I’m enjoying this app a great deal, primarily due to how easy it is to find indie comics and high quality stuff. While I love that the way that pages are layed out is annoying to browse. Instead of a standard format of simple scrolling/swiping to go between pages and then using a button to go to a different issue of the comic you scroll through about half a page to a full page of a comic then press a button to go to the next one. This makes the whole experience somewhat annoying from a user standpoint, and to my knowledge pages are what’s uploaded by the author as opposed to the more standard formats of chapters/whole issues. I can see why the system is the way it is, but I would prefer if button presses transferred between full issues and you just scrolled/swiped between pages inside a given issue.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for the review, we're delighted to hear you're enjoying the app! Could you please reach out to contact@globalcomix.com so we can discuss the issue you're experiencing?Download, signed up for subscription, and waiting for a refund a few days layer.
These are improvements that need to be made…
Sorting by series and timeline is horrible. There needs to be an option to follow a series, not just a publisher. It needs to be easier to filter what you are looking for.
Adjust the viewer to accommodate iphone notch
Allow users to hide things from the main screen that you are not interested in. It is great that there is selection, but not all the selection is great. If there is a series that I don’t want to see, allow an option to mute or hide. Example, when setting up my account, i wanted robots, zombies and sci-fi. It suggested that and a long list of mature content i am not interested in. Cant mark it no, cant make it go away, AND I CANT SHOW THE APP TO MY KIDS BECAUSE OF IT.
If the developer wants to respond, great. Love to have a conversation.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for the thorough feedback. Add to Library is the function to follow only a series and not the publisher/creator as a whole. This will allow you to receive notifications just for updates to that series.
Please reach out to contact@globalcomix.com so we can discuss. We'd like to learn more about your thoughts on the shift from onboarding to the home stream to improve that experience, as well as suggestions you have for filter options.The discoverability feels a bit chaotic, at least on mobile. I like that it tries to suggest comics based on what you like, but the Home Screen ends up being overloaded with lists of genres, at least on mobile.
The search function could be improved by allowing to search for multiple genres, as well as adding more specific search fields. The app does a good job of this, but it’s important for a comic aggregator to get this optimized.
Secondly, reading the comics themselves doesn’t feel very smooth. I like to tap-and-drag while viewing the whole comic page, but it pretty cramped and slightly unresponsive. Panel-by-panel is slightly better, but both of these options feel better on the Hoopla app.
With that being said, the variety of comics, monthly sub, app aesthetics and layout, and a majority of the app functionality are good or above average.

Thank you for the review, Tete! We're happy to hear that you've been enjoying Invincible. Don't forget to leave reactions and comments if you enjoy what you've read - it helps the creators and publishers rise in the discovery rankings, plus they love seeing feedback!While I was resting in my humble abode and suddenly I was upmost interrupted by this foul application promoting 18+ material as such I am in fact a minor so that is subjecting me to such profane content that I will not tolerate. Please consider termination of your peers immediately. I will lend another star because I pity your useless existence. P.S add more hentai
Great selection. Only downside is that there isn’t a clear path to skip ahead in the omnibus’s.
Developer Response
Hey there - could you explain further what you mean by skipping ahead in an omnibus?
- ChrisThis app is very cool. I can read whatever comics I want.

Don't hesitate to email contact@globalcomix.com if you ever have questions, feedback, or need help!Getting used to the tap feature as opposed to swiping but I find myself jumping to the next panel . Haven’t really explored the apps features or title library just jumped right in to Brzrker.

Thank you so much for the review! We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the app, we're fans of BRZRKR as well. Please don't hesitate to email contact@globalcomix.com if you ever have questions, feedback, or need help!Best subscription comic app since the Shonen Jump/ Viz manga. Easy to use no lag and $9 a month is easy to justify when most of the stuff I’m reading on there is either out of print or $11 for a single trade paperback to begin with.
