ComicShare
Reviews and Complaints

This is the best comic book app, at least on the iPad pro. You can import from smb shares directly, cloud storage or use wifi to transfer.
The app displays comic books just fine for cbz formats. It's quick and no nonsense.
I took a star away, since it takes a little bit of effort to understand how to use it, but it is, at least for me, a fully featured app that ticks all the right boxes.

Please add ‘delete page’ feature. Thank you

Good SMB and FTP support. Streaming done in the correct way

winrar uses rar5 by default, but the app dose not support :(

it‘s gonna be perfect if this can reformat or only view picture on the web comic

Some rar files can't show the last page when I'm using webdav.
Those files are fine.
This happens to about 1/3 of my comics.

I have all my comics on a raspberry pi powered smb shared folder. This app works flawlessly to browse and view everything. From finding the file I want to opening it takes seconds. Love it!

I'm korean user.
I want use encoding option "CP949"
This is alike EUC-KR.
But, EUC-KR crash my folders.
Only CP949 is sort my folders appropriately.
Please, add CP949 encoding option at FTP Function.
Thanks.

I tried to connect my NAS via SFTP. It kept notifying "network timeout". I am pretty sure that my server has been properly setup as I can get access to it from any other client except this app. Hope there can be a solution or I can get a refund.

I’ve used most of the comic readers available, but just recently discovered ComicShare. I think it’s a great reader, and in my opinion, has the potential to be one of the best available.

The first thing that stands out is that it does offer streaming (meaning you can read books from your PC or server, etc without having to download them to your iPad). It also has nice filters so that your books looks great when you are reading. There are a ton of options, which can be daunting at first (some of the translated descriptions of what the options do aren’t very clear), but once you experiment with them a bit you can really customize your setup. It also offers customizable tap regions for your screen, so that you can change what taps in certain areas do, and even change the size of the tap regions.

There are a couple things that could use a bit of work, which is why I rated four stars. The main one would be that refreshing your folders so that you can see new books you have added to your server does not refresh sub-folders… meaning you have to go in each individual folder and refresh to see new material. This was the biggest problem I had… it would be great if the sub-folders refreshed and if, in fact, the whole thing just auto-refreshed without having to click a refresh button.

There are also a couple features I would like to see added:
- There is an option to remove the iPad homebar as you read, but it keeps coming back each time you turn a page. Would love it if that could be permanently hidden.
- The biggest feature I would like to see added is a tab under “sharing” that will show the most recently added books to your server. There is an option to sort your shared library by date, but if you have things in sub folders, this doesn’t work very well, and it is still hard to locate books you have just added as you have to hunt through sub-directories (I have a sub-folder for each letter of the alphabet). It would be great to see all those new books on one tab.
- I don’t use OPDS, but I know a lot of comic reader guys would like to see support for this, ubooquity, etc…

This reader is very good… I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future.
