1. [R1] iCollect Comic Books 2/5 · US Good and bad: It is relatively easy to do a catalog of your comic books but it never finds anything in the database to fill in missing info or give estimated pricing. Very confusing pricing for additional features.
2. [R7] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Missing comics: the reason I’m giving this one star you can’t add batches. barcode scanner still does not work.but my gripe is why can’t I just add a bunch comics at once I paid 10 dollars for this and it has a lot of missing features. Update 3/2026: they want you to pay a subscription now. they use to fill in the basic stuff for free but the say they have “ai” do it. It didn’t need ai before when
3. [R10] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Overpriced: Price continually goes up for the bare minimum. So many betters apps that are cheaper (and some free). Don’t even waste your time unless you want notifications every month about how the price is increasing.
4. [R13] iCollect Comic Books 2/5 · US Used to be good: I used to really like this app. Then the price went to the moon. They were sending notifications for a price increase up to 169.00. That’s too much. Now the bar code reader blurs the code only when you try to scan. What a scam app. I used to like it and it worked great. Now I’m starting over with another app which costs less than what I paid for I Collect Comics app and works bett
5. [R3] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US Needs improvement: It’s fine for the most part, but adding comics initially is tremendously tedious. Most of my comics have no barcode (hundreds) so that feature is practically useless. Having to search for a comic for every single issue in the same seriousbis just straight up annoying. And the range add does absolutely nothing beyond adding the first issue specified. The entire adding process ne
6. [R9] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US Simple but buggy: I like the app, but it is prone to freezing up while doing barcode scans. It also just crashed on me now, and I can no longer see anything that I have catalogued or my wishlist and the settings are frozen. I’m hoping this is temporary.
7. [R12] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US iCollect Comic Books on iPhone 12 Pro Max: These iCollect apps are pretty well done but this one has some issues. I have been adding lots of details to my collection and the barcode scanning is terrible compared to the movie one often bringing up incorrect entries forcing more editing. Adding pictures of the front, back and table of contents gives the option of adjusting the borders with drag circ
8. [R15] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US Main feature missing?: Tried it, reached the 30 comic limit then purchased. Before I reached the 30 comic limit , I realized adding “ runs “ was tedious, the ability to duplicate issue number 1 after all major fields filled in is non existent. Instead , I have to add #2,3,4, etc , each from scratch. Would be much better if I could duplicate issue one, with dates, publisher, title, etc ( attributes
9. [R19] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US app is slow: can’t add multiple different issues of the same title. I need to enter 100s of issues of the same title
10. [R4] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Awful: Poor support, and broken promises, was told updates would fix issues but still waiting; the replacement of poorly taken covers don’t stay, keeps defaulting back to horrible images, which I’m not sure how any comic lover would want associated with their collection, now after entering over 2,000 issues, my count is showing a few of them are missing, therefore will have to re-inventory the ent
11. [R22] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US !: Very frustrating and not reliable.
12. [R35] iCollect Comic Books 4/5 · US Share crashes app: I downloaded the latest app as of today and if I select the “Share” icon on the top toolbar, the app just crashes. Collection piece works great, new feature crashing loses a star =\
13. [R21] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US The app with potential but has issues: It’s Works fine but I wish it worked and found the comics every time I scan barcodes, it’s ridicules it works %30 of the time and don’t even try finding a comic by tittle it never finds it. It has potential but needs a lot of work done.
14. [R55] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 5/5 · US 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!
15. [R56] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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
16. [R58] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 4/5 · US Great app needs better offline mode: Gets every job done except offline mode - wish you could sort download library (everything’s organized totally randomly)
17. [R59] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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
18. [R66] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Best comic collecting app and pricing database I've found so far!: I've recently been tasked with organizing and cataloguing a massive collection of gold & silver age comics, and had been looking for a solution for building a master list of all the books, and this one has been by far the clear frontrunner for apps like this. I've tried several others, and Key Collector has the most thorough data o
19. [R69] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Love the My Collection Features!: I’ve been using this app since day one, it’s always been great to find the information on key comics, best out there. I took a hiatus from collecting for a few years and am slowly getting back in it and when I started using the app again I found the my collection feature. You can now store you collection on the app and track its value! Even better, the scanning
20. [R72] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Great app: Easy to use and a huge help in knowing what’s hot in comics
21. [R73] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Sources? Market values? What happened?: I’ve been using this app since its inception and I have seen it grow into what it is today. The best feature it has is the camera scanning ability. That has to be my most favorite feature to use! It can be improved, though. There are a few bugs. It crashes now and then and you need to close and reopen. After you’ve scanned a book and its details come up, i
22. [R80] CLZ Comics collection database 5/5 · US Fantastic!: Legit been looking for something for my collection for YEARS!! Hands down simplest, complete, and well built collection app ever!!!!
