What are Reddit's favorite android apps in the category comics?

android and iOS links:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viz.wsj.android&hl=en_US

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shonen-jump-manga-comics/id594237344?mt=8

Hopefully that works.

I've installed Easy XKCD and set it as the default to open any xkcd links. Works like a charm, has a better interface than the mobile site. I think it might have been made by a redditor. But yeah, it's certainly annoying that the mobile site doesn't turn up anywhere unless you make it.

Thanks for the nice app! I've been using xkcd Browser for years now, and while it's very good feature-wise, yours is a welcome change from that holo clutter.

I'll point out first things I've noticed, good and bad:

1 Really smooth! I like the zoom in-and-out material animations, though the image, and especially the text 'jumps' when settling into their places. Not a big deal, but breaks the experience a bit.

2 As I'm sure you know, every xkcd comic has a number (the last one "Hemingway" is #1540, for instance); you should put that somewhere. It's nice for reference. Then maybe in time, an option to directly go to a specific comic number... Also you should give credit to explainxkcd.com instead of just saying "Explanation".

3 I'd prefer a 'favorites' option and 'star this' FAB instead of 'share'. xkcd Browser has this, though what I don't like about its implementation is that it doesn't save those preferences to the cloud so you lose it every time you get a new device or flash a new ROM etc. A favorites option with cloud-backup would definitely be my biggest request.

4 Put the 'shuffle' button on every page so we don't have to go back to the homepage to shuffle again?

5 Swipe left-and-right to browse previous and next comics, so we don't have to go back to the homepage to see them?

6 Some time in the future: "New xkcd comic available" notification?

7 Right now it crashes on me if I try to rotate my phone into landscape, though I don't have your latest update yet, and I'm on M Preview on Nexus 6...

Again, thanks for the app. I'm keeping it :)

There's a mobile version of the site you can use, or on android there's the xkcd reader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floern.xkcd

You can also search for the comic being posted to r/xkcd

Awesome!

I have a tip for the xkcd-addicted: download Easy xkcd, enable its offline mode, and then assign xkcd links in Slide to always open externally with it. Result: instant loading of xkcd links, with optional inverted night mode and alt text!

It's amazing!

reLife is a so called Webtoon. You can check webtoons.com (They also have an android app, here), they translate and host some of the most popular webtoons (They are Korean tho, while reLIFE is japanese) out there. For example Tower of God, Noblesse, Girls of the Wilds, The God of Highschool, Magician (Art gets siginificantly better), and many more.

I can also recommend Black Haze, which is not hosted on webtoons.com

For manga: Tachiyomi. Great stuff. Beats MangaRock in many ways, it even got MAL integration! For offline comics: Challenger Viewer. It may look unintuitive with confusing lotta options at first, but if you managed to understand them it becomes very powerful and customizable.

I use both, and they're free!

I'd be interested in this. I'm currently using xkcd Browser which is pretty full featured, but a little bit unstable and not very ascetically pleasing.

ok so its part of the XKCD browser but on my android phone its two different apps for whatever reason anyways in the upper left corner change it to what-if and enjoy :)

android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floern.xkcd&hl=en

ios: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xkcd/id303688284?mt=8

FYI idk anything about the iphone app so good luck

Shonen Jump has the subscription you mentioned. But it's regionally limited, since Manga Plus is available in most regions it hasn't been able to make monetary offers yet.

Why not just use CDisplay? It's been the go-to Comic Reader for over a decade, and is free. :)

For Android, there's Perfect Viewer.

Do you really want a comic reader app from IGN? It'd probably be full of advertisements injected every 2nd page, mine every single movement you make for data, and hog about 3GB RAM. No, thanks, official doesn't always mean better. ;)

The download system is indeed abysmal, though.

This is a great comic reader for Android. I'm not sure about your Chromebook questions, but this app can use Drive as a storage provider so you can open them from within the app.

Astonishing Comic Reader https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aerilys.acr.android

I've tried a bunch, but I keep coming back to comic rack.

It doesn't get a ton of updates, but it really doesn't need them either.

To everyone looking for a good comic/manga reader I suggest Challanger Comic Reader

I love infinite scrolling readers but nearly all of them are laggy/clunky but this one is the smoothest ever.

