Amazing reading app. Love it
2024-05-15	Ch*****	I really wish it had more features, it's too mwah. While when am using the app it feels more like a file manager than an app dedicated to comic reading, so I ask the developers to try and change the UI if possible. And adding simple features such as page flipping animations or dark mode. Which gives you that feel of actually owning the said comic or manga.

2024-03-10	Ek*****	This recent update is really bad, I can't jump to a certain page I want in a book, and when I leave the app I have to start reading the book from the beginning again plus the history clears regularly which is annoying
