Team review

" Immersive comic book ! "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.2 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (7 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) is quite low. The application is either new, or limited to a specific area that only a few users are interested in.

Neutral review Requires too much info by anonym
Partial problem fixes. I will review again soon. Using PayPal requires billing address!? Wtf for? App requires location data?!! WTF? Why do you need my location for me to read comics?!?! Also app permissions include Google play billing service, but can't select that option in app! Huh? 3/5
Neutral review I love it but..... by anonym
Great app.....blows they don't use the google wallet like before but if you have an amazon or paypal account you can get over it fine. Where the comics are stored is another issue....even if you try to move the app to an external SD card it'll still take up the device's memory...kinda limits how much I'm willing to buy wink wink 3/5
Negative review Smart Lists...what? by anonym
How is this supposed to be an improvement? I can no longer tell which of my comics are unread. I can barely tell the difference between what's in my device and what's in the cloud. This was not an improvement and I'd roll back the update, if I could. Please bring back the series view with unread badges. I use this app daily and it's now a lot more painful. 2/5
Positive review Works great by anonym
I love this app. I can give it 5 stars and stop buying physical books that clutter up the house! 5/5
Negative review by anonym
The smart list update makes it hard to find anything, nothing is in any sort of order that makes sense 2/5
Neutral review Do it please by anonym
Can you make an option to download comics to SD card. But the app is awesome 3/5
Negative review Update is awful. by anonym
The new update is an abortion. It was fine how it was. 1/5
Negative review It WAS a good app... by anonym
Why do you guys keep ruining a good app? The new interface is completely unintuitive. It's very difficult to find recently purchased books, especially when reading across multiple devices. 2/5
Neutral review Update is rubbish by anonym
Smart lists are HORRIBLE. The only reason I still use it is because of the guided view and being able to buy comics through the app. Without the smart lists app is a 4 -5 3/5
Neutral review New updates are killer. by anonym
Since the new update today I can't load or buy books. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice on my tablet and still nothing. This app was great and I really looked forward to my weekly books. Now I can't even read what I've already downloaded. Seriously guys, why try to fix what wasn't broken? 3/5
Positive review by anonym
The most recent update has fixed the issues I was having with downloading comics to my 12 inch tablet, very happy with it. 5/5
Positive review by anonym
Huge catalogue, high quality, frequent sales, a number of free issues, dedicated and competent customer service, easy to browse even for absolute newbies. This app is just perfect! 5/5
Negative review Bug after update by anonym
The 'show full page on enter' option in settings is unresponsive now. Tick it on, tick it off, it shows full page irregardless. 2/5
Positive review Great to use but... by anonym
Needs a save to sd card feature, my comics fill my tablet. 4/5
Positive review Convenient by anonym
I have one suggestion that could make your app even better. Please program a Friend's tab where I can go to become friends with a community or a specific friend of mine and see his/her library of what they have or haven't read (with a completion bar underneath the book as well), their ratings and wish lists. 5/5
Neutral review Needs SD support by anonym
I feel like I was able to save to my SD card in an older version and now I can't. When SD support is added, I will give ***** 3/5
Positive review Amazing in everyway by anonym
This app is my first jump to digital comics. And I have to say it could not be more enjoyable or easier to make said jump. 1010 5/5
Neutral review Really nice app but needs SD card support! by anonym
Still could use SD card support. Latest update for me makes it hard to manage purchases. I much preferred the previous version, it seems like the new smart lists don't update themselves immediately when things change. Less is more. The reading mode and overall quality is still very good. 3/5
Negative review Unreadable by anonym
I've been using the app for years. Now, on a brand new tablet it is downloading images so low res that I can't make out the dialog. 1/5
Negative review Poorly-concieved update by anonym
What don't I like about the update? Lots! Its slow. New purchases arent visible once downloaded. Its tiresome to look through all purchases to find the new stuff. App crashes when searching. The 'purchases' and 'downloads' sections have dissappeared. Why? Pls reverse the recent "upgrades". Add functionality to properly sequence purchases not yet downloaded. Currently purchases are haphazardly displayed, not allowing for easy sequencial downloading. Also create folders for customisable storage & viewing. 1/5
Negative review My library is baffling by anonym
Used to be very good before Amazon took over. Used to be when you purchased a comic it would give you the option to download it after checkout, now you need to go into your library and search for it. After a recent update they've changed the way your library is layer out that makes finding comic books I've just purchased ridicule hard, no way that I can see to sort it by release date or recently purchased. Incredibly unintuitive. 2/5
Negative review Cluttered and unintuitive! "Smart mode" is a mess! by anonym
The whole UI looks like a total clusterfuck. It is very unintuitive that IDK where to find the books I just bought! There was nothing wrong with the old UI so IDK what prompted this HORRIBLE change! 2/5
Negative review What happened? by anonym
Performance has gotten significantly worse since the last update and the owned books section is much less intuitive to use now. Please fix. 1/5
Negative review What a terrible update. by anonym
Another Terri le update. Now when you make new our hates...you have to search to find them. You used to be able to purchase and read, then you had to purchase, download and read. Now you purchase, go on a treasure hunt to find them, then download to read. Who's idiotic brainfart came up with this update? 1/5
Neutral review by anonym
Still no external SD card support! The Dark Horse app works brilliantly with an external SD, but Comixology still fails to allow storage on add-on storage. Now with Dark Horse comics available through Comixology and no way to merge libraries and store on an SD card, I *strongly* recommend anyone interested in the Dark Horse titles to purchase them directly through the Dark Horse app rather than with this one. Comixology devs need to fix this ASAP. 3/5
Neutral review Good app but needs lots of improvement. by anonym