23. [R83] CLZ Comics collection database 5/5 · US Best Comic Collection App…PERIOD!: Have used this app for years. It has so many user-friendly features, is super responsive, and the CLZ support team is top notch. Any time I submit a question or suggestion for improving the app, the team has never failed to respond quickly with a solution or just to acknowledge having received it.
24. [R86] CLZ Comics collection database 5/5 · US Used for years: Highly recommended for comic collectors. Upgrades and added features improve it regularly.
25. [R88] CLZ Comics collection database 5/5 · US Awesomeness: Best app for comic collectors no contest!! ( mic drop)!!!
26. [R93] iCollect Everything 1/5 · US Bait n switch: I have a very extensive collection of die cast , action figures . Sports card , Pokémon cards etc. so I decided to try this app right off the bat you have to pick your subscription level.. I chose lifetime since it was for everything 99$. Then comes the upgrade to pro to unlock all the special features .. another 99$ I passed on that one n glad I did. On the action figures it was s
27. [R94] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US Great for organizing my action figure collection: I love the ease of the barcode scanning system as well the built value estimates provided by the app. I’m really excited to get a handle on my collection and this app checks all the boxes.
28. [R97] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US I collect seems to work very well: First time user and so far it seems to work well. Easy to catalog open items. Easy to add to a list.
29. [R100] iCollect Everything 5/5 · US Excellent to book keep: I got the app because I was ordering movies I already had. iCollect makes me keep an inventory of my movies and books. Their scan functionality is a great feature which allows me to scan multiple items in one streak! Love the app. Highly recommended if you have a large collection :)
30. [R111] Panels 5/5 · US Amazing for reading: I love to get books off of Anna’s archive but files on there always seemed to be different, I finally got this app and sent files to panels and instantly got tons of books!
31. [R115] Panels 3/5 · US Overall a good reader: Great that comics can be organized and moved how you want to do so. A little glitchy here and there but mostly a good tool.
32. [R117] Panels 5/5 · US Excellent: Worth the single price, best comic reading app
33. [R119] Panels 5/5 · US Amazing: I’ve been a TestFlight member for quite some time now, and this is one of the most incredible book and manga readers I’ve ever used. I only wish that the page-curl feature was one of the free options, rather than being a paid feature.
34. [R16] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Don’t download unless you want to spend 30 bucks: I thought it was a great app, I went through. I was re-organizing my comics and thought maybe I could just use this app to you know get photo of what I had sword stop buying the same ones. Then I get to 30 comics entered and it tells me that my 30 comic entry limit is done and I have to pay 29.99 to continue. I carefully read everything before I d
35. [R18] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US Mid: Good app tbh but you have to pay for more than 30 comics smh
36. [R28] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Very limited free usage: I input 25 comics and hit the limit for free usage. Not user friendly nor of use for those on a budget. Ugh
37. [R34] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US Collectors beware: The app makes you believe that it’s free but it will only let you upload 30. After the 30 they will ask you to pay a subscription fee. ITS NOT FREE!!
38. [R84] CLZ Comics collection database 3/5 · US Love the Cataloging / miss the values: LOVE the ease of cataloging & sorting! HATE that you have to subscribe through another service for values.
39. [R91] CLZ Comics collection database 5/5 · US Great for Inventory: I started using the app about two years ago now in order to just inventory my books and it has been great for that purpose. However, I recently decided I might want to sell some of my collection and that is when I found out the app is also great for letting me know which books are going up or down in value as well as letting go to the cgc site so I can see how many copies of e
40. [R51] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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??
41. [R52] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 4/5 · US Page swipe: Overall the app is great. Great way to catch up on back issues that are hard to find. But the page/panel swiping is terrible. I have to swipe the screen 6-7 times before it goes to the next panel.
42. [R54] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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
43. [R74] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Doesn't Have A Ton of Titles: I really like the interface, but it basically doesn't have any of the 300 comics I own. I'm not interested in earning points to do their job of cataloging and uploading them either. What's the incentive? Sorry, but I really need something that's convenient and not making me do extra work during my free time. :c
44. [R76] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Kinda confused but I like it: Good app just wish it wasn’t so confusing and behind a pay wall for stuff also can’t find a lot of comics I have
