Great comic, but app is work in progress
The app provides any easy way to get your favorite comics onto your device. Works great with the subscription, letting you know instantly when a new prog is available. Although there have been a few teething issues with the app, once you let them know of an issue, they're very quick to respond. It would be nice if it remembered where you left off in the app, but I'm thinking that will be coming soon. It doesn't matter where you've purchased your comics: App Store, Google, rebellion web site, all your purchases are available everywhere, DRM free! This is the way all content providers should be. Download the app and start your subscription...you won't be disappointed!

Great comic, frustrating app
2000AD should be considered a national treasure. As a comic it has always brought incredible talent, and in a world or sequels and reboots and rehashes it has delivered constant innovation. I remember buying the first issue. In fact I bought the first issue of Starlord that merged into 2000AD. So I am a fan. Living abroad I was delighted to be able to subscribe electronically. So on content this rates six stars.
Shame the app rates somewhere left of one star. It functions. You can read the comic. You can zoom in. But that is the bare minimum. Every time you open it, it goes to the main menu. And it forgets how many issues there are available. So it spins network cycles as it goes and checks. Assuming it remembers you are an actual subscriber.
If I could have one wish fulfilled though it would simply be to have it open to the last page I was reading. The Kindle app does that, why is it so hard? I know I could bookmark it, but pretty much any app I open will take me to where I was the last time I was in that app. It's like a basic human right isn't it?
The comic is worth even this, so if you are reading this to decide if to get it, go ahead and get it. But be prepared.

I like it
Never been a big comic book fan, but tried reading a few 2000 AD after watching the Karl Urban Dredd movie. Turns out I like the comic, and this app does a good job bringing it to my iPad. Looks good and works well.. can't ask for much more.
Zarjaz!
Looks great, works great, and provides all the amazing thrills you can handle. The new interface is very convenient and useful. Great work!
Sloooooooooooow!
The newest version of the app is painfully slow. It's bloated with stupid things like page turn animations that you can't turn off. It takes forever for the app to recognize that a new issue is available even when you've received notice on the iPad's notification bar. I have to reboot the device to get the app to recognize a new issue is available. Please get back to being a speedy app that actually works!
