upgrade because they deserve some compensation for the time they put into this. Auto-sorting and pulling metadata from a comic database would be the only things I can think of to improve upon this one..Version: 1.7.0
Brilliant! Guided reading works a charm!The "guided reading" feature is great! I have been looking for an app to read my existing digital comics while on the treadmill. I have my iPad connected to a big screen tv and now I can do one of my favorite things (reading comics) while doing one of my least favorite things (treadmill). I even use Smart Comic Reader with IOS voice control to pan the comic panels with my voice - no touching! Just be careful. My wife recently heard me say, "Swipe left" over and over again for 45 minutes. She said it sounded like I was on Tinder..Version: 1.9.0
Top Notch Comic Reader AppThis is a fantastic comic reader app. For $2, it handles all my cbr, cbz, and even PDF files perfectly. I use it on my iPad, and the comics I read all look great and feel excellent in terms of the reading experience, as well as actually managing them. I have hundreds of comics, series, & PDFs spread among a dozen folders, all with nested subfolders and this app handles it great. My big problem with a lot of comic reader apps is that they cram themselves full of bespoke functionality and features that result in a worse app experience, often at higher prices. “We have all these features that 1 person might use 1 time, so why don’t we charge $10, $15 or more?” That’s not an issue here. It’s exactly what I wanted at a very low cost. Best $2 I’ve spent in a long time. If you want a way to read comics, books and PDFs that’s streamlined, user-friendly, and not exorbitantly expensive or feature-bloated—this is it..Version: 1.11.0
Best one I knowI’ve tried countless readers out there but none are as nice as SCR. Not only does it accept any format, but it also maintains your precise location without slowing anything down. Its actually my goto for important pdf documents that I want to maintain my place in. I’m studying for my life insurance license and need to be able to pause it like a video game. I can effortlessly pick up exactly where I left off and keep on going. If I want a break I can switch to a comic and relax. Thanks for a wonderful and simple to use reader. It works awesome on my ipad..Version: 1.10.2
Truly the BestI had tried out Panels and found it wouldn’t reliably zoom into individual panels of the comic I had downloaded. I figured it was because the comic was an “older style”, so maybe the less defined panel borders were harder for it to pick up on; I just muscled through. I decided to try this app and lo and behold it immediately did what I wanted, label zoomed into individual panels reliably, in order, and rotated wide panels for optimal viewing. Not to mention it didn’t lag in page transitions. This app is truly the best, it is exactly what I needed, look no further..Version: 1.8.4
Amazing - This is the oneThis is by far the best comic reader I’ve come across. Well worth the money. Especially if you want to read comics on your phone, you won’t find anything better. It has automatic frame recognition and even has a feature that automatically resizes each frame to be as large as possible on your screen. I really like the option that automatically rotates your screen orientation to maximize each frame. Now I can simply rotate my phone and see each frame vividly. I can finally scroll through a few frames while waiting in line or whatever when I’m out. And I don’t need to lug around my heavy iPad anymore. It has cloud storage so I can pick up from where I left off reading on my iPad at home, read a few frames throughout the day, and return to my current progress when I get back home. Amazing. Thank you to the developers..Version: 1.10.3
No page marking functionIt’s been the best comic reader app by far. But I really really REALLY hope the next version will allow me to mark some of the pages that I’d read again and then screenshot them. I’ve updated many times, and I’d feel disappointed each time. Besides, is it possible for me to choose a new word in a panel and translate directly? Now I have to open up a dictionary app and input the word in the dictionary app, which is quite annoying and low efficient. I REALLY look forward to your reply, whether my advice will be taken or not. Best Regards..Version: 1.11.0
Simply the bestI have a huge collection of digital comics I’ve been acquiring from Humble Bundle over the years. Before this app, there was no comfortable way to read them on my phone, since I prefer smaller devices. This app works better than some of the comic readers made by much larger companies. Plus, it doesn’t collect data. What I read stays between me and myself. When I say this is the best comic reader in the store I do not mean that it is the best in its category. I mean it is the best. Full stop..Version: 1.10.1
