Leave a Review DC UNIVERSE INFINITE
Tons of content, buggy barebones app
Lots of comics and videos to consume, but the one size fits all app design isn’t great. On Apple TV the app updates slowly, hides new content, and persists in showing comics... I don’t want to read comics on the tv lol. On iPad Pro the app runs ok to poorly. Recently trying to delete downloads locks up the app, trying to access “My DC” locks up the app... so I can’t access the comics I’ve added to my favorites lists. Deleting the app and reinstalling is the only way to fix this issue. Searching through the massive library isn’t a great experience - no shortcuts by first letter/index, and when selecting a title then immediately going back to the library it returns to “A” even if I was in the “Z”s. I understood the bugginess and barebones app when this first launched, but at this point the bugs and the design issues are trying my patience. This app is very poorly optimized for iOS/iPad OS. Be sure to go to settings in the app and check “do not sell my data” since that’s not checked by default...Show lessSoperrepoS
Small complaints. Major compliments.
I love access to comic storylines that allow a silver age guy like myself to catch up on the storylines that have developed since I gave up comics 30 years ago.
The new shows are great and it’s equally great to see the old shows out from obscurity.
The comic reading app is just the best though I wish it were more reliable so I didn’t have to reset the app on Xbox every other comic.
I hope you’re planning to put everything on this app, there’s a lot of golden and silver age stuff no one gets to see and while I’m sure it’s not all great it represents a portion of history that is fading further as time goes on. There’s a benefit to corporate in keeping the antique on display for youth, encouraging kind feelings toward the past and growing nostalgia into mature understanding builds tolerance for variety so maybe you don’t need universe ending crises every few years.Show lessJfarnold
Love it, but...
I love this! My favorite things to watch is the new Harley Quinn (which I’m so excited for) and also Batman: the animated series! The only thing I’m confused about, is why they don’t include the live action movies (batman, Superman, etc...) after all, this is a DC Universe subscription, so it should have everything in the DC Universe right?!?! I don’t know, I just thought it doesn’t make sense to have a program of something but it’s missing everything that makes it popular.
On the other hand, I’m so excited to have the animated series because I didn’t know where else I could watch it, and when I saw the trailer for Harley Quinn I was instantly super excited because I love comedy animation stuff (especially with Harley Quinn) and I always thought she was such a comedic super villain and she deserved a show like that.Show lessdhdbwndh
The best app ever
I never really took the time to put my effort into apps such as this. This wonderful app just keeps me coming back. I really do love this app. DC will always be the best comic Industry in the world. I do wish they had more comics such as the newer underrated comics, but aside from that this is the best app ever. The quality of the shows such as the titans is so great. I feel like I’m watching a cinematic movie, but in reality it’s a tv show. I am 100% basis and I have no problem with that because I feel like this app really gives the full DC experience. From comic books to encyclopedias of a hero to shows such as SwapThing, Titans, Doom Patrol etc... I really do think this is worth the $8.99 and then some. If you are reading this do invest your time and money in this because this is 110% worth the experienceShow lessmrstussyman
Bottom line: NOTHING like it (as of yet!).
The service is great cause it has a huge stock of comics I forgotten or only wish I had a chance to read. Well, it’s here (for the most part). And with the live action shows playing out the very characters I’ve known to love only on print, now gives a third dynamic to enjoying DC Comics sagas (ie graphic novels, animation, and now live action shows!). Here’s the thing, after watching a show you’d wonder how the characters pan out in the pages, if the director/writers got it right or took a different approach to telling the lives of these characters. Or, if you were like me, I’ve read the comics that highlighted these characters and just enjoy the directions they’re taking on the many heroes. It’s like having access to the multiverse at your fingertips! Kudos DC!Show lessJuju from Chicago
Great Content. Terrible App Mechanics. Terrible Customer Service.
