- [R3] Comic Geeks 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
- [R7] Comic Geeks Doesn’t display all comics anymore: App use to list all upcoming comics for that week, app now only displays what is on my pull list and I have to use their website to see everything releasing that week.
- [R9] Comic Geeks 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
- [R64] WEBTOON Used to be good: Downloaded webtoons when it was still relatively new, and back then it was really awesome for reading some good stories. Then they decided to add the coin system and I was like “ok even they need to make some money so understandable” but now there’s unskippable ads that pop up for chapter and tons that pop up for stories that cost only coins. Used to be great but now just feels gr
- [R12] Comic Geeks Great group and Great app!: App is confusing to use and bit glitchy. Should come with instructions.
- [R33] Comic Geeks Very wonky: Not a well designed app. Very annoying to use. Menus are not intuitive, layout is poor.
- [R51] Comic Geeks Really want to like, BUT: So buggy. Can’t add comics. Can’t do much but watch the doomwheel. Have tried to delete and re-add twice. Still not working. Pity.
- [R67] WEBTOON UI and Updates: First, for older series if we paid the fast pass to be able to read those chapters they should not be locked behind a daily pass. Second, whoever created this new User Interface, needs to be fired. The app constantly glitches even if I’m not touching the screen. I just want to be able to select the Webtoon I want. Not have Top Picks for You glitch in and out and in and out to whe
- [R13] Comic Geeks 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
- [R93] WEBTOON Great content, janky app: Content is great; 5 stars. The app itself has been janky since it introduced ads/announcements. And not necessarily ads for external products, ads for webtoons. I can’t close the ad and the app freezes. Or I can’t close the ad and the app crashes. Every time I open the app, it either crashes or I have to close and re-launch multiple times. There has been no exception for
- [R1] Comic Geeks 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.
- [R19] Comic Geeks Nope: Constant password games. The eye to see the hidden password doesn’t work. I haven’t even opened it and im fed up with it. How can my email both be already used then invalid?What a waste of my time. Thanks.
- [R22] Comic Geeks 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”.
- [R27] Comic Geeks 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.
- [R47] Comic Geeks Don’t you dare speak out against comic writers: If you share an opinion or speak out against DC and Marvel you will be banned faster than you can say “Free speech doesn’t exist here.” The community forum is NOT a safe place to discuss problems with the comic industry or current writers. The owners of this app are spineless shills and will not tolerate anyone going against the norm. I had to create
- [R61] WEBTOON WEBTOON WTF: I just got back from taking a break off Webtoon for a while because I couldn’t get it back for some time, and I come back to all of my coins being taken away?! I had 130+ coins left from a while ago that I hadn’t used yet, and I came back to 0 in my account. what the actual heck Webtoon, good job making me take another long break. This upset me so much, I didn’t even know you guys did