Been Wishing for an app like this for 10 years!As someone who’s been reading comics digitally for a decade now. The ability to use panel-to-panel reading with your own comics is huge! I can’t even express how much I’m loving this app. I always wished that this technology existed and to randomly stumble on this app a few days ago and discover that we have already arrived in this amazing future… my mind was blown. So happy with it. Honestly the happiest I’ve ever been with a new app..Version: 1.8.8
Great for mobile screensThis is a really nice app and quite unique. Panel by panel navigation makes reading comics on the phone and other small screens possible. My only quibble, if I have one at all, is that the double page view doesn’t allow me to shuffle the left and right pages. Sometimes the spreads are out of order. Controlling whether the book starts on a recto or verso, like Acrobat Reader does, would really make this program perfect..Version: 1.8.9
Great AppDoes everything you would want. Double page when in horizontal view, zoom mode that follows from panel to panel. Continues to the next comic in a series folder without having to leave the current comic . It also does a reasonable job of folder management, my only suggestion would be the ability to attach thumbnails to folders so it isn’t as visually jarring from single issues. But overall fantastic app..Version: 1.8.8
Just exactly what I was searching forI have used many CBR readers in the last few years. Some good, some bad, some just okay. This has everything that I need. It’s perfect for on the go reading on your phone due to its smart panel feature which I love so much. That’s what I have been looking for all this time. Also, it offers a great UI for organizing and browsing through a collection..Version: 1.11.0
It just worksThe nicest thing about this comic reader is that I don’t notice it when I’m reading comics. The import process is seamless. It automatically sorts the comics by issue number, even if you import them in a different order, and when you complete a comic it lets you go right into the next one. This is how comic readers should work. Simple, easy, and effective..Version: 1.10.2
It’s great, but one problemThe app is great. I love that I put make collections within collections so my library doesn’t become convoluted with spin-offs and tie-ins. The panel by panel navigation is broken, however. Makes it difficult to read on a phone. The error I’m getting is “Error detecting panels. Unable to load model” followed by what looks like a directory location. I’m happy to send a screenshot if there is an email I can use for you. Thanks!.Version: 1.8.7
Love the app! Got 2 suggestions.1. Add support for syncing with other cloud storage solutions for us who use OneDrive, Dropbox etc. 2. Add an option when viewing panel by panel to show the whole page when you first open it, and the option to show the whole page after the last panel on a page..Version: 1.8.9
Get this app!!Literally tried all of the comic readers even spent money trying to find the best one. Whether you have an iPhone or iPad this app works for them all gloriously. I use the cloud backup which 10/10 the best. I love every feature this app currently has and just upgraded to 120FPS, so thankful for this!.Version: 1.8.9
Great app, just missing one feature thoughI really like the app, it’s miles away from the competition. The only thing missing for me (and I don’t know if there’s some way of doing it and I haven’t figured it out) it’s the ability to move folders inside other folders so I can get everything in order. But that’s the only thing so far that bugged me..Version: 1.8.8
Great reader terrible integration.Smart Comic Reader’s edge selection enhances the reading experience for local and iCloud comics, seamlessly transitioning between panels. However, the app falls short in modern features. It lacks integration with other cloud providers (like Dropbox), requires manual file management for each individual comic file (except for the local and iCloud folders), and heavily relies on the Apple ecosystem. While great for some, it may not suit everyone’s needs..Version: 1.10.3
Good readerIs a really good reader, is fast so i can transfers tons of comics at once through itunes and has complete iCloud integration which makes transfers really comfortable. the only thing i see missing is the ability to reorder comics manually. right now they only rearrange themselves in alphabetical order which can be a pain if you need to read more than one comic in sequence.Version: 1.8.5
The best of the best comic readersI like to read fleetway sonic comics online. It’s convenient, but some of the page is usually not readable. THIS is where this amazing app comes to use. It supports cbr, cbz, and best of all, Pdf files. I can read comics clearly without any struggle easily. This is the best comic reader for ios, and I definitely recommend it..Version: 1.8.8
