### 4/5 — Please Come Back!!!

*2025-12-15, version 2.2.31*

Why? Just why???

### 3/5 — Now the best…

*2025-03-07, version 2.2.31*

…by default. Comixology has sunk. The Dark Horse app is far superior now. Their content is always excellent. UPDATE: The Dark Horse Digital storefront is no more as of 2/24/2025. Now we have to go through other apps & storefronts to buy their comics. I feel like I want to rant on and on like when Amazon killed Comixology. Corporate mergers are inherently evil, fueled by greed. I enthusiastically rated this app 5 stars before. Now I don’t know how to rate it after this bad news. I just downloaded all my DH comics and hope I will be able to read them all for as long as I choose to…

### 3/5 — Could Be Better

*2025-02-17, version 2.2.23*

Primarily use this app for The High Republic Adventures comic. Hate that there’s only pinch to zoom and no single panel swipe to view.

### 4/5 — It’s great

*2024-12-30*

I love the app I’m reading berserk and I finally found a place to read it I’ve wanted to for so long it’s really easy to use and for buying the books it’s pretty cheap compared to a physical copy

### 1/5 — No way to add stuff to a list.

*2024-12-28, version 2.2.23*

With the amount of data this is collecting it should be able to do that.

### 2/5 — Year 2000 & App

*2024-12-01, version 2.2.23*

Created an account due to CyberPunk 2077 purchase. In 2024 the website and app functions like it’s the year 2000 and as a result doesn’t support any kind of 2FA which in 2024 should be mandatory.

### 1/5 — MONEY EATER

*2024-10-24*

Bought comics they didn’t become validated and I ended up buying them multiple times because of an error, and they still didnt show up, I get an error message during “validating” what the hell?

### 2/5 — Clearly little effort was put in

*2024-09-30*

The app crashes a lot. The read history doesn’t seem to stay if you don’t come back for a few weeks. And the pricing…… went up. For digital content mind you. Just go read Berserk on a website and save yourself the headache. Overall it’s a 3 / 10 for me. They don’t care if the app is a good product for their users and fans, they just want your money.

### 3/5 — Selection is strong, UI is lacking.

*2024-06-17*

I really enjoy the books available on here. I feel that  the interface needs some work to really top it all off. I’d like to save series’ to a list for potential purchase in the future and a bit more feedback when i do certain prompts like clicking on specific books.

### 1/5 — Reading history constantly lost.

*2024-06-06, version 2.2.23*

I’ve been reading Berserk, and there will be times where I don’t come back to it for a couple weeks. I keep it downloaded on the app and on several occasions when I reopen the volume I was reading, my progress is completely gone. Happens on other books too, I reached out about this through the in app feedback three months ago, got a response saying they would send it to the def team. Here we are today and its happened again. I don’t recommend this app at all, use kindle or something.

### 3/5 — Needs a wish list

*2024-04-12, version 2.2.23*

App needs a wish list

### 2/5 — Raised the prices

*2024-03-12, version 2.2.23*

I was looking at a book yesterday. I went to buy it this morning and I noticed the price was raised by like ten bucks. Can you please not do that?

### 4/5 — Overall, fine. Needs some polishing

*2024-02-17*

The “bookshelf” screen is black until I toggle the “show downloaded titles”. Highly confusing.

When reading in panel mode, swiping backwards doesn’t work. I have to TAP on the right half of the screen to go back. However, forward swiping works great.

I’m sure there’s more.

### 4/5 — Good content, app needs work

*2023-08-07, version 2.2.7*

The selection of comics is tantalizing to this newcomer. However, I have a major complaint with the app. Why is there no wishlist/reading list/save for later feature?? It would make it so much easier to shop if I could have a running list of the comics I’m interested and then come back to it later. It’s like if Amazon didn’t have a shopping cart function.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Plain theft

*2026-01-20, version 2.2.31*

I paid a premium price compared to Amazon or Apple to purchase work directly from Dark Horse.

Now their digital service is discontinued with no way provided to permanently download purchases to my machine. On their website they have the gall to claim that this is OK because we never owned these books. Truly shameless.

