### 4/5 — I have no idea what went wrong

*2024-09-28*

But this app just doesn’t work anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it won’t even let me import my saved backup. Every attempt to search says Search Error: Request failed: internal server error (500).

### 3/5 — Hard to use

*2024-08-22*

Can’t figure out how to read them

**Developer response:** Hello, and thanks for your feedback. As explained in the description, this app is for tracking releases and managing your library, *not* for reading comic books. I hope that clarifies the situation.

### 4/5 — it’s unclear

*2024-04-24*

me read my books that I want maybe it’s just me

### 4/5 — Love the app but..

*2023-11-08*

I love keeping track of comic book readings on this app the only thing I would be worried about is my phone restarting and all my progress is deleted on the app. Can y’all add a account or something so my progress won’t be lost?!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! If your device is signed in with iCloud, the app will automatically back up and sync your comic book data too.

### 3/5 — Its good

*2023-01-25*

Seems like a good app im just dumb and idk where to find a button i can press to read a book

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. As you can see in the description, this app is for keeping track of new releases. You can then read your comic books however you like (physical or digital).

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-06-23*

I can’t open the books!

### 4/5 — App Icon Badge   Doesn’t Work

*2022-04-16, version 2.3.1*

App Icon Badge # Doesn’t Work

### 4/5 — Good, but

*2021-08-24, version 2.2.1*

So I’ve been using this for a couple months, and it’s pretty goof, but it seems like it doesn’t update the comics frequently enough. Also, when the next issue in the series comes out would be a nice touch. Overall it’s good, but it didn’t really update on time for Flash, Detective Comics, Moon Knight, Superman: Son of Kal-El, and a few others.

### 3/5 — Checklist

*2021-05-03*

So I’ve been reading the current Flash series and there’s like 108 issues right now. I have to click each individual issue to say “read”. 

Why can I not go to the most recent one I read and click “I read the other 100 too.” ?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! You can go to the volume screen, tap the More button (“…”), and select “Mark All as Read”, if that helps.

### 3/5 — Almost Perfect

*2020-11-14, version 2.1*

The one thing that is missing is some form of syncing between devices, it offers an iPad iPhone and Mac app, but none of those seem to sync with each other, which would for me kinda ruin the point of a reading list if all of my lists are different between devices. But otherwise it’s great as a way to keep track of floppy comics

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! If your devices are connected to the same Apple ID, the app should sync automatically via iCloud. No extra configuration required.

### 4/5 — Goodreads: (But an App (for Comics))

*2020-09-19, version 2.0*

I'm not sure the description is misleading but what the app actually does is download data from comicsvine's open api's and creates you a comic collecting software, which isn't easy to find on the Mac, especially not for free. I'm not sure how scalable it is but it's a great idea... for me anyway

### 4/5 — User friendly

*2020-02-26, version 1.12.4*

The app is absolutely user friendly. I love the fact that you can add all issues of a run to your library with one click. And the pull list it builds is accurate and essential. The only improvements I can request are variant cover thumbnails (even if just going forward) and comics that are owned but not yet read. I am always behind in my reading but want to make sure I have an accurate list of old comics where I own part of the run but haven’t been able to read yet. Otherwise, love the app. It fulfills a very unique need that few other apps address.

### 1/5 — Comic not loading

*2024-06-03*

No support and i can t open the books, i will change my review if something changes

**Developer response:** Hello, and thanks for your feedback. As explained in the description, this app is for tracking releases and managing your library, *not* for reading comic books. I hope that clarifies the situation.

### 1/5 — No offence but it’s rubbish

*2024-04-06*

All you do is list books that you want to read instead of actually reading them!!!!👎👎😡

### 1/5 — ?

*2022-07-09, version 2.3.2*

How do you read the comics

### 1/5 — It’s not loading :/

*2022-04-24, version 2.3.1*

I tried but it is not working I have perfect Wi-Fi and perfect url but it’s not working.

