pretty good but needs 2 thing change page with volume buttons and automatically move on to the next book/comic
Reviews for YACReader Remote
← Back to YACReader RemoteI hated reading manga/comics on my computer so I got this app. it's a real game changer.
This app does not do what I expected, and the refund 1 hour later was refused, so I would stay away from this unless you know it is not the same as the IOS version.
Amazing app. Works just as you'd expect from a remote app. Hope to see local libraries soon though.
I'm surprised this doesn't allow you to choose where downloads are placed. Edit: And no panel read option? I paid $5usd on iOS and felt good about it. I paid $1.50usd here and feel ripped off
Lacks the panel to panel read mode of the iPad version. Also it would be nice if you could add comics from your device not just the YACReader Library.
Really enjoying this app, and thankful it was released! Would love to see its feature set expanded, but glad for what we have. It would be awesome if we could get a secure method to serve your library over WAN.
Couldn't get it to work. I opened my Windows firewall for it and think I opened the port on the Comcast firewall, but the phone could never see the 'server' on my pc.
Amazing app. Good reading experience and feature set. Ability to import is super useful and smooth. Pair it with the free desktop app for organising your library and you've got yourself a full comic reading ecosystem. Thanks for your amazing work.
Honest about its limits, but the developer is trustworthy and single-handedly creating this set of apps, and getting better and better. I expect he'll eventually work in on-device storage as he has with the iOS version, but the remote library access works very smoothly and rendering is excellent.
Great app for what it was was made and I am aware that this is the first version, but I noticed some basic missing features: 2.) Option to disable page transition animation 3.) Save current page 4.) Set cover page Giving 5 stars anyway because I'm confident these features will be added in the future versions :) Edit: Just checked, found the webtoon Mode but I think it would be better to add it in the arrows option where the arrows pointing downward would mean webtoon mode. Will make do for now
For the most part pointless. At least one new library has to be created on the server, which has to be updated per console with every new comic. The background of the app changes color randomly. The biggest problem is that the libraries are readable by everyone without any login. The only advantage over e.g. Dropbox is the preview of the covers.
After having read a lot of comics on the YAC reader on my computer, I was excited to hear that they had released an Android app. Unfortunately my experience is not been a good one. When I go to set up my server via the QR code everything does transfer over easily and all I have to do is put in my server name. However, when I load my server on my phone the comics do not show up. Hopefully they fix this soon. At this point I've wasted $5.
Love this app! The frontend and backend work amazing! I've tried a few other programs but this just works! It feels very light weight and doesn't hog heaps of system resources. The dev is very active and replies straight away to email and is willing to help. I'm hosting the server on a NUC and using cloudflare to tunnel into my home network through a domain name and this works perfectly!
My preferred way to read comics on my phone and computer. Seriously, this should be the standard of how to read comics electronically, as while viewing comics its not overcomplicated and provides ease of use. This app combines with the YACReader Library on Windows to manage and access your catalog of comic files. Find comics online or in torrents, as well as create your own scans of comics and make cbz/cbr files with winRar. I genuinely have never been this on top of my ever growing collection.
Amazing app! Only thing I'm missing is panel by panel reading on Android. As I want to switch away from iPad, missing this functionality is the only way I see myself moving on to another comic reader.
*Fantastic* app for a reasonable price, super easy to connect to library and import comicbooks. Well done to the developer(s) indeed. However, there's something that's bugging me insanely - I was counting on bookmark support on the app and it is not the case... Any chance this could be implemented any time soon? My old comic reader has this feature and I do need to use it a lot; without it I'm not sure I'll stick with YAC... which would be a crying shame since it's so good!
I've used Yac on my PC for years, so you could imagine my excitement when I found out it was finally coming to Android. However, there seems to be an issue where none of my comics will load on my phone. Just eternal black screens. It should be mentioned that I also have Yac installed on my tablet and that seems to work just fine with only a couple of instances where my comics took a lot longer to load than usual. It's my favorite reader, but a shame that I can't use it on my most used device.
Excellent comics reader and server. I've run into some issues regarding progress sync between local and remote files, but don't mind due to functionality being able to easily access, organize, and store my comics on a remote server. Overall, it's a solid comics experience as long as you configure the networking access on your home server correctly. The developer is very responsive on their site and assists with config help when needed.
Good app for many people, but does not do what I need it to do. I'm on the road most of the time, so I was hoping I would be able to access my library remotely. I do not have access to my router to enable port forwarding, so no way to do that. Ok, I can sync them to my tablet when I'm home. Except the app will not work with external storage, so my 1TB sd card is useless. We need the option to use sd cards for our library.
