(If it did, it would be faster and easier to use!) It’s just a browser and displays the comic pages wholesale, including any ads the site owners have up. No lost revenue here. Find something more constructive to be offended about, people! ### 4/5 — One flaw *2019-09-21, version 3.0.6* This app is awesome I love the webcomics on here but when I was reading homestuck it immediately took me to the end I would appreciate it if you fixed it ### 3/5 — Eh. *2019-03-22, version 2.2.4* I’ve been using this app to read Homestuck, but recently it hasn’t been loading. This is short, but i’ve been reading it a lot. It would be nice to fix this issue. ### 4/5 — Minor issues, good overall *2018-10-17, version 2.2.3* I love the app overall, especially the fact that it loads the actual web page. That allows the artist to get their ad revenue, unlike other screen scraper apps. It does need some work though. The Grrl Power comic stopped registering updates a week or two ago, though you could still navigate to the new comic once you opened it. Now though, it fails to find it and won’t load at all. This issue is the one downside of an otherwise awesome app. ### 2/5 — barely works *2018-09-09, version 2.2.2* Barely works on my iPad, most comics won't even load, and if it does then it's in a basic HTML format. ### 4/5 — Generally very good *2018-06-11, version 2.2.2* I generally like the app, only a couple of issues: * It’s a little slow loading pages at times * A couple of comics I like are missing (like Sinfest and User Friendly”) and no obvious way to extend the list. * Some comics with feeds that are working elsewhere are showing Fail all the time (like Ménage a 3) Still very nice. ### 4/5 — One issue *2018-05-06, version 2.2.2* Paradox space doesn’t load. ### 4/5 — Pleasant! *2018-01-06, version 2.2.1* It’s nice to have something on my phone that isn’t a web browser to read on. That being said there’s a couple bugs that need to be worked on. When moving to the next page on some comics, the new page loads halfway up the screen so that the top fraction of it is cut off. Also, some comics that are episodic rather than a long contiguous plot (Paradox Space, for example) just don’t load on the app at all. ### 2/5 — Can't navigate *2017-10-05, version 2.2* My favorite web comics are here, but it's impossible to navigate. I checked Safari to see what page of the comic I'm on, and I entered that into the app so I could start from there, but it won't go to the page. The "First" and "Last" buttons work, but if I can't get to anything in between without scrolling one page at a time then I'm better off with just a browser. 2 stars because at least they have the comics I read. ### 1/5 — Doesn't even function *2017-07-19, version 2.1.3* When you open it it just freezes and doesn't do anything. Do not download ### 1/5 — Ads killed this app for me *2016-07-31, version 2.0.7* The constant push from the App Store, forcing the app to crash and the App Store to open, is unbearable and makes this app useless. I hold the creators of this app responsible (as it is their poor business choices that allowed this to happen) and will be removing this app from my phone. It's too bad guys, this could've been a great app. Next time pay more attention to what your sponsors are going to be doing with your software. Your app is now garbage and has no place on my phone. ### 4/5 — Pretty great!! *2016-07-18, version 2.0.7* I love using this app to read my favorite webcomics, its awesome and since I dont read any longer on my computer this has been mad useful. Loading times are kinda long and a bit annoying but that may be just because my internet is not so good. Otherwise, awesome. ### 4/5 — Great but not perfect *2016-04-29, version 2.0.5* It tells me which comics update, which is the great part, but I guess the same tab popping up several times while trying to read said comics is slightly annoying. ### 3/5 — Pretty good overall, I just wish it had more comics *2016-04-25, version 2.0.5* I love the app, it's very well done, and of the comics on there, they are all good. However, the selection of comics is very small when you look at the amount of comics that are presently online. Several dozen extremely good comics aren't even on the app, which is a bit disappointing. I would still recommend the app though, even with this small problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stolen material *2020-08-05, version 3.1* This app uses comics without the consent of the creators to mad ad revenue. It should be taken down. ### 1/5 — Theft *2020-08-05, version 3.1* The webcomics and art work posted here is all stolen and no consent was asked