There are many advanced options to play with. As a start change the default main menu theme to colorful. After trying it out if you don't like something check all advanced options and see if you can do something.

Do you have an app to open them with? Cbr is not a format that android just supports. Check out some comic readers on the app store.

Astonishing Comic Reader has a really clean look and interface.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aerilys.acr.android

Idk if there are any, but I use getcomics.info for comics, and Astonishing Comic Reader to read them, it's really good.

I'm gonna assume that since you're looking for an APK, I assume you're asking about a reader for CBRs and CBZs? If so, Perfect Viewer is about as perfect as you're gonna get.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer&hl=en_US

Don't steal, though. Not cool.

Pigasus VR Media Player (Full Screen, no Oculus TV app) & Challenger Comics Viewer

I really don't see your point, you saying me saying Line Webtoon is going to ruin the app? Lol it's not even a socail platfourm it's a reading platform

PerfectViewer from the Android store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer&hl=en_US

Alternatively you could switch to the free open source xkcd Android client "Easy xkcd" which displays them flawlessly on it's own:

https://f-droid.org/app/de.tap.easy_xkcd
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tap.easy_xkcd

There’s a pretty good xkcd browser app for Android, it has a What If section, and I can confirm it has all the hover text.

Here’s the link

I use the 'easy xkcd' app on my android phone. You can customise a few things in there, and inverting the color on the comics is one of them.

Link to the app:-

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tap.easy_xkcd

For a comics /manga server use Ubooquity, as may have been suggested before ; ^)

For a Android client use Challenger Viewer which supports not only Ubooquity and OPDS but Mega, OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive cloud services as well as Ftp, sftp, samba/CIFS, webdav & UPnP/DLNA.

Totally for free, no ads, though there is a donation version but no extra features.

Android tablet with Perfect Viewer. It allows you to stream most known filetypes over my WiFi, which means my 100+ gig collection doesn't clog up my tablet's minuscule space.

LInks for the lazy

• Tachiyomi

• Perfect Viewer

The one I use is Challenger Comic Viewer.
Its completely free so try it out. Don't forget to check out the advanced options etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kill.geek.bdviewer

I use PerfectViewer with its PDF plugin.

I usually download the files directly from the JoJo's Colored Adventure site and read them in phone using Perfect Viewer.

Used to use Astonishing Comic Reader but doesn't work for me anymore. It can't seem to find my CBRs.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aerilys.acr.android

I currently use Perfect Viewer. It just works and doesn't have ads like other free options.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer

Had both versions of the Nexus 7, just recently upgraded from the 2013 N7 to a Shield Tablet K1.

My N7 was my go-to E-Reader device for a long time and was perfect. Nice sized screen, fairly light. The 7" screen on it was just a bit too small to read comics however, so I never bothered.

When I upgraded to the K1 I afraid the extra weight of it might make reading a bit less enjoyable. But luckily it's just as easy to hold the tablet up.

I was surprised when I tried reading some comics that the mere 1 extra inch of screen space allowed me to read the text comfortably. I thought for sure I'd have to get at least a 10" tablet for comics.

So I'd say that the K1 would be the perfect tablet to get, even if you're not using it for it's main purpose of gaming.

And just as some added info, I've tried a number of comic readers and settled on the paid version of this one for now, it seems to have the basic features I want even if it doesn't have the prettiest interface:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyo.comicrack.viewer.free&hl=en

And I used Google Play Books for regular books.

You should definitely try out Challanger Comic Viewer. Its my favorite comic viewer as I love infinite scrolling readers and this one is the smoothest ever.

Change the default main menu theme to colorful and it will look great. After trying it out if you don't like something check the options menu. It has tons of customizations.

Astonishing Comic Reader is great! The only Android comicbook app that is as good as the ones on iOS imo. It even has chromecast support!

These two are both very good and each has its strengths. Let me know which you like more.

As far as preferred ebook format goes, cbr are the most commonly accepted for graphic novels and are completely platform agnostic.

Basically, create images of your pages numbered in ascending order 001,002,003 etc and save them into a rar file such as "My_Comic.rar".
Then rename that to "My_Comic.cbr".
And that's it, you're done. Double pages don't need to be handled specially, a decent reader will figure out that 005 is twice the width of 004 and 006 and treat it accordingly.

