Features & Capabilities

Welcome to iComic, the premier application for reading comics on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

iComic makes great use of the multi-touch function for simple and effective page navigation and zooming to provide the best portable comic book read you will find. iComic displays high resolution comic pages (jpg, tif, or png image files) contained inside compressed zip or cbz format archives. Using the built-in download function, comics can be downloaded from the internet or from a personal server and stored locally on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Your downloaded comics are stored on your device and so are always available for reading, even when you have no internet connection.

As iTunes resizes images to a compressed format, iComic is also useful for displaying images for other uses e.g. maps, high detailed photos and ebooks (convert your pdf books to jpeg and you have a perfect reader for those large pdf files, normally unreadable due to the high memory requirement).

iComic currently provides three methods for turning pages: swiping your finger on the screen; by taps in the screen corners using the Corner-Tap method; or by Multi-Touch (tap once to page forward, twice to page back). Zooming is by the familiar pinch method used in Safari and other applications or by double tapping the screen when in Corner-Tap mode. The application is very stable and can easily handle zip files up to 60MB with infrequent problems observed with files of much larger size. Individual image files inside the zip files are constrained to a maximum 3 million pixels (e.g. 3,000 pixels high x 1,000 pixels wide or equivalent) though for the sake of battery conservation much smaller sizes (~1000 pixels high) are generally used.

User Reviews

I used this app for years, and it runs well. But over the years, I got more and more comic books with high quality digital files. In which, the JPEG files have a resolution of around 6000 x 4000 pixels. And this app cannot handle them. It is pity.

I've used this app for quite a few years and it has served me well. It could do with a little revamping in terms of newer features, and maybe make managing favorites a little better (exporting, marking favorite while viewing, etc). I use it for viewing various comics in archives where I mark my favorites and review those months later. I don't use all the features of the app so I can't say much on the rest of it.
