Makes me smile daily!
This app makes me smile daily! I love seeing new comic strips from a variety of artists. The best part is you help support the artists directly. This app is a must if you love comic and the artists that create them!
Comics!
I love the app and the business model that gives me access and a way to support artists of the comics I read daily
Best comic site ever!
One of the only places on the internet that actually pays their artists to make comics!
Pointless app
This app is useless for flowing the view comics I want to follow. There is no way to just go to them to see the latest, instead you are flooded with every comic on the platform whether you follow them or not. I don’t
understand why on earth it is laid out this way. Deleting right after installing.

Access
Really great having access to my favorite snarky comic.
Low effort app
Poor navigation and no native iPad support. I’m not reading on a tiny phone screen or a poorly upscaled blurry iPhone app.
Great content, poor usability
I was so thrilled to discover there’s a centralized platform for perusing all the newest content from all my favourite webcomic artists!
There are even bonus panels for paid supporters!
But the app itself is not ideal. It’s structured more like a blog feed, with only the titles of new comics but you have to tap the title to be able to read the actual comic. And then when you go back, there’s no guarantee that you’ll land in the same place in the feed, so sometimes you have to scroll down manually to find the place that you left off. And the “follow “button doesn’t seem to impact the feet at all. You still see everything. A more social-media-like feed of the actual comic strip content, with an option to filter it to the authors you follow seems like it would have been such a better choice?
Second, the three or more individual panels of each strip are presented as separate little images that you scroll through vertically, which is a great reading experience on the phone, But if you want to download the comic, it downloads them as separate little images that you have to stitch back together yourself, and worse, they’re missing the comic strip title and author/artist names. Why would I want to share only one panel with a friend, and not the whole strip? It really needs a “download whole comic” function.
As I said, this is still a great thing. I just wish the useability had the actual end user in mind.

Great Comics!
I love Tinyview because it’s an easy-to-access way to view all my favorite comics and they support the artists fairly! It’s well worth the donation!
Navigation and UI
Forces us to update to use the app. Bad navigation and UI. UI made by 90’s designer or from another platform. Doesn’t use swipe to right from edge to go back. Excellent contents.
Support artists!
It’s cool to support the artists and fun to read the comics
It’s good!
Some good comics. A good platform from artist to audience
Just a wrapper around a web view
This app just wraps a web view of the site, with no native navigation elements. I was unable to find a search bar, and navigating comics is painful. There doesn’t seem to be an easy Next/Back system, but rather some links to other comics in the series at the bottom that may or may not be populated.
As others have mentioned, requiring notifications in order to follow comics is a nonstarter (thankfully you can disable them again after following). More annoying is the unfunny comments at the bottom of every comic. They can’t be hidden, and they ruin every punchline.
Finally, it crashed after about 20 minutes of use. I bought a premium membership, but based on this experience I’ll probably read a few more comics and cancel it.

Awful notification settings
I would like to have the ability to only see notifications for the comics I am subscribed to but the application is sending me notifications for other comics and for kickstarter projects.
Joined for Fowl Language
I joined for Fowl Language and when caught up will try the other comics. I’m current a bagel level support (because I’m unemployed) but will up my sponsorship level when I can to keep this great little app going.
Keeps getting better
A must get app for cartoonist and comic strip fans.
My favorites comic strips!
Lunar Baboon Itchy feet Fowl’s comics These are the best ones, I really enjoy them!
The app
Good app
Cartoons legais de artistas independentes
O app têm tiras frequentes de vários artistas independentes. Muito legal :)
The panels fit on the screen
At least so far...
Friend Invite is broken
This app has a nice feature of giving premium benefits if you invite 5 friends to join on this app but the invite link never generates. It just goes into a loading loophole and never stops. It’s a bug or their trick Idk. Please fix it.
