  1. [R2] 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
  2. [R5] 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
  3. [R8] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US Great app: Easy to use and a huge help in knowing what’s hot in comics
  4. [R17] Key Collector Comics App 5/5 · US The best: I use this app almost everyday. 99% of my books are in this app. I recommend it to everyone if you are trying to price out books for resale.
  5. [R10] 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
  6. [R12] 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
  7. [R24] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Lack of information: Some comics might give “A HIGH” of $500, yet when you go into graded, it says “9.8 $50.” What?! Key collector needs work. It needs massive work. I would also like to see a non-key option, as well. There’s nothing more frustrating than to look at one comic & go to the next to see its value & it’s not there. (*please note: I said, Non-Key option”) This means that there’
  8. [R55] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US They keep removing my review: This app is trash, I want my money back. Missing a lot of titles and require one to upload missing titles. How can you charge the community but have them do all the work! You should be ashamed of yourself. Crooks! DO NOT BUY THIS APP! I am already writing review in other places to makes sure no one makes the same mistake I did
  9. [R9] 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
  10. [R6] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Frozen: Nice app when it works but my iPhone freezes up randomly when using the scan function
  11. [R7] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Seldom Work as Designed: The older basic version was better. Now with the scan to search feature the app freezes after 3 scans. You have to close the app to scan more. When the scan works and shows the details for the scanned book, let's say I want to click on the series and see more issues. You can't because this feature seldomly works when arrived from the scan feature. You have back out to the
  12. [R19] Key Collector Comics App 2/5 · US Scanner no longer works: I paid for a 1 year subscription. Scanned maybe a dozen comics and the scanner stopped working. That was the main reason for me paying for this app. It is also very difficult to look up comic prices. Not happy. Would like a refund as I’ve only had it an hour or two.
  13. [R1] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Price Gouging: With no reason of any kind since the app is pretty archaic, they DOUBLED the cost to “certain” individuals while leaving it cheap for others. Scam and a ripoff. No one from the app responds. Cash grab.
  14. [R4] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US Be better: Work on your price updates
  15. [R15] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Good but could be better.: Prices sometimes are not current to sold listings. It’s great to have the information about what issues are of note, but when seeing the prices on the app and going to eBay to see sold listings…it’s different.
  16. [R75] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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.
  17. [R100] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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
  18. [R61] 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??
  19. [R62] 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.
  20. [R63] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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
  21. [R64] 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
  22. [R36] Key Collector Comics App 3/5 · US Initial review: I haven’t found a way to export my collection and do a CSV file or someway to get into a spreadsheet would be nice.
  23. [R46] Key Collector Comics App 1/5 · US No Export: I would advise looking for an app that would allow you to export your collection and data. I would’ve given this app five stars, but there’s no way to export your own issues or wishlist to a CSV file. When going to cons or sending a list of what you want to buy or sell this app is of no use. Especially since I’m paying month you would think I would be able to at least get a list of all
  24. [R120] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US Why Can’t I offload comics?: I love the app, but I find it almost impossible to download any comics and read them for when I have no connection and even when I do download them, they don’t work because they’re not actually downloaded.