ImpressiveThe algorithm or AI or whatever that powers this app is genuinely impressive. It will even recognize panels within panels and so far hasn’t gotten the order wrong on me. As a 13 Mini owner I really appreciate this app- gone are the days of awkwardly scrolling around zoomed in pages. Reading comics at work will never be the same!.Version: 1.9.0
Great app. Everything I wantedThe interface is simple and easy to use. No ads. Auto sync with iCloud. This is the only app you’ll need if you use iCloud. If I can ask for one thing, I wish the files and folders weren’t separated but listed in order by name mixed..Version: 1.11.0
Fantastic for MangaI have all my of digital manga backed up as .CBZ files and this does an awesome job of importing through iCloud files. If the developer wanted to make a premium paid version (one time fee NOT subscription) for a few extra features, I’d happily throw some money to support..Version: 1.10.1
Blown awayThe app is clean, follows Apple’s design guidelines, and feels like it was written in SwiftUI, but the most impressive part is the smart panel zoom feature. It’s actually really, really good. The animations switching from panel to panel add some extra drama to the experience. Hard to explain, but it elevates the experience..Version: 1.10.2
It actually zooms in!!!It zooms in automatically and you can scroll through the panels. You won’t have to squint your eyes or manually zoom in to read the text. The only app that does this so far. I just wish I could turn off the rotate feature.Version: 1.8.1
A requestThank you for this wonderful app. Its minimal design and seamless performance make it one of the best app for iPad. *** I have a request from you. Can you add Live Text feature to it? It would be helpful for using dictionary during reading comics. ***.Version: 1.10.1
Exactly what Ive been looking forIve been reading comics on my ipad for years using various cbr readers and this is the one that finally meets the mark and fulfills all my prerequisites for a great comic reader. Excellent! Im surprised at how under the radar it is, this deserves to be the number 1 comic reader on the app store!.Version: 1.8.8
Best one for me across devicesFlawless integration and synch across devices, easily detects panels, intuitive and easy to use and taps into your cloud for comics. No crashing. What more could I ask and much fairer priced than other inferior Comic reading apps..Version: 1.10.3
Best comic reading appAmazing job, only thing I can ask for is native Google Drive support with the ability to directly “stream” comics instead of importing and downloading. Will definitely pay and support you for that.Version: 1.8.4
Amazing!!!Wish ratings had decimals so I could give it a 4.5/5 or heck, even a 4.9/5. This app is AWESOME! The UI is great, very minimal and clean. The panel-to-panel reading is so cool and I love how it integrates with iCloud so you can pick up your reading on other devices. If other services get supported like Google Drive, this will be a 5/5. Great job!.Version: 1.8.8
Wow it’s greatIt really works, I’m very impressed that it can detect the panels with ease. I tried the Kich more expensive panels app and this one is WAY better. Zero effort with zooming in, it just works. Great job making this app, it brings my old comics to life!.Version: 1.10.3
Best comic reader on IOS, hands downThis is your best option for reading comics on an iPad or iPhone. The iCloud integration is really good. Turning pages & zooming in & out of panel to panel viewing is intuitive. If you have a bunch of books formatted as CBR or CBZ this is a nobrainer..Version: 1.10.1
RequestCan you add page animations please? Also, the ability to change the background from black to white while reading? Thank you..Version: 1.8.8
Absolutely amazing appSimple and to the point. I love it. It would be nice if it supported OPDS, but they give access to files so thats still really simple. Feels really good to use. Would highly recommend.Version: 1.8.10
Only Comic App that syncs comics between app & iCloud DriveLOVING your app so far. Best option is it created folders with my PD comics on my iCloud DRIVE & it syncs both ways. (NO other app does this)... Drop PDF in App & it uploaded to comic folder on iCloud Drive. Dropped PDF Comic in iCloud Drive folder & it sync’d automatically into my app.., Would like to see option within my collections folders to see a LIST view that would show more of the title name with a smaller view of the cover. Keep up the great work....Version: 1.0.0
My favorite iPad comic readerI’ve tried several iPad comic readers and this one is the best. The panel to panel reading works better really well. I wish that the Marvel Unlimited reader worked as well as this one..Version: 1.8.8
Best comic reader for the iPad!!This is my go to app for all my comic reading. Easy to navigate either full page or by panel. The interface is non-intrusive and so simple but elegant..Version: 1.8.9
