Review summary

Overall, reviewers see ComicGlass as a dependable, easy-to-use comic reader with broad format support (CBR/CBZ, PDFs, and archives) and solid library management with easy device transfer. Long-time users praise its longevity and ongoing updates without paid upgrades. The app is frequently described as simple yet feature-rich with a clean interface. Some note occasional stability issues after updates and bugs with certain file names or formats (ePub, Katakana), and a wish for ongoing maintenance. Despite this, many call it the best option for viewing and organizing comics on Apple devices.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface with a simple, complete feature set.
Broad format support, including CBR/CBZ and archive formats (zip/rar/ace) for viewing and extraction.
Strong library management and easy transfer/sync to devices (e.g., via iTunes).
Long-term reliability with years of use and ongoing updates without mandatory paid upgrades.

2026-04-02	Na*****	JPEG XL/JXL saves a lot of space and supports lossless transcoding of JPEG files, so it's very ideal for archiving comics, please add support. iOS/iPadOS/macOS all have added built-in support for JXL for some time, so it should be very easy to enable support in your app. Thanks.

2021-06-24	Ki*****	It does one job and does it well - displaycbr, cbz, pdf, and other formats in an easy to use interface. Provides multiple options to easily get comics to your device. I tried all the others and none compare to this one.

2021-04-11	Su*****	Love this app, have used it for years and I can’t recommend it enough. However, I do think this could be an even better app if they added the ability to access your Apple Files folder to download your files from there.

2020-05-24	Ri*****	This app was critically acclaimed several years ago, around 2014. Having the features ComicGlass seemingly suggests back in 2014 would have made it a killer app, and it has. Now most of the features are completely broken, and I’m afraid the dev is no longer interested in maintaining the app alive. One of the notable feature that is no longer stable is its network-related streaming and downloading feature. Back in 2014, iTunes was still strong; and most files would have been transferred over wires. In 2020, we expect our wireless network to handle most of troublesome background works, and we have made our preferences to streaming, instead of downloading. Now, does ComicGlass pull through? No. WebDAV is a mess; it crashes constantly. Its server side app also crashes constantly. No need to mention SMB or FTP. Moreover, server side app was not necessary to make in the first place; Mac has been supporting SMB for quite a time. What this app needs is maintenance. Most apps of this caliber would have made a paid-upgrade version or subscription-like payments to keep the project afloat. Seeing how there has never been one mentioned, –perhaps Japanese dev website has some info on the matter– I can only imagine this app was simply thrown off the bus.
