Ratings and reviews

I want to like this app, but it has issues. I store all my comics on a network drive and access via SMB. With CDisplayEx it has issues displaying certain pages of any random comic at any given time. Whereas another app called Comic Screen displays just fine via SMB. Having the paid version of CDisplayEx, I really want this to be my go to app, but this has been an issue for for some time, but it appears to not be an issue with my setup, but the app itself.

Awesome app I've used for years: simple, attractive design, very capable. One recent problem: for some reason switching from an old Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 to a new Tab S8 Plus caused the app to load files and thumbnails very slowly, and to re-load them repeatedly after they'd already been loaded. It's weird that on the faster device the app is much slower, and has hiccups.

Original review below. I was very upset with a bug in the CDisplayEx software, causing it to crash when trying to open folders on Samba with a large number of items in it. The programmer got in touch with me soon after I posted the review with a workaround that really worked! Great customer server, great program with some excellent upgrades in the new version. I am very please I purchased this app! **********Original Review************ This would have been a 5 star app until yesterday. This has always been a very reliable program for me, until the new update. I am running it on Android, connecting to a Samba drive. I am trying to connect to a folder over Samba with over 600 files in it (originally said 300, this was a mistake, is there a problem with me hitting a max limit?), and CDisplay crashed and booted me out. Can read other folders, but when it gets to one with a very large number of files, the program crashes.