For comics, I currently use Comic Rack on my Android tablet.

Wikipedia even has an article about the format and various compatible readers.

edit: Nothing is stopping you putting up several different files, ie a mobi version for the kindle store, a pdf for people who have no idea what a decent reader should be and a cbr/cbz for people who are actually likely to read your book. ;-)

PerfectViewer allows for access over LAN without having the comics be on the device. I've found it in general to be very fast and responsive, although accessing comics over LAN can be a little slow (my tablet is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 v1 so it's pretty old at this point though)

Unless you have a VPN set up between your Nexus and your PC you would have to be on your PC's local wifi network, and you would need to be able to access your PC via it's local IP (192.168.1.something usually).

I'd rather use Challenger Comics Viewer than Tachiyomi for handling local cbr/cbz comics for the simple fact that it can read files from any folder instead of only from its own folder.

Yes, the UI looks ancient, but the reading experience is excellent and it has tons of options.

All the chapters are available at Viz.

App

Website

The latest 3 chapters are free, but anything before that requires a subscription (2$/month).

The app is just called Shonen Jump.

IOS

Android

If you want online applications, check Tachiyomi. You have to download the apk from Github, and searches for scans from various websites. HOWEVER, I have noticed that in my case (Likebook Mars) it's draining too much battery, is really slow, and a it reboots after a bit, I don't know why.

What I always recommend, is Perfect Viewer. It doesn't search online, it's only for offline files (cbr, cbz, rar, zip, etc) but it has perfect compatibility with epaper readers unlike almost anything else I have tried. It's a bit complicated to learn all of its functions, but it has nearly every customization options you might need.

So, personally, I use my ereader with Perfect Viewer whenever I want to read a new series, and for a few pages of a new chapter of ongoing series, I just read them with Tachiyomi on my phone.

Falls du Android hast, ist diese App zu empfehlen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tap.easy_xkcd

Hat die XKCD Wiki integriert, wenn's mal wieder zu sehr Astrophysik und Programmiererjargon ist.

Auch sehr zu empfehlen (und integriert) ist Randal's "What If...?" Blog.

Agreed; Oglaf is amazing, but the site site desperately needs a redesign for mobile.

In the same vein, the XKCD mobile site isn't great, but Easy XKCD makes it a joy to read.

The Weekly Shonen Jump app has the chapters for free right now too:

google

apple

You'll probably have to use a proxy/vpn for that as well.

You can also read them on your computer. :) Just use CDisplay.

On any random Android tablet you can use Perfect Viewer. I read comics on my tablet all the time. :)

You can read it in mangarock app in android or ios and its 76 chapters and complete ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notabasement.mangarock.android.titan ) this is the app .... but you when you search for doridosim they will tell you to install another app version install it its really good and have lots of manga

If you don't mind plugging into your computer, there's Comicrack for syncing

Otherwise if you convert the comics to PDF you can upload them to Google play books and access them synced in whatever device

I don't know what you want exactly. But after downloading the .cbr comic files (from wherever you may), I found Astonishing Comic Reader a pretty good app for reading comics.

wha? Here's the apps' English version: android and iOS. According to the app, they do not have any publishing in Europe and I can't fathom why. But its not as if its only a japanese app for japanese people

Check out Challenger Comic Reader.
It has many advanced options. You can just set it up however you want. Super high image quality or battery saving lower quality etc...
And has a super smooth infinite scrolling viewer too.

I didn't know about the mobile site (thanks /u/grottenholm), but I can alternatively recommend this Android app. There's also one by the same developer for what if.

Perfect Viewer - I've not used it in years, my Play Store review is dated 2012. But it was great then, and is still being updated.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer

Edit: typo

My favorite way to view is the open-source app Easy XKCD(Play Store).

Why go to the trouble of converting them to .mobi? Just use .cbr and .cbz format (they are simply numbered jpegs in a rar or zip archive and renamed) and use a regular comic viewer like Perfect Viewer.

Just checked it for you and Challanger Comic Viewer works great on my S4 multiwindow.
And its my favorite comic viewer because I love infinite scrolling readers and this one is the smoothest ever.

