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. ### 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! ### 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 ### 2/5 — The app has become unusable *2022-03-17, version 4.0.1* I’ve purchased over 800 comics and graphic novels over the years using comixology, and while the app wasn’t great, it was usable, and I enjoyed the service provided. The updates to the app and store have made the experience extremely frustrating and difficult. It’s pretty amazing that the app and website have actually become LESS user friendly than before. I hope that the developers fix the issues and make it less difficult to navigate my own library or find the digital comics that I want to purchase. Until then, I will not be spending any more money on the app or website. Will probably cancel my Unlimited subscription that I have had for the last 5 years or so ### 1/5 — HORRIFIC Update! *2022-02-28, version 4.0.1* This is the first time I have ever said this: I DESPISE the latest version of the app! The previous layout had a ton of links to work through, yes, but it was arranged in a workable layout that made each section easily navigable and I could check the latest releases of single issues by a particular publisher with ease. All I wanted was a way to see an Unread status of titles from the browsing window without having to attempt a download for every single issue in a series, but Comixology made that impossible! I cannot even see the Completed status of titles I wish to return when Borrowing. Finding the latest issues of Archie titles, for example, was an additional challenge, when it would have been a matter of ease before. In short, this update was not wanted, and makes usability VASTLY more difficult. ### 1/5 — 4.0 update ruins it *2022-02-25, version 4.0* Comixology used to have a darn good app. The library was easy to use, the store did a good job of highlighting comics and the reading interface was really good. Since version 4.0 the library is more like Kindles, which isn’t as well suited to comics. The store doesn’t seem to have near as much. But far and away the worst is the new reading view. Zoom doesn’t work. Guided view only partially works. In a lot of comics the panel view only zooms very slightly making it barely better than nothing. Landscape mode is horrible. The page is fit to the screen vertically making it tiny. And guided view doesn’t expand to fill the screen. Several of my comics show up sideways. I’ve got to lock the screen rotation in the OS and the turn the screen to read those. Even then I’ve got to remember to swipe up and down instead of left and right. I can’t believe they ever even tested this,it’s just awful. Prior to the update this was a 5 star app ### 2/5 — I have a very specific problem *2022-02-24, version 4.0* This app used to work great. Then the update happened. Now I get a constant “this item is not compatible with this device” message but have no way to get rid of it or find out what is causing it. It happens every time I open the app. Oh and if I was reading a book then closed the app without backing out to my library first then open the app again, I get the message and then the whole thing freezes while stuck on the title page of the last book I read and I can’t do a thing. I have to uninstall and reinstall just to get it to open properly. If this one very specific problem gets fixed then I’ll be happy with it again. ### 3/5 — Huge step back *2022-02-23, version 4.0* The previous version was quite good and did everything I wanted from a comics reader app. The smart lists put things where I wanted them, and made browsing my library very easy. This new version has really cut that back, making browsing more difficult, and not being clear about what's actually downloaded and what's not. The actual reader view is mostly unchanged, which is good, but for something intended to manage weekly periodicals, this is really not great. Amazon's integration of Comixology has been largely botched and would have been better simply leaving it as it was. ### 1/5 — Making it harder to enjoy comics. *2022-02-23, version 4.0* It might be overkill to give the app 1 star, but it cannot be stressed just how much worse the new version of this app is over the previous one. Everything that was simple and easy is now cumbersome and complicated. Features that just worked before (syncing between devices, remembering what you’ve read/what you haven’t read yet, etc) just don’t anymore. Organization is a nightmare. The old version wasn’t perfect, but it was at least specifically designed for comic book reading, and most importantly of all it just worked. This was the equivalent of seeing a perfectly functional car, and deciding that the best way to improve it was to break all the windows ### 1/5 — “Improved” *2022-02-22, version 4.0* I appreciate that you wanted to bring C’s design more in line with Amazon/Kindle, but the “improvements” make nearly every single step of the process more difficult and frustrating. I don’t shop for or read comics the same way that I do with books. Frankly, I’m stunned with how much more unintuitive the