Note that you can also enable ComicRack for your devices quick search functionality and you are then be able to search for comics from your home screen. Continue Reading opens the last comic you've read in the current list. The menu button will open a popup menu with some additional commands like preferences. On device with no Action Bar you can access these commands with the menu button.
The All button toggles the display to list All, Unread, Reading or Read comics. The Cover/Details/Stacks button toggles the display of the thumbnails. In Details mode you'll get a small overview about the comics (if the data is available). Stacking will group comics with the same values (as selected in (3)) into stacks.
For each comic the cover issue information is displayed. The bar below shows your reading progress. Gray is not read, dark green has already been read and light green is the current position.
Selecting a thumbnail will open the comics for reading. A long touch will open the context/action menu for the item. This menu contains commands to show other comics of the same series or display detailed information about the comics

In the full version you can edit the detailed information by tapping the pen icon.
When stacking is turned on, all eComics of the same series are put into one "Stack" and only the first comics is visible. Tapping the stack opens it. Normally single issues are not put in a stack and will open directly. You can change that in preferences.

This is where you read your comics. The page display has the usual touch controls. You can pinch and zoom and drag the image around. Double tapping will toggle between zooming and normal display. If you change the zoom mode when you've "double tapped", ComicRack will remember this the next time you make this quick zoom in.

- Top Right: Open next comic
- Middle Left: Scroll to previous part
- Middle Center: Open controls
- Middle Right: Scroll to next part

You can change these and other actions in the preferences. Left and right flings go to the next/previous page. This can also be changed in preferences.
You can access the overlay controls by touching the center of the comic display. Please note that small screen devices will not show all controls because of space constraints. You can access the missing commands with the menu key.

In the bookmarks dialog you can add new bookmarks or quickly jump to existing bookmarks.



The ratings dialog allows you to type in a quick review and rate the comics. You can also share your rating on twitter.


These are the display controls. Depending on the space available some of the icons/commands will be moved into the drop down menu. There are the following commands available:

This is the preview of the pages in the comic. In the center is the thumbnail of the current page. Here you can also quickly scroll through all the pages. A long touch on a thumbnail allows you to edit the page type (cover, ad etc.). On the right are following commands buttons:

- Previous comic
- Previous bookmark (long touch first page)
- Next bookmark (long touch displays goto page dialog)

At the bottom is the same reading progress bar that is also displayed below cover thumbnails in comics lists.

ComicRack can also remove same colored borders around pages to make better use of small screen displays. Additionally you can change animation settings and bindings of commands to tapping, keyboard and gestures.

Widget & Livewallpaper

ComicRack also comes with a widget and live wallpaper. Add and set them depending on your device and Android version.

Synchronizing with ComicRack for Windows

The cool thing of ComicRack for Android is that you can synchronize smart lists automatically with ComicRack for Windows. Synchronizing has the following advantages to manually copying the files:

You have direct access to your synchronized smart/reading lists
The comics are automatically converted and optimized so ComicRack for Android can display them fast and reliable
Reading stats and positions, bookmarks and ratings are synchronized back to ComicRack for Windows
You can read all your eComics on your handheld as PDFs, CB7, CBR, DJVU, CBT and WebComics get automatically converted and optimized

If something is not working, as a first step always make sure you've the latest version for Android and Windows.

Following steps are required for USB synchronization:

Connect your Android device to your PC with the USB cable. Pre Honeycomb devices (phones) have to be mounted as disks (or MTP mode if available). Tablets automatically mount in MTP mode. Note that you must have run ComicRack on the device at least once.
In ComicRack for Windows open the "Devices Dialog" and press the "Pair with Device" button. ComicRack will now search for valid devices. After your device has been found you can pair ComicRack with it. You can pair multiple devices with ComicRack.
Now select the lists you want to synchronize. On the right you can additionally for each list define if only unread comics should be transferred to the handheld device.
Close the dialog
Select the "Synchronize Devices" command. If this is the first time and you have selected lots of comics this can take some time. In the future ComicRack will only copy changed or new comics to the device.

If you have the Full Edition (the pay version) you can additionally sync wireless without connecting your device to your computer. You do need a local wireless network of course. These are the steps to synchronize with WIFI:

Start ComicRack for Android and make sure that "Wireless Synchronization" is enabled in preferences. ComicRack does not have to run for wireless synchronization.
In ComicRack for Windows open the "Devices Dialog" and press the "Pair with Device" button. ComicRack will now search for valid devices. If you're device does not show up, please check your firewall settings on the PC. You may have to add an exception for ComicRack.
All the other steps are the same as with USB synchronization.

After pairing you will also see a new Wifi Sync button on the Android device. Tapping this button initiates a sync from the device.
