### 2/5 — Not good with large collections

*2025-04-09*

The old app was glitchy and a bit crude. The new one looks nice but doesn’t present large collections well. There is no filing system, the collection is presented on a single page, out of order. Search is unreliable and the filter doesn’t update correctly. I find it really hard to browse through my progs. Please do better.

### 2/5 — Super buggy

*2025-03-30*

I couldn’t read a single page of comic, it jumps pages, reloads constantly and just doesn’t feel like a finished app. Fortunately I only downloaded a free comic.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-01-16*

Started buying the prog digitally several months ago and to say this app is unreliable would be being kind. There’s been several occasions where payment has been taken but the prog is in available to download to my library. 
This weeks again, clicked buy and confirmed payment. Say unable to verify payment yet takes payment and Prog remains at ‘Buy’ and not in library. 
Customer services are always really helpful and it’s sorted eventually, but should not have to contact them so often.

### 1/5 — Godawful app

*2024-12-01, version 5.1.0*

Not worthy of this great comic. Hangs, jumps pages, terrible to navigate, like a bad app pre 2000.

### 1/5 — Recent update

*2024-10-25, version 5.0.9*

Keeping it pure and simple -utter rubbish 🤬

### 1/5 — App is broken altogether.  Latest update makes no difference.

*2024-10-09*

Prog 2400 is the latest issue the app allows me to download despite having an active subscription.  Previously downloaded issues from 2401 onwards  don’t have the ‘Read’ footer when I look at the details page for each Prog, rendering the app useless and my sub worthless.

### 1/5 — Why Bother

*2024-10-05*

An utterly awful update. Always crashing, never saves bookmarks and only partially downloads the Meg. Why bother changing the App with is many issues. Need to urgently look into all the issues and correct them. For those of us with subscriptions Rebellion should be looking at issuing Compensation.

### 1/5 — Seems to be getting slower to the point of being unusable

*2024-09-24*

OK I have a 1st generation iPad Pro, but the app used to be simple but usable.

The last few versions have been getting slower - maybe it will settle down, but as a comic reading app, I’d look elsewhere

### 1/5 — Can we go back to the old app?

*2024-09-23*

The new app just about works ok on my iPhone, but it’s terrible on my iPad. Many pages show up as speech bubbles only and it goes back to page one of the graphic novel that I’m reading quite frequently.

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2024-09-22*

This app update is dreadful, the last version was maybe a 2 star app but this is much worse. Problems I have found:

1. Continually getting signed out of my account (unlike any other apps on the system), this wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t that….

2. You can only access your downloaded content if you are signed in.

3. Zooming in and then scrolling round the screen is awkward and constantly sticks.

4. Flipping between landscape and portrait mode loses the page you are on, usually dumping you at the end of the comic.

Added to which since the new update I’ve found I’ve had to contact support frequently about why I can’t access latest editions that are part of the subscription I have paid for, maybe just a coincidence, who knows.

Does anyone test things any more or do you just leave it to users to find flaws?

### 1/5 — A very disappointing Update

*2024-09-14*

An update this bugged should never have been released. Constantly logged out, unusable in portrait mode, moves the page when moving between portrait and landscape, all the purchases are dumped together rather than in directories, hard to see what’s new to purchase. The galaxies greatest comic deserves better.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2024-09-03*

New update was not great as it caused issues with my already downloaded books so I had to uninstall and reinstall. Navigating my library of content is not good, I thought it worked well when you could see the books in series order. Also the settings to change how you can read the books should have that eye icon replaced with a cog when in a book and those settings should be accessible in the main app settings as well. One more issue is battery and time icons do not disappear and appear over what you are reading. Love the content and your efforts, just needs some qol improvements.

**Developer response:** Hey there, many thanks for the rating and detailed review.
Latest update out today including:

-	Ability to search own library
-	Added ownership/status chips to search results
-	Fixed issue of logging users out when they went to library
-	Added end of list marker to library, with count of owned products
-	Removed status bar when reading
-	Improved sensitivity of scrolling in reader for iOS users

We'll keep updates coming but if you'd like to update us on the updates you'd like to see please update us here:https://support.2000ad.com/hc/en-gb

### 2/5 — Great comics, awful app

*2024-08-28*

My “currently reading” titles just pick up at the very start of the volume, some comics can’t go beyond a certain point because they just go back to the very beginning when I try to go past them…ever since the rebuild, this has been a mess.

