A Smart Comic Reader alternative for Android and Windows
Smart Comic Reader is a paid app for iPhone and iPad that zooms to a panel when you double tap it and then moves from panel to panel. As of November 2026 we found no version for Android or Windows. LiveComics reads one panel at a time on Android, Windows, iPhone, iPad and in any browser, from one library in your account, and it can read the comic aloud.
Is Smart Comic Reader on Android?
No. Its App Store listing names iPhone and iPad, and as of November 2026 we found no Android or Windows version. Its library is a folder on iCloud Drive, kept in step across Apple devices, so it suits a reader who stays on an iPhone and an iPad.
Does LiveComics zoom to each panel too?
Yes. Choose Panel view when you add an issue, and every page is split into its panels ahead of time, in reading order. Each panel fills the screen, you tap to the next one, and the whole page is always one switch away. Panel view is free on every issue.
How do I move my comics over?
Smart Comic Reader keeps your comics as ordinary files in a folder on iCloud Drive, so they are still yours to add anywhere.
- Make a free account at livecomics.to, or get the app from the App Store, Google Play or the Microsoft Store.
- In your library, press + Add Comics and pick the files. You can pick many at once, or paste a Google Drive or Dropbox share link instead.
- Choose Pages only, Panel view or Voiced and press Add.
Each file can be up to 2.6 GB. A free account imports 30 comics a month and holds 1 GB, about 20 single issues, with no card. For a bigger collection, Collector is $3 a month for 50 GB and lifts the import limit.

Does my place follow me to my other devices?
Yes. Your library, shelves and reading place belong to your account, not to one device, so an issue you start here opens where you left off on any other screen you sign in on: the iPhone and iPad app, the Android app, the Windows app or a web browser.
Can it read the comic aloud?
Yes. Choose Voiced when you add an issue and every speech balloon is read in order by two synthetic narrators matched to each speaker, with the drawn sound effects and a soundscape under every scene, while the panels turn on their own and subtitles show each line as it is spoken. Full cast (every character voiced) comes with the Enthusiast and Power plans. Every issue on the free streaming shelf is voiced already, free to stream with a free account.
Does it read manga right to left?
Yes. Choose Manga as the reading type when you add it and the panels run right to left, the way it was printed.
Should I keep Smart Comic Reader?
If you like it, yes. It is a well reviewed app on iPhone and iPad. The reason to add LiveComics is the screens it doesn't reach, like an Android phone, a Windows PC or any browser, and hearing the comic read aloud. Your place in Smart Comic Reader doesn't come over with the files, so each series starts again here.
