  1. [R3] Comic Geeks 3/5 · US Has potential: The idea of this app is perfect, I just feel like the execution is lack luster. More than 3 weeks in a row it’s not had accurate info about what comics are releasing that week. I really want to love this app and use it more, but it’s frustrating when I count on it to show me what’s coming out. I am in no way trying to hate or be negative, I just think it either needs a little simpli
  2. [R8] Comic Geeks 5/5 · US W: Great app I love keeping track of my reads and seeing when new comics come out
  3. [R9] Comic Geeks 3/5 · US Loved it until now: Yeah so the release dates are all wrong. I take screenshots and ask for issues that haven’t even came out yet and have even missed issues that already came out BC the app tells me bullshiii so please update this and be more accurate on what comes out when
  4. [R11] Comic Geeks 5/5 · US Best app for your comics!: I’ve always read comics on and off but it’s always scary jumping back in with all the events and current runs going on. This app has everything organized so perfectly that it makes read so much fun. Reading comics is now a hobby I look forward to every day. Keep up the great work devs.
  5. [R10] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Used to be great: This app is terrible now. I don’t know what happened but instead of a nice grid view of all the comics there’s a tiny list now with tiny thumbnail. I hate this so much. I used to be able to click on a book and then scroll through all the different options for variants. Now I get a white screen that locks the entire app. I’ll be uninstalling and going back to the website from now
  6. [R12] Comic Geeks 3/5 · US Great group and Great app!: App is confusing to use and bit glitchy. Should come with instructions.
  7. [R13] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Update crashes: The updated app crashes when you attempt to look at an issues cover or multiple covers. Screen grays out and won’t close. Forces to hard stop the app. It does it every time since the update. Was a great app prior to the update
  8. [R1] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Racist mods: Had a review taken down calling out the racial stereotypes present in a new title. Which is nothing new in comics. Dont call out racism or you might offend someones yt fragility.
  9. [R5] Comic Geeks 4/5 · US Racist mods: Watch yourself and minors on the social discourse. The racism and homophobia and transphobia is reaching new heights. Stick to pull tracking and upcoming comics. The pub solicits are great, too. The anti-white comments hang the longest and the dev is pretty lax about it. I assume if they have time to comment when people criticize the app and desktop versions; they can see reported com
  10. [R6] Comic Geeks 3/5 · US Great App, Trecherous Community.: Its expected out of any social media app though.
  11. [R14] Comic Geeks 5/5 · US Organization and the pulse of comic books!: It’s excellent for organization and for features such as statistics, reviews, community, and history! It is a must for any comic book enthusiast!
  12. [R46] Comic Geeks 5/5 · US Free, Fun and easy to use!!: Amazing app that is totally user-friendly and builds on a very good community within the best part is all the really cool stats it keeps for you on artists writers even comic characters really fun I use it all the time. Highly recommend it.
  13. [R62] 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.
  14. [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
  15. [R65] 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!
  16. [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!
  17. [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?
  18. [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) !!!!
  19. [R37] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Misinformation, Censorship, and Toxic Community: I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use this app. The app doesn’t give you accurate values for 90% of the comics, so if you want this to track the worth of your collection, good luck. This app constantly spreads misinformation about solicits for comics, and will often say that a different writer or artist is working on a specific issue, but a week or so
  20. [R43] Comic Geeks 2/5 · US Condition/grading: Lots of other apps let you had a cgc grading or raw condition when adding books your collection along with how much you paid for it so then it gives you back a certain estimated value on it. Would be a much better rating if the app had this
  21. [R56] Comic Geeks 5/5 · US My Favorite Comic Collection App: This is probably the best app that I have found that allows you to catalog the books you own with really no limit. It’s a great looking app and runs well. Very organized. There are a few things I would add or tweak though. I like that this app shows you the estimated value of your collection. It seems to take an average and value your Raw books but I wish it would
  22. [R22] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Shadow Banned: No longer able to write a review or in discussions ever since I stated a writer isn’t free from criticism based on their identity. Never given a warning or even notified of this. Comment was removed and haven’t been able to make a new one sense. Weirdly and quietly agenda pushing for an app supposedly about spreading comic information and “positivity”.
  23. [R27] Comic Geeks 1/5 · US Disgusting people: This app doesn’t allow you to speak your mind against anything. People on here basically support disgusting behavior and anything that anyone says that goes against a transgenders views, they’ll practically take down your post because they deem it as disrespectful. The moderators on this app should be ashamed of themselves, truly.
  24. [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.
  25. [R94] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · US BEWARE it’s Scam: If you’re reading this don’t buy this scammy app, 2 times has this app has scammed me, which I’m reluctant to admit. They advertise for a free trial, then they take your money bc there’s no free trial, then when you complain nothing happens. Now this happened about 4 or 5 years and I forgot(UNFORTUNATELY)then the other day I came across the app again, I thought it’s free, I’ll tr
  26. [R119] Marvel Unlimited 1/5 · GB Took my money: Was meant to be a free trial but took my money immediately