redesign has made things—at the very least, you might have spent time testing usability with folks who actually employ the app, rather than whatever “one size fits none” philosophy seems to be operative here. I have spent years on this app (and thousands of dollars), and this abysmal triumph of unusabilty and inconvenience has prompted me to think about quitting it altogether. Congratulations? ### 2/5 — Worse new interface *2022-02-22, version 4.0* The previous app was not perfect, not being able to purchase comics on the app is obviously absurd and so navigating to sales was not as intuitive. Now, the lists are organized in a worse way. There are no smart lists and there is no way to separate between on device and cloud books. The sorting options are fine, but it feels like there are some obvious options missing. Switching to landscape mode does not automatically fit to the correct aspect ratio and also turns it into vertical scrolling for some reason. It is a categorical failure of an update and I sincerely hope they make sweeping changes or, perhaps more simply, return the app to its previous state. ### 1/5 — New update has removed many key features. *2022-02-21, version 4.0* First, the idea of Comixology and digital comics is amazing and I would recommend any one who is curious to try it. My review is coming from a decade long user who is frustrated with the major overhaul of the app. Without ranting for paragraphs, the most important missing feature for me is sorting by purchase date. I also miss the smart lists section. When you have thousands of books the smart lists help you stay organized on one screen with out having to go back and forth between different sorting options. I’m sure the way this all works is fine for books, were you spend a lot of time with one book. But for comics, where you may buy a dozen or two a week and they take 15 minutes to read, and you don’t always get to read them all that week, and often you are reading multiple books that are part of a big crossover where the order matters … so, yeah, organization is vital. When you are finished with a book there isn’t any easy way to go back to the Home Screen without clicking backwards out of the book, or the path it took to get there either. And the entire mechanism for how the app sorts books you open but don’t read …. Uggg. This turned into rant. ### 1/5 — Newest update is biggest downgrade *2022-02-21, version 4.0* I’ve been a user of Comixology since 2014 and enjoyed the fact that if something was misprinted then it wouldn’t be long before a book got an update to fix a page. In fact, sometimes whole graphic novels would be updated with better image quality or updated colors. With 4.0 all those updates to all of the Comixology library has been stripped. Lists of what I had downloaded most recently, bought most recently, and was in the middle of reading were all handy feature that were stripped away in the latest update. Since 2014 I downloaded a plethroa of free titles that were usually #1s to see if I liked a book. To clear things up, I would often archive the #1s I didn’t care for or archive a book that I knew I wouldn’t read again. That cleared up my library and allowed me to focus on the unread books. The newest update got rid of the archive and now only lets you permanently delete a book. Those archives books now flood my library with confusion as every book in my collection is marked unread. This update has crushed the app I once loved and had poured $1000+ into over the years. Now the app is just a dumpster fire. ### 1/5 — New Update is Trash *2022-02-20, version 4.0* The latest update here from the last couple days is the worst downgrade for an app/company that I’ve ever experienced. The in-app interface and digital comic reader have been overhauled and made infinitely worse. The guided view when reading comics makes the images look borderline grainy, you have to download a whole sample to preview a book rather than just reading it on the book’s page. The comic archive where all the books you’ve purchased is now organized in such a bizarre way and for some reason they’ve added a “permanently delete” option when you select a comic so if you choose that option, you have to purchase the comic a second time…? Not to mention the site where you go to buy the comics to download on to the app has now been fully merged with Amazon’s site so searching for any one issue of a comic is a nightmare bc it’ll pull up results for non-comic items before the comic issues, plus there’s no way to filter it to only search Comixology’s database. The whole update across the board is god-awful and the worst I’ve ever seen, I only continue to use it bc I have no other option… ### 1/5 — Terrible Regression *2022-02-20, version 4.0* This new version of Comixology is, as reflected in the reviews of so many others, an unmitigated disaster. I do not recall any other app. ever going so far in reverse from one version to an "upgraded" version. The new version has become a reader only; virtually every convenient feature that made the earlier versions of Comixolgy an excellent app. has been eliminated. The new inability to order comics as in-app purchases is the worst defect. Forget this: I am going back to paper. JUST AWFUL: no more archiving of books, no more progress lines showing how far one has progressed reading a particular book, no more list of books recently read, etc., etc. (there is, however, an irksome icon at the bottom of the screen of the last book one has read that one cannot get rid of). Bring back the old Comixology, please!!!