The whole app just crashes kicked me out. and when I go back into said app. Half, the work hasn’t saved itself and have to start all over. ### 4/5 — Error but still like it *2021-11-03* When I got out it was a completely MESS. It said error and it telled me all about it I was going NUTS. ### 2/5 — Great functionality but unreliable *2019-05-27* Working with students drawing their own comic panels and using the app to put it together and add text. I like that it is easy to use. Unfortunately the app randomly opens to a string of error messages and a black screen with no way to fix it short of reinstalling from scratch. It wastes time and I’m worried about losing students hard work. This is a pricey app for what it does and I expect it to at least work properly. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** Hi there. Please don't delete the app - or you will lose all the documents. Remove Comic Life from your list of open apps (double tap home button, and swipe Comic Life up to remove from your list of apps open) - then go to Settings > Comic Life > Troubleshooting > and toggle "Reset Application State". And then try to launch Comic Life again, and it should launch properly. Please contact plasq@plasq.com if you continue to have issues. ### 4/5 — Comic life *2019-04-11* I think it is cool but the one problem is you can’t change the size or the letters and numbers. **Developer response:** Hi there! You can change the font size by clicking the (i) icon > "Caption" tab > "Text Options" > and adjusting the size. Hope this helps! ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2019-03-30* I’ve always used this program since I was a child and now to use it again but on iOS is soooo Cool it’s the perfect program and I love it ❤️. The app version is really easy to use too it may be payable but so is the desktop comic life but it’s such an easy comic making app to work with very good. ### 4/5 — geht leider nach Update nicht mehr *2019-03-02* Ein tolles Programm und viel besser als Comic Life 3. Leider geht es nach dem Update nicht mehr. Weiß jemand ob man alles nach Comic Life 3 importieren und weiter bearbeiten kann ? ### 3/5 — Not Bad *2015-11-18* Great Idea, but completely unintuitive as far as I can see. Once you work it out, though, there's lots of opportunities available. ### 3/5 — Let's just say, less than intuitive. *2015-05-07* Features are there, but not at all easy or quick to access. Of course over time a workflow can be established, however the process is currently like something out of the 90's. And a suggestion, or request, please let us import work from the previous version. I was not able to do it, and if there is a way, please explain. I could find the file and start the process, but after 20 minutes I bailed out. ### 3/5 — Upgrade nothing much but charged at full price *2015-05-07* This is a good app, I love using it but my negative review on this occasion is due to the failed upgrade bundle discount. I received an email informing me of a discount on the Comic Life 3 bundle if I had an existing version. I do have the existing version but the upgrade charged me the full price - if I had known it was going to do that then I would not have purchased the bundle. Incidentally, I would have been disappointed with the upgrade on its own as there wasn't much new in terms of features to the casual user at least. ### 1/5 — Naruto! *2015-04-23* Naruto! ### 1/5 — Bof ! *2014-09-05* Passez votre chemin ... Une daube ### 4/5 — Good. *2014-07-20* The app could do with some new frames and some more variation. The features are easy to use and are great for educational purposes as well as leisure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nul *2024-04-08* Dysfonctionnement ### 1/5 — Get my files out and editable? *2021-07-30* How can I get my comics from this program to comic life 3 or another device?! In trays does not seem to work and I can not find any support for this feature. **Developer response:** Hi Ianblue! Please visit this page to learn the steps to transfer your comics from Comic Life 2 to Comic Life 3: tinyurl.com/CL2Transfer Alternatively, within Comic Life 2 if you tap the Tools icon > Get Support ... and tap "Comic Life 3 for iOS: How do I transfer my comics from Comic Life 2 to Comic Life 3?" it will take you to the same page. Thank you for upgrading to Comic Life 3! ### 1/5 — Lost all my work what now? *2021-01-15* Ordinarily, I’ve had nothing but praise for this program. I found it to be efficient and user-friendly for my needs. I used it for a period of five years on my old iPad. Recently I purchasedThe identical version for my iPad Pro. After working on it for three days I had three large projects that were ready to be uploaded to my website and print it out. When I open the program this morning I got a weird error message COMIC LIFE UNABLE TO OPEN THIS PROJECT FOR EDITING When I clicked on “OK”my entire screen when black. the program com-lately stopped responding. I’ve lost three volumes that were almost completed and ready to go all I had to do was upload them and now they’re gone! This is really unacceptable! Is there anything that can be done? I’m afraid to erase the program because I’m holding out hope that I can get my stuff back and I living in a dream? ### 1/5 — Crashed after one use. *2020-09-11* I’ve used Comic Life on my MacBook Pro for years and loved it. Recently got an iPad Pro and immediately installed Comic Life. Made a social story par excellence, tried to print it, share it and otherwise enable