Please add JPEG XL support
JPEG XL/JXL saves a lot of space and supports lossless transcoding of JPEG files, so it's very ideal for archiving comics, please add support.
iOS/iPadOS/macOS all have added built-in support for JXL for some time, so it should be very easy to enable support in your app. Thanks.

Best comic book reader app
It does one job and does it well - displaycbr, cbz, pdf, and other formats in an easy to use interface. Provides multiple options to easily get comics to your device. I tried all the others and none compare to this one.

Great app, but could use a Files update
Love this app, have used it for years and I can’t recommend it enough. However, I do think this could be an even better app if they added the ability to access your Apple Files folder to download your files from there.

Simply Fell Behind
This app was critically acclaimed several years ago, around 2014. Having the features ComicGlass seemingly suggests back in 2014 would have made it a killer app, and it has. Now most of the features are completely broken, and I’m afraid the dev is no longer interested in maintaining the app alive.
One of the notable feature that is no longer stable is its network-related streaming and downloading feature. Back in 2014, iTunes was still strong; and most files would have been transferred over wires. In 2020, we expect our wireless network to handle most of troublesome background works, and we h

Is .epub no longer supported?
I have been using this app for many years and it worked great on my iPad mini. I recently got a new iPad and downloaded the newer version of this app and found out that I could no longer read files with .epub extension. It was perfectly fine on my old iPad mini with the older version of the app. It is still the best comic reader though, I will be more than happy to give a five star when it is fixed.

Best Comic Reader out there!
As I said in the title, this is the best comic reader out there. I’ve owned it for years, and the developer still makes updates in Japan for new devices and form factors. I literally use this app every day! A++++ work. I never write reviews and was inspired to write one for this. Thanks for your hard work!

まだ1番! (Still #1!)
I bought this app 5 years ago and it’s still getting fixes and updates for new hardware without any additional requests for money. That alone makes this app worth buying.
It also also has a feature I believe is still unique - it supports using a local server (including a simple PC file share) to stream your content from a single location. So you can store your collection on a device with lots of storage and not have to fill up your mobile device. This is brilliant!

Not sure why this app doesn’t enjoy more popularity
Huge fan, have been using it for a couple years now. Does everything I need it to. Can easily organize your collection and transfer to and from your device via iTunes and the like.

I have one problem.
I usually read comicbooks without split page view option in height mode and I prefer turning page by tapping.
but tapping functions only as view other side of the page or go to the next page, not both.
I don't like swipe to view next page because it's bothersome.
Can I view whole page(one side to other side) and next page only by tapping?? (only tapping one spot)
Can you help with my problem?
