Apr 3, 2015
Thanks again for using iComics! Here's a few enhancements to hold you over until the next batch of major updates!

- iOS 8 Today Widget
This widget shows the latest comic you opened in each collection, providing you both a quick reminder on what you were reading, as well as a very convienient way to pickup where you left off.

- Option to disable iTunes backup
If you keep all your comics on your PC, a new setting has been added in iComics settings to explictly stop both iCloud and iTunes making their own backups of those comics.

- Improved double-tap to zoom on comic pages
Double-tapping once will make the comic fill the screen, and double-tapping again will now zoom in 140% of the page size.

- Sorting Control in Grid Mode
You can now sort and filter comics both alphabetically, and by reading progress when looking at comic covers in the grid mode, as well as the list mode now.

- Sorting control is now reversible
If you prefer sorting your comics from latest to oldest, now you can!

- iOS 7 native animations
Many of iComics' custom animations have been replaced with the new animation features of iOS 7, resulting in a much more 'native' feel to the app.

- PDF reader fixes
Certain comics were loading at 90 degree rotated angles, or at a very low resolution. These issues have now been fixed.

- Swipe to delete
At the request of a user, swipe-to-delete has been rebuilt from the ground up for the new comics list view.

- Polish and Italian language support

- Additional bug fixes and general refinements

Copy comics from your desktop Mac/PC as well as from other local apps using the new integrated iCloud Drive feature of iOS 8!

After several users left reviews stating some of their comic books were jumbled compared to their PC readers, this version of iComics now uses Apple's industry standard algorithms to sort comic pages. This is the same set of algorithms that power file sorting in Mac OS X Finder.
If your comic pages are still jumbled, please send an email to 'support@icomics.co'.