### 1/5 — No

*2026-01-02, version 2.2.31*

The video is not what was in the app, not very good, all I had was like 5 comics for me to read

### 1/5 — Shutdown & no way to download

*2025-07-15, version 2.2.31*

I bought comics from these scammers. I can read them in this app as long as it runs, but that’s it. Can’t complete the series. Can’t download. Stay away.

### 1/5 — Why is it shutting down?

*2025-07-11, version 2.2.31*

I love this app and don’t see a reason it can’t stay up

### 1/5 — Bad business practice/anti consumer

*2025-03-23, version 2.2.31*

Revoking everyone’s licenses to products they paid hard earned money for and shutting down

### 1/5 — Thousands of dollars lost

*2025-03-21*

Don’t understand why you can’t keep the servers going for your loyal customers. Bought almost everything you sold, can only download it to my device, not to a PC, don’t have nearly the space on my device to download even half of my purchases. So I’m just screwed out of content I paid for. I can access about a third of my purchases until this device dies, then even that is gone forever.

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2025-03-04*

Shutting down app which results in all orders no longer being able to be read. Stealing money, least they can do is offer a refund or keep the app up with the store disabled

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2025-02-25, version 2.2.31*

Paid for comics and now they are shutting down access.

### 1/5 — End of lifed app and losing access to comics

*2025-02-24, version 2.2.23*

I have spent hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars through this app.  Dark Horse is removing all access to the comics purchased during summer 2025 with 0 compensation.

### 1/5 — Goodbye

*2025-02-24, version 2.2.23*

I’m sad to see the downloads for the comics stop.

### 5/5 — I miss this

*2026-02-04*

Probably one of the best apps to read berserk on too bad it’s gone.

### 5/5 — DARK HORSE CHANGED MY LIFE🥹😆

*2025-09-12*

I was a nerd and college the geek type🤓👆. I had just gotten a swirly from Timmy tuff knuckles when all of a sudden i got a call from my favorite bully saying that he burned all my Naruto x sakura fan fics. I was devestated and wanted to end it all when dark horse came along it got me out of dark times. Now i can upload stuff and read stuff thanks Dark horse


P.s the bully got jumped for saying a naughty word in the hood and is now paralyzed. Blm yall 🧔🏿‍♂️✊🏿

### 5/5 — Why is it closing?

*2025-03-27*

I am a more recent subscriber and and, contrary to some reviews, I have been perfectly happy with the app.  Aside from the rare UI design issues, I have been impressed and happy.  

This is my favorite comic reader, and Dark Horse really are more of the comic book lovers company and seem to have as much enthusiasm about their comics as readers do.  Because of that, they have some nice features like being able to buy and manage full digital copies.   

And I haven't bought that many cause I'm kind of poor but did we not buy enough?   Were we not loud enough in support?   I really hope you guys come out with a digital storefront again, as much as I like buying physical copies, so much of the future of print is either digital, or digital supported, or physical-print supported digital. 

Anyways, I love you guys,  I hope you guys can figure out a way to come back to digital at some point.

### 5/5 — Good times, but now I’m sad

*2025-03-06*

I love the app but I’m sad to see it go. I really don’t want to lose all of my purchases. I’m super sad, but glad that it happened.

### 5/5 — Dark Horse in the race that finishes first!

*2024-11-16*

Such a wonderful experience with this app / content. A trip down memory lane with some titles and excitement in exploring new creator series. Dark Horse, keep up the good work!

Cheers,

A fan of the medium.

### 5/5 — Best way to read Hellboy

*2023-12-13, version 2.2.22*

Everything here. In omnibus and trade paperback format at much cheaper prices than the physical books.

### 5/5 — Call me when you have time

*2023-06-18*

Got it from my office

### 5/5 — Comics

*2023-04-17, version 2.2.15*

Makes me happy

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-05-05*

Much improved over the years!

### 5/5 — Force closes managa

*2022-04-11*

Downloaded, signed up , and bought berserk Vol1 and was reading for maybe 10 minutes and then the app constantly force closes and will not let me back into my book. Following the FAQ; only clearing the cache works and then once i get close to where i was in my chapter it kicks me out starting it all over again. Contacted customer support, hopefully they follow up with something worthwhile

Edit: had issues with the first download of the book, had to archive and then re download. Customer service was exemplary help
