What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

  1. [R5] 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!
  2. [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
  3. [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?
  4. [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.
  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. [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.
  10. [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)
  11. [R28] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US iPad Air 2: Kinda ridiculous you can’t use this app on an iPad Air 2….
  12. [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
  13. [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.
  14. [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!
  15. [R16] DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 1/5 · US -lukeMCMonster: Did not like it mostly because there is a subscription in my opinion
  16. [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.
  17. [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
  18. [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
  19. [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
  20. [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
  21. [R69] WEBTOON 3/5 · US Good but too many ads: While I’ve been reading for a while and there’s tons of good comics and all, there’s just too many ads now
  22. [R70] WEBTOON 1/5 · US Ads are crashing the app: The pop up ads they use as a banner overlay for every first 5 sec of each new episode you read crashes the app and puts it into a no response. Forcing you to re open the app…… and that’s right have to go through the ad again. After it happens after every episode you break down and go purchase the Manta app. Rather pay money than deal with an app that’s supposedly free bu
  23. [R72] WEBTOON 3/5 · US Intrusive ads: I used to love WEBTOON but lately the ads have gotten more and more intrusive- including videos that overlay the comic for a short time, even if you’re a subscriber. Greedy greedy and it just makes the app less appealing.
  24. [R75] WEBTOON 3/5 · US Ads ads ads money money money: I’ve been reading from WEBTOON since 2016. This used to be a great app. It’s pretty much a cash grab that you can either spend your money or watch ads that take up double your time trying to read if you want to unlock multiple chapters. I never minded if you wanted to read ahead you can pay for that but the ads are ridiculous at this point. You want me to watch an ad
  25. [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.
  26. [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
  27. [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
