Syncing issues

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

Won’t let me download books I have bought/now won’t let me buy books

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…

Needs fixing

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.

Won’t load or download books I’ve bought

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.

Basically Useless for Me

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.

No communication between the two primary Marvel apps.

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.

Great reading experience

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

Use a different digital outlet

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.

Can’t read my comics

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.

Doesn’t download comics half the time

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.

so glad this still exists

My digital comics are all redeemed via codes from Marvel comics and I am SO GLAD this app exists. It has all of the features that Comixology got rid of! Thank you Marvel! Never delete this app!!

New update

I usually love this app. But the latest update makes the home page not work. When I click home in stays it can’t connect to “comixology” but the other pages work like discover, free, just added. The home page is the most important page how can It not work

Filter by publication date

Love the app. High praise and recommend. Is there a way to add a filer or sort by publication date? That would be the only suggestion I would add. It would help with reading orders.

Great App!! I promise!!

One of my favorite MCU apps great read, quick and easy access, series are easy to search and find. Loads out great love the slide show reading experience and the vast collection availability. Thank you Marvel! You Rock!!

Custom Playlists / Reading order?

Love the app and the digital equivalents of my phone physical comics. Two features would make it amazing though. 1) custom lists for reading order. Let us choose to read the x-men comics in the chronological order or like an event. Sharing those lists would be extra cool. 2) have a filter option for both unread and inprogress at the same time.

Is there a more official place to make feature requests?

A few changes needed

I wish comics you could just read comics you brought instead of having to download the entire comic arch. Also when you buy a arch you can’t just read one issue of the arch you have to read the entire arch and have to buy the issues separately. Other than that I enjoy the marvel comics app.

Current version is crash city

I’ve loved this app for so long, being able to keep up with comics when I didn’t have access to get physical copies has been amazing. But, the current version won’t even open. I’ve even hard restarted my phone and still the app simple crashes before loading anything. Really disappointed

Deceptive “buy next” cue

When you are reading through an issue 1 and reach the end to be greeted with a “Buy Next “ button to quickly press and continue your journey, the next item in queue should be “Issue 2”, and not “Issue 1: the more expensive Director’s cut” .

Not like you guys don’t already get enough of my money.

Terrible app

I downloaded it onto my iPhone and every time I opened the app it wanted me to “join” and “renew my subscription”. I have been logged on with my account (already a member) and as soon as I click on a comic the same dumb prompt would come up. I don’t understand what I have to do to have it acknowledge that it already stole my $10 for the month but I gave up and deleted the app. What a waste of money.

Marvel Comics App is the WORST

This app is the worst app in this existence. I bought a comic and downloaded the app so I could read it on my tablet and it straight up will not let me read it or open the comic book in the app. It is trash because I paid for the comic and cannot read it at all when I really need to read it. This app is garbage and this entire situation is garbage. I do not recommend getting this app or using the marvel digital comics because it will not let you actually read the comic you purchased. It is incredibly frustrating.