children and teachers to use the visual. All unsuccessfully - which I assumed was a technical issue on my end. Teachers said the emailed PDF file was a green screen. I wasn’t even able to send it to myself. But I’m in a new school on a new system, so figured it was operator error. Restarted the iPad. Comic Life then crashed repeatedly and wouldn’t open the visual I’d made. Tried everything I could think of to retrieve the visual and load the application. Ended up deleting and reinstalling the app. Boo. **Developer response:** Hello there SwampyBDJ. So sorry you have had issues with Comic Life. Could you please get in direct contact with us please - plasq@plasq.com - so we can get some more details and try to solve this please. Thanks so much. ### 1/5 — Was amazing till they pulled the pin... *2019-11-10* Released new version of comic life, suddenly this, the old one no longer works. Offered cheaper bundle upgrade...only it’s $3 more than just buying the new app???. Not good **Developer response:** Hi Tsunami191, We released Comic Life 2.2.2 in March 2019 which made it compatible with iOS 12 and from our testing it works with iOS 13. Please be sure you have 2.2.2 by checking Settings > Comic Life. In what way does it not work? Please get in touch with us via plasq@plasq.com so we can help troubleshoot. Thanks. ### 1/5 — This app is crash *2018-05-30* Everyone uninstall the game is crash ### 1/5 — I hate this more than life itself *2018-05-16* /\ ### 1/5 — Makes me REALLY mad!! *2016-02-19* I have to use this app for school. I went to look at one of the comics I had just finished making and I accidentally clicked the trash button, but it didn't delete yet because you have to click another button that says "delete." So I clicked on the empty space around the button thinking that the button that says "delete" would go away and I could edit my comic, but NO! MY COMIC GOT DELETED!!! I tried everything to get it back, but nothing worked. I worked so hard on that comic and now I can't get it back. I am very frustrated and that is why I will only give this app at least one and a half stars. I know u can't do that, but that is what I think it deserves. The people who made this app should really read this review so they can fix this problem. Also they should make a thing so you can see all the comics you deleted in case you accidentally delete one or you need one that you deleted. Please help me!👍 ### 1/5 — Wow... It's the worst app I have ever used... *2015-05-15* I know that the developers will probably not be reading this review, but I just wanted to let any one looking to pay for this app that it's not worth the $5! This app is overpriced anyways, and I just want to let you know that it isn't worth it. It's extremely hard to use, and deletes pictures randomly that I have spent HOURS on because the app is so hard to use! I spent 2hrs on a project that should have taken 30 minutes! Do NOT get this app unless it has improved! ### 1/5 — DX *2015-05-02* This is SOOO hard to work! It flips the page when you don't want it to and it won't turn when you do want it to. It won't do anything I'm telling it to do. One of the most annoying things is the speech bubbles. When I click on it, I want the blue outline to show up. It doesn't always show up, and that it really annoying. Please fix This! If that was fixed, then I'd give it 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Instead of 1 ⭐️. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A COMIC LIFER *2023-01-16* It’s 2023 Happy New Year! Hoping that a new update will surprise us soon. All the best, A comics lover. Last review: I believe that this app is the first version of the Comic Life apps that plasq developed for the series. Since then, they have developed Comic Life 3. I bought Comic Life 3 and now I have both apps. I have to say that I prefer Comic Life 3. Although I love Comic Life in general, I feel that some improvements would be needed and appreciated. Basically, I just find the apps to be very touch and go, meaning that the slightest touch and things can run amok (amuck). I don't know why that is, but it is - at least for me. While writing this, I cannot think of anything else I could add, other than the fact that the Comic Life apps are among my most used apps for creating comics on my iPad. And I have several comics apps on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Comic life *2016-02-01* The best game ever ### 5/5 — Absolutely love😍😍😍 *2015-07-25* This is a great app and it never gets old! ### 5/5 — This allows me to make good stuff *2015-06-01* And by good stuff I mean good stuvv. Because I named my collections, Video Stuvv, School Stuvv, Random Stuvv and Other Stuvv ### 5/5 — Great app but.... *2015-01-01* This is cool but not really worth the money it's great if you know exactly what your creating and its a very clever app😍 ### 5/5 — Otimo! *2014-08-13* Muito bom perfeito usamos ate em sala de aula ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2014-07-27* This is what I was looking for! It would be cool if the page turn had a sound or something though. ### 5/5 — The life of a comic *2014-04-17, version 2.1.11* This is a great app to build your own comics, it is just like the computer version but has a page flip system. I strongly recommend this app for comics. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-03-14* We are having tonnes of fun with this app! ### 5/5 — Very Good *2014-02-27* I like this APP! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
