DC UNIVERSE INFINITE

DC Universe Infinite provides extensive access to DC's comic catalog, appealing to both new and long-time fans. However, recent user reviews highlight significant problems with app stability, reading experience, and navigation, often contradicting developer claims of bug fixes.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements
Recurring themes
Who it's for
This app is for dedicated DC comics fans who want access to a vast digital library, especially those interested in catching up on back issues or reading modern content R7R9R22. It's suitable for users willing to tolerate significant technical issues and a less intuitive interface R1R2R3. It is not for users expecting a seamless, bug-free reading experience comparable to Marvel Unlimited or Kindle R1R2, or those looking for a free comic reading experience R13R19.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with many users reporting critical bugs and poor user experience. While some positive reviews exist, they often acknowledge past improvements but are overshadowed by current issues. The developer's release notes claiming 'Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements' are directly contradicted by numerous recent user reports of crashes and instability.

What reviewers actually said
Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R4] deleted downloads: every other update deletes my downloaded comics and i have to download comics to read since this app just isn’t very good/fast with streaming the comics like other comic reading apps
- [R7] Excellent app!: This app has come a long way from when it started, so I’ve updated my review to five stars. Everything works perfectly now and I love it!
- [R9] Good App, Lots of Content, Can’t Justify Price: My experience with the app has been really good. The comics are easy to read and there is a lot of content available. The app itself works pretty well across iPhone and iPad. Yet I’m going to hold off using it further as I just can’t justify the subscription price be it at the lower or higher tier. Over on the manga side for example, Shonen Jump an
- [R22] Fantastic: It’s only gotten better over the years, more stable, more usable, more user friendly. Definitely one of the best bang for your buck subs I’ve ever gotten. It made getting into comics that much easier - highly recommend! And check out your local comic book store!
- [R80] Worth the money: I’m a physical media guy but I’m not able to buy everything. This has helped me read everything I want and then go to my local comic shop to purchase the stuff I really want to own. I just got the yearly subscription so I’m curious to see what the gift I’ll be receiving in the mail.
- [R90] Worth it: Great value
- [R69] Love the access to DC Comics but…: Have spent a whole lot of time using the Marvel Unlimited app and one of my biggest complaints for that is their reading guides are pretty minimal and can be hard to maneuver. I love that the reading guides on this app are fully complete with either the core story or including all of the tie ins. But my biggest complaint is the overall maneuverability of this app
- [R3] New update makes reading near impossible on iPad M1 Pro: My previous review was four stars for lack of arrow navigation. They finally added it, except either form of navigation now only works about half the time. It was buttery smooth before this update. I wish I could just read on my iPad on the web, but there’s just a constant banner telling me to use the broken app.
- [R34] Doesn’t even work: Won’t load anything.
- [R58] glitchy: incredibly glitchy on my iphone 16 and jailbroken kindle 8 HD. on my phone it will flash black every once in a while and on my kindle half the pages are covered in gray blocks.
- [R62] Terrible app, terrible customer service: App just doesn’t work, despite me paying for a subscription. Screen goes black for a few seconds every once in a while, doesn’t let me open comics at all, and has terrible organization. Customer service literally did nothing to help whatsoever so I basically just lost the money for nothing.
- [R1] Terrible Interface: This has a horrible interface for actually reading comics. It’s ok on a tablet and a nightmare on a phone. Why can’t it just be as intuitive as Kindle or Marvel Unlimited??
- [R2] Page swipe: Page swipe is so annoying on dc, it now won’t swipe unless you do it 7 to 8 times . Marvel app is seamless with swiping
- [R5] Decent: A very good app, especially for people that are getting into comics. That being said, you can no longer move the page while zoomed in, which has made the reading experience tedious
- [R15] Great app needs better offline mode: Gets every job done except offline mode - wish you could sort download library (everything’s organized totally randomly)
- [R17] Help?: I’d love to get my son into DC, but the search function lacks options like age, content rating, or parental controls.
- [R33] Good app. Bad search features.: It’s a good app. Pro: Huge selection. (However cross over specials you will not find here across publishers e.g. dc marvel mashups etc.) The biggest con is the search feature in the app. It really needs some serious work.
- [R37] Frustrating User Experience: The search option is worst than Microsoft Outlook. I search specific titles like “Batman: The Blind Cut” or “Absolute Wonder Woman” and it gives me some bizarre search results like Super Girl. The app is so frustrating that I’m contemplating finding pirate sites instead. Please fix this app and learn from the Shonen Jump and Kindle apps or else people will stop using
- [R14] Disappointing downturn: The app no longer shows new releases for non-Ultra users and there’s no way to access downloaded comics online or offline.
- [R24] All of my downloads removed: Every six months or so the app will log me out and delete all of my downloaded issues. This will occur randomly and does not appear to be related to any updates. Customer service is useless. If the back catalog was not so impressive this app would not be worth using. Very poor experience
- [R18] Wtf bruh: I just started my subscription and I can even read anything
- [R20] Theft: Gave them $119.00 and can’t access a single issue. Keeps asking me sign up once again.
