  1. [R6] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Buggy: The app is okay. The reading experience is very good. The “page turns” are very smooth unlike some of the other reader apps. The selection is good unless you specifically read very old comics. Adding digital copies of physical purchases is a very nice feature. My issue is the bugs. The on that bothers me most is the recommendation system. It always shows the same comics. Always Star Wars, a
  2. [R38] Marvel Unlimited 2/5 · GB Full of bugs: As a developer myself it angers me to see how an app like this which is so full of bugs ever made it out of production. Who tested this app? The app randomly logs you out every few weeks. it looses track of comics you are following. The “keep reading” feature keeps show comics you have already read and doesn’t show the next comic. The touch point of the option button on the comic lis
  3. [R3] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Huge organizational flaw.: This can be a 5⭐️ review if Marvel can easily fix this app to where you have the option to remove any books you no longer want in your library, it is very annoying to see books that I have already read and no long want visible in “My Library” tab permanently stuck there. There isn’t a single reading app out there that doesn’t allow you to remove unwanted content from you
  4. [R12] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Great for reading, UI sucks: Please update this app. It desperately needs a ton of quality of life changes. Library management really sucks. We need the ability to select multiple items to add to library, mark as read, delete from library, etc. We also need the ability to make custom reading lists for ourselves. If we add a bunch of series to our library, we should be able to switch to an issue vi
  5. [R17] Marvel Unlimited 4/5 · US Great app with a small issue: Overall the app is a fantastic way to read comics old and new and for beginners to get into it. Though there is a small problem that I’ve come across. In the continue reading section there are several comics marked as read yet when I go to remove them the app buffers and then nothing happens. It’s a small issue but as someone who likes things to be near and organized
  6. [R18] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Make a Playlist/Reading List: I love the app but I wish we could make a playlist and do our own “reading guide” because theirs are missing titles. Please make this happen in the next update 🙏🏽
  7. [R19] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Doesn’t work offline: Kind of defeats the purpose if I can’t read the comics on the subway or a plane or when I otherwise don’t have internet even if I DOWNLOAD THE CONTENT ON MY DEVICE!!! Why is there a download option if I can’t access the file without internet? You’re competing with video games Tik tok you need to REMOVE friction!
  8. [R27] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · GB Marvel unlimited app: Good app, lots of comics. Unfortunately you cannot access your downloaded comics without an Internet connection (which kinda defeats the point) !!!!
  9. [R31] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Great unless you want to read comics offline: No matter what I do now this once great app will only let you read comics while on Wi-Fi which is great unless you download a bunch of comics for say, a flight and none of them are available. And if you contact support they say there is nothing hey can do. How about give me my money back?
  10. [R4] Marvel Unlimited 2/5 · US Honestly it’s frustrating: I used the free trial and it keeps telling me I still could use it even but when I click it i have to pay its misleading fees
  11. [R16] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Can’t even log in: It literally won’t let me log in. And please don’t patronize me just fix this. I paid 10 dollars like everyone else and I can’t even log in and read the stuff I literally paid for.
  12. [R22] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Disney merger: It won’t let me update my email onto my family’s my Disney account that we’ve had for so long. And then when I try to change my email based on the notification it gives me, it traps me in a loop where no matter what I press it doesn’t let me change it or do literally anything.
  13. [R33] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · GB Marvel unlimited: I love the app but when I put in a promo code it just doesn’t log it in
  14. [R7] Marvel Unlimited 2/5 · US Dysfunctional and unpolished: I used this app for a bit and can tell you right now, I won’t be continuing to pay for this after my subscription ends. Long story short, I don’t think it’s worth the price. Especially when you can read comics digitally in many other places. It was surprising to me how bad the suggested lists were. I don’t want 5 different lists of what’s most popular, I want real su
  15. [R10] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Terrible UX: It’s fine once you are reading a particular comic, but the cryptic gestures needed to find your way back to a series, change viewing modes, switch to another comic, etc. make it miserable to use. Do I tap? Swipe? Which way? How many fingers? When does the X show up to get out? How do I find other books in a series? How do I find a new series to read? Why do some books scroll, some go
  16. [R13] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US Page issues: It’s a decent app but it’s missing a lot of quality of life elements that every comic app should have. On ipad, in landscape mode, you can’t have double page spreads, or EVEN be able to fit the page to the screen. So you either have to scroll through a page or use smart panel (smart panel is a nice function on a phone, NOT on an ipad).
