Marvel Comics App Reviews

Don’t buy, you have to pay $5.00 for any comic book! They have a “free section that consists of c***** “samples” that have no substance! 0 I deleted this app immediately

So many comics cost money

Simple easy to use, as a collector I was thrown off at first but it’s a great way to keep your comics intact but read em as much as you like

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😠😭don’t waste money 💴

I love this app because in my area where I live there's limited places that actually sell comics, let alone the ones I'm actually interested in. Just that recently when I purchase a comic it only downloads about 60-70 MB and then it stops. The only way it will continue is if I close the app completly and reopen it. Otherwise I love it, but it'd be great if this was fixed.

What the frick? Ever heard of a library or comic shops? Please stop trying to cash grab on marvel film trademarks by only scanning in paper to digital.

The app is fantastic, but recently, on my iPhone 8 Plus, running the latest version of iOS 12, I have noticed that I am unable to download or read the books I purchase, please look in to this.

Spent $9 on Vol. 2 of immortal hulk only to find out I can’t read it. I’m using an iPhone 8 Plus and noticed other reviews describing my same issue. Looks like the app could be fun if it worked properly. If this doesn’t get an update I’m going over to marvel unlimited.

This app has a recent issue, it doesn’t allow you to make changes to your wishlist. You cant really remove comics from it. It continues to show the comics you removed. This also keeps you from adding new items to your wishlist. I think this should be changed in the next app update.

I really love the app. But if you accidentally close the app before you press ok. The comic you purchased could now be frozen. And you’ll have to delete the app, and then get the app again. Only then will you have the comic you purchased, but now you’ll have to download every comic you’ve previously bought, again. Thankfully, this has only happened once.

I like getting the digital copies of the comics I buy in print and reading them a second time on the app. My only recommendation for improvement would be to make a feature to redeem digital copies IN THE APP instead of having to go to the website to redeem the digital copies.

I got my account password wrong once and now I have to reset my password to get back in, so I did that but now I still have to reset my password.... seriously, I just want to read some comics why does it have to be so complicated

Love this app and will continue to use it for years to come!

Don’t bother signing up through gmail, it’s a waste of your time and money because this app can’t do that apparently

It won’t take my password anymore, when I go to retrieve it then it says my email doesn’t have an account, then when I try to “create” an account it says that email already has one because I do. And there’s no way to contact anybody for help.

I am willing to update my rating once I figure out how the h*** to close a book. I have tried all manner of swiping, tapping, and holding. I’ve even closed the app, reopened it and it was still in the book. How the h*** do close a book (without having to scroll all the way to the last page of the book. Surely that’s not the only way to close the book)?!?! I saw the smart control pop up and I STILL can’t figure out how to enable the smart controls. Might be a good app if it wasn’t so hard to control.

Love this app! But there are times where you start a series on app but can’t finish as the rest of the comics are not on app Recently looked up Nightstalkers and was disappointed to see only issue #1 is all you can get out of the series of 18 It’s not only title where you run into this problem Why just put 1 out of 18

I’m having a tough time scrolling thru my collection and I can’t even get thru the first dozen titles I have. How do I fix this issue on my iPad Air 2?

I love this app. I fought like an idiot against reading digital comics on my phone, this will never ever take the place of holding and smelling an actual comic but it’s waaaaay better than I expected. I bought an 80’s Fantastic Four trade spotlighting John Byrne and was blown away. First it shows the full page, swipe and it zooms in on a single panel and then swipe from panel to panel. The digital re-colors didn’t bother me at all, in fact the panels look awesome. Perfect for time killing, I’d much rather read an old FF than mindless scrolling on IG or FB or some news app. Prices are not too bad 1.99 for a single issue 14.99 for a ten issue trade. I’m a thousand percent stoked I gave this app a try!!!

I love that marvel gives you free didital downloads with every real paper comic you buy. Makes it easy to read anywhere especially in bed.

I love this app, I have purchased easily over 100 comics on this app but the recent update makes all of the series blocks smaller and sets it to default in your library for your new comics to show up first out of chronological order from issue #1 showing up first in your library. Please change this back. Thank you.

So I’m reading the DEAPOOL series 2008-2012 and I’ve noticed that they have been putting text boxes with tiny unreadable script inside them... as you zoom in on the script you can see that it’s jumbled words in the boxes. Makes me upset that I paid money for these comics and that parts of the story are unavailable in them due to this weird jumbly word nonsense. I wouldn’t recommend buying a bunch of comics prior to reading them. I bought 25. Without proof reading them first. THANKS DISNEY. 👎🏾

I try to logging but every time I logging it keeps saying you have a Wong account. please fix this bug so me and the others can login without having to worry about the bug problem.

