1. [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.
2. [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!
3. [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
4. [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
5. [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
6. [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).
7. [R14] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US THE. BEST.: i love how easily interactive and navigable it is around the app, the artwork, although it’s the comics art, the app does an incredible job displaying the art.
8. [R35] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US AMAZING APP: This app is the best comic book app EVER! I love the smart panel feature and the fact that I can take it wherever I go. 5 stars for sure. GET THIS APP!!!
9. [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
10. [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
11. [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
12. [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
13. [R1] Marvel Unlimited 2/5 · US Stops ipad from sleeping: I keep my iPad on low power mode so if I fall asleep while reading, it'll turn the screen off and not drain my battery. Unfortunately, marvel unlimited stops it from doing that 😔 Could've sworn that wasn't the case a few weeks ago. Please change it back 🙏
14. [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.
15. [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!
16. [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
17. [R21] 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.
18. [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?
19. [R46] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US I HATE THIS APP: At first I loved it you can literally read any marvel comic you want and like the smart panel and everything is perfect BUT THEN IT SIGNED ME OUT FOR NO REASON AT ALLLL AND WHEN I TRY TO SIGN BACK IN, IT SAYS IM ELIGIBLE EVEN THOUGH IM SUBSCRIBED AND IT WONT EVEN LET ME CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT?!??? I HAD TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT WHICH HAD ALL OF THE COMICS IM CURRENTLY READING AND H
20. [R55] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · GB Steals money: I canceled my subscription around 3 months ago and they have still charged me every time when you try to click customer support or manage subscription nothing happens and sometimes it takes you to a site that’s untrusted by apple because it’s a financial risk
21. [R82] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Horrible support: They push and push to buy there packs and unit packages to progress and then when you do progress you get ur unlocked rewards taken away and them the tier rewards you buy in game when they bug and u report the send a message that life sucks and it happens with no accountability on there end I have played this game since the very beginning and this last year of game play has been
22. [R32] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US Great value!: I’ve always wanted to read Marvel comics. I read them as a kid but it was so expensive to get through a whole series. This subscription is a great value. It makes it so easy to keep track of what you’ve read and what you need to ready by adding them to your library.
23. [R41] Marvel Unlimited 5/5 · US My Favorite App!: This app is awesome! Definitely my most used app! Gave it a shot to try it out and will now be using it indefinitely! It has so many comic options to choose from and the annual subscription price of $68.99 is very much worth it! Highly recommend!
24. [R39] 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) !!!!
25. [R48] 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!
26. [R63] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Good but you need to put $$$: Good game but you will need to purchase stuff yes or yes or you will be stuck for days
27. [R73] Marvel Contest of Champions 2/5 · US Pay to win: The concept of MCOC is fun. Pit your favorite heroes and villains against each other. And I did have fun for the first week. During that brief period, the game coddled you, made sure you had fun, plenty of starting champions, made it an easy, I dare say relaxing game. But the levels soon jumped from easy to impossible. I had my champions in the green for how many points you might need
28. [R97] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Sucks: Trash the game is great till your characters get to a certain level then the game requires you to spend a lot of money to level up then spend more money on energy total rip off I would never spend a dime that can go to hundreds of dollars not worth it stick to my ps5🤔😡
29. [R117] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · GB .: Where to start it’s a good game BUT it’s too hard to upgrade if you don’t spend money and even then you have to spend lot and you still can’t upgrade your champs the bosses are way too hard in the side quests to even think about attempting them it gets a bit boring when you can’t go anywhere further than level 3 plus the game is really laggy I mean wow. this game feels one sided only for people
30. [R67] Marvel Contest of Champions 1/5 · US Overall Honest Review: I’ve played MCOC for 8 years and genuinely loved the roster depth, champion kits, and events. The gameplay can still be a ton of fun when it works. But constant bugs (AI issues, black screens, missing rewards, etc.) have made it frustrating, and the 2026 4th of July sales debacle, with pricing glitches, crashes, and weak compensation, was the last straw. After years of spendin
31. [R68] Marvel Contest of Champions 5/5 · US Are you kidding me: I’m still on the flipping loading screen
32. [R69] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US Isn’t working: I get on every single day but like 5 days ago it wasn’t loading it still want load.
33. [R72] Marvel Contest of Champions 3/5 · US don’t even know what to say: Great game great everything I download the game and they give me great stuff I pull great characters next day I log on my great character that I pulled with the crystals they gave me are just gone and it’s not a new account because the achievement are already collected don’t know what this means but shucks I guess.