- [R30] Doesn’t Work on iPad: Terrible app, won’t log you into your account on iPad, support did not help beyond a generic email that didn’t give any actual guidance
- [R8] Missing Key Issues: This app is good if you want some of the more popular runs or to skim through a lot of different heroes. But it’s missing too many key issues to be a good app. Batman #49 introduces both Vicki Vale and Mad Hatter. And not available. If I can’t read expensive issues that i otherwise wouldn’t be able to read, what’s the appeal?
- [R45] Not Complete.: Lots of gaps in certain collections. Example would be Warlord. Their are a lot of published books not in the catalog that I hope they add later. You should be able to review the App before committing to pay. Lots of great features but definitely needs improvement.
- [R53] Nice app but library full of holes: If you want to read any of their more recent stuff this app seems to have what you want probably. I, unfortunately, have been looking for a way to read through a lot of their pre-80s comics. And if that’s what you’re looking for this thing is pretty terrible.
- [R132] Good but missing a bunch of comics: The app works fine but I wish they would add more of the Golden Age comics. And the very few that they have, it isn’t completed. They’re missing a bunch of issues in the series. And even with those few issues, they aren’t the completed, it’s just a couple of pages, missing pages. Please add the rest!
- [R12] In dark mode - panels are white - seizures from black to white: Devs come on now this is trash
- [R57] Just needs dark mode: I sometimes read a comic or two before heading to bed & when reading I have this issue where my dark mode would stop working after the first couple of pages. pls fix if possible.
- [R81] Dark mode, please: It’s a bit of a finicky UI, but it’s fine. Please for the love of eyes add a dark mode. The white background is awful to read with.
- [R84] Great App, but Also Wish…: I enjoy this app so much, love reading all the comics even from the first issues released! One thing I wish the app had was a night-mode or dark mode so that I can read the comics with a dark background. I tend to read zoomed into the panels, I pay attention better that way for me. It just bothers me that some panels have a black background covering the blank space and m
- [R28] Amazing app, horrible customer service: When my app had a huge bug where I couldn’t do jack on it anymore, the customer service was not helpful at all. They kept telling me to do stuff I told them I couldn’t do. Besides that, amazing app. Needs new customer service.
- [R49] Can’t access the app anymore: I cannot login on my iPad 10th generation tablet anymore without it redirecting me to the subscription page, even though I already have the standard subscription. The app works fine on my android phone, but the iOS app has become utterly useless, which the main way I read. If this isn’t resolved, I may have to cancel and fight for a refund. This is a shame as I’ve b
- [R11] -lukeMCMonster: Did not like it mostly because there is a subscription in my opinion
- [R13] Couldn’t find any free comics: i’m just a teenager that wants to read comics, i don’t know any lore on anything, this was a very cool concept for the app but i couldn’t find any comic that didnt require premium. maybe im missing something or there’s a special section of free comics i didn’t see but im very bummed
- [R19] Useless: This app is complete garbage unless you pay. You can’t even read 40+ year old books without subscribing. Thanks for nothing. It’s fine if you want to pay out the tail to read a couple of uncollected books from the 80’s… but they should’ve been collected in their events/series long before now anyway.
- [R32] I couldn’t open the app: I couldn’t open the app because it is not available in my region please fix this issue and make it available
- [R36] Allow it on Costa Rica please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻: Please allow the app on Costa Rica 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
- [R44] Disappointing: App isn’t letting me subscribe saying not available in App Store
- [R54] Why is the app no available in my country.: This is sentimental
- [R75] False Advertising - “7-Day Free Trial” not honored: The “7-Day Free Trial” advertised in the app by DC when signing up for one of the two subscription plans is not being honored by DC. You will be charged for the full cost of the subscription and you will not receive a refund if you cancel the subscription within the 7 day period as promised by the text on the app at sign up.
- [R10] Lacks a crucial feature that should be standard in 2026: WHY does this app not have dual-screen, landscape functionality for its comic reading? Its competition, such as ComiXology, has this in spades. It’s super annoying and absolutely ridiculous to still have this issue in 2026, especially when this app is sure to have plenty of readers via iPad OS. Pathetic.
- [R40] iPadOS 26 issues: I’ve used this app on an iPad for years and have enjoyed it. But ever since the latest ipadOS update, landscape mode is janked. Even with the “fit to landscape” toggled on, it will put itself into a portrait window. The fix is to turn off windows in iPadOS when using the app which seems silly
- [R59] I want to get DC Ultra Infinite But: I want to get this because it’s way cheaper than buying in person and you also get to read older comics that are almost imposible to find without selling your kidney But their is one big issue NO LANDSCAPE MODE I want to read my comics in school but I can’t Global comics has landscape mode and Marvel does too so Why doesn’t DC not have it when it’s comic and ch
