I taken a look at PowFolio (available on iTunes or Google Play), a free, ad-supported comic app.

It lives as much as its pledge — you can checked out comics for free. My issue today, though, isn’t “I don’t have sufficient comics to read”. It’s “I have as well lots of comics to read, so they much better be worth my attention”, as well as these aren’t in that category. I don’t want to paint with as well broad a brush, however a lot of people aren’t paying interest to the publishers Antarctic Press, Arcana, Heroic, Keenspot, as well as Tidalwave. That’s why they’re ready to explore efforts like these. as well as those are the huge names included.

There are a few picture titles, including Avengelyne as well as Hoax Hunters. a lot of of the comics are likewise older, published in 2014 or earlier. In addition to the present comic section (labeled “Modern”), there’s a “Golden” section with great deals of public domain works as well as a “Kids” area.

Reading the comics wasn’t as smooth as I would like — every page or two, a “page loading” bar would interrupt the flow. (The ads always were visible, though.) The app is streaming-only, no downloads available. There’s a score function as well as a chat space (which contained a Donald Trump recommendation as well as meaningless noise effects).

I’m delighted to understand this app is out there, however the only time I’m focused on reading comics on my iPad is when I’m away from my wifi, so the streaming-only function is a dealbreaker for me, even beyond the truth that I’m not thinking about a lot of of this material.
