One finger zoom

I would love to see is an easy way to zoom on smaller screens. I really would like to see a 1 finger long press to zoom and scroll around the page. If you could figure out a smart way to zoom, your app would be perfect!

    Great to see this moving forward, it’ll make reading on mobile much smoother.

      Hi! Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about this feature. It's a bit tricky to implement properly because it conflicts with some of the existing gestures in the reader. I'm still working on finding a clean way to integrate it without breaking other interactions.

      Thanks for the update! Really enjoying the app still! Looking forward to more updates!

      Finally added! To use it, just double tap and hold on the second tap. It will zoom in and let you pan around while holding your finger down.

    What do you mean exactly? A long press to zoom in, move around while keeping your finger down, and then zoom out when you lift it? There's already double-tap to zoom in and out, which works pretty well on small screens, but do you think long-press would feel more natural or easier to use?

      With a long press and hold anywhere on the page, Panels activates a dynamic zoom-and-scroll mode. While holding your finger down, the app smoothly zooms into the content, allowing you to pan naturally by simply moving your finger around the screen—no additional gestures required. It’s an intuitive way to explore detailed panels, especially in complex comic layouts, without lifting your finger or interrupting your reading flow.

      The double tap does work, the single press just worked very well for reading. I still prefer the navigation of my library on Komic, so it’s a nice to have not a deal breaker for me!