Change the default main menu theme to colorful and it will look great. After trying it out once don't forget to read all of the options menu as it has tons of customizations.

I downloaded xkcd browser (Android) and spent a few weeks going through and reading them all. I check for new comics daily. Alternatively you can go to the xkcd site and click First" and start reading.

B+ for batoto https://cylonu87.wordpress.com/manga/b-manga-reader/

Manga Rock for everything else (but also includes batoto): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notabasement.mangarock.android.titan

Eventually Manga Watcher 2 should be the best around when it comes out of beta.

I have that exact same tablet and will happily recommend it as well as a comic reader. The screen is beautiful for the price point and the main reason I upgraded from my older TF100.

As for readers I use Perfect Viewer. The TF700 isn't exactly a processing powerhouse anymore so I find this app is nice and light and doesn't slow things down. It's got a wide range of reading formats too. It's free, or $3.00 for the donate version.

Perfect Viewer, I've been using it for years, and it has never failed me. Also it's completely free.

It's recently got the much needed graphics overhaul, and is sporting the Material design pretty well.

It supports LAN, and FTP setups so you can access your comics from anywhere. Takes a bit to setup at first, but once it's ready you don't ever have to touch it again.

The options to add LAN and FTP settings is located under:

• Menu > File Browser > Drop Down Arrow (next to Search Icon)

If you have an old phone or tablet that you're turning into your comic book reader, and it's not all that powerful, then I'd recommend turning on Low memory mode found under:

• Menu > Preferences > Miscellaneous Settings

Also you can turn up the Cache size if you're streaming Large volume comics at once, the default is set to 100MB:

• Menu > Preferences > Browse & navigate Settings

Aside from that there are about 100 other options to customize if you so choose, but it's worth the time to go through and try them out to get your perfect setup.

It's impossible. I mean, this app has 1-5 million downloads and my app is pretty much like it, except I restrict the distribution to only in my country. Why does Google not notice that?

I have an android and my version has been working fine. Although you can't find it on the play store anymore you can still find it on the google play site.

Here's the android and iOS link if you still can't find it.

Manga Rock is pretty good.

Don't know how smooth it is on a phone, but it works great on my tablet.

I have been using Challenger Viewer for years. You can basically customize every aspect of it. No ads, lightweight. TachiyomiJSK and TachiyomiSY is better for manga since you can find content through the app, but Challenger Viewer is great if you already have the cbr or cbz files.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kill.geek.bdviewer&hl=en&gl=US

Medio complicado hoy en día que en un mismo local tengan completa una colección de más de 15 o 20 tomos. En tu lugar iría a alguna comiquería que haga reservas o encargos y les pediría todos los tomos que necesitás. No los vas a tener en el momento, pero es lo más seguro.

En caso de leer digital, si bien hay apps y sitios yo recomiendo descargarlos en formato .cbr (hay muchos sitios para descargarlos) y leerlos desde una app, Challenger Comics Viewer es la que yo uso.

Thank you so much! 🧡 If you download the WEBTOON app, you can find it by searching for 'See You Next Year': I'm not sure how the Android version works, so you may have to search in the 'Canvas' section for the comic... I'm more than happy to help you find it if that doens't work. :) Thank you again!

I use an Onyx Boox reader (Note 2), and the manga experience has been flawless. I went with the Note because I wanted a larger screen to avoid needing to zoom in on small text. I'm likewise not tied to any store or ecosystem, so I use Perfect Viewer as my reader app.

>I'm only tempted to get an android eink reader cause I occasionally read manga and graphic novels

To offer an opinion from the other side, I have a Boox Note 2 that I use regularly for a mix of manga, LNs, and regular books. I spent a little time setting it up with a few apps and the launcher I like, and now I find it's simple and straightforward to use on a regular basis. There really is no tweaking or extra steps: turn it on, open Perfect Viewer, and start reading.

A Kobo will offer most of that experience without the initial setup, but the ability to use any manga reader I want, along with not needing to worry about being locked into a publisher's ecosystem, made a Boox the better option for me. Having the ability to use other Android apps is also very useful on occasion.

Just a heads up, it is also on the official shonen jump app on android and iOS.

