Description
Do you want the most features? the best reading experience? Comic Zeal 9 has them both.  It was the first comic reader in the App Store, it’s still the best. 

• Organize your collection how YOU want. Put series inside series, use dividers to manage long lists.
• Automatically sorts comics into their series.
• Super fast reading view with two-page mode and assisted panning.
• Page position lock so you don’t see the same borders page after page.
• Does the right thing when you rotate your device, many comics have a mixture of portrait and landscape pages.
• Lightning fast search, by comic title and tags.
• Parental lock for individual series.

IN APP PURCHASES

For a very reasonable price you can also unlock
•  Comic Finders, create smart series that show you unread comics from all over your library.
•  Seven new, gorgeous themes.

COMIC IMPORT 

• WI-Fi using a web browser on a PC or Mac.
• Drop Box, iCloud Drive, etc using iOS document sharing.
• AirDrop from a Mac.
• iTunes via USB or Wi-FI

THE SLIDER

Comic Zeal features the innovative slider, it's a pointer, a container and a toolbox, all in one.  You can push stuff into it, then go anywhere in your collection and drag it out.  It's an incredibly fast way to organize your comics.

With the slider you can:

• Reorder comics, put them into the slider in the order you want them, then drag them out.
• Create reading lists (by making copies of comics that don't take up any space on your device)
• Create series and dividers right in the app.  Dividers are lists that can hold comics, series and even other dividers.

TIPS

• Tap the ‘i’ info icon for comics, series and dividers. You can rename entries, sort a series or mark items as read or unread.
• When zooming, hold the gesture for half a second.  Comic Zeal will lock that zoom and position when you turn the page, it's a great way to hide borders.

Please note, there is a problem with Google Drive’s iOS extension that doesn’t allow you to open comic and other files that they consider to be ’non-standard’.  You can read more about it here: https://goo.gl/EKVRbN and here https://goo.gl/XXYRQI . You can open Comics from the Google Drive app itself using the 'Open in ...' option, just not directly from Comic Zeal.

F%#* YACReader and the others please update

one of my favorite apps on here, even when it was acting funny in ios 15. now it does not launch at all. i even deleted and redownloaded nothing. shame too. a great app Hate the competitions lay out import organization. This was the best and would drop the other readers even though I paid for them in an instant to get this working again. Teach me how to code the upgrade and I’ll do it or give me access and I’ll learn.

Update The App! It’s Broken.

This was my favorite comic book reader. It felt like if I actually physically owned my digital comics. Now I’m sad because it no longer works after updating to iOS 16 on my iPhone and on my iPad. Please update the app. Get someone in your company to write some extra line of code to fix whatever broke it. Then provide syncing across devices and iCloud files transfers. First fix what’s broken, I don’t mind using my computer to transfer the files for now.

so sad broken :(((

I love this app! But now with IOS 15, it crashes and doesnt even load. At least in last couple of versions there was a work around. This was a 5 star app. Come on guys, just do a wee patch to get her working :)

Used to be the best

iOS 16.2 completely broke this app. It just flashes a black screen and then crashes. I’ve been using Comic Zeal for at least 12 years. It’s sad that the developer abandoned this app.

Lack of updates makes it too unstable

Used this for years but as time goes on it becomes less stable to the point of being unusable. Had to switch to something else

Obsolete app

Comic Zeal was great when it first came out. Got continually worse over the years as IPadOS continually updated. App not updated in years and developer site is gone.
