Web Comic Reader

I got sick of losing my place while reading Supermassive Black Hole A*, so I decided to create a webcomic reader app for Android.

This app simply keeps track of where you leave off reading, that way you can go back later and automagically start off exactly where you stopped.

Get it on Google Play HERE, or visit its homepage here.

This will work with any webcomic, and you can add arbitrary urls to keep track of. I appreciate any feedback, and bug reports begrudgingly encouraged!

Why did I decide to buy a Windows phone? :emo:

The good news is that it looks like libGDX will be coming to Windows phones soon! http://badlogicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14085&p=63984#p63984

I only read 3 webcomics, but this is really awesome nevertheless! :slight_smile:

I think I need it. Does it show when a comic has a new strip?

Thanks! I’m hoping that this will help me get into all the webcomics I’ve been curious about for so long! Maybe it can help you branch out too!

Nope, at least not yet. Since it isn’t tied to a particular format or webcomic, there isn’t a great way to add feed information. Plus I’m hoping that this makes it easier to read webcomics in bursts and come back to them, because it’s impossible to keep up with everything as it comes out!

Hey I’m with ya. Windows Phone itself is great but developers don’t want to put the resources into developing/porting their apps for it. :emo:
