- 📦Panels - Comic Reader updated to version 3.13.10Improvements
- Comics streamed from an OPDS server now sync their reading progress to your other devices, so you can pick them up there
- When a file can't be imported, Panels now tells you which one and why instead of failing silently. Single images can be imported like comics, and a file is no longer skipped because a comic with the same name is already in the library
Fixes
- Reading progress synced from another device now shows on every comic in an iCloud library, including comics you haven't downloaded. Running Force Resync from Reading Sessions repairs comics that were missing it
- Continuous scroll with Avoid Device Margins off fills the screen edge to edge again, without drifting across the scroll
- Continuous horizontal scroll no longer moves a page forward when showing the reader controls
- On iPhone Duo, vertical scroll no longer drifts sideways when the page fills the width of the open display in landscape
- Komga: a book whose progress was changed in another Komga app no longer keeps reopening at, and sending back, that old page after you read further
- OPDS filter options show their names exactly as the server sends them ("DC Comics" no longer appears as "Dc Comics")
- Large iCloud libraries no longer re-check every comic each time the app is relaunched, and covers that couldn't be read for a moment are no longer deleted and rebuilt
- Fixed a crash on the Downloads screen when a download finished
- With Remove Borders on, turning pages in a large comic no longer lags and heats the phone, and no longer crashes the app… more - 🌟Panels - Comic Reader featured by Appleapps · DE

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
