NYMPHE  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. :)

SHARKIEST  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.

TOOLPLAYERFAN  Great app right here!

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

STARCHIE  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!

FET  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,

FRODE  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.

ARAUCHFUSS  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.

NOREBIRTH  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!
