Leave a Review Comic Life
Good, but frustrating at times
The good: a lot of template options, lettering, etc. The overall experience is much more fluid than many of the comic apps, except for a few notable points.
Suggested improvements: provide a few more options for page sizes, such as 4x6. Furthermore, since our fingers aren't nearly as precise as a mouse, please incorporate a snap-to grid feature or some way to ensure that we can align certain frames equally.Show lessBeninatx
Always
I had comic life for years on my mac and always loved it.
I don't just use it for comics, but to put photos together like a collage. Now on the iPad this app is still one of my favourites of all times. Always fun to use too!Floreat5
It crashes on us
The app which we just purchased, because we like the pc version, has been crashing on us very often without saving our work. Please fix it. 4 stars for the app without crashing.ge_co
Love it
I love this comic life app so much and it is worth the 5 dollars. Very fun you can make a ton of different comics in different colors and styles very cool I have been using ever since I got it and it hasn't crashed at all and just a ball of fun to do when you are bored!Dragon girl125
Needs work...
The app is good, but there needs to be a way to change font color, and size! You can change the box size, but not the font, kinda hard to read... The app is also a tittle slow. Takes a long time to load, but I guess that's normal for such a big app. It they change the font, I would rate it 5 for sure!!!!Show lessYzyhZjzgbxd
It's just a toy. (updated comment)
(updated at the end)
I'm a cartoonist, I was looking for a tool that let me design a comic book to later be sync with my computer in any format posible. It need rulers and a lot of obvious tools to be able to work on something real here. Then I found another app with more professional aproach: Strip Designer for iPad, it needs work also but it let me design in a professional way and it let me buy fonts for professional use, that means I can buils a comic that later on can be sell online without licensing problems. Devs are trying to aproach kids or youngsters that want to put dialogue balloons over pictures, but out there are professionals looking for options to substitute laptops with iPads or use iPads as a sync devices for later on use.
Dont let Adobe think about that first. Build an app for pros before others upload a nice app to the app store. If you add the option of pdf export and font import it will be more or less a pro comic tool. Even if you dont want to add high resolution export capabilities. Try to make an update and start earning some credibility.
Update comment:
Well... Some folks did a great app for real artists out there that want to create on their iPads.. Go buy STRIP DESIGN if you want to create your next comic or manga on your iPad. If you just want a toy to play with your pics this maybe for you.Show lessA.Kinng
Nice transition of the desktop (but not perfect)
First off, plasq has listened to the reviews and comments and added more export options. This is a great indicator that niggling issues with the software will not go unaddressed. Comic Life is not the kind of app that will sit on the App Store for three years with no updates. This especially good, because some features need more updates. Hence the rating is five stars instead of four.
A finger is not a mouse. Those teeny tine points to grab with the mouse are much harder to grab with your finger. How about big rings instead. Also, selecting the item to grab is difficult when there are many items clustered together. Often I am trying to edit text and instead my finger pressing is stretching the text instead. All-in-all, though, the software is easy to use. I had a comic together in no time. I even use this app to make serious photo mosaics. Don't let the colorful themes fool you. This app is powerful.Show lessDeusFever
Greatness.
This app is great if you love reading comics and Feel like making your own. Just Great!MrDjT
Comic crash bang ping
This started as the best fun I have ever had on the iPad. But the whole thing crashed. I have a corrupted comic that will not reopen for me to work on it. I can not sendit or make a duplicate. It's a shame. Come on apple I want to give this a an amazing five but am struggling to use it. Why did it not go through enough testing? Until they sort out the bugs don't buy.Show lessDovstar
Could easily be a five-star app...
This could easily be a five-star app, but the auto-save is unreliable and the email feature shuts the app down. If I can't convert to PDF and mail, the app is of little use. If PDFs could be opened in iBooks, that would be a good work around. As it is- the app is fun but serves no practical purpose. Will change the rating if an update corrects these errors, or offers a save to iBook option.Show lessMercenary Writer