I Love the app I have a more then 100 comics. It Would be nice if there was a search by character option like if I type Thanos it would pull up all the comics with Thanos in them. If you would add that feature it would be AMAZING!!!.

I’m a marvel fan and have a marvel account, but whenever i sign into my account, it says invalid. I even trued looking through all my passwords and i got it right. I will rate it five stars if you make an update about that. (Can you make it so you can sign into a google account)

Since latest app update, no new comics will download.

Comics won’t download anymore

So I’ve had this app for while now and it’s been working properly until now. When checking out a comic the price is flashing from loading to the amount it’s for. You purchase your comic (if you can) the comic isn’t downloading at all 😐. Not liking this.

I purchased a book yesterday that still has not downloaded. Please fix.

Comics are not downloading after the last app update. There is no info about work arounds in app help or on marvel.com.

App is extremely buggy to the point of nonfunctional. The only thing it excels at is charging me on time. Constantly having to delete it and redownload it to get it to work.

I bought 2 comics on Saturday and still downloading? 1 is 24 pages and the other is 84 pages. Today is Monday and still downloading

Must be a new “feature “

Crashes every time I try to open it

For a month or more I have not been able to see comics on my account. Even new comics I have purchased recently do not download.

Don’t get me wrong I love this app but recently all my purchased comics aren’t downloading and I want to read em. Please fix this. I also notice I’m not the only one with this problem maybe is a problem from the last update.

Really???? Why would you put the app up for free and then make the customer pay to get the comics?????? So listen unless you have money then don’t get the app

Please update app. My books won’t download anymore for the last couple weeks. Thought this was just a problem with my app but according to other reviews it’s happening to a lot of others too. Please fix!

Seems like since one of the latest updates, this app is not working on the IPad mini 2. Love the app when it works but it is not working at the moment. Please fix

Since the last update I cannot open any of the comics I have purchased. It will sit loading or go back to the books screen.

I never write reviews. I love my marvel app and collection. The one star is to draw their attention. Nerds have glasses and get new ones in their 40s. You need a setting that zooms to magnify text. Seriously help us

Been reading comics for years. Always had a great joy going to a comic book shop to pick up the latest comics that came out each week. But, as I’ve gotten older, married, and running a business, I haven’t had the time to collect and pick up comics the way I use to. This Marvel Comics app is the best thing that has happened for me. I was skeptical about it at first thinking it would not be the same experience. But in no time, i fell in love with this app. As someone who not only reads for the great stories, with the app you can zoom in closely on detailed artwork that you may not alway be able to see when reading physical comics. And best of all for me personally, the easy access to all my comics on my iPhone or iPad. Whether I’m at work and need a quick break or traveling. It’s simple and easy to access my comics.

App will not download previous purchases or new purchases.

I love this app. I like that you can read all these amazing books from old to new and I love that it can keep users to read move with so many books but one problem has made me a little confused. You see when I try to download a book now after I buy it it will not let me read it and I was wondering why is this problem coming up after 3 years of using it. Other then that this is such an amazing app that any marvel fan should use.

Love this app and would usually give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️rating but now no comics will download! Please fix it!

As much money Marvel makes, there shouldn’t be lingering issues like this app has. Once again, I can’t download any comics I buy.

I buy print and use the digital codes but then I can’t access the digital issues?? Can this be fixed please?? Like they will show up in “my books” tab but then they won’t download and are unable to read.

I’ve had the app for years, and it’s incredibly frustrating you can’t add comics in the app. The app has trouble connecting often, and will remove all comics except free ones. Also, marvel.com/redeem is CONSTANTLY down. These issues brought my score down two stars. Yesterday, I upgraded to the new 12.9” iPad Pro after weighing lots of different large tablet options. The ONLY reason I got this big of a screen was because I wanted to read comics at as close to the printed size as possible. Unfortunately, the entire app is letterboxed on all four sides! The black bars are nearly the thickness of the bezels, and occurs in portrait and landscape in both reading mode and on the main menu. PLUS, the giant white iOS bar at the bottom doesn’t go away while reading! I really want to give this app 5 stars. Please fix these issues! The first two have been constants since I downloaded the app a couple years ago, so I’m not holding my breath. This newest issue though is infuriating!

They make the comics look like they are free but they are charging money!!! To get the comics not really worth it.

I used to love this app. Recently it won’t let download print / digital editions or read previously purchases.

I use this app all the time. However in the last month I can not download any comics to my phone or IPad. Please Fix

I’ve been using this for a while and loved it, but recently it’s not letting me download any of my new comics or redownload my old ones. I have plenty of storage so I don’t know what to do if this got fixed somehow 5 stars for sure.

