User Reviews

Panels is praised for its clean UI and strong organization, delivering a generally smooth reading experience. However, multiple reviews cite update-related issues: black page loads, crashes, and library/linking problems, along with frustration over monetization and paid features.

Pros

Clean, intuitive UI that aligns with Apple design.
Strong organization/navigation, including grouping issues within a series into folders.
Smooth, reliable reading experience with minimal interruptions.

Cons

Page loading issues: black screen during page transitions and slow loading, especially after updates.
Crashes and instability, including crashes when opening files and after app updates.
Monetization gating: features or UI locked behind a subscription and an in-app store.
Update-induced library issues (re-linking after updates) and related data friction.

Webtoon force rendering in the dynamic island area, which leaves an ugly black hole on my comics. Need to block the ugly dynamic island area in webtoon continuous mode. Or at least fix the paginated logic, when I scroll up to previous page, take me to the end of the previous page, not the beginning of it. IT IS THE END OF THE PREVIOUS PAGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT PAGE. This is comic common sense!!!

Simple and clean. The only thing I’d love to see is PanelsView being better. I know it’s low priority but the marvel unlimited app really kills it with Smart Panels. Very cinematic while capturing the entire panel 98% of the time, and the full page before or after is amazing. Would really love to see this feature + more in the Panels app. Loving it so far though, thank you.
