This app is worse. UPDATE: Still a dumpster fire of terrible decisions and uninformed design. What an amazing leap backwards past mediocrity into incompetence. Steaming fecal garbage that continues to somehow get worse. On the plus side, I haven’t been tempted to actually spend a single penny since they released this embarrassment. What a pathetic step backward. Harder to use, poorly designed, and lacking basically every user friendly feature of the previous version. Did you lose a bet or just lose interest in your customers? This is literally the worst update I’ve ever seen. It’s like malware for your soul. Lacks a single redeemable feature and makes me never want to read a comic again. This is clown shoes, hacky, and amateurish. And those are its good points. One must assume no one on the dev team has actually ever (a) read a comic or (b) created an app, as this abortion is a crime against humanity. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the honest feedback. We're taking this back to our team and will keep you posted as we move forward! ### 1/5 — Lame *2022-12-03, version 4.0.7* I’ve upgraded to the newest version that supposedly now supports hiding books again but option isn’t available. I even deleted the app and re-installed it and still doesn’t appear under “Actions” after selecting books. I’ve also sent feedback about issues with certain books (mostly cosmetic issues like a black strip that appears above the page which is annoying but not detrimental) and received a “thanks for letting us know” and that’s it; issues still there months later. The original app was perfectly fine; never had any issues with it. I dreaded this forced update and am still disappointed with it. If I wanted to use the kindle app I’d have downloaded the kindle app……..sorry to the developers who have to work on this app :( ### 3/5 — Manual Organization *2022-10-05, version 4.0.4* I was extremely disappointed with this app. Its completely pointless since its just a copy of the kindle app. Why would anyone bother with two? I was hoping that an app specializing in comics would understand the needs of comic readers better. I’m talking about filing and categorizing. I have a large collection of DC comics, following Batman and his Bat family across different titles. Any comic reader would know how difficult it is to keep track of stories with crossovers and Rebirth and the 52 etc. The option to organize comics according to publishing date doesn’t work because you have new editions and collections etc. The current options are hopeless and i get frustrated following any story line. I was hoping this app would provide better filing options. I would have liked to be able to manually organize my comics into files, and order them within the file also manually, so that every big story has all the crossover comics in one neat pile. Another great thing would be to have the files then appear in a horizontal list, and be able to add my own notes next to it. ### 1/5 — Pathetic, Amateurish, Broken, Hacky Excuse For an App *2022-09-12, version 4.0.4* You know when an actor gets older, decides to get cosmetic surgery, and ends up looking like a grotesque and inhuman mockery of their former self? This app is worse. UPDATE: Still a dumpster fire of terrible decisions and uninformed design. What an amazing leap backwards past mediocrity into incompetence. Steaming fecal garbage that continues to somehow get worse. On the plus side, I haven’t been tempted to actually spend a single penny since they released this embarrassment. What a pathetic step backward. Harder to use, poorly designed, and lacking basically every user friendly feature of the previous version. Did you lose a bet or just lose interest in your customers?

This is clown shoes, hacky, and amateurish. And those are its good points. One must assume no one on the dev team has actually ever (a) read a comic or (b) created an app, as this abortion is a crime against humanity. ### 2/5 — New layout is garbage *2022-06-20, version 4.0.3* The new layout is garbage and hard to navigate. They made it too similar to kindle’s app format which is pretty awful. You can no longer see previews for comic pages, it’s hard to view full series of comics, and you’re forced to see people’s reviews. I wish I could turn off other people’s reviews, I don’t want to see them. I want previews back. The old version of the app was much better organized and easier to navigate. I don’t understand why they had to turn it into a kindle clone. I used comixology for years and it was fine. Now I don’t want to use it anymore. It is a confusing mess. Change it back! ### 1/5 — New update is terrible *2022-06-13, version 4.0.3* The complete retooling of the app has been a disaster. The search function is not even remotely as powerful or useful as it was in the old version. Not as intuitive to search or browse by publisher. Looking through the New to Unlimited feature is horrific, as it loads everything issue by issue and the new scrolling only shows a few issues at a time and then slows down as you click show more. What good is having 930 New to Unlimited items if you can really only look through at most 100? Unless something starts to improve I will be getting rid of my unlimited subscription because I can’t get the most out of it with the new app. ### 1/5 — Why? Just… why? *2022-05-08, version 4.0.3* TL;DR: If you are new to Comixology and are considering using it, DON’T BOTHER UNTIL THEY FIX IT. The shortest way that I can put this, is that the revamp of this app took every single screen, button and feature and made it WORSE. Comixology used to be intuitive, fast and extremely user friendly. With the recent changes that have rolled out, the app is now easily the most frustrating program on my device. 1. Downloading takes forever, when it decides to work. (This used to be faster, and you could have a queue of downloads going. Now, it can barely handle downloading one series at a time.) 2. There’s a, “Permanently Delete,“ selection right next to a commonly used button. (Which is just unacceptable) 3. The wishlist and purchase process is extremely convoluted. (That’s always been the case, but it keeps getting worse) 4. You can no longer have subscriptions; you need to individually go purchase each title separately. This app went from being extremely well designed, to hot garbage in very short order. The best thing that could be done is to roll back the changes and publicly apologize for this leap backwards. ### 1/5 — Destroyed a functional app *2022-05-02, version 4.0.3* Cannot find words to express how this remake has made this app unreadable for me. This was created to meet a few individual’s likes, while removing the ability to read a comic like a book. It is the most basic function expected in an app. Why??? I guess I will just delete it, because when I attempt to use it, I just get angry that I am not able to direct my attention to the comic, because of the strange contortions of the displays. I should not have to choose between read one enlarged box of a page segment, a shrunken whole page, or a number of shrunken segments. Those who created this, and those who approved it lack any common sense. I see from other reviews, my opinion is shared by many others. Perhaps the intent was to kill the app. I has for me. ### 4/5 — So far, the unified app is a step backwards *2022-04-29, version 4.0.3* The Kindke-based app is a disappointing step backwards. It is harder to use, doesn’t handle series or subscriptions as well, and a number of other short-comings. The worst is that it handles two-page spreads VERY badly. Comic books are NOT books. They don’t work the same way and trying to shoehorn the one into the other is bound, if not to fail, to at least be much much harder to get right. I’ve been a comic book reader for more than 60 years, a publisher for going on 3, and a UI researcher and developer for nearly 30. I’ve been using Comixology and other Comic Book Reader apps for nearly a decade. ComiXology USED to be arguably the best. It is now lacking substantially. PLEASE try to understand way the earlier team did so right, and FIX this once-great app. ### 2/5 — Update Is Not An Improvements *2022-04-24, version 4.0.2* I loved the previous Comixology app version better. The change in reading format does not bother me but the other details are not improvements but they digressed the features that used to make Comixology great for e-reading consumers. A few major Examples: 1) No way to see what the sales are on the app 2) When looking at individual issues, it no longer shows what volumes, graphic, novels, or omnibuses they can also be found in. Reading comics is still great in this app so, Comixology is recommended for comic readers but I rated it low because if you update an app, then make sure it is a move forward and not a down grade. Whoever designed this “update” needs to be demoted and retrained in their marketing skills ## Frequently asked questions about Comixology ### What is Comixology?
