Taking a Closer Look

If you plan on just using the free version of Manga Storm CBR then you'll be able to connect with your server through one tap and then read your comic book. If you want to import the book you can do so through iTunes File Sharing, or through the import function.

All comics can be organized by creating folders for them, you can choose your reading direction, and you have the ability to customize the import options.

For those considering the pro version of the app there are added features such as a progress reading to let you know how far you have read in a saved book, there are shortcuts you can set up to mark specified comics as a favorite, you can give a comic book a particular reading style, and you can read everything in a group all at once.

Tha Manga app supports "Left to Right", "Right to Left" or "Top to Bottom" reading direction. The mangareader app can now detect some comic files that contain pages with non-standard naming and view their pages in correct order.