Since the new update I have to constantly hit retry to connect to the store, it's pretty frustrating. When I used to buy comics I could download from recently purchased items and now it's a scavenger hunt; in fact even downloading comics has become a chore. I have had recent comics that I have had to restart a download 3 or 4 times. Another thing is the lack of sd support, I'd like to hear a good reason as to why it's not part of the app. 3/5
Positive review Great program in need of one major feature by anonym
Great program, I don't care for the new view. Same as others have posted, needs to have an option to downloadsave to EXTERNAL SD card. Without that option, the program is limited. HD comics are great but need more room, save to SD card would solve this problem. Easy fix, other programs can do it. Make it so! 4/5
Positive review by anonym
Does what it says on the tin, but important improvements needed abound. The smart lists are clever, but awfully slow. There's no easy way to bulk delete, or to have the application intelligently delete the older comics when you hit your defined storage limit. The "star" ratings aren't used or displayed anywhere in the app (would love to see my favorite comics of last month, or last year). That said, it's a usable way to read digital comics, which has saved me a lot of space over the last year. 4/5
Positive review Not quite perfect, but close by anonym
Great app for reading your comics with a pretty impressive catalogue to choose from. Guided-view makes reading on your phone and tablet feel very natural. To my mind, I can't remember the last time I found reading comics this accessible or affordable. Overall I love this app. There are a few minor issues I'd express though: the latest update makes browsing your purchases much less clear, guided-view sometimes displays panels in the wrong order and you can't download your comics to your SD card 4/5
Positive review Great app but limited storage space. by anonym
I love this app and the vast selection of comicbooks. They're easy to find and have a fast and well structured layout. The support staff are brilliantly quick at responding to queries too. However, I am frustrated that, as my comics collection grows, I can only save to a tiny internal storage. This would get five stars if we were able to transfer the app/comics to an SD Card. After all, my collection is only gonna grow and needs more space. Pleeeease fix this, Comixology. 4/5
Negative review Terrible Update by anonym
You now what they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The old app wasn't perfect but it worked great, I could read and buy comics easily. When I first updated this app I noticed a huge problem - I couldn't actually read any of my comics, I was greeted by a black screen. I eventually fixed this by removing the app and reinstalling, except this meant that I had to download all of my comics. There is no download all feature in this app, you can download by month at most, so if you've been on Comixology for a while this is a huge time waster and if you have hundreds of comics like I do, this will take hours. Since then I've noticed a few other problems - when you buy comics you have to spend a while faffing about with Smart Lists to even find then - if the app has even realised you have anything new, which can take up to half an hour. Another bug which is started to get on my nerves is that when I leave a comic and come back to it, it will load a previously read comic instead. Overall, its an app you have to be willing to work with, rather than it being enjoyable to use. 2/5
Negative review Malfunction? by anonym
After the newest update, I could no longer read any of my previously downloaded comics, I couldn't download any new purchases, and I'm overwhelmed at the moment by the abundance of new features. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to function. Apparently if my device is asleep, it pauses the download. Frustrating. It's difficult to navigate the smart lists page, I can never find my recent purchases unless they were on my wishlist first. 2/5
Negative review Changed a Good Thing for Bad by anonym
Terrible update. Can't find newly purchased books. Takes a long time to show up in. "Recently Purchased". The process of purchasing a book used to be a simple one-click affair. Now you have to go on a wild snipe hunt to find your new purchases. The worst part is that this process becomes harder the more books you own, effectively punishing loyal buyers over new ones. 1/5
Positive review Excellent but... by anonym
Overall, excellent app. I have over 100 comics in my library and use it often. But... Downloads can be really flaky. Not great at recommencing a download where you left off. If there in a download issue, it will cancel and start again from scratch. Also app can be a little flaky sometimes too. Finally, finding numerous volumes in a series can take a few actions. Should be easier to find other volumes when you are in a volume and/or if you have it in your library. 4/5
Neutral review by anonym
I love having digital comics on my tablet, but not being able to utilize my external SD card storage is killing me. I have limited space on my tablet and restricting myself to a gig's worth of comics means 1 HD trade, and that's it. Utterly useless for times when I'm not on wifi and can't delete and download something else to read. BRING BACK EXTERNAL SDCARD STORAGE. 3/5
Positive review A comic lover's dream! by anonym
Outstanding layout and design, and the personal help is dizzyingly quick and resourceful!! The recent improvements to the app are startlingly good. 5/5
Negative review Give one star because nothing less than it by anonym
If u doesn't have a fast network connection then if u try hard also then also u can't download a bit of comic . 1/5
Positive review Almost perfect but library is slow. by anonym
The new library list is far too annoying. I like to have comics on the device in series order and recently purchased in date order. This now means I have to tap and change 3 different settings and wait about 5 seconds between each change for the app to catch up. Also the library is very slow to update. 4/5
Positive review Big catalog, plenty of DRM-Free comics and GuidedView makes reading a pleasure! by anonym
For comic fans, this is the ultimate application, because comiXology is easy-to-use, has GuidedView for comfortable reading and even offers comics without DRM (digital rights management - copyright protection) from a large number of publishers. I used to purchase digital comics from Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics, but since I found out that comiXology is offering DRM-free comics, I stick to the publishers offering such content via comiXology... 5/5
Neutral review Harder to use after update by anonym
The smart lists update had made things overly complicated. You used to be able to tell from the My Books screen which series had unread issues in them. Now it is slower to find unread and recently purchased books. . . . . Also sorely needs sd card capabilities. I have 12 gb of space on my sd card, but I can only keep a handful of books at a time on my phone because of low internal storage. 3/5