  17. [R21] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · GB Fantastic idea, terrible UX: Great to have the back catalogue available. I think the price makes sense. I wish the delay from publishing was less than 6 months (the guys at the other place have only a 1 month delay). But where I am really frustrated is it Feels like this app could be greatly improved with some relatively simple UX changes. For example: To add/ delete comics to my library or downl
  18. [R9] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Missing so many comics: It’s a great app if you only read Marvel comics from the last 20 years. Hundreds of golden-bronze age comics missing, or if it’s a comic with multiple stories like Marvel Mystery Comics, Marvel Comics Presents, Marvel Fanfare etc., they’ll say they have the issue but it’s only one story from that issue. And for a lot of late 90s-early 2000s comics, the scans are in the lo
  19. [R15] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Really Good, but……: Good app. Really enjoy it, just wish newer titles released sooner.
  20. [R41] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US I wish there were more old captain America: Some of the original line of captain America is missing, and of the 79 issues only about 20 are there. I wish they put all of them on the platform.
  21. [R51] Marvel Contest of Champions 2/5 · US Fun at first, but the constant bugs and Kabam trying to screw you over gets old: Look, if you're a fan of Marvel and like fighting games, it may be the best one on the market. But Kabam is absolutely incapable of releasing a new version each month without tons of bugs. Right now, they're enraging their playerbase because one of their bugs caused an unaffair advantage for a large group of people wh
  22. [R52] Marvel Contest of Champions 5/5 · US A must Play!: The game is endless fun, the grind for more champions and increasing them keeps you coming back for more!
  23. [R53] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Story progress halted: My story progress had been halted because of how fast the difficulty ramps up, the collector fight is too hard.
  24. [R54] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Bait and Switch: They said to spend money and units to unlock tiered rewards. Once I did unlock the summer tier 4 event by spending money and units, they locked the tier before I could get all of the proper rewards. No fault of mine. They just said they had a glitch and can’t fix my account. So I have to spend a lot of money and units to do it all over again. Not the first time they have had this
  25. [R65] MARVEL Strike Force 1/5 · US Bad Toxin Design: I don’t like the Toxin design you guys did on him. He should look exactly what he looks like in the Third Venom movie. He’s like a greenish blue like teal or something. The point is fix his color to the same from the venom movie. Like you guys haven’t seen your own venom movies from Venom all the way to The Last Dance. All I ask is to fix Toxin’s color.
  26. [R66] MARVEL Strike Force 5/5 · US Awesome, but I think there’s a bug in the new update.: This is literally my favorite game ever, I don’t have to pay or watch ads! Best game! Get this!! I have some character suggestions: Melinda May Baby Groot Jemma + Fitz - from agents of shield Thank you for this incredible game!! Also, I think there might be a bug in the new update because my best friend and I are trying to VS battle like alway
  27. [R67] MARVEL Strike Force 3/5 · US iPadOS loading issue: Good game but recently I have had issues loading the game on the iPadOS, won’t load pass 24%, needs update or fix on iPadOS
  28. [R68] MARVEL Strike Force 1/5 · US Long time player!: Warning: player for years. It’s a pure money grab now. Many long time players are losing interest fast. They’ve removed much of the achievable rewards, and put them behind a glass money wall. I wouldn’t mind if the prices were reasonable or had value, but they are far from that. I’m guessing they keep wondering why the ranks are thinning.
  29. [R79] Shonen Jump Manga & Comics 1/5 · US Can’t read anything unless you have the subscription: So I was really excited to get this app to read demon slayer, one piece, and one punch man until I realized you can only read the first three chapters of practically every single book! Only good if you know how to read every single other chapter!
