Last week, we saw two big games debut on Google Play - Angry Birds in Space and Temple Run for Android. While I enjoyed both games very well, my most frequently used app for the week was Droid Comic Viewer. And so today, I bring you my featured app of the week: Droid Comic Viewer by Robot Media. The app lets you view digital comic books on your Android, hassle-free.
[S]he Talks App Rating & Review
Droid Comic Viewer
by Robot Media
RATING: 5 out of 5.
Comic books have gone digital and distributed in a variety of formats. Droid Comic Viewer is an app designed to read these digital comic books, so you can follow your favorite comic series wherever on your Android device.
PROS:
- Clean and simple interface
- Supports CBZ/ZIP, ACV, CBR/RAR, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and image folders (long tap)
- Go through pages by clicking the semi-transparent buttons on both ends of the bottom screen or by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
- Pinch screen to zoom in and out.
- Automatically saves your progress in a book. Next time you launch the app, you will be taken to the same page you read last.
- When you finish a comic book from the same series (example: Walking Dead, yay!), pressing the semi-transparent button on the right will take you to the next comic book found on the same folder. That means you can easily read book after book, without searching them all over again! :-)
- Menu Options:
- Switch to landscape mode
- Go to: First, Previous, Next, Last
- Views: Fit to screen (Zoom out), Zoom in, Fit width, Fit height, Actual size
- Browse through all pages of the comic book and select which part you want to be taken to.
- Share screen to social networking sites and other communication methods via the app.
- Settings:
- Open comic book from your internal or external SD card.
- The last folder you opened will be saved so next time you search a comic book from the same series, you won't have trouble finding them. Just remember to organize your comic books in separate folders if you have too many.
CONS:
- Honestly, didn't find anything nasty about Droid Comic Viewer. Sometimes, it doesn't load files and an error would appear. But this is because the comic you downloaded is corrupt. Redownloading them seems to fix that on most occasions.
FINAL VERDICT
If you want to read comic books on-the-go with your Android, Droid Comic Viewer seems to be the best candidate for that. Despite the lack of cool animation when flipping through pages, I give it a perfect 5 out of 5. For a free app, I'm impressed by its simple but fully functional interface which allowed me to finish 60 of the 90+ Walking Dead comic books in just two days of my free time.
