Search is broken
I'm searching for a specific title but the results are not showing up at all.
Good Idea, Poor Execution
I love CCL, and have been a member for years now. Even so, this app is a substantial pain due to its excessive crashes. Better off logging onto the website or using the full-program.
Good in theory, but major issues
Having used the Comic Collector Live website to track my comics wish list, I was excited to discover they had an app, which I hoped would make adding issues on-the-fly a bit easier. And it does—the interface is greatly streamlined, making it much easier to skim through a series and select those issues you need. But, there are a few major issues.
First, the app is lacking a huge element of the website: the storefront. Now, I understand that CCL likely decided to leave purchasing out so as not to have to pay Apple the 30% commission, but the app would be much improved if you could at least browse what stores have the issues you are looking for or even adds hints to a cart for checkout later through the website. As it is, it tells you that x stores are selling it from y dollars, but you don't know anything about grades, location, etc., until you go to the website, and then I've often found there are far fewer issues and they can start at a much higher price.
Second, the app is extraordinarily glitchy and prone to crashes. I just spent about ten minutes trying to add as many issues to my wish list, only for the app to crash about twenty times. I was never able to add the last issue, as it kept crashing before I could select it. The crashes are made worse by the fact that the app doesn't remember recent searches, so every time I went back in, I had to type in my search again, then wade down through the first fifty back issues to get to the one I wanted.
Finally, while most people might be using this app on their iPhones, I personally use it on an iPad mini. An iPad interface—including perhaps local storage of your wish list when you're away from wifi—would be fantastic additions.
Were e glitches fixed and better searching implemented, the app would be a solid four stars. If some access to the storefront data (if not sales themselves) and an iPad interface were added, it would easily be five stars.

Fooled
I misunderstood what this app did. I thought I could make a list of what I have. This came up with other collecting and tracking apps. My fault for not understanding I guess.
Half an app
While the wish list is good I really want to be able to see my collected list as well.
Crash city
All this app says is "network timed out" and nothing happens....if it doesn't just outright crash. It needs a lot of fixing
Never had an update
Vendor does not care for his own product... sad!
Was a nice app for some time but constant crashes and not being able to login or load your wish list got worse and worse! Until iOS7.1... now it is completely useless... Cant even open anymore... Crashes right away... Latest version of this software is 1.0 that says it all... As long as everybody paid why bother and update...

Worst App I Have Ever Purchased
Constantly crashes if you select an item before the image loads. Why would the developers release a broken app? Oh yeah, to con suckers like myself who want a cheap alternative. Can't even catalogue my collection, so what's the point? Wouldn't even accept this app for free.
No Trade / Manga love
I have used CCL for many years. I paid for continual updates to keep my collection current. This app is a non-starter for me. It only tracks comics and none of the other items you can database on the program. I'm not collecting comics anymore, but TPBs and Mangas. It's bad enough I have issues on the site, but I can't carry my Manga wish list with me? What a waste of a dollar. Deleted until updated. Possibly permanently.

Great but crashes!
Crashes more than half times used!
Comic Collector Live
Nice app. Would rate higher but it freezes up after every 15 or so entries to the wish list. Also I wish they would update this for the I-Pad so it would be on a much bigger screen
Bust
The only reason I got this was to carry my Wishlist around with me. Every time I try to load it, I either get "10.2 invalid token" or "No Wish List Available". Considering I got this item just to access my Wishlist?
Waste of my money.
Waste of my money.
Decent enough. Fix the crashing.
Does the job of having your wish list handy and browsing new releases. Too bad it crashes pretty much every time it is started.
Good, could be great!
The app is a very good app, but there are some problems. First, it would be great if I could show your collection, not just your wishlist. Second, there should be a version of live market inside the app. And lastly, it does seem to crash a lot. Waiting hopefully for version 2.0....
The potential is there but way too crashy!
I want to like this app but every time I go to use it and I scroll down (in the app) eventually it will crash. I've restarted, rebooted, ect. No effect on apps performance. Really disappointed.
Meh.
This app has too many freezing problems. Every action results in the app quitting which becomes irritating. And you can only import your wishlist and not your collection. Very disappointed.
Excellent
Been waiting for this app for a while! Now I can go into a comic shop and know what I have and what I'm looking for! The wishlist tracking and story arc search and more... All fantastic
Cool App
Just got my Ipod touch and this was the first app I downloaded. Well worth the 99 cents I say. My favorite feature would have to be the Wish List. I also like being able to use a cover image as my wallpaper. For what it does, it works exceptionaly well. Looking forward to seeing this app expand in the future.

A great way to track your Wish List in stores!
Man, this is a great tool to manage my personal collection!
Provided the store has a wifi signal, I can easily see what I need.
Love it!

Great!
This app is just what I was looking for. I love the fact that I can carry my wish list with me. Also like search. Having access to just about every comic book ever printed is cool.