from the creators. The person who created this platform is ripping off other people’s hard work and slapping adds on them to make revenue. Do not let someone‘s laziness be their revenue. This app is being reported so I suggest the owner take what they can and run before Apple comes down hard on you. ### 1/5 — dont download this app *2020-08-05, version 3.1* bro they stole all of the content on here go support the original creators instead ### 1/5 — It’s illegal to include comics in your app without written confirmed consent *2020-08-04, version 3.1* Many of the artists featured in this app did not consent to have their comics included. The app creator mentions that he asked permission, but he apparently also took no response as equivalent to permission, because many creators are just now finding out that their comics have been included without their knowledge or consent. ### 1/5 — This app steals content and lies about paying artists *2020-08-04, version 3.1* If you want to read webcomics, support the original creators by reading the comic on their website and report this app for theft. ### 1/5 — Blatant theft *2020-08-04, version 3.1* This app outright steals many creators work and lies about paying them for it. All hiveworks comics found here were stolen as the app does not have permission to use them ### 1/5 — IP theft *2020-08-04, version 3.1* Blatantly rips webcomics without the creators' consent and profits off of ads. ### 1/5 — Slow, cumbersome, buggy *2019-01-03, version 2.2.3* The app regularly crashes. It is very slow to load comics (I have 100meg fibre line so connection speed isn’t the issue). Selecting a comic by date causes the app to crash. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2018-05-06, version 2.2.2* Terrible app! I’m trying to read homestuck, then when I press the arrow, it says the URL isn’t found!!! This is VERY ludicrous and not what I expected. Recommend 0/10 ### 1/5 — Formerly a great app, now incredibly broken *2018-01-22, version 2.2.1* Any time I try to open any of the comics I follow (order of the stick, homestuck, and looking for group) in the app, it just crashes, ditto for every time I try to report a bug. I hope it gets fixed in the next update, because the app has otherwise been wonderful. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Oᕼ ᕼeᑕk yeᔕ *2017-10-30, version 2.2.1* It’s the best place I’ve found to read Homestuck and other comics ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-10-01, version 2.2* I love it it helps me get to fanfic easily ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-05-05, version 2.1* Lots of choices although some do not always work. The ads are not too bad since they pay the bills and do not make it too slow to load. ### 5/5 — Great. *2017-01-08, version 2.0.8* Simple. Great for comics where the mobile site is buggy on a phone. My favourite part is that I can click around within the links on one comic and the app will save my place. ### 5/5 — Great way to keep up with your comics *2016-05-24, version 2.0.5* Much less headache than bookmarks. I like this app. Makes it easy to keep up with your faves, and browse new ones. When I'm stuck somewhere with a few minutes to kill , I can read some great comics. It has some of the best webcomics , and it's on your phone. What's not to like? ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-05-14, version 2.0.5* Great way to keep up with your favorite web comics! Any problems I've had are typically on the end of the site I'm trying to access, not the app itself. ### 5/5 — Pretty neat *2016-04-15, version 2.0.5* I wish this app had a larger selection. Some of my favorite webcomics that I read are on here and this app makes keeping up with them so much easier. ### 5/5 — Awesomeness *2016-03-15, version 2.0.5* Was already reading about half a dozen of these comics and am ecstatic that this so lets me on top of them all at one spot. Have other I wish they would add to the list but am great full for the selection that it does have. ### 5/5 — :D *2015-12-01, version 2.0.3* The controls are SUPER easy to use and the fact that it saves my spot has been beyond helpful. The random button has messed me up from time to time, it's awfully close to the "next page" button, but otherwise it's just plain fantastic! All my friends use this app and love it, too! ### 5/5 — Coolio *2014-07-17, version 1.3.4* I wish it had Ava's Demon glad it has Homestuck. Wouldn't it be cool if you could read it without internet without going on the website and still watch the flash and play the games anywhere anytime? :) oi so far so good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