Nothing is downloading. The purchase goes through, but zilch downloads

The fact that I have to redeem digital versions on the website before I can view them in the app is the most pointless and ridiculous extra step ever required. Whoever it was that was so unimaginative as to think that this was the way to go should be terminated.

What idiots are designing these Comixology apps? Do they even read comic books? Even after updates mean to address comics not fitting the entire screen on new iPads, comics still don’t fit the entire screen on new iPads. There is a black bar at the bottom of the screen. I didn’t buy an 1k iPad to not take advantage of the entirety of the screen.

Won’t let me download any of the comics that I already purchased. Have hundreds of comics, can’t open one of them

When i first got this app it was awesome I was always reading comics! But then when I decided to put in my own it just broke now I can’t read any new ones I get on there and I can’t read the digital version of ones i own. Also it’s not my internet so please just fix that problem and I’ll bring my rating back up to five stars

Since the latest update, I can't download any comics which makes it pretty useless. Only have this issue on the Marvel app. Will need to look into a refund on these unreadable comics.

I purchased two digital comics and it was very frustrating to try to read them on my iPad. The app crashed, wouldn’t turn pages, and it was extremely difficult to open the comics at all! I eventually gave up and read them on my desktop. Shame on you Marvel. This should be as easy as iBooks. I will not be purchasing any more digital comics.

The app is easy to use and I am glad it has in app purchases. The only downside is it doesn’t have the max imprints.

Really enjoy this app and having my marvel comic collection digitally enables me to read just about anywhere. The app has lots of nice options for viewing the comics. I really like how it can zoom into the section of the page to enable easy reading. Having the digital store also allows me to read some past/present comics I would not normally buy in a paper copy. I also find it useful for tracking what I have or have not read. It is also great for jumping to another issue to get a quick refresher on a back story. My collection is easily approaching 500 comics digitally and I am noticing greater lag time to view your collection. Also, there is no redeem feature built into the app for redeeming your digital copy of your physical comic. Lastly, a few of the older comics are not as crisp or clean digital transfers with some art and text a little fuzzy or difficult to read. Overall, highly recommend for comic fans young and old.

This is a rip off you can get unlimited comic from another app for $9.99 way less then this junk.

It never fails to crash when I hit view all no matter the list!

I live this app but why does it continuously crashes ever time I press the “See All” tab?? This app does it as well as the DC Comic app. same apps and crashes while doing the Same thing. Please fix it ..

I’m 13 years old and I love comics but the thing is that I can’t buy anything. But even the free comics are good so it’s a win win!🤓😁🍕

This will launch adds in your YouTube and other videos before they start. Total BS. The greed is never enough. It overrides your pop up blockers. Super sneaky app. Completely uninstalled.

Anti American. Will never support Marvel or Black Panthers. This is SICK!

Either there’s no search function, or someone tried REALLY HARD to hide the search function. Either way, what were you thinking?

I’ve had this app for years. My paper collection was building and taking up a lot of space so I thought it would be a good idea to go digital. BAD IDEA! Regrettably, I have well over 800 comics on this app. The app crashes and I’ve repeatedly lost access to my library. On multiple occasions my library size has suddenly shrunk to a fraction of what what it truly is which leaves me to jump through a series of hoops to regain access. The new update has you going through a series of interactive security checks to ensure that you aren’t a “robot.” This is ridiculous to have to go through for a member. This isn’t Fort Knox! I am a huge Marvel fan across all spectrums. However, if I had it to do over again I would have stuck with paper comics.

When the app is working it is great. The organization is nice and has helped me keep track of my comics very well. The two main issues I have is there is no way to redeem digital codes through the app so you have to constantly go back and forth to the website and also that it constantly logs you out. This wouldn’t be a very big problem if it weren’t for the fact that you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get logged back in. Why do I have to solve 5 captchas to sign in?

I love the app, but they randomly got rid of the wishlist system which 1: make the smart list system completely useless 2: deletes every single comic you’ve wish-listed, and I had close to a hundred comics that I wish listed Please bring it back, PLEASE!

In latest version, the books filter limits All to 50. I have hundreds of books, so now I can’t access them. Very wrong filter. Needs to be fixed.

Worked fine until latest version; logs me out each time I relaunch the app.

LOVE IT👍🏻

The currently few updates have me signing into the application every day. Please fix this immediately.

This app is unusable. Doesn't open comics or if it does it crashes incessantly which is a shame for such a large company. Please fix it and I'll update this review. I want to like it. Until it's fixed I have to warn people away. This app DOES NOT WORK. Save your money and time.

