I was just reading a Reddit post about comic book readers. I really loved the Comixology app and how it handled reading on mobile phones. It can zoom into the individual panels, making them big enough to read on an iPhone.
I’ve been using Chunky Comic Book Reader, and it works well for what I need. I decided to try Panels because a developer mentioned that they are still actively working on it. Admittedly, the Reddit post was three years old.
In any case, I installed Panels, and it seems to function well as a comic book reader. It has some useful features, but nothing that convinced me to switch from Chunky. Honestly, it might require more effort to use.
For example, the basic function of creating collections does not happen automatically. Maybe there is a setting, but I didn’t explore further. You can manually create folders, but it doesn’t group files by folder automatically. Chunky does this based on the naming convention of the files.
That simple difference was enough for me to remove the app. I didn’t find a reason to switch from Chunky based on that. The app might be good, but for me, there was no clear benefit in making the change.
