Dark Horse Comics App Reviews

Bought some great books at a great deal...to bad the app crashes when I try and read them.

This runs fine on my iPad mini 4, but is essentially broken on my iPhone X. It’s a fine app if they’d update it to run on newer devices. Would be four or five stars if they did.

It seems to have broken the connection to Dark Horse. I am unable to sync (sync failed. Server not responding, and after logging off I am not able to login (Server not responding error try again later) Several of my recent purchases are not even linked to any reader. This needs to be fixed please

Ever since the update, I can't access the app. It repeatedly crashes or says it can't access the server.

I love the app. 😺😺😺😺

App crashes upon attempting to open. I've not even used it. I just attempt to open it, 10 crashes now. Deleting it from my iPad.

It's a great app. Just purchased a few different comics and it's working fine. It gives you samples of the comics and everything and the comics are a bit cheaper than Marvel and D.C. Great app guys see for yourself.

PLEASE UPDATE. The interface feels a lil dated and needs an update very much. I love dark horse. But the app just isn’t a great experience.

Can't access the store or search menus

I can't rate above a 1 star. I had to change my password and now I can't reach the server.....ever. Definitely not a few minutes later!

Ignore the nay-sayers. This app works just fine. MY fault not Dark Horse's... I hadn't updated my app for a while so initially it didn't work, but that's MY fault not Dark Horse's. I deleted the app and re-downloaded and works great. Also, even if there is a connection issue it's no reason to blast the developers. Technologies hiccup and have issues. As long as they're fixed. No reason to blast the app.

I want full screen plz...

Purchased my first graphic novel from Dark Horse website. Downloaded the app and it is unable to download the purchase despite multiple tries. Would download 1/4 of the novel and then restart.

Used to be a good app. Now all it does is crash on startup. It’s been over a year from last update. Developer said some day they will update with a new version. But this one seems like be abandoned until then. No timeframe for the new version is given. Don’t even bother with this app. Even if they do update who is to say they won’t do the same thing again.

Still love the app and having my collection available whenever and wherever I want it! I do love my printed comics, but I'm a big fan of technology! The app carries my bookshelf but still lets me browse and purchase in app. Despite all the negative reviews I've seen, The app still works for me just fine!!

Open app, then it closes. Open app then it closes. Hard to purchase comic if it won't stay open longer than a few seconds.

The app says it has trouble accessing the servers which prevents me from accessing the comics I've purchased and would like to read.

Can't access latest Buffy release. FIX PLEASE

I hate this app.

I haven’t had a problem buying comics but omg it’s impossible to read them. Buggy af. Honestly? I’d just read them in a web browser or something. Cause it’s really just awful.

The app is randomly unstable. Some days it works ok, but most days it crashes repeatedly. Open, wait, crash. Open. Do anything. Crash. Open, crash. I want a refund on all my content to go read it in other, more stable apps.

~Best app ever. No problems. I am surprised 😮. Wow. 🤯💯 10/10

This app does nothing but crash. My phone’s only a few months old and has an awful lot of excess memory. And most apps I use run fine. So it’s not likely the phone is the problem. Please fiz it!

I want to like this app, as I am a new fan to Dark Horse comics, but it won't let me create an account. Please fix!

I got this app about four years and 1 phone ago and it worked perfectly fine until one of the recent patches that pretty much destroyed any semblance of functionality. I used to be able to access my library of books quickly and easily and I would read for lengthy periods of time in a given sitting. Now, I’m lucky if the app even opens on the third try and blessed if I can get into my library and actually get into one of my books. Not sure how this is supposed to be the optimal way to read comics but it certainly feels like a waste of data to have a non-functioning app on my phone. That said, I am holding out hope that a future patch implements the proper changes needed to address this very severe, crippling problem. I have faith given that it was once a great app to read and purchase comics.

Been using this app for years and love it. But, ever since iOS 12 was released this app freezes, crashes, and is generally slow. Can’t submit app support request because it freezes. Please update this app!

I had the app a total of twenty minutes. It froze four times and when I could flip a page it loaded half off screen and though I could pinch to reorient the page, I was then trapped on that page or the one before it. There is no way I am going to spend money on this app if I can’t even finish reading the second page of a free comic. Deleted.

Ever since the new update I can't access the menu or search tab. Please fix.

Stability issues galore, even after rebooting. I'm not crazy about the new format, but I'll get used to it. The stability issues NEED to be fixed. Far too many crashes.

Used to be awesome. Now it won't stay open for more than 10 seconds before it crashes.