…otherwise, I may go back to paper. ### 2/5 — New Update removed useful features *2022-02-19, version 4.0* The removal of the smart list is a big drawback for me. I have become an infrequent reader the last few years and the organization of such rows as “current reading” and “recently purchased” helped to remind me of things to pick back up after long periods of time away. I will occasionally buy something to read later and grouping by recently purchased as opposed to the release date helps for finding older comics I currently bought to read easier . The fact that these synced to the cloud was very convenient when switching devices, as it helped to maintain reading list continuity. The “Library” ( which seem to be what was previously “My Library” ) is not of much use to me, as I have a accumulated a large collection over many years and having everything in one place, for me, can make finding something I was reading but cannot remember the tile of difficult. Making that and “Explore” the only options seems like a huge drawback to me from the previous version. While I still go to my local comic shop monthly to check my pull box for a few series, I mostly read digital for it’s convenience. I hope that at least some of the innovative features like the smart list and others removed can find there way back into was a great comic reader. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2022-02-19, version 4.0* PLEASE return to the old version. The new one is poorer picture quality, no archive system, terrible organization options for library (why lose smart lists??), and enraging difficult in series navigation for purchases ie in order to get “series details” it starts you back to issue 1 instead of the old OBVIOUSLY superior method of jumping to your current issue number WITHIN the larger series and allowing you to scroll backwards or forwards from there. If I want to buy the single issues preceding and following the current issue I’m reading why oh WHY would I have to scroll all the way from issue 1 again? Also no Event or connected issues groupings like in the old app at least that I can find. You have made this app far more difficult to use AND far less profitable for you as I’m not going to spend 20 minutes searching for a single issue that comes next in whatever I’m reading or searching for all the event tie ins one at a time by hand. SO fewer purchases and more annoyance for me. It really worked well before. Why remove the most basic user friendly and LOGICAL aspects of the app?? ### 1/5 — "Update" A Total Dumpster Fire *2022-02-18, version 4.0* If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I hate the new app. First update attempt failed, and the second sat so long at about 90% I was just praying I would be able to remove it for a retry—but it finally completed. I open the app and of course everything looks completely different. It takes me five minutes of fiddling with the settings to get things back to "normal," but scrolling through your comics collection is choppy enough to cause an epileptic seizure. Finally I click to open a comic—and it has to download first! ALL OF MY PREVIOUS PURCHASES WILL NEED TO BE RE-DOWNLOADED! From what I’ve already read online, the new file sizes for the same identical comics are now MUCH larger. Swiping pages in the comic feels different now, absolutely not as smooth as before but feels choppy. What a total mess this "upgrade" is. ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-02-18, version 4.0* Listen, I get that you want to update the UI even though there was nothing wrong with it. I can even understand how you’re pushing consolidation with kindle and prioritizing getting more unlimited subscriptions over users that have bought books in the past. What I can’t understand is why you’d ever have a release that would totally wipe someone’s downloaded library. I found this out while on a plane ride, which was horrible, but even now at home I have to remember what I had downloaded and why. I use the app all the time - why was there no notification. Really poor execution and navigating tradeoffs. I expect better. UPDATE: all of the unread flagging is off, so I can’t even tell where I was in various series. This is totally unusable and unacceptable for all users that aren’t using unlimited - like me, someone who has thousands of books they’ve paid thousands of dollars for. This might legit turn me off digital comics altogether. