Comics Plus

My main gripe with this app is the atrocious search function. There are things that I know for a fact are available, and cannot find them when I search by title name or author name. I have things in my favorites ready to read but if I search for it, it doesn't show up unless I scroll around randomly. If I search by genre I will eventually find one of the volumes and find other volumes under related volumes, such a frustrating way to find things. You should be able to click on the series name, or author name and see the other things available. As it is, it is very frustrating to find anything.

Its incredibly cool that it has such a massive library for free with a library card but the app has bar none the most utterly useless search feature I’ve ever used. The only time I’ve ever gotten it to work as intended is putting a piece of a title (because full titles don’t work properly for some reason) and then set it to the correct publisher, and then even that only worked for The Last Ronin. I really really want to like this app but that’s an extremely essential feature to be able to find what you want and it just does not work.

For material I’ve downloaded that reads right to left, the reader currently starts at the last page. Then, because it’s unclear how to jump to a specific page on iPad (tapping the main page area works on my android phone but the action doesn’t seem to work here), it becomes challenging to get to the "last" page to start. I’ve noticed this doesn’t seem to happen on manga I choose not to download, where it will force a scroll to the "last" item so I can proceed reading right to left. I would also be curious to see if the page turn slide animation could be turned off as a setting.
