  • Some UI bugs

    There are some UI bugs such as picture handlebars/moving points do not align with the picture sometimes when the screen has been zoomed in or out.

    Needs more than the two or three choices of document size. Should be able to create any document size.
  • Nice app, but not able to work with desktop version.

    Fun and useful app. We're using it to make promotional posters. But you cannot export to Comic Life 2 on the Mac, which for us makes it greatly less useful.

    Revised: This is an amazing app. Very deep in features, great UI, actually useful, unlike some other comic apps. This power in this app on my iPad 1 is equal to high end graphic desktop apps a few years ago. This is a pro app and a bargain.

  • Beautiful and easy to use!

    An easy touch based version and I got it for only $4.49 too
    Thanks to the devs for making this available for iPad :)
  • Fantastic app for making comics!

    There are a lot of apps out there for making comics, and I have many of them. Comic Life for iPad kind of sets the bar for ease of use and intuitive interface. You can do a LOT with this app, but it's never very hard to figure out how.

    This update added high-resolution JPG and PDF output (via email), which is fantastic if you ever want to take your comics from the iPad into the "real" world of printed books. The word bubbles, panel frames, and internally-generated text is super crisp in the high-resolution output, though the images to tend to soften a bit. Still, it's good enough resolutions print at standard comic sizes.

    A great update for a great app. Highly recommended!

  • fantastic fun, i use it all the time

    I think this is as great.. maybe better than the desktop version. When I only owned the desktop version I made maybe one comic every 2 months or a poster or something. Now I make a couple a week. I make comics of events for the non-profit board I belong to. Everyone loves it! I love how easy it is and fun!

    You want to put a photo in a box. tap on the box.. wham select your photo.. it's that easy.

  • It's ok

    Nice in itself, but I wanted to open a comic life made on a computer on this using email, and it opens up on safari and says safari cannot open. I know Safari can't open, I bought it hoping I could work on my homework on the go, but instead I can't use it for anything useful really.

    Now I am stuck with an app I don't need and seven dollars out of my wallet.

    Really think about it before buying

  • Work in progress

    A pretty useful app - worth the price. But I found the UI not particularly intuitive. Also seemed to slow down severely by the time a had 5 photos and a dozen or so other elements on a page.
  • Disappointing...

    This app doesn't deserve the same name as the desktop version. Crashes are least of it's shortcomings. Poorly designed templates. Way overpriced. Without crashes, and with some templates from it's big brother, then and only then would it be worth a couple bucks.

    So, ignore their comparison to Comic Life. That is NOT what this app is. Look at the sample images, and know those show it as good as it gets. In other words, don't be fooled by the good reviews.

  • Not ready for primetime

    I've used Comic Life on my mac and had hoped that the Comic Life iPad app would work similarly.
    Unfortunately, no. I spent a couple of minutes familiarizing myself with the iPad controls and looked over the helpful tutorial that came with the app, before attempting to try my hand at creating my own comic.
    As soon as I tried to interact with anything on the blank canvas, the app crashed. Unfortunately, it wasn't a one-off issue; this happened each and every time I tried to use the app.
    After several tries, I gave up and contacted support.
    This review may be updated after support contacts me.

  • Disappointed

    I have comic life on mac, and this is a very basic version of it. No way of saving as PDF.. Definitely needs an up grade.
    You also can't manipulate text in the same way as Mac version. Smtp as the only way of sending the doc once created, is proving impossible to send doc on different servers.. NEEDS PDF
