Pros and cons of myComics app for iPhone and iPad

myComics app good for

Best comic book reader on the iPhone so far. Great looking and easy to use interface. Works like a charm!
Just Two functions are missing in my oppinion, the ability to change the Info of the Comics, and the ability to Organise Youre Comics in Folders. The Reading comfort is already 5Stars :)
This is the best comic reader. Easy to upload cbr and other format.
It works quite well for reading comics, and the way you can upload comic files with their special program works well too. Though all it really is is just an interface for sorting and viewing groups of images, its great for reading comics and manga. However, I ran into a crash once that deleted all of the comics I had uploaded to it, so its not perfect.
Great app but there are a few things missing I would like to see... A site where I can upload to than download from if I choose also unless Im missing it the ability to rearange the comics on the shelves or maybe in folders? Hope to see an update on this app sometime soon
Currently, this is the best choice for PDF book reader apli! I really satisfied the quality. Beautiful bookshelf, easy page taps to read. The only I need more is that to keep the zooming % to next pages to continue to read book comfortable. When it comes, this Apli shall become 5 stars!!! PDFを蔵書として読む為の現時点では一番のアプリです。Appストア内の殆どのPDFアプリを試してみましたが、ズームが次ページに引き継がれてくれれば★5つになります。 タップでページめくりが出来る点、自動しおり機能、アプリを立ち上げた時に前回読んでいたページを開けてくれる点、数百ページのPDFを軽く読める点、そして本棚に表紙がサムネイルで並ぶ点など、何冊もの紙の本を同時に持ち歩いて読んでいたタイプの人には必須アプリです。

Some bad moments

Beautiful-looking interface. Major problem: you have to reset the zoom *every single time* you turn the page!!! So unless you can read what is often microscopic text, you wont enjoy this app, whether youre reading comic books or strips. No updates have shown up yet, as of Feb 19, 2009.
This is not good for collections. Witchblade 1-99 loaded fine, then this program put 100-126 between issues 1 and 2 ! Just because the number started with 1. That is extremely poor program planning, and as a person who bought this app to reread my issues without opening any comic bags, im dissapointed. I placed a comic in after removing an alternate cover with winrar(still left it cbr) and this app only displayed a grey image on the shelf. Potentially a great app, but still needs work. Expensive for its limited capability.
Any one else having problems viewing comics while not connected to a 3g or wifi network. Wanted the program for viewing my comics on the bus and Such. Other then this program does everything else I want. Wish it would have listed this in its features
This program worked great until iOS 4 cam out. Now, it never recognizes any cbr or cbz files I have on my iPod. Do not pay for this program until the developers address whatever bug is causing this - I emailed them months ago and never received a response.
I cant read nothing on my iphone 5s any pages that i open is always black..i paid for it and i would like to use it...
i just purchased the app and went to the website to register. gave my email addy so they can send me a link to register. well, its been like 30 minutes already and i still have not received an email to "register". ill post another review letting you know whether i got an email or not. as of right now...hold off from purchasing this app. (its now the next day) i still have not received anything in my email so i can use the app. time to get my money back from itunes...