Some years ago the only way to access purchases was by phoning D.H. & getting them manually added- but then it got better w/ app updates. Now with v2.0 we're back to square one! I used to never sign out, which is a bad policy nowdays; after logging off I found I hadn't kept a record of my PW. When I initiate the "new PW" link, I get no further as I keep getting the page that tells me there's "a problem communicating w/ the server" and to "try again in a few minutes". I don't believe it will ever work. I will have to go the same old route: phone the company, describe the problem, and eventually get an email that will help walk me thru getting a new PW so I can access my library of books. It seems to me my problem is a very common one which should have cropped up very early during beta (or alpha!)-testing of this app's major new 2.0 update. Companies should not use their customers as unpaid bug reporters: 1 Star (= 0%) for this update!

It's not letting me access issue #4 of call of duty zombies

I love Dark Horse Comics, but this app lags, crashes and more often than not doesn’t correctly update weekly new releases. It needs some serious fumigation to get rid of all its bugs.

I’ve purchased lots of comics in the past but the app no longer works. Issues I’ve purchased don’t show in the app, the wrong books show on the bookshelf, books won’t load. Lost lots of $$ and feel ripped off by Dark Horse.

The app is terrible. Freezes and crashes constantly. Works long enough to make a purchase and that’s about it. Looking forward to the day Dark Horse is gobbled up by that web site named after a river. Two stars, because on the rare occasion that it works, it does the job.

The app works very well. It’s exactly what I would expect from a literature app. Dark Horse Comics does great work. I did have an issue where a purchase didn’t appear on my “bookshelf” but I reached out to their customer service and they resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend them to a friend!

I’m a huge fan of DH comics. I invested money on comic and anime novels on this app and I’m unable to read them due to your mishaps. PLEASE FIX the bugs....so be it.

This app needs a serious update with bug fixes, there are issues that will absolutely not show up no matter how many times you restore purchases or reset the caches

I haven’t had any problems with the purchasing side of the app. It’s the reading part that doesn’t work well. Pinch and zoom, and panning across the pages, often doesn’t work. By doesn’t work, I mean that pages become frozen and don’t respond to any touch of the screen. A little furious tapping fixes it, but the problem will likely crop up again within seconds. That’s the most basic iOS functionality, and it doesn’t work reliably in this app.

This app has stuff going for it, it’s mediocre. But, hold down on a comic book in the menu and it loads up the summery. The loading comments are the absolute funniest! I laugh every time, and there’s a bunch of different ones too. Too funny. 😆

This app does not even launch anymore, and its a shame. I have spent tons on comics through this app and now it won’t even open. Please fix this app!

First I want to say that a big fan of many Dark Horse titles and a love the idea of owning digital copies of the comics I love. But this app is embarrassing. It doesn’t even launch for me anymore. I’ve reinstalled it on more than one occasion and I’m sick of this. It doesn’t work. Fix it. Whoever you outsourced this to, whomever you have developing this in house, pay attention to the reviews here. They don’t lie. This is indicative of your customer’s experience and it’s not good.

I can’t do anything on this app. I have bought stuff, they don’t show up. I have signed in, can’t sign in anymore. I try to download new releases, it says Retry. I am so frustrated with this app.

12/21/17 STILL no bookmarking? COME ON, DH. How is this not the first feature of any e-reading app? Esp one where your library can get substantial, quickly?! The lack of organization is seriously frustrating. Another thing that is a huge problem: the app doesn't let you know if you're about to buy an issue that you have already purchased - for instance in a bundle or library edition. Original review: App has been stable (for me) and the selection is good, the comics look great...but there's a lot of functionality missing, and some of it is pretty basic stuff. For instance, it doesn't keep track of your place, so if you leave the app and come back, you have to go to your bookshelf, find the comic you were reading, select it again, etc. That's just weak. There's no bookmark feature, which is badly needed. Some ability to organize your bookshelf would also be nice. Also there's no organization to the index of series, which makes browsing for new finds difficult. You either have to know what you're looking for and search for it, or scroll through a kabillion titles in alphabetical order only, even within a genre search. A "more like this" feature would be nice. Please update, already!

The updates completely destroy your ability to sort by title. The wrong series appears in the wrong category header. I can download books for free, and a different book arrives on my shelf. Why have I ever spend money on this.

App asks for my Apple ID even though I bought in Dark Horse online store. So there are man purchases I cannot access. Other comic Apps are better. Dark Horse has not been helpful.

If you've used Comixology, you will be disappointed in this app. Huge issues with downloading new comics and organization stinks. unfortunately, readers are forced to use this. Boo.

I paid for a comic through this app takes my money then I keep getting an error message saying it can’t communicate with server so now I’m out money and the app refuses to download my comic. Fix this!!!!