**Developer response:** Hey there, thanks for the review and feedback.

### 1/5 — Broken update 2024

*2024-08-27*

Two major things are broken after the recent update (2024)
- image quality is very poor and blurry, even when set to "High"
- Titles I've bought aren't show in my library e.g. I own Hawk the Slayer 1 - 5 but only 1 shows up

I used the app as I wanted to support the creators, and hope I can again once these issues are fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello, many thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback.
We've had an update since and hopefully you've seen an improvement to your image quality?

### 1/5 — Terrible Update!

*2024-08-24*

I can’t find past purchases without having to do a search, even then it does not find everything I’ve purchased in the past. Then even when you find what you own and download it, it does not show in your downloaded area. So frustrating trying to find what you want to read. It’s not even easy to browse for inspiration to buy a new read as the more titles area doesn’t even show the full content available! I was going to buy a new graphic novel to read today. Gave up as I couldn’t find what I wanted. Then decided to find an old read instead, couldn’t find what I had in mind to read as well! Even when you do a search, for example Dan Dare, the search does not find any of the Dan Dare Graphic novels. Search for Insurrection and it only shows you Insurrection Liberty, book 2, not book 1. I own both but can’t find both. Search for Kingdom, only shows a couple of the graphic novels, search for the Last American, couldn’t find it at all, search for Xtnct! No chance!! I could go on and on here, absolutely rubbish update, why oh why have rebellion done this!

### 1/5 — Where’s my stuff?

*2024-08-20, version 5.0.5*

Great to see an update but all but previous comics are gone and the carousel scales all over other elements. Needs more work and I’m not putting money into this until my previous comics come back.

### 1/5 — Comic good...

*2024-08-17, version 5.0.5*

app so bad suspect a joke... quite possibly the worst have ever come across

### 1/5 — v5.0.5 made things worse

*2024-08-16*

A browse/library interface that limits how you can filter, removes sorting by time (or any method at all), truncated descriptions, and reading the comics is painfully slow with occasional jumping of pages. Previous versions did not have this issue.  I may be pulling the PDFs for a better user experience.

### 2/5 — 2 steps forward, 1 step back

*2024-08-15*

This is regarding the Aug 24 update; here’s improvements, but still a long way to go. Only half of my library shows up when browsing, have to physically search for the rest. You have to log in EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN THE APP. And as a result of the constant logging in it doesn’t save where you have been reading.
It’s an improvement over the last, I can read more than twenty pages without he reader crashing, but there’s still way too many user bugs to recommend this

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App is buggy trash

*2026-04-12*

Comics don’t unpack and load properly. Pages eventually load randomly after many minutes. Can’t read anything I’ve paid for. Store pages take an age to load. Payments are laggy. Just awful. I’ve read toothy since issue one but since moving to Australia I’ve given up. They can’t post reliably and now digital is hopeless. Sad.

### 1/5 — Con

*2025-11-07*

Back issues not free says they are but only a handful are, total con

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-02*

** This is a review of the app, not the 2000ad or Judge Dredd comics. **
Rebellion should be ashamed of this app, it’s not worthy of a title as great as 2000ad.
The app is slow and often non-responsive and will not give you access to your purchases. Takes forever to log in and crashes all the time.
Rebellion get your act together and take notice of these reviews.

### 1/5 — Just keeps going downhill.

*2025-09-19*

The updated app looked great but it constantly crashes now, it’s all very well letting you download your purchases but you need to go to the website and that isn’t the most user friendly site either, an option to download from the app would be a better solution, well, it it stays open long enough.

### 1/5 — Loading issues

*2025-09-10*

Nothing ever loads this app needs works big time

### 1/5 — A joke

*2025-08-20*

“Unlimited comics” yet you still gotta buy em even with the subscription. No thanks I’ll just buy physical. Thanks for the scam tho.