### 1/5 — Pretentive

*2020-11-01*

You can't read comics or manga with this app. It's essentially a glorified booklist. Use MaL

### 1/5 — I looks like a Good App But its not

*2020-09-17, version 2.0*

I downloaded this app with the hope of reading comic books on my computer. When I clicked on one to start reading it nothing happened. It won't give you an opion to read it. I am very disappointed in this app.

### 1/5 — I don’t even know

*2020-04-21, version 1.12.4*

I can’t find a way to read the books I selected it just shows my collection of books I have but when I click the book I want to read it just says Credits ,skip this book and characters and share.

**Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for your feedback! The main purpose of this app is to track new comic book releases. You can then read them however you want (comic book store, online service, library, etc). Please check out the app description for more context.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-15, version 1.12.3*

Waste of time

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2019-05-29, version 1.11.7*

Can’t even access the titles you’ve selected. All it has is a search engine and nothing else. Wasted download!

### 2/5 — where's the library?

*2016-05-12, version 1.9.2*

i can't access my library at all. i really want to use this app, but it simply doesn't work as shown. as soon as i open it, all i can do is "search" and the list of "suggestions" takes up the entire screen and can't close my keyboard. after i search for something and select it to add to my library, all i can do is "check" an issue and "archive" it. whatever that means. and then i'm immediately taken back to the search screen with the same suggestions. at no point am i able to access my library, reading list, or any other advertised feature. please fix this. i need an app like this. well, like the one in the screenshots anyway.

### 5/5 — It is good but I need help

*2024-03-19*

It’s very good the only problem is how can I read the comics because I literally can’t but everything else is good

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. As you can see in the App Store description, this app is for keeping track of new releases. You can then read your comic books however you like (physical or digital).

### 5/5 — 500 stars

*2023-12-27*

I can’t believe this app isn’t more popular, I’ve never seen one like it.  You can add trades, single issues and more!  You can select which issues of a run you have and archive completed runs and it doesn’t lose your data.  This app is very impressive and deserves more attention.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-08-06*

More people should have this fantastic app, being able to download entire collections of comics and check off the ones you have is super easy. When I go to the comic book shop, I can just open this app and look at the ones I’m missing.

### 5/5 — Got books but nothing

*2023-06-20*

It has the books I was looking for but you can’t read them 5 star so you can see this

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-31*

More people should have this fantastic app, being able to download entire collections of comics and check off the ones you have is super easy. When I go to the comic book shop, I can just open this app and look at the ones I’m missing.

### 5/5 — Best comic app

*2022-07-18*

100% the best comic book app I’ve found, keeps all the comics I’ve read in a library and all the comics I need to read to catch up or just want to read per-say, in a different place and all I have to do is push a button to jump them over to my read library once read… has all the comics you can think of, indie or mainstream really… can’t recommend enough!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-09-24*

This app is very helpful for keeping track of all your reading of comics. It also gives you info about when the comic was first made and when you read it! Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2021-08-20, version 2.2.1*

Not sure why this app isn’t more popular, but it is perfect for what I needed. A simple app that shows what comics I’m reading and what issue I’m on, and let’s me know when a new issue releases. It seems other apps are for hardcore collectors, but I just needed something to keep track of all the different comics I’m reading. The plot and character summaries are great added benefits.

### 5/5 — Used to be good.

*2020-02-14, version 1.12.4*

The app used to work great, now when ever I try to add new comics I get the error code “Request Failed: client error (420). If this was resolved the app would have a 5 star review.

UPDATE: Issue has resolved itself must have been a connectivity issue on my side, overall a great app and highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Must have for Comic Book Readers!

*2020-01-28, version 1.12.3*

If you have a pull list of any size then you know just how quickly you can find yourself forgetting if you’ve read a certain issue, well not anymore! 

This app is fantastic. 

The only downside is that it uses Comicvine.com as a host and some weeks they don’t always have everything uploaded on time.
