Pros and cons of ComicGlass [ComicReader] app for iPhone and iPad

ComicGlass [ComicReader] app good for

Still the best comics reader since its first release. Transfer : easy to use, reading : every settings you want, and more !
But god it looks ugly! Make it nicer so it looks more attractive and you get known. Best points: great reading interface, synchronize with iPad/iPhone bookmark/last read page. Way better than any other like comiczeal I used until now
This new app has so many ways to get manga/comics into you idevices which makes it the one stop shop to read comics. Can improve in the UI and perhaps incorporate a built-in web browser to download manga/comics would make this app complete. Great job!!!
Its a very nice app to read comics. The setting make it easy to read.
Great for reading, love the ability to customize, although could be a bit more intuitive, and the fact that you can create folders is awesome.
The only missing function that restrain me to give it 5 stars is that I didnt find a way to edit the folders name...

Some bad moments

Worse than a simple picture viewer without DLNA support... you have to install a proprietary server on your storage device to access your data... disappointing...
Cant find my NAS server like in ComicZeal. Auto-finding not works. Without ability to add nas server, this app is far behind ComicZeal.
Im terribly disappointed: this app is a ripoff. I decided to spend money on a comic reader app to get quality visualization, intelligent zooming behavior and fast page loading: this app has NONE of these! Cloudreader and Sidebooks are exactly the same, if even better and FASTER at loading the pages, but they are FREE.
This was the best comic reader on the App Store until recent updates made it incredibly crash-prone. One of the best things about comic glass is the fact that it works with SMB or WebDAV to download comics from your shared drive. No more. Every time I start a download it crashes halfway through. Its been this way for the last 3 updates and Im starting to lose hope.
In a situation that I use ftp protocol and non-unicode charset file list, if you choose "sort by name", this app will be crashed.