The best comic reader there is!This has everything the others do not. Good file management, full resolution with no downsampling or downscaling, Split View on iPad, etc. Worth every penny!.Version: 1.9.0
So many questions?Why isn’t every comic reader like this? Why is this app free? Why isn’t everyone using it? Why can’t I pay a one-time fee for OPDS import?.Version: 1.8.9
Have Gone Through 5 Comic Readers, This Is The Best OneLimited ads, perfectly smooth scrolling and detecting panels, unlike any other comic reading app I’ve used..Version: 1.8.3
So far so goodThe auto panel detection has been really good so far. Currently reading comics from the 60s with more strict panels. Will update when I get into more modern comics with more complex panels..Version: 1.8.8
Great app for iPadLove this app and I use it e very day on my commute. My only “Feature Request” would be the ability to import whole folders. Other than that 5 stars!!.Version: 1.11.0
AwesomeApp is butter. Super satisfying to read comics with. Love the iCloud sync and easy to import for offline viewing. How is this free?? Thank you! Please add ability to manually arrange order, and also a tip jar..Version: 1.8.6
Does the job!I have a number of digital comics and those app does a good job with them. I have no complaints!.Version: 1.10.0
Love this appI love this app this is the only free comic reader I found that doesn’t show a big watermark while your reading.Version: 1.8.9
This the one!5 Stars ! Easy to use . Store all of my cbr files on iCloud and easily open them with this app. NO ADDS!.Version: 1.11.0
Great comic readerI love this comic reader. I have another, more popular one, but this one is more enjoyable to use. I think part of that reason is because of its native feel and how simple it is to use and understand. Also, its panel-by-panel reading mode is fantastic, especially for smaller devices. My only suggestion for this app would be to allow saving bookmarks. Sometimes, I want to jump to a different page and jump back. The Kindle app has a pretty helpful way of doing this (in addition to saving bookmarks). I'd love it if this app could offer the same functionality. Otherwise, it's a great app! Thank you!.Version: 1.10.3
Better guided view than PanelsThis app has the best guided view (panel-by-panel mode) of all comic readers on iOS. Local file management is simple and the UI is smooth. Developer deserves kudos for offering this to the community free. You rock!.Version: 1.9.0
Vertical modeGreat app but we need a vertical reading mode for webtoons.Version: 1.10.2
Hands down the best comic book ReaderIt may not be free like before but $2 Canadian is a good price for what your getting. No subscription and a great UI With simple and straightforward way to load your own CBR/CBZ files. I wish I had known about this when it was free but the price isn’t bad either..Version: 1.10.2
Amazing AppThis is the best free, clean app I have ever used for reading my offline collection. Big thanks to the developer. SUGGESTION: there is no vertical reading direction to read web toon. Can you please please add that feature. :).Version: 1.8.9
Amazing app and free?Just want to thank the creators of this wonderful app and thanks for making free and better than all the other apps out there..Version: 1.8.9
Best readerCan’t believe it’s free. Fast, intuitive, smart panels. Hands down the best comics reader I’ve used. Kudos to developer. I would pay for this guys..Version: 1.8.9
Just one thingGreat app! Just one thing, can we get a full screen landscape option? Similar to MU or DCUI where you one page fits the whole screen and you can scroll down the page..Version: 1.8.9
Best comic reader aroundCan’t believe it’s 100% free too!.Version: 1.8.9
Best Comic Book ReaderThis app is by far the best comic book reader I’ve had. I’ve tried popular apps like Panels,MangaReader and Comic Book Reader, but this app is so smooth and clean. The fact that it’s free and you can easily put files from your iTunes to iPhone. The app is perfect exactly what I needed and I can read double page manga better then other apps. Overall 5/5 I have no idea what else to say about this great app..Version: 1.8.8
Truly smart!Wow just wow! Smart as in tapping the screen, walks through the comic book for you! This is incredible! And fully free! This is next level app. Thank you so much devs!.Version: 1.8.7
Hidden gemI was about to give up searching in the App Store and online to find a great comic reader. Luckily found this amazing app. It has an awesome reading experience for smaller screens. Chunky app is only available for the iPad. Was trying to find an alternative for the iPhone. This is by far the best. ComiXology is amazing viewing experience. But this is almost as good for using your own comic library. Can’t believe it’s free. Very impressed..Version: 1.6.0