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pathetic, Amateurish, Broken, Hacky Excuse For an App *2023-05-28* 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 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 :( ### 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 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — A great app and experience ruined for no viable reason *2022-04-10, version 4.0.2* As a 10 year user of Comixology. I can say that the new 4.0 update has ignored anything I enjoyed about the app and my shopping experience. It has made it profoundly unpleasant in every aspect, from purchasing my comics through viewing current or previous purchases. I feel that this decision was done without the end users in mind. I moved over from hard copy to digital for space saving purposes. This new shopping update and reader have been a throughly negative experience. It has changed my comic purchasing and reading patterns. I purchase less, read less and as my story lines end, discontinuing the purchases. Maybe down the line it’ll improve but currently it’s a hard pass. ### 1/5 — ComiXology Is Dead *2022-03-13, version 4.0.1* ComiXology saved my love of comics. Physical comics were becoming such a storage burden that I started loathing the new comics that came out each week. I was on the verge of quitting comics completely until I discovered Comixology. It had reinvigorated my love of comics… Until the most recent update. The application is now completely unusable and has me on the verge of stepping away from comics entirely. The web store for making purchases is such a mess that I haven’t made a purchase since the “upgrade.” And with the current application I wouldn’t make a purchase even if I could. The application that I had once given 5 stars is gone. Now I’m giving it a single star and that is being extremely generous. The worst part is support is now nonexistent. What used to be a great support department with rapid replies has turned into a black hole for support emails. Support responded to one of my emails shortly after the upgrade and have not responded to a single email in the weeks since then. Unfortunately I’ve purchased over 52,000 comics on Comixology which have now turned into nothing. My advice? Save yourself grief and do not download this app ### 1/5 — Best Features Gone *2022-03-09, version 4.0.1* The old app was much better than the “improved” version. I wonder, Did they ask comic readers to test it? It is very difficult to find what is read and unread. Like many other reviews, I used and loved the Smart List feature. Another feature that was awesome was the Next In Series feature. When you finished a comic, it would tell you the next in the series or story arc. If you owned it, you clicked to read, if not, you could wish-list it right there. In all seriousness, and this is not an over exaggeration, the new app has me on comic life support. It has already killed much of the fun of collecting and reading them. I have many unread comics, but will I buy more? Doubtful. It’s just too much work and no fun. ### 1/5 — What a Disappointing Update *2022-03-01, version 4.0.1* I typically look forward to “major” app updates, but everything about this was so unfortunate. The app constantly crashes and doesn’t show search results. The whole search process is complicated and exhausting. Just one big, long list makes it very difficult and numbing when trying to find something new to read. On top of all of this, the worst part is the integration with Kindle. It feels clunky and not comic-oriented to use the kindle reader and getting rid of the ability to view a preview directly in the description (without having to download it) is extremely disappointing. I’m not usually this guy, but bring back the old version. You cornered the market and then burned it to the ground with this update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Was Great, Now the Worst *2022-02-18, version 4.0* I I have had the comiXology app for years and years, never had any issues or problems. Viewer was great, grouped comics by titles/years , no lag, easy to search comics, easy to buy comics, downloads were easy, resolution was great…..Now with new update, everything has gotten worse. Now it’s hard to do anything, can’t buy comics on app, comics don’t group right, lag when viewing,……..You think with update, things would get better if they could, but everything has gone down hill and gotten worse. BAD, BAD, BAD, please change back all features to old version. I understand the whole in app purchases,you don’t want to pay APPLE fees per sale. But at least revert back to old features. ### 5/5 — Netflix of Comics and Graphic Novels *2021-10-27, version 3.11.17* True, Comixology Unlimited is in fact not unlimited. However, it provides a good selection of comics and graphic novels. It is particularly interesting to learn about new series without committing to a $10 or so graphic novel and then learning that you do not like it. The price is right. My major complain is the limited selection of languages besides English. There is for instance hardly any German content. I saw a good amount of Belgium content in French, though. Reading a comic in its original language is a particular delight. