  1. [R6] 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
  2. [R10] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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?
  3. [R14] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 5/5 · US 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!
  4. [R23] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 5/5 · US Amazing back catalogue almost perfect UI: Nearly perfect app. I would just recommend that they have a tab specifically for all ultra so you can just click and see all of the ultra releases of the last six months so you don’t have to search by title for something specific and scroll down to the newest one, you should be able to just press ultra and get all of the comics that they add by order other
  5. [R1] 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??
  6. [R2] 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.
  7. [R4] 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
  8. [R3] 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
  9. [R31] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US Wtf bruh: I just started my subscription and I can even read anything
  10. [R40] 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
  11. [R48] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US Problems with app: I really do love dc but this app has it’s problems compared to marvel unlimited the app has more bugs where it crashes for some weird reason and I won’t be able to read my comics until a whole hour it zoom in option is ok but it’s very messy in a way where if ur phone is tilted just a little bit the screen rotates and it goes black so u have to close the app just to be able to r
  12. [R8] 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)
  13. [R11] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 4/5 · US Help?: I’d love to get my son into DC, but the search function lacks options like age, content rating, or parental controls.
  14. [R17] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 4/5 · US Great Reader App: Great reader app with AB obviously awesome catalog, but the “continue reading” feature seems to lose my recents every so often. And some settings changes don’t always take (minor things like the home icon or certain reading preferences). But it’s definitely good for DC Infinite subscribers.
  15. [R21] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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.
  16. [R9] 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
  17. [R12] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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.
  18. [R16] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US -lukeMCMonster: Did not like it mostly because there is a subscription in my opinion
  19. [R15] 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.
  20. [R46] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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
  21. [R51] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US Great Library Terrible App: The library is amazing and worth the pay if you read a lot of the comics. But with how much you pay, the app is EXTREMELY glitchy. And all support tells you to do is uninstall and reinstall which will fix it long enough for them to close the ticket before the issue returns. It should not be this bad for $70 a year. And if a bug IS fixed, it’ll be replaced by a different
  22. [R22] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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
  23. [R79] 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!
  24. [R91] 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?
  25. [R99] 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) !!!!
  26. [R108] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · GB Great but downloads are broken: Been an unlimited subscriber for years and I freaking love it. Enjoying the app redesign, despite the occasional bugs. I’m only putting 3 stars because currently Downloads are broken: every time I try to open my downloads tab, the app crashes. Very inconvenient to read comics while travelling.. will gladly change this to 5 stars once that’s fixed!
  27. [R7] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 2/5 · US 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.
  28. [R13] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US 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.
  29. [R18] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US PLEASE ADD SPLIT VIEW FOR IPAD: Can you please add Split View for iPad? Marvel unlimited has had it
  30. [R24] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 3/5 · US 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
  31. [R64] 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
  32. [R81] Marvel Unlimited 3/5 · US Made me pay for a trial?: The app is fine, i love comics as much as the next person and this app is good for reading them. But I decided I don’t like this app during the FREE trial, then a week or two later I open my app store and I can’t download anything because of a pending fee for something I shouldn’t have to pay. Good app, money hungry devs.
