Leave a Review Comic Life
Good start but UI needs HELP
Not intuitive at all, hard to find simple most used features that are buried deep in the info window (of all places).
Things like borders, rotate are too buried. I don't want to read the manual, I've used the program on the Mac which is a pleasure.
You should have asked me first!Culmac
Love it!
I downloaded the app after the glitches were fixed. Works great. I'm going to have lots of fun with this!Superbabaya
Way better than PowerPoint
One of the most brain-dead corporate and government rituals is the multi-media briefing, which usually means: PowerPoint slides. You can make the ritual less painful by using Keynote, but it is still fairly predictable, and a cure for insomnia.
But Comic Life can revolutionize this experience. Mix in some random, often incomprehensible photos, add in some thought balloons and speaking balloons, an occasional "Zap!" or "Pow!" or "Ka-ching!" and you can turn a briefing on reimbursable expenses into something exciting.
The iPad version doesn't offer the wealth of output formats as the desktop version (you can't make a high-resolution TIFF or a multi-page PDF), but you can quickly create a flowchart that will wow your database administrator, or a five step plan for upgrading your phone system, or illustrate how to use the new photocopy machine.
And if you have no interest in doing anything practical, you can simply take photos off your iPad, turn them into funky comics, and E-mail them to unsuspecting relative, friends and coworkers.
I did run into a few problems with the program quitting unexpectedly, but didn't lose anything. I expect Plasq to make their usual incremental improvements.Show lesslcharters
Great, but ...
I give this a five for how full featured and smoothly it works. I've used Comic Life on the Mac for years. But, it crashes and crashes on the iPad. Have lost way too much work already. So, given that I've spent my money and love the product, guess I'll give it a three now for it's promise, once it calms down. And I'll wait for the next update.Show lessrowanjames
Crash
Same for me, tired it and got instant crash. How do I get my money back?Hobocat
Needs Work
Just bought this app and it continues to crash. Needs work. VERY surprised Plasq would put this app out before its ready. Who ever runs Plasq needs to have a SERIOUS look at who ran this project. Comic Life for Mac is fantastic, odd that this is such a failure out of the gate.NedRob
Fantastic fun tool
At last this fun and useful App for creating stories and photo narratives. Quickly assemble a collage of photos and context to record special moments and commentary for your photos.
......well done !

Hardware / Software Error
Crashes on iPad2.
When I first opened the app, I went to create a new comic. Once I clicked the new comic to create/edit, the app crashes.Justin NW
This is The Greatest
Thank you so much. I am an editorial cartoonist and have been using your Mac version for years. Now with Comic Life and Sketchbook Pro for the ipad I can do my work on the road and have it look professional enough to publish. Many many thanks, you did a terrific job on this.Cartoonguy