A membership is a measly 3 bucks a month, and that gets you all the way up to chapter 120 (though they do 'limit' you to reading 100 chapters max per day). Of course, if you live somewhere where getting physical copies is easy and you want to have them, then that's great, but otherwise, here you go.

if you're on Android you can open the zip file using Perfect viewer app

If you're on PC change the file extension from 'zip' to 'cbz' you can open it using sumatra pdf

Most of the comics I've read are in my local language and I don't think they're available in other countries as well. But I'd recommend an app called Webtoon. It has a wide variety of different genres and the stories are pretty good too. I have read quite a few and really liked them

• Uninstall Comic CBR Viewer.
• Install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer

• and then install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer.plugin.source

• run Perfect Viewer
• check whether it can access GDRIVE content

Comic Screen is a really good comic reader for Android. It's free and supports almost any format. It has some ads, but they'll never annoy you while reading.

Just use any app that supports opening files via SMB by streaming it, the app that I know available on Android can do this flawlessly is Comic Screen, for iOS I use ComicShare though this app doesnt support streaming it, so it download the comic file first before you can view it so free up some space if you plan to use this. For Windows, I use CDisplayEX.

to access it while outside your local network, I suggest hosting a VPN on your NAS so you can connect to it directly, you can also use Zerotier as well if your ISP is under strict NAT.

Ja za stripove na telefonu koristim https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aerilys.acr.android&hl=en_US&gl=US samo iskopaj negde cbr ili cbz fajl sastripovima (a toga ima) i to je to. Cbr i cbz su default formati za pakovanje stripova, u principu je zip/rar sa jpeg/png slikama unutra.

Shonen Jump's (the magazine where MHA is published) official app. App Store link for iOS / ipadOS Play Store for Android

^(edit: formatting)

Here are my personal recommendations:

Android - Perfect Viewer, free all, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer&hl=en_CA&gl=US IOS - YACReader, paid app, https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/yacreader-comic-reader/id635717885

They both work really well for my needs for my iPhone and Samsung Tablet.

There is an official Shonen Jump app for Android. You can read an issue there for around three weeks. Here you go. the app.. This is what I was referring to.

Sure bro. When I read on my PC I use l CDisplay (not CDisplayX) on mobile I use Perfect Viewer.

In Android there is Perfect Viewer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer Works well, no ads, and has a manga mode and tons of options. I'm not an avid comic reader, though, I've used it only 3 or 4 times.

It's a webtoon and yeah you should definitely check it out when you're done with the anime, maybe even before that if you get tired of the anime pacing.

You can read it for free on the official source, the Webtoon site or mobile app with the same name. There are currently 490 chapters available with weekly releases.

You can even use App like Tachiyomi(Pirated) or shoun jump( Available on playstore).

Shonen Jump

Tachiyomi

For Tachiyomi , use extension like Mangabox , MangaDex, MangaFreak , MangaHere.

:)

I was talking about this. Yes its from Viz Media and i felt it was good. TBH i don't like reading mangas online i would prefer if i could buy a physical copy but i know buying the whole volumes would be expensive for me so i always end up reading them online anyways.

You can read it on the Webtoon site or mobile app. You can read it for free until chapter 481 and until 484 with fastpass. 485 and 486 are only available in Korean right now.

This is all considering you're reading the English translation, other translations might have less chapters available.

Mobile games will absolutely scratch that itch. Try webcomics, they are extremely quick reads chapter to chapter but can give a great story. I'm a little out of my wheelhouse but I know people like to use webtoon

I am only trying to give you some ideas, but in general social media has become extremely unhealthy to consume unless you set very strict fences. Unfortunately most platforms actively work to tear those down in the name of profits. Spend a little time and explore your interests and try to find a healthy alternative that makes sense for you.

I use Perfect Viewer in a tablet with it's double page settings to be able to visualize two pages at once, it has support for a lot of formats, from pdf, image files to various EBook formats

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viz.wsj.android

Its a free app. I think it gives you the last 3 chapter of most stuff free but if you want access to the backlog its like 2 bucks a month.

I'm in the US. So it might not be in you place of residence.

