Perfect app. I think the smoothing type of the image inside the magnifier window should also be configurable, like the main image (bilinear, nearest neighbor, average, lanczos, etc.) When I used it, it seemed to only display in bilinear even though I already set the main image to nearest neighbor. Thank you for making this very useful application.
Somewhere along the way, this just stopped working on me. The OTG extension app (Source Plugin) didn't work anymore with the USB OTG never loading the folder, but I just stopped using that. Then with my latest phone, it just takes forever for it to load any folder. Somewhere along the way, the default google gallery app surpassed this in functionality and usability. While the utility is still lacking, the Google Gallery app works, while the PV App here just isn't usable
I really liked this app for a long time, but the latest update seems to have trashed the underlying database. Books are still marked as Read / In Progress / Unread, but the Filter function returns a blank shelf when I try to sort on any of these. It also shows every book as New when I use that filter, regardless of how long it's been on there. Is there any way to restore or repair the app so that it correctly displays books based on their read status?
Would be perfect if I could set each file upon the bookshelf between long page (Korean) view; and single/double (Japan) page views. Love the set up :-) for the bookshelf. Although your missing the long page view code. Add a retracting bar with an adjustable menu options upon the page screen. Make these adjustments and I would gladly pay a small amount for the license to this app.
I had downloaded this app onto my phone years ago and have watched it grow into a great comic app. There has never seemed to be any glitches on my phones and it works very smoothly. I found that the preferances management has always been its biggest issue. Way to indepth if you are looking for a simple set up. The new look for the bookshelf where the folders show groups of books instead of the old cover within a folder looks good too.
the app is good but the page gets cut when scrolling while the page is zoomed. The zoom should affect all pages and not just the current one
Lanczos scaling makes this the most preferable comic viewer option for image quality. The graphical interface can still be improved a lot, as it does not really stand up to other apps of the same category. That said, the reader itself (which I am focused on) works perfectly fine and delivers what I expect it to (decent image scaling).
Although it does work, I find it to be far from ideal for comic books. When you try to zoom into boxes, as you would while reading a comic, you have to be really careful with your dragging. One slight move and boom you have zoomed out and got to another page. Then you try to go back to the page and zoom, boom, the app crashed! So yeah it works but barely...
Edited- Now a 5 star review because there is an option to keep the backlight on, I just missed it. I'll start by saying I havent found a comic yet that this app cant display. It's lightweight in terms of both size and battery drain. My only issue (and this is my fault entirely) is that it doesn't seem to have the ability to keep the screen awake and when I tap to stop the screen timing out I inevitably turn the page. So this one extra permission would make this app a total dream for me.
Was my go to app for my tablet, but the recent update wrecked it, and it couldn't even perform a basic exit out of a current comic and a look at a list of other comics without crashing and asking for an error report to be submitted. Every. Time. Moral of the story... Do not install 'updates'. Uninstalled. Time to look for another reader.
