I enjoy the app. However, it crashes a lot. Example: I will click on the art, then hit the arrow twice to return to the list of comics. I'm met with a black screen. So I have to close the app and reopen it. That is time consuming.
Everything was going great until the last update the other day. Now I can't get the app to stay open. It crashes every single time I open the app. Get that figured and we'll have a five star app.
Having some issues with the app recently, got a new phone (lg k51) and the system doesn't seem to want to retrieve a new list. I can't see anything coming out next week (Aug 5th)
Trying to update Sundar or Monday sometimes gets the app to skip the week your currently on. Usually fixes itself overnight
This not a rating at present the ads want take over the screen / the page will blink and the ad try to pop to full screen
Could be nicer to look at but it's functional and thorough.
any plans to add absolute comics, to the list?
Yeah it stopped updating the list even when you use retrieve new list
I love the app. This week it will not update though. please some help. Thanks.
Won't load preview list at all.
Great app thanks for fixing
Was flawless, now not so much
App is Great, but latest update wiped out my Main List and my Preview List. It also won't allow me to add anything to my Main List or Preview List. Please fix.
It's best at what it does, but it's not perfect. Imo things that can be improved: 1)Design: It's looks a bit outdated, could use some newer icons from Google. (Maybe material design?) 2)Performance: It's not laggy, but I think all comics page impacts performance in a bad way. An option to disable it would be nice. Also sometimes when I scroll, my touches won't register. If you would like to see what I mean, shoot me an email and I'll send you a video. 3)Ability to subscribe to a series instead of manually picking the issues every week. There are few more things I would like you to consider but overall this is a very good app. Thanks!
My only comments are to Google on how it has to be now. The name will irk me for quite a while, and the icon is awful, but to the developers credit, will not be confused with anyone else's icons, or called out for infringement on image rights. I'm glad there was a quick turnaround and support on keeping this app up. GOOD JOB!!! Also, consider subscribing. $0.99/yr is beyond reasonable, and while I cannot imagine what such a pittance helps the developer, I'm willing to contribute.
What happened to Marvel Comics in June 13, 2018 preview list? And they aren't on publisher list either?
Will you be adding Vault Comics any time soon?
Its not working...:-( The new lists are not loading and if they do, they disappear the next time I open the app. I have tried seeing if my settings are off but that doesn't seem to be the problem
I use this app all the time to make sure I get my books in my pull list. But recently I have noticed that it does not add all the weeks together to give me a total of my complete list. It just gives totals for individual weeks.
I've used this app in the past and recently re-downloaded it. It's the best at what it does, and works well. The pull lists occasionally take a bit too long to update for my tastes, but overall it's a solid app.
Great app, but I can't seem to view any covers?
Works as it should, mostly. It would be nice if it could store more than one previous week's list. And when adding a comic to the list, it would be helpful if it could search something so you could add an actual comic instead of a set of words that got put together. Also, I sometimes lag behind a week or two with checking my list, so I have auto update unchecked. It still pulls the new lists. It hasn't caused a problem so far, but I hadn't completely checked the list from two weeks ago, so I might have lost something. I know that's my business, but the fact that unchecking auto-update doesn't work is a problem.
Does exactly what it needs to do. Great support from developer. If you have a weekly pull list and make shelf buys as well this app is for you.
It doesn't open, the red screen just sits there
Works great for showing what's out and upcoming. 2 issues, when viewing an item it will randomly jump back to the top of the list instead of where yo uh just were. 2nd is there needs to be a way to just show books instead of merchandise.
Only problem artwork doesn't download sometimes, but not that big of a deal for me. This app is essential if you buy comics every week.
I love the app, it's very helpful. The only issue I have is that when I select an issue to read the issue details and or view the cover, then back out to continue viewing other comics, the app crashes, and I have to start over. ( which can be annoying ) Still a super useful app. Also, I'd pay for the app if the ads were removed.