100% Shonen Jump.
Latest 3 chapters are always free, otherwise you'll have to pay the $3.99 per month to read any chapters that aren't the first 3 or the latest 3. You can get a month of free membership, use that to read upto date and then cancel, then just read each chapter as it comes out and you'll be reading up to date on a legit service for free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viz.wsj.android&hl=en_AU

Viz Media are the official source, it does have a subscription of $3(AUD) a month, so not in the hundreds and once you've done reading you can cancel the subscription.

Comicrack for the comics/manga. It's dead and does not get updated but it works and it's the best I've found, I've read literally hundreds of books on it across multiple types of devices and it's worked great. For ebooks the ReadEra one looks good, that Moon+ Reader has some suspicious permissions so I personally would just skip it but you can make that call yourself.

This?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viewer.comicscreen&hl=en_US

Looks interesting but I don't download anything that "Contains ads" or has any " in app" purchases besides a full program price that is clearly articulated under read more. Fuck installing anything with a subscription. Fuck overpriced invasive software. Fuck the king.

Is there a way to use this without paying or a link that isn't on the play store that actually tells you exactly what you are downloading onto your personal device?

I despise advertisement and do not trust any app that puts more of that shit on my phone.

Perfect viewer is amazing and if they could get a decent non local storage viewing option going I would gladly throw them $ bucks.

But this looks like a fucking rip off, I can't even see how much it costs on their webpage. I can read local comics free just fine, I do not know their interface but their company is okay with shitty advertising practices, does it cost less than 2-3 bucks bc google apparently gave me some free money that will expire soon so wasting it on this seems like maybe an okay deal but If this program wants access to my location it can suck it.

Shonen Jump app If it's not available, try Manga Plus

I use Pefect Viewer since 2013 maybe and even if I tried many more I think it's stil the best, no game. It has everything you need for free but if you want more control on image (saturation, color balancing and stuff like that) you need a paid plugin. No ads, no silly request to review app.

The only downside of the app is that the UI looks still somehow old, even after the recent updates the dev did in that department.

Perfect Viewer is your best bet. It can recognize whenever there is a 2-panel landscape, but you have to set it in the settings. It can be quite tricky, but it has all of the features you might wanted. Give it a try, it's the software I use too.

I just wondering, if they're local, isn't any image viewer actually will do?

Anyway, maybe try Perfect Viewer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer

It seem same with that Challenger viewer. And it also my favorite long time ago. I'm not into manga/manhwa/comics these days.

Whatever you decide, for maximum quality use Perfect Viewer, and always prefer zip / cbz / rar / cbr files, instead of pdf. It's the best combination of quality for manga on android e-readers.

Also, Tachiyomi is a good application to have, mostly for ongoing manga.

Mangaplus is just a showcase app. As such, it doesn't have anything but the first and last chapters of the featured manga.

You can check either the WSJ or the VIZ apps, and login with your info to access the backlogs. Apparently, the WSJ app is better rated.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viz.wsj.android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vizmanga.android

Download Viz's Shonen Jump app. Contrarily to popular belief, it's not region locked. If you are able to download it, you can use it world wide.

Thank you. I store my manga collection on my samba server, so I prefer a local app. I tried Challenger Comics Viewer the other day, it took a few mins to add a 50m zip file from samba which is not acceptable for. It reminds me of how perfect the perfect viewer was.

Are you building a VR app or an Android app? Look forward to your release. Thank you

For those wondering, the same applies to most manga as well, with the popularity of scanlations. Scanlations are translations by mostly professional teams who take jaoanese scans of the manga, and translate it and present it neatly. However, since manga is much harder to easily access across the globe (it's getting better), most people will opt to use apps/sites sich as mangarock or mangadex, where scanlations are posted. This doesn't support the industry/creator pf the manga, so it isnt great. If you really love a manga and want to support an author, my best recomendation would be to buy the volume releases. However, if you feel you have to keep up with weekly releases as much as possible, phone apps such as the Viz Media Shonen Jump app and Manga Plus by Shueshia are subscription services whihc have officially translated chapters around 2 days after their release in Japan. Between the two, I'd say the Viz media app is better. They're not incredible especially in terms of being super user friendly, but their catalogs are growing and you can directly support the manga indistry/authors with these apps, while also staying up to date with weekly releases.
