## Review summary

Users praise the app for being easy to use and good at handling CBR files with solid features, but experience is marred by intrusive ads, unclear pricing, lack of updates, crashes, and cloud/library sync problems. The app often feels abandoned, which overshadows its functionality as a comic reader.

### Pros

- Easy to use
- Reads CBR files smoothly / supports common comic formats
- Solid features and well‑thought‑out UI for a comic reader
- Generally reliable performance for many users

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and pricing friction (popups, trial prompts, and upgrade prompts)
- App appears to be abandoned / not updated for years, leading to compatibility issues and occasional launch failures
- Crashes and instability (startup crashes, slowdowns) on some devices or after OS updates
- Cloud/library syncing issues (Dropbox works inconsistently; difficulty linking Google Drive; some comics not showing in folders)
- Pro pricing and format limitations (additional payments for formats; unclear value of the pro version; not worth the cost for some users)
