Compared to our previous ComicBook! effects, SuperFX is a game-changer. It offers significant visual enhancements and improved resolution, and the SuperFX styles are fully automatic. They optionally have three different detail options, each with three different halftone types, including CMYK and an all-new line screen. Our SuperFX effects are high-definition and generated directly on the user's device, ensuring complete privacy and the ability to use them without an internet connection. At our core, we believe in preserving the original traits of a photo while adding cutting-edge effects. Unlike other generative AI, our models do not alter personalities or hallucinate objects. Additionally, we trained our models on ethically sourced and homemade datasets. *The one and only Joanna Mulder lovingly drew the vast majority of our 374 included stickers **PDF files are only editable in external applications such as Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape.

It is very reasonably priced and doesn’t fall to the subscription based service garbage. The few in app upgrades are also priced reasonably and well worth it but the app is already awesome without them. Thank you for letting me purchase my app instead of renting it. The photo filters are amazing and look exactly like hand drawn comic books. The flip the page animation when you turn pages is a nice extra that makes the app seem even more professionally done. Took a picture of an action figure posed, and within minutes had a comic page ready with dialog. The possible uses for this app are literally limitless with a bit of creativity and imagination. Great job devs! ### 3/5 — Easy to use- a bug *2026-06-21, version 2.9.803* Camera feature defect - opens but only black screen. No way to use take photo feature. Otherwise simple basic app. ### 5/5 — Solid: Used for over 10 years! *2026-04-01* I have used this app for over years to create posts for social media, make cards for friends, etc. I’ve never had any technical issues. This is a solid app for making easy comic book style images. There may be Canva, AI and other apps, but I live the hands on control of resizing/opacity change/ placement of “stickers”. I love this app so much- great job on design guys! ### 5/5 — Decades *2026-03-24, version 2.9.803* Always awesome for…….Been useing for ever, and not just comic stuff. ### 1/5 — My money has been wasted. *2026-02-08, version 2.9.803* You can’t even DRAW. I prefer Book Creator, and thats the worst of the worst! Piss off, ComicBook! ### 1/5 — A little deflated. *2026-02-08* So excited to put some fun graphics together. On iPad the app totally stalled. The pics brought into the frames became inaccessible after the first one. Couldn’t save and move to another frame. Secondly, after you buy the app, thinking you will be able to create, they draw you in to buying the tools you need to actually make something. But those small packages of fun stickers etc. are only 99 cents. So if open to that. Ok. I might change my rating down the road. I just couldn’t get anywhere with it on my first try. ### 3/5 — Need an update urgently *2026-01-30* Most of features stopped working in iOS 26.2.1. Please review functionality and update! ### 5/5 — Great stuff fun and games *2026-01-26, version 2.9.803* Sweet ### 5/5 — Immer noch eine hochkreative App *2026-01-11* LÄUFT! ### 1/5 — Schlechtes UX Design! *2025-12-17* Eine nicht weiter zu empfehlende App! Langsam! Bei der Erstellung eines Flipbook bricht es immer wieder ab. Ständige Fragen nach dem Speichern. Mann kann keine ganzen Seiten direkt bearbeiten. Replacement von Bildern nicht möglich. Erst Bild löschen, dann neu setzen. Merkt sich nicht wo man in der Bildauswahl war. Da gibt es besseres auf dem Markt!
