Without a doubt in my mind I think this is the finest comic viewer available on a mac. I specifically say VIEWER because that's its job. It doesn't download, manage, ituneify, or promote.. It simply handles the job of viewing comics -- AND MORE -- with ease and simplicity. In PathFinder I can use SimpleView to browse directories of images with a couple of clicks, drag a compressed file onto SimpleCOmic and it will find all the things it can view and you are off.

Hats off to this developer for such an amazing free application. Thank you.

Really good viewer. My only complain would be the changed icon. The previous black/white icon was better than this one, maybe it can be optional..

Of course it is only a small point compared to the viewer itself. One of the few programs I keep in dock. :)

I like it a lot! My only suggestion is that when viewing the two page spread, there be a small break between the two pages. Make it easier to distinguish where one page ends and the other begins.

Great app right here!

One suggestion: black background on fullscreen view instead of white.

You can set the background color in the preferences.

Total newb to e-comics.
Just downloaded my first .cbr file and am very pleased with this program. It follows the OSX look and is very simple/elegant.
I am hitting the LATER button for now, but will definitely donate if I use it more than a few times.
Kudos!

Great App! It's the best Comic Viewer! Easy to use and the support is great!
Asking for 3 or 4 features and the answer came at the same day. The features in 2!
Perfect!

For me, the best application for reading comics.
And the updates are consistent.
Thanks to the developer.

Jeffne Schelin commented on 06 Oct 2007

Simply the best of its kind out there. Very fast and intuitive. I have been using this program for over six months now and it's getting better and better with each releases.

Thanks the developer for providing us with such a great software!

Almost perfect. Only thing missing is more keyboard shortcuts like in CDisplay for Windows.

If you could e-mail me a list of the shortcuts and functionality that you think are missing I would be much obliged. I don't promise to add any of them but I will see if any are a good fit.

thanks for replying!

I am on Windows now, do you have access to it? I find CDisplay the perfect comic viewing experience, but I can tell you what I miss on SC when I get back to my mac if you can't run CDisplay ;)

Dancing Tortoise Software (developer) replied on 12 Jul 2007

I don't have access to a PC right now and have never used CDDisplay. On top of that there seems to be very little online documentation. I will need your help.

kioshi replied on 20 Jul 2007

Oh forget my comparison.

There's no doc on CDisplay because it's not develope anymore.

Anyway the thing I like the most about CDisplay is the speed you can scroll with the arrows, and you've managed that.

And since I've discovered the 'hidden' shortcuts on SC (Space to move down, right/left arrows pressed for 1 sec to change the page) it's really as good as CD to view comics (on this topic of scrolling and all, because as a whole Simple Comic has many more features).

Thanks for this wonderful app!

FET had trouble on 11 Apr 2008

SimpleComics is the best cbr/cbz reader for OS X. It is fast and simple, but there is one thing I need to change: the Default page layaout is two pages and I want it to be just one. Everytime I open SimpleComics 1.6.1 it goes back to "two pages" (so i have tho press Cmd+P). Can I change it permanently?

Thanks,

[Version 1.6.1]

To disable two page layout uncheck the the "Two page spread" in the general preferences.

FET replied on 14 Apr 2008

Shame on me... that was easy!!!

Thank you.

How on earth do you actually view a comic? I see no instructions whatsoever, no way of typing in a website, no way of setting up your daily list of comics.

Agreed, it's not very intuitive. Having trouble myself.

arauchfuss (developer) replied on 14 Dec 2007

I believe that there is a misunderstanding. This is not an application for aggregating web comics and then displaying them. Think of it instead as a very fancy and specialized version of preview.

GuyNamedAleck had trouble on 09 Feb 2007

What happened to the zoom. You used to be able to press command and + or - to zoom in and out of the page, but that doesn't work anymore. What happened? Did they just forget to put that back in?
