I recently installed Tachimanga, an iOS fork of Tachiyomi and was quite surprised to see it allowed on the App Store. I haven’t tried any other comic reader, but I didn’t find the reading experience anything extraordinary. But it comes with access to bunch of extensions that all can download comics in high resolution for free. The list of extensions are pulled from GitHub in an attempt to not have them stored in app, but it’s also the first thing it does, so any reviewer would necessarily have to download these too. I’m not surprised they’ve been legally hunted by some publishers.

The reading experience on official webtoon apps is bad. Webtoon doesn't let you scroll within an episode, Tapas is buggy, both have horrible recommendation functions that shove more or less NSFW things (especially tapas) into your face without regard for your reading history or interests. The download limitations (like pay and access for a limited time, time limit on local download) that are certainly legally circumventable, at least in the EU. I don't mind paying the creators and publishers, but I do mind being fenced in unwieldy apps.