I’ve been trying to log into my account with little success. The app doesn’t accept the use of password managers or the password I changed it to. Also update your password policies their a joke

Update doesn’t work, app keeps logging me out and the I’m not a robot system you guys use is horrible. Honestly the whole experience is so aggressively unfriendly that it makes me want to give up on it.

The currently few updates have me signing into the application every day.

The app constantly logs me out on its own and tells me that I have no comics downloaded. I have to go through more c*** to log back in than I do for my bank’s app! It took me through 5 screens of pictures to verify that I’m not a robot. Who cares if I am! Hey Marvel/Disney, you’re not the government (accessing my my license branch info is easier than logging back in to this app)!!!

This is a great app but the newest update has made it unusable. You need a new login (I previously used my Amazon login) and the captcha is ridiculously long. It makes you do the picture selection thing like four times every login and you have to log in new every time. Combine that with the re-tries when you can’t remember your new login info and it made me give up on trying to use it.

3.11.4 update: Still getting logged out despite it being listed as fixed in this version. Hey Marvel if you're listening...please hire some app developers that are smart enough to test their releases before deploying. I think you'll find sales are more consistent when you do.

Still getting logged out. I recommend using the official Comixology app instead. You can’t buy issues thru it (you have to use their website) but at least it works

I PAID FOR MY BOOKS. What happened to the Comixology login? What the h*** is this Marvel Insider garbage? And why the reCAPTCHA nonsense? Fix the app so the Comixology login is back in place. I'm not signing up for another account just to access what I PAID FOR ALREADY

Short and simple awesome app

I use this app everyday and the prices are amazing. Get it now you fools!

It's a great app. I love reading while I'm out and about or waiting in a lobby or car wash. It's super convenient. Nuff said!

IM LOVING IT

I love Marvel comics. It's the best comic book ever.

The Guided view is essential for enjoying on a small sized screen. Well done The search feature for the store isn't great.

No idea why they switched from Comixology but the newest update fixed the egregious captcha problem

I can read all my comics and keep inventory of what comics I have and which ones I need!

It's really helpful and I finally know what's happening in the marvel universe!

I'm having trouble with this app it can't find my email and won't accept my password

This is so good to read comics without having to carry them around!!

It is wonderful to have many of my comics available to read on my phone.

This marvel app is great. Fantastic to read comics on. Highly recommended!

I love it!!! Free comics all the time

Make it so you can login through Facebook

It's a great app, though I wish there was a way to redeem digital codes in it.

The app is great and keeps getting better, I'm glad they've got the classics being added, it's the future of comics, who has the space for the physical books, plus they've gotten so expensive, the app solves both problems!

Awesome app, easy to use and have your entire library at your fingertips.

Considering I apparently can't create an account and the customer service is garbage could you please add a Facebook log in on the app. It's on the website, but not the app... ok.

This app has every Marvel comic I would ever want to read.

A good app. Many good stories have I read from this app.

It's practically perfect. Every Wednesday I'm on this app before and after work with instant access to the latest comics.

I don't live close enough to any comic book shops, but I love Marvel. This app & Marvel Unlimited are how I get all of my comics. I don't know how Marvel counts digital sales. I want my favorite characters & story lines to do well. This is the easiest way for me to support my comics. I buy story lines I care about & rent every thing else (via Marvel Unlimited). While I'm here someone tell Marvel they need to bring Emma Frost back as a main character.

It's been super fun and easy to use.

I love good stories and good art. Marvel gives me both.

Bad

The security was so excessive and glitchy just setting up an account was a headache. The keyboard kept retracting for no apparent reason. Once I got in, the prices for digital copies of classic titles seemed excessive to me, so I deleted the app of my tablet, without reading a single title.

The Comixology-based app was great but now it logs me out almost every time I open it and you have to go through a ridiculous number of Captcha screens to log in. So frustrating that I usually just give up and use the official Comixology app

DO NOT INSTALL!!!! The reCAPTCHA does not work and spins endlessly. Why there is a reCAPTCHA is beyond me... Upgraded and not app does not work and won't let me log in.

Last update forces login with annoying reCAPTCHA images every single use now. I will stop purchasing new comics until this gets fixed.

Keep getting kicked out and having to log in with annoying captcha.

This app was all time favorite of mine but lately It keeps signing me out again and again and again. I cannot even re-sign in bc of gods knows what.

This app has logged me out at least once a day for the past week or so. It’s ridiculous. When I attempt to log back in, after an obnoxiously long CAPTCHA mind you, sometimes it still won’t log me in. Fix this please!!

Worked