### 3/5 — Syncing issues

*2023-01-04, version 3.11.16*

I am having issues synchronizing my purchases between the ipad and the iphone app. Would improve rating if I could have this problem fixed.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me download books I have bought/now won’t let me buy books

*2022-11-09, version 3.11.16*

Customer service is awful. I bought Thor two weeks ago, couldn’t download it. I contacted customer service and never heard back. Because I love comics, I kept the app. Today there is a new issue where I can’t buy the books at all. Fix your app or at the very least support it because those Russian sites never do this…

### 2/5 — Needs fixing

*2022-11-09, version 3.11.16*

I cannot download even the free reviews. It stays on downloading. After I stop the download and when I hit the comic I want to look at, the loading screen doesn’t finish loading. So I can’t look at anything. I haven’t spent any money on the app yet so it could’ve been worse.

### 1/5 — Won’t load or download books I’ve bought

*2022-10-17, version 3.11.16*

I’ve bought 3 books and have had an extremely hard time getting this garbage app to load or download them. I’ve reinstalled/restarted the app, restarted my phone, did all sorts of network troubleshooting and nothing worked. Finally, I archived all the books I had and restored them and it finally started to load. Fix these bugs already. I’ve never had a smooth experience with this app. Everything is a headache. I haven’t bought any more books because I’m tired of going through all this trouble just to load and read them.

### 1/5 — Basically Useless for Me

*2022-10-05, version 3.11.16*

None of the digital versions of the comics I’ve physically purchased and redeemed sync into the app after signing in. This appears to have been a problem for many other people for quite some time, so it’s surprising that Marvel still hasn’t done anything to resolve this issue. Furthermore, I am currently not even able to sign in no matter how many times I press the sign in button. I use an iPad Air 5th generation. My disappointment is immeasurable and my experience is ruined.

### 3/5 — No communication between the two primary Marvel apps.

*2022-10-02, version 3.11.16*

All of your purchased and redeemed comics you have stored in the Marvel app don’t sync with the Marvel unlimited application. Your account does work on both, but for some reason the app does not recognize any comics that are currently in your library. 
This would all be resolved if Marvel provided a standard file that could be downloaded to your device once it is redeemed or purchased. That way digital comics are actually owned instead of just borrowed when and only when you have access to the internet. Accessing comics in the application offline is not convenient. 
If one could use a standard reading application then it won’t be a problem when the app won’t open for some reason.

### 5/5 — Great reading experience

*2022-07-13, version 3.11.15*

Since Comixology destroyed their app I’m thankful Marvel still uses their user interface.  It’s easy to use and intuitive.

### 1/5 — Use a different digital outlet

*2022-05-15, version 3.11.14*

I liked paper comics, but I enjoy that I can redeem my marvel comics. However, the app is supposed to have a My Comics tab to read redeemed comics. The iOS version has a home button, discover, browse, smart lists, my books, but not something called My Comics.

Worse is that in the my books section my redeemed comics are not visible, either.

### 2/5 — Can’t read my comics

*2022-05-15, version 3.11.14*

So I decided to try this out for the convenience sake, I downloaded it and bought world war hulk. I was able to read it no problem so I decide to go ahead and get another one and bought iron man demon in a bottle a week ago and it wouldn’t download. I tried to stop the download and restart it to no avail. After a few days of trying it and not hearing back from customer service I delete the app and reinstall it. Now neither iron man or hulk will download.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t download comics half the time

*2022-04-14, version 3.11.14*

I’m reading on an iPad with plenty of spare storage space and I’ve set the app to use as much storage as it needs but for half of the comics I buy it will not let me download them or let me read them at all. I’ve tried closing out of the app and even waiting a couple days but that didn’t accomplish anything. One time deleting and reinstalling the app worked for me but even that doesn’t always work. It’s alright other than that but this is a significant problem for me.

Edit: The problem might come from signing into my Marvel account. I would have to do more testing but it seems to work fine before I’m signed in but not work after I sign in. Still weird and I feel like that should be fixed.
