Astonishing Comic Reader

What Astonishing Comic Reader is for

Astonishing Comic Reader is a reader for comic books you already have on an Android device. It lists the comics it finds, opens them, and keeps them organized, so it suits someone with a sizeable collection of digital comics. The developer's listing says the app is no longer maintained and that a new version will follow, so the features below describe what the listing currently states rather than an active release.

Organizing and finding comics in your library

Comics can be sorted into collections that you name and arrange yourself. The app can also suggest comics related to a collection, which fills it faster than adding each issue by hand. A search tool looks through the library so you can find a title without scrolling through everything.

The library can include comics synced from a cloud storage provider, not only files kept on the phone or tablet. Because of this sync, the same comics can be read from storage elsewhere, provided the cloud account is linked.

Reading pages and moving between issues

Pages are read with a simple set of navigation controls and a zoom feature for looking closely at detail. When you finish an issue, the app can jump straight to the next one in the series, so a run of issues can be read without returning to the library between them.

Casting, Snapshots and Muzei wallpapers

Cast support lets you send comics to a larger screen. Snapshots store parts of a page that you choose, so you can keep and share the panels you want to remember. If you use the Muzei wallpaper app, Astonishing Comic Reader can generate wallpapers from your comics.
