I recommend letting users choose their landing page upon opening the app. Good thing the app loads up and reading comics is normal, not good that standard features still cause app crashes.Īlso, I liked starting at the Library page in the old app.

Tested the search feature and THAT crashed the app 3-for-3 when I tried it. 1 and iOS 12) and my Files app recognizes CBZ files to share with Panels, but it does not recognize CBR files as sharable with the Panels app.Ģ.02/3 fixed the crash upon app start.

I’m unable to airdrop directly to the app (was able to do this in ver.

When I use the “rename” feature and save, the file name reverts to what it was and never changes.Ģ.2.2 - I’ve updated my iOS device hardware and am on the latest softwares for my device and the app. File names are the exact same length of other comics in the series that did not have naming issues. I’m importing via airdrop to my iOS device (latest software) and two comics had the end of their file names cut off. UPDATE: Missing functionality - used to be greatĢ.4.4 - the last few versions I’ve had trouble other comic names. If not for the UI, I probably wouldn’t bother at all. Until then, I will continue to sync with Chunky and import the files here to organize when I get to it. Overall, I like the basic look of the UI and hope that one day the functionality catches up. For one of the most expensive apps to own, it is sad to fall short of the stock Books app included by Apple. There is almost no animation to reading beyond the generic slide. After my experience importing files, I wouldn’t want to pay for that experience again. I can’t see paying Panels monthly to cover the cost of using my local server, unless they plan to send out techs to maintain it. Lumping in services that the developers don’t pay a dime to maintain should be a separate, one-time fee to cover the cost of publishing the app. After all, some do charge the developers. Subscriptions meant to cover the cost of services make sense. It’s an overly tedious design that hints at poor development or excessive attempts to force subscription without first building the trust that it will be any less tedious. These folders also become part of the app and cannot be managed anywhere else. You must create the folders in the app separately, either to import into or add to later. As for retrieving them from the app, you might as well forget it. You can add files through iTunes, but not whole folders. This is one of the better readers from a basic UI standpoint, but probably one of the worst from a technical one.
