  1. [R1] iCollect Comic Books 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.
  2. [R3] iCollect Comic Books 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
  3. [R7] iCollect Comic Books 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
  4. [R14] iCollect Comic Books 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!
  5. [R9] iCollect Comic Books 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.
  6. [R12] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US iCollect Comic Books on iPhone 12 Pro Max: These iCollect apps are pretty well done but this one has some issues. I have been adding lots of details to my collection and the barcode scanning is terrible compared to the movie one often bringing up incorrect entries forcing more editing. Adding pictures of the front, back and table of contents gives the option of adjusting the borders with drag circ
  7. [R4] iCollect Comic Books 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
  8. [R22] iCollect Comic Books 1/5 · US !: Very frustrating and not reliable.
  9. [R33] iCollect Comic Books 3/5 · US Scanner is bunk: The barcode scanner is worthless and the manual addition of comics makes the app freeze
  10. [R10] iCollect Comic Books 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.
  11. [R13] iCollect Comic Books 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
  12. [R16] iCollect Comic Books 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
  13. [R37] iCollect Comic Books 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?
  14. [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.
  15. [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
  16. [R28] iCollect Comic Books 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
  17. [R34] iCollect Comic Books 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!!
  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. [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
  21. [R66] 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
  22. [R49] iCollect Comic Books 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.
  23. [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
