1. [R5] 5/5 · US Great app: Love this app
2. [R8] 5/5 · US Actually is the best app for this: Go ahead and compare the features and functionality of all these other competitor apps, you’ll see that this is the one that is clearly ahead.
3. [R9] 5/5 · US Awesome: Awesome, simply this awesome. Well done with this app. I’ve been saving comics for decades super simple
4. [R14] 5/5 · US Nice: It gets the job done
5. [R19] 5/5 · US I love this app and I’ve only had it two minutes: It’s user friendly and very detailed. I’d love to see an option that lets you add signatures!
6. [R22] 5/5 · US The best comic collection app there is: Super easy to use and allows for so much detail
7. [R35] 5/5 · US 5th Musketeer: All in all, a very resourceful and complete app. Flexibility to add and edit entries, and to create a solid inventory for your collection.
8. [R58] 5/5 · US Good app, some suggestions: The app works well and was very easy to use. The more users it has, should also improve the experience since it's a collection of all users input. It's a bit time consuming to build a collection, even with this apps help. So be prepared. Suggestions to sort it: 1.) Allow people to alter the view on the desktop app (like: icon size changing or list view) 2.) Change "s
9. [R40] 4/5 · US Some parts slow, but otherwise great: Adding authors/artists/etc to a comic takes 5-ever. Once you press search, you are stuck waiting for the name to load in their database, and cannot back out or cancel the load (eg due to misspelling). You cannot add the name before searching it in their database, either. That is very, very annoying. Other than that, app has all desired features, especially clo
10. [R2] 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. [R27] 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.
12. [R29] 1/5 · US Lost My Collection: Can’t trust this app to retain my collection. I spent hours uploading my library on this app. I haven’t used the app in a year but had confidence it was there. Until I tried to log in and the system didn’t recognize my login credentials or even my email. No, I’m not “creating a new account”, you lost my old one.
13. [R38] 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 =\
14. [R3] 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
15. [R6] 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
16. [R7] 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
17. [R25] 1/5 · US Bar code scan doesn’t work: My CGC barcodes are good. They check out just fine on CGC’s website. Your barcode function is not scanning and manual entry isn’t working.
18. [R1] 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.
19. [R26] 5/5 · US Good, but be prepared to make a lot of edits: This is a good program, one of the best I’ve seen to organize your collection. That said, the database appears to be based on everyone else’s entries, and that can lead to significant discrepancies. For instance, scanning the UPC for The Avengers #43 (June, 2021) will return “Avengers (2018) #43”. Scanning issue #44 will return “Avengers (Vol. 8) #4
20. [R39] 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.
21. [R11] 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
22. [R32] 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
23. [R4] 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.
24. [R15] 2/5 · US Why reorder the comics?!: So if you click on one of your comics it immediately reorder that comic to the bottom of the comics with the same name! Why?? The ordering should be by issue number and that is all. Why autoorder the comics when we never asked for that?
25. [R50] 5/5 · US I love this App!: The only thing I would change is how the listing functions. Instead of just alphabetical, mixing titles together, alphabetize the list further by title as well. Example; currently Spawn and Superman are listed together under S. It would be nice to see a filter where Spawn and Superman are listed in their own title group.
26. [R49] 2/5 · US Great idea flawed execution: The idea is great in terms of keeping track of your collection. However people also use this as an opportunity to upload porn in the image section of the books you’re trying to catalogue. Bar code scanner works about 50 percent of the time. Sometimes not at all and then pulls up incorrect titles. This app functions like a new Wikipedia. The free option is ok but don’t
27. [R68] 4/5 · US Great app but beware....: Some of the back cover pics are not suitable for kids. Some people thought it would be funny to put nude pics in.
28. [R84] 1/5 · US Not Supported (WARNING-PORN): This app could have been great, but it is no longer supported (except for the random emails they send you trying to get you to buy other apps). It is not very functional unless you pony up the $10.00 for the editable version. That’s almost fine. If it worked it would be worth it, but it still has multiple issues (and, remember, they do not support the app and email
29. [R77] 1/5 · US Bad App: I entered close to 8000 books very time consuming it would not scan all books and when scan worked title came up incorrectly. I was recently kicked out and tried to log back in and didn’t recognize my name and password requested link to reset password and got message email was not on record. I tried emailing them for assistance no reply from them. Days of work down the drain. I would not
30. [R87] 1/5 · US Money Rip Off: App worked great for few days then it doesn’t work. They don’t answer you in the support email & never fixed the app. Took my $ and has never worked since! RIP OFF!!!!
31. [R17] 1/5 · US Could have been a good app. It is making someone money.: Broken app built specifically to get upgrades, yet the basic app itself doesn't work. Must log in to see device based collection. Either way they are getting your info to spam/sell your email lol. If the app worked i would have bought the upgrade even though $29 is too expensive. Annoying menu cross sells you their other app - button is lite
32. [R20] 1/5 · US They Deleted my Collection: They moved to this app and Deleted my SortiApps Collection without providing any notice. They had my email address. Why not email me to let me know?
33. [R10] 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
34. [R16] 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
35. [R18] 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!!
36. [R30] 1/5 · US 30 comic limit then a $15 paywall: Was very excited to use this. Got halfway through my comic collection and then found as huge subscription paywall to add the other half. Will be deleting the app as only recording half my collection is useless to me. And I’m not paying $15 subscription to store the other half. I’d do $5 a month. Not $15. Heck, apple storage upgrade gives you multiple gigs for li
37. [R44] 1/5 · US Good at first but not lasting: I had to purchase the ten dollar premium to upload more. I got to about 76 comics uploaded then didn’t touch it for months. Went to open it last night and not only could I not log in but it said I didn’t even have an account. Don’t know what that’s about.
