Perfect Viewer serves as a high-performance Android application for viewing images, comics, and ebooks. It supports numerous file formats including EPUB, CBZ, and PDF with extensive customization options for serious media consumers.

Detailed Review

Perfect Viewer establishes itself as a robust multimedia viewing solution for Android devices, specializing in comic books, image collections, and ebook formats. Developed by Rookie001, this application has maintained relevance through consistent updates and comprehensive format support, positioning itself as a go-to solution for users with extensive digital media libraries. The application's core functionality spans three primary media categories: image files (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, TIFF), archive formats (CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR, 7Z/CB7), and ebook formats (EPUB, HTML, TXT). Additional format support for PDF, XPS, and DJVU requires separate plugin installation. The page layout system offers auto single page, auto dual page, and orientation-based switching, providing flexibility for different content types. A notable premium feature enables colorization of black-and-white images for donated users through a separate donation application. User experience centers around a highly customizable interface with an overwhelming array of configuration options, which both empowers advanced users and potentially overwhelms casual ones. The application performs efficiently with large file collections and maintains smooth rendering even with high-resolution images. Real-world usage patterns show particular strength in manga and comic reading scenarios, where users appreciate the dual-page viewing options and archive file support that maintains folder structures. User feedback trends indicate generally positive reception with specific feature requests. Daniel Strom (2024-03-13) notes long-term reliability despite complex settings, while Mr.Twilight (2024-03-23) praises manga reading capabilities but requests expanded filter options. Several users including Bhirawa Maylana (2023-05-05) have requested additional customization features for cover management and reading resumption. Some stability issues were reported by y0y0GiGi (2023-12-09) regarding crashes during extended slideshow sessions with specific configurations. The application demonstrates notable strengths in format compatibility and rendering speed, though the interface complexity may deter less technical users. The donation model for advanced features like colorization represents a reasonable monetization approach. Ideal use cases include technical users managing large comic collections, ebook readers needing format flexibility, and archivists working with diverse image formats who require reliable performance across extensive libraries.

Apparently I missed all the "fun" mentioned in other reviews, because I've been using Perfect Viewer for over a decade now and not had any issues. Yes, it's advanced, but it's not that hard to change settings, other than the vast quantity of them. As a solution I recommend a basic website with both screenshots and a text/searchable listing of available settings/functions ### My request: EXIF (or some other area) should show image metadata (file size, dimensions, format, path if accessible, etc).

I have been using this app over a year for reading manga and manhwa and it's great so far lacking only one thing that it doesn't allow to use image smooth filter unless we are on page mode. it would be best to add this option to other modes as well. Additionally it would be great if can add more scaling filter like mitchell. Thanks For This Perfect App.

Comicat no longer works on my tablet since upgrading to Android version 11 and they took away the privileges Comicat had to read from my SD card. I am still pissed at them for that... "hey, let's take away some of the usability our customers have grown accustom to...", at any rate... Perfect Viewer looks a lot like Comicat in many ways. If you are looking for a replacement for Comicat, this is the one to get. In a week or so, if I have no issues with it I will be paying for the Pro version.

Pretty good app and easy to use, I like the bookcase view and wish caliber had similar. My one gripe is that when I view a cookbook in it, it adds a stained brown paper background on the page which for the life of me I cannot work out how to change. It maybe more authentic but it's quite hard to read black text on a brown background. All in though, for a free app it is perfect for comics and smaller collections

This is the best CBR reader for ChromeOS! All the app I tried prior to Perfect Viewer either were filled with ads or wouldnt allow me to pull files from an SD card. This app allows lots of custimization and has a good library organization system. Id definitely recommend this app for anyone who wants to read comics on their Chromebooks.
