It usually runs out of memory when it comes to archives in general. If it does open the archive, then there is a chance for corrupted images full of artifacts. The back button doesn't behave like it does in other apps, causing mistaken exits highly likely. In the file manager, make it go up a level. In the comic viewer, make it, by default, go back a page or exit the comic, but stay within the app.

The swipe to change pages and the buttons to change pages do not always work the first or second attempts but they do eventually. Other than that, this is a wonderful app. I did have to convert some CBR/CBZ files into ZIP after some memory errors but that was quick and easy. I have tried some other comic apps. This one is the greatest by far.

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.

On most CBR files, it'll throw an error about being out of memory. Doesn't matter if you're on a device with 512mb, or 2gb of RAM, and will always do it on the same pages. Open it up in another reader, on the same device, zero problems. Long time user, but this has just got to be too much.

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.

I liked this reader a while back, but since I started managing my files via Google Drive rather than transferring files back and forth to the SD Card I noticed that this app does not work. It needs to register a URL handler for .cbz and .cbr files. For now I uninstalled and switched to Perfect Viewer.

I would recommend you convert your files to CBZ rather than CBR in order to avoid the out of memory error. Great app, easy to use. It was better before recent updated though which brought in adds, and changed the page browser screen to a black page (before the comic would be in the backround). Still very good though.

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.

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.

A. G. u. Apr 30, 2013     

Recent changes have improved quality greatly. Took me a bit to figure out how to get the menu up and modify the settings. Now that I have it set to my preferences it serves my needs perfectly. Many CBR files have issues in this app, yet work in all other apps.

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.

A. G. u. Nov 7, 2012     

This app has a very nice interface, but struggles too often displaying even simple comic files, while other readers have no issues at all. When they fix its reliability I will give it another shot as well as a 5-star review.

A. G. u. Aug 1, 2012     

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)

The controls are slightly unituitive, the zoom doesnt work very well at all and after using for several days it wouldn't load my images anymore due to some weird error that I tried in vain to resolve and that would randomly reappear at the most inconvenient times.

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.

In order to use this software, you will have to look in the custom controls to learn what gestures mean what and be able to make these gestures (and not make these gestures) dependably. A few extra ghost controls for things like bringing up the menu would have been nice.

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.

A. G. u. Oct 6, 2012     

This app is way better than any comic book reader I've ever used. It's small, it operates fast, and the interface is incredibly clean and simple. Literally my only complaint is the "Oops, Sorry couldn't read" error, which I'm not entirely sure is because of the app. Fantastic application, I recommend to anyone who takes their comics on the go.

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.

The. A. A. Feb 15, 2014     

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.

In my quest to find a functional comic viewer I ran across ACV. While this program has better page and comic selection navigation it suffers with numerous crashes, just the same as Onion Comic Viewer. It especially fails with graphic novels, which are typically larger files than regular comics. It starts to read until it reaches "maximum memory" (about page 32) then crashes every time I tried to open to the next page. This occurred at almost the same point with larger comics. I have since moved to Comic Rack which has not crashed once, can read very large files and has amazing navigation features.

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

When this app was first released, it was easily the best of its kind. Unfortunately though, the app landscape has filled out and moved on with time. It was lean, though a bit glitchy when dealing with archives, but despite all the years minor bugs were never fixed. The changing nature of Android has broken this app further, and the developers dumped the source code hoping outsiders would develop the program for them, while they reaped the benefits. It's been over three years since the code has been touched.

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.

A. G. u. Jul 23, 2016     

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?

Lau. M. Aug 24, 2013     

I have a new nexus tablet and paid for the no ads version of this app. It only views about 20% of comics I attempt to open. Do not waste precious memory on this defective app. Use perfect viewer, it is appropriately named and has yet to give me a memory error. You have been warned.

Was flipping through a comic last night and only reached page 100 when it complained about running out of memory. It told me to either unpack the archive or close the app and run it later. Why even bother with a cbz viewer if you have to unpack it all to view it? I'd just use the gallery on my phone and flip through pictures.
