A very good app with 100 years worth of comics
I just started my 3rd year with an Ultra subscription. Most of the problems I have had with the app on an older iPad can be fixed by making sure there is lots of storage space and turning off caching in the app.
As for the dreaded Alfred, I found a lot of the missing comics can be found in the omnibus or the volumes. I download the omnibus before reading and then delete it after I have read it, (Thank you for the new delete button). This stopped the app from kicking me out while reading. No problem when reading comics under 30 pages. A very good app with a big library

A very good app with a big library to read. Check out the older stuff. It’s fun how to see how times have changed and haven’t changed at all.

OH DEAR! We had some issues loading this page.
Yes that title is an error message I have been seeing too much using this app. You can get issues when you want what is the point time to cancel my subscription.
Fine, if you know what to look for. Also, tablet navigation
First off, taking away landscape navigation is almost certainly to simplify development and save time on layouts, which would be fine if not for the fact that 1) tablets are the definitive way to read ebooks so why would you not develop for them, and 2) you’re charging more now for less functions. The reading experience is great, and the catalog is deep, but they really hate organization here. It’s way too hard to get an idea what storylines go into what, what events tie into what, and there’s absolutely zero methods of organizing things chronologically. You can’t even sort by release date. There’s very little in the way of helpful layouts or reading guides. There’s collections but they’re generic and broad. Do you want to read what’s been going on lately across many books? You’re out of luck. There needs to be a timeline or things need to be grouped by year or something. It’s especially bad when there’s a long running series that hasn’t been broken into volumes and you have the scroll through the whole run to find the point in the run you’re looking for.

An app worth the money!!
THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE BUGS! This is the best comic app to ever come to my country and I’m so pleased you took the time to fix the bugs that it had.
Crashing and disorganized
I was in the middle of reading a comic when it kicked me out and demanded I update the app immediately. Really? What a terrible design idea. Do better.
Better than expected
I have only been using the app for about 15 days now.
Before I purchased it I have to admit I was a bit worried about the reviews regarding Alfred showing up a bunch.
He must be cleaning the bat cave cause so far he did not visit me.
This app made me fall in love with comics again as you can follow up on multiple series so quickly,it also shows you in what order to read them for miniseries in case some others with different titles but related to the main one you are reading came out in between.
So far 10/10

Basics finally working again
As ever, the content is great but the app needs more work than it appears Warners/DC are willing to invest. One of the largest problems at the moment is once again with the “dive back in” functionality. New comics are placed in sometimes random orders so the next issue never appears in the Dive Back In row. Batman 151 placed after no 138, or specials at the end of the list of Superman so the next issue is never triggered. It’s so poor in this regard that I have to think that no one at DC is actually using the app (and raising this to customer service has had no effect).
So again, great content but the app needs both a bit of technical love and at least a smidgen of editorial attention.

I’m trying to give you money!!!
It won’t let me make an account it keeps giving me an error message. How hard is it to make a service that works
App is garbage, content is gold
Rating - one star out of five for the app, five stars for the content.
The app is absolute garbage, a buggy mess with a horrible UI, unresponsive and prone to crashing or glitching out so it needs restarting. I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole, except.. the comics library is superlative. Having access to this any DC comics for a very reasonable subscription price is an offer too good to pass up.
Please, DC, fire your developers and hire some new ones to rebuild the app, though.