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-10-28, version 3.11.11* Easy to use. Plus, I can read and purchase as many comics as I want, and I can now walk through my reading room without running into another full white comic box. It took me a while to go strictly digital, but here I am. I still buy prints of my favorites though. All the sales this app has doesn’t make buying a book twice that expensive either. If you have some patience. You can always get what you want on sale. The Unlimited membership is pretty sweet too. It’s only $5.99, and you get a pretty extensive selection of comics. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-11-17, version 3.11.4* This has been my favorite and most used app for years now. After updating recently I saw the crazy amounts of negative reviews and had to post my own opinion. As a kid and young adult I collected comics for years and had to deal with the clutter of a physical collection. Now, with this app, I can stay up to date on the few series I still follow and also fill in the blank spaces of series and runs I missed over the years. As far as the reader, its great. It feels like watching a wide screen movie but I can do it on my lunch break in my car or sneak a few pages at work. Some advice: check the sales weekly! I've gotten so many comics for so cheap (sometimes up to 75% off!). This let me experience the costly task of collecting Morrison’s legendary Batman run, as well as huge series like Mignola’s Hellboy and BPRD comics or the Dark Horse Conan for a fraction of the sales price. I still find myself occasionally buying physical books, but they’re purely for collecting purposes. Overall, while there are occasional and rare bugs, they have always been fixable by restarting and are always addressed quickly via updates. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-01-20, version 3.10.7* This is an amazing app for people who are beginning to read comic books, and if I was going to recommend a series for beginners I would recommend the marvel masterworks, most of the first ones are with unlimited, speaking of unlimited I would totally recommend it, it gives you so much comics and graphic novels to choose from. The only thing I don’t like about the app which isn’t there fault is that all the DC Comics are only available if you purchase them. But anyways this is an awesome app and I 100% recommend it ### 5/5 — A second chance *2017-08-17, version 3.10.3* I was almost forced to give up my hobby of collecting comics which I have loved to read for over 60 years due to the incredible amount of space the books took up. Thanks to Comixology I can keep up with my favorite stories without taking up any more space. I also like that I can read some of my treasured older books without digging out my hard copies and thus saving them from deterioration. The borrow library give me a chance to check out some titles I may not have tried yet to see if I would like to follow and add to my reading list. ### 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. ### 4/5 — List prices and add bundles to the app and add the violator mini series *2021-01-11, version 3.11.12* They don’t say how much it is when you’re looking at the comics and add bundles please it would be 5 stars if it was part of it. They should make Watchmen free because they have a lot of random free comics like Thanos wins, Spawn#1 and ComiXology originals but they should make Watchmen free it would be awesome and also they should add the violator comic mini series a spin-off from spawn without it he just gets his powers back for no reason. But the good things are how cheap the comics are and I do like the panel by panel option a lot. So overall this is a great app just needs to fix some things. ### 4/5 — Good, Could Be Better *2018-11-07, version 3.11.3* I've been using this app for several years and have hundreds of books on it. It's very convenient and easy to download and read comics with. HOWEVER the app is somewhat buggy; marking as read sometimes doesn't work, there's rare crashes and such. Also the organization of titles in the library is kind of rubbish. Don't the makers read comics themselves? There should be a way to organize by story arc when a story is scattered across a dozen thinly related titles with different authors. Yeah that's partly a fault of the comics industry, but I'd like a custom organizing feature or something. Also the ability to write or download suggested reading orders. Awesome, prompt support - I always got my tech support problems heard and resolved by the team. ### 4/5 — Why Can't We Organize Our Books???!!!!!!! *2018-07-01, version 3.11.1* I am deeply invested in Comixology having bought thousands of books from them. The app is great (the website not as much). BUT...and it's a big one...the inability to organize our own books by creating personalized folders is outrageous. It makes it impossible to keep track of our books by story arc or any other categorization we should choose. Every time I contact them they say they will try to add this -- it's frequently requested -- but given what they've got now, it shouldn't be such a challenge to do this. IT IS SERIOUSLY FRUSTRATING FOR THE SERIOUS USER AND MAKES THE EXPERIENCE FAR LESS ENJOYABLE THAN IT SHOULD BE. Comixology: PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