### 1/5 — Great comic, utterly broken app

*2025-07-17*

This is a review of the iOS app, not the comic (which is great). The app used to be good or at least functional, but with a recent redesign and update it is flakey as hell. New items aren’t listed for sale. Items bought are missing from library. Buggy graphics display. Many strange design decisions that have ruined ease of use. Worst of it, Rebellion have known for ages and there still isn’t an update with fixes. Very very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Just Bad …

*2025-04-15*

The app is bad, I mean really bad: a comic reading app that is very poor to actually read comics … that’s when you can log in of course … error 500 likes this app way more than I do!

### 1/5 — One star very generous

*2025-01-12*

This app is appallling . Each update makes it worse. Finding old purchases is impossible. And now some purchases freeze the app.

### 1/5 — Awful navigation experience

*2024-12-14*

I have had a subscription for several years so I have quite a few progs in my library. Trying to navigate to the next issue I want to read is impossible. When progs are displayed in the library, the actual prog number isn’t shown in the title making the title useless for navigating through your library. There doesn’t seem to be a way to search for unread material. When I search  for downloaded issues, I can’t then sort on date.

My subscription is about to expire and I won’t renew. My library has effectively become unreadable following the update.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-04-19, version 5.1.3*

Great app.

### 5/5 — Amazing Childhood Memories Relived.

*2023-03-04, version 4.8.8*

Was worried at all the 2yr old poor reviews, but app must have had updates as I found no issues with my iPad.
I remember reading Dredd Block/Apocalypse Wars as an 11/12 year old, amazed at all the full colour spreads in each issue, studying each picture intimately - repeating the words over and over in the voices I gave each character.
Almost didn’t download the Apocalypse Wars graphic novel ( took a while to find it, though ) as I didn’t wanna spoil my childhood memories, but OMG so glad I did.
All the covers, all the spreads, full colour, 200+ amazing pages, no messing around, the whole thing, nothing missing, it’s all there, so many memories relived after 40 years.
I’m no expert but kinda wonder at how these images have been scanned so perfectly, seems HD me, zoom in, zoom out all perfect.
Next on my list is Judge Death, Flesh, Rogue Trooper and more.
Thank you for this excellent app, so very cool.

### 5/5 — Not showing your active subscription? Try this

*2022-07-30, version 4.8.8*

I was locked out of the weekly comic. Logging out and back in again didn’t solve it. But I think I’ve found a fix. I force quit the 2000 AD app, went into Settings and changed my subscription to a different length. (If I was on 3 monthly I changed it to monthly.) 

Then I restarted the app and it recognised my weekly subscription 

I’ve been reading 2000 AD all my life and I will read it for the rest of my life. This bug, although bad, will not stop me reading

### 5/5 — Green screen!!

*2020-12-17, version 4.8.8*

Another update but still with the screen going Tharg green! Please fix this issue. Good content when it can be read.

### 5/5 — App didn't work before but does now

*2020-11-18, version 4.8.7*

I subscribe to both the weekly and the monthly.
After months of problems with the reader app I can happily confirm that the recent update has fixed all issues

### 5/5 — Perfect complement to the comic

*2020-09-04*

The app keeps getting better and better. This is the easiest way to keep up to date with your 2000AD subscription. They listen to their customers and always have some kind of deal going on. From their huge digital back issue collection to their graphic novels at very cheap prices. Great way to keep yourself entertained each week with so much fantastic content. Been reading for 35 years now and hope it continues far into the future.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-06-25*

Best comic app.

### 5/5 — Great content but crashes occasionally

*2017-06-13*

Title says it all

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-06-07*

Love it, easy to use, great comics!!!

### 5/5 — BestComic Reader

*2017-06-04*

I've enjoyed Comixology's app for years and the guided view is good. But I still prefer being able to rapdily pan in and out, which 2000ad seems to facilitate effortlessly. My only criticism is that I still do not understand the difference between the two 2000ad apps?!
