iPad app for comics

[snitzer]

Probably been brought up before but I'm not a fan of the search feature. Any who, just wondering...do folks have a recommendation for a comic book app? Focus would be for reading, storage, etc. Golden age material primarily.

 

I've seen a number of different apps but wasn't sure which way to go. $5+ adds up real fast. Thx!

I've used comic zeal with good results. I actually just bought the iPad version based on the iPhone copy I had before.

So do you download the app, then the app has access to a library of issues or is that a manual process? I'm sorta fuzzy on the relationship between the app and the actual titles - clearly. Is there a charge per title downloaded?

Are you looking for an app for reading comics, or managing your collection? As in, what do you mean by "storage?"

[snitzer]

Reading comics...and by storage, I meant the ability to save and organize said books. I'll be looking at downloading issues.

Stanza is free and allows you to import cbr/cbz files from your pc when syncing.

Comic zeal is nice and easy.

 

Then get collectorz too. (Great when it's not crashing)

I use ComicBookLover.

 

Works perfectly but is primarily aimed at Mac users as there is no manage facility on the iPad app.

Thx for the tips...will need start looking into all of these!

I don't think any of the mentioned apps have the ability to download comics through the app. At least not public domain stuff.

 

Mobile apps generally come in two flavors - stuff like comixology that let you buy comics, mostly recent stuff, and apps that let you add your own books which could be public domain or less... legal types.

seems like it would make natural sense to download via the app itself...even if you just "faked" your way through it. i'm sorting through this part of the equation now as well