So last month I wasn’t able to pay off my subscription until a week after the due date. Apple charged me, the money went out of my account right into DC Universe’s and I still can’t play my shows. Every time I try to play a show, it will give me the options for the subscriptions. Knowing that I had already paid I pressed skip these options until I realized that the subscription options won’t go away. To try to entertain what was happening in front of me, I tapped on the 7.99 subscription plan (which I already had) and after I did, it told me I already have the subscription! So what gives? Why can’t I watch the content that I paid for? Why isn’t there a call line that can help loyal paying customers figure out what’s going on more directly? For months since using the app for streaming it’s shows, it’s always been a choppy app. Always slow, glitching, or lagging behind. It’s becoming quite frustrating to keep up with. I just need help so I could watch Titans, but with a lack of a call line, I might not get. Be weary when getting this app. There are definitely positives content wise, but the mechanics of this app makes you wanna throw your phone across the room sometimes lol.Show lessNEVA FEEAAR DEEM!!!
Worth it but...
This app is off to an amazing start. This is the first streaming service I paid with my own money( That means a lot). They have all the old animated DC shows like Batman Beyond, static, etc. It’s gonna take a while to finish because they just keep add more. The live actions are amazing too(Bravo!)! They just need to add small stuff with the streaming. Like Video casting maybe, I just wanna switch between phone and tv easier. Switching between episodes is a hassle. How am I supposed to binge, I need that next Episode button. I’m not saying copy other apps like Netflix but make it easy. I love this app very much though. And please try to get The CW Arrowverse shows on here and live action movies like Suicide squad and all that good stuff. I use this more than any app on my phone. Keep up the good work can’t wait to see what u guys do. And buffering Symbol glitches sometimes.Show lessRhinoRush69
Not Renewing
Love it, but their lack of platform support makes it worthless to me. It’s too bad but my guess in an attempt to subvert piracy they don’t allow their content to be streamed online and in a foolish move they’ve chosen to only make apps for phones, tablets and a few TVs but unless you have the top of the line tv you’re forced to watch on a phone or tablet. Now maybe it’s age but I don’t like watching on my on a smaller screen. Make an app for Mac or allow online viewing and I’ll happily pay for your service cause I love the content but without a way to watch where I can see what I’m paying for it feels like a waste of money. Sure some people pirate because they don’t want to pay and want everything for free but sometimes it’s done for reasons that could be avoided if companies could see beyond their own fear that their profit won’t be as big as they want it to be.Show lessMattstar69
Good package, but they expect you to pay more for things you’d expect to have
The app works pretty well, I’ve had it crash a couple times but not a huge deal. My problem is that there are shows here that don’t include the entire run time. For example, this app only has two seasons of the four Batman Animated series seasons. So, does that mean I’m expected to finish these two seasons here, and then go pay for the other seasons elsewhere? Sure, maybe you’ll make a couple more bucks that way, but you’ll lose my trust as a (for now) subscriber. No one wants to feel cheated. If you own the show, why wouldn’t you just put up the whole series so that people keep faith in your integrity? Or is that it, is there no integrity? What if the fifth season of Titans comes out, but then they suddenly decide not to put it on the app? Am I going to have to pay for the fifth season on Blu-Ray? I know this isn’t likely but my point is, if you have people paying for your service, you should give them 100% of the shows you have listed, especially if they’re twenty years old. Sure I’ll subscribe for now, but this poor business model will certainly have me cancel after some time. I wouldn’t mind the monthly charge if I felt like I was really being taken care of. I’m sure Disney+ wouldn’t do this, but hey I guess Warner Brothers will have to learn the hard wayShow lessFrank thank

TL;DR the filter function needs to be overhauled, a favorites section needs to be added, the recently read section needs to be more robust and include storylines, and there needs to be more thoughtfulness behind how many hoops the user has to jump through to interact with the content
I love everything about the quality of the content within the app, but I think there are some interface issues that are not given enough care or attention. The filter in the comics section, how it is interacted with, and the how we open comics in general is just flat out atrocious. I literally groan when it comes to searching for specific content in storylines or by eras because the filter options seem to reset every time I so much as look at anything else. No option exist for jumping back into specific storylines, so if I want to go back to reading a main series and all the tie-ins, not only can I not do that from the recently read section, but I have to go back and use the (again, atrocious) comic filter to jump back into what I was reading. An option should exist to favorite specific eras, storylines, heroes, etc. to allow readers to jump back into content.Show lessstairwaywit