  30. [R80] Shonen Jump Manga & Comics 5/5 · US Great for readers: I know a lot of us would prefer free sites, but at the low subscription price, it’s not a bad deal and you save yourself from sketchy sites.
  31. [R81] Shonen Jump Manga & Comics 3/5 · US Good app: The app overall is good, lots of options for reading material. It’s unfortunate that you have to pay for a membership to read more than the first three chapters of a book, but it’s still good content. Overall not bad I just wish I didn’t have to pay money to read further.
  32. [R82] Shonen Jump Manga & Comics 1/5 · US Stop making us pay so much: This app is just bad because it makes us pay a subscription for everything because some of us can’t afford or don’t wanna pay the subscription and those people are only able to read three volumes of a certain manga so shonen jump if you are reading this please remove the subscription because it is ruining the app experience
  33. [R93] MARVEL SNAP 1/5 · US Horrible matchmaking & locations.: Aaaaaaarrrgh. Soooooo flipping frustrating!!!!!!!!! Tired of the sea wrap. Quit putting anti locations there on purpose. If they pop up they pop up, but statistically it’s off the charts for them to appear in the 80s and Gold level. Takes all the strategy out and leaves it up to luck. The W/L records back up my claim. This game was so much more fun years
  34. [R94] MARVEL SNAP 5/5 · US Probably the best CCG ever(?): This game solves a lot of the issues in the CCG world. As such, the gameplay feels very crisp and engaging. 1. Turns are simultaneous so there is very little downtime in between turns. And there is only 6 turns, so games are fast (~5 minutes) and still feel meaningful/fulfilling. 2. Snapping mechanic is an ingenious way to allow “worse”/greedy decks to be meta. Eve
  35. [R95] MARVEL SNAP 3/5 · US Great game but issues arise: To be host I loved that game but then when I reinstalled the game an began playing again I had to start from the bottom but I got past that an in two day I was almost a level 50 from playing games back to back the game kept suddenly closing an disconnecting in the middle of games I had thousand of credits stacked up from winning then I logged in to the app and boom I’
  36. [R96] MARVEL SNAP 2/5 · US Galactus - Devourer of Attention: Phenomenal base-mechanics and careful attention to card balance and archetype design makes this game an excellent card builder. The game is unfortunately a mobile based platform designed not for best play, but to devour your attention and care for meaningless variants (copies) of cards and cosmetic borders. The best cards that define the meta are effectively be
  37. [R107] MARVEL Future Fight 2/5 · US Done with this political agenda nonsense.: I have played this game for over 7 years and I’m full on done with it. I’ve been upset about some things and I looked past a lot because I could find original content that backed most of it. But I’m done with the woke culture being inserted in to every fiber of every thing I do or see. This game is based on a make believe universe not reality and when you
  38. [R108] MARVEL Future Fight 5/5 · US Amazing concept.: I love the concept of this game and I love the fact that it is FREE to play and progress.
  39. [R109] MARVEL Future Fight 3/5 · US Desperately needs stability updates: I currently have Agent Venom at Potential Transcended level 80 with maxed gear and skills, and I just need Life Seeds and books to upgrade him to Tier 4. Life Seeds aren’t too hard to get, but the books are humanly (or demonly in my case) impossible to get. You have to complete Giant Boss Raid to get them, which doesn’t sound too hard if you’re like me and you
  40. [R110] MARVEL Future Fight 2/5 · US game won’t load.: never had my internet connection played a role in my game play, but for the past two weeks my game will not load and keeps saying it’s because of my internet.
  41. [R2] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US Marvel Unlimited is worth it!: I’ve been a Marvel reader since age 8 in 1989, and I love reading new and old issues on Marvel Unlimited.
  42. [R5] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US Worth every penny: I have a big physical library of comics but to have access to everything here without overtaking my small apartment is AMAZING!
  43. [R11] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US Great features: Also has Star Wars so now I can binge those kotor comics I’ve wanted to read since forever ago
  44. [R26] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US Love this: Beautiful every comic you could ask for literally
