ComicFlow is a comic reader, format converter, and library manager for iPhone and iPad, priced at $2.99 as a one-time purchase with no subscriptions or ads. It reads CBR, CBZ, RAR, ZIP, and PDF files directly with a native comic reader, requiring no format conversion before you start reading. The app offers paged and vertical scroll reading modes, three page layouts (single, double spread, automatic), and full right-to-left manga support with a mirrored page scrubber. A built-in converter exports comic archives to PDF at three quality levels (High, Medium, Low), with batch conversion for multiple files at once. The full library manager includes custom collections, star ratings, tags, notes, page bookmarks, and automatic reading progress tracking. ComicFlow supports seven languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese), works fully offline with no internet connection needed for core functionality, and includes optional iCloud sync for reading progress, bookmarks, and ratings across devices. Published by Applestan, an independent iOS development studio based in the Netherlands.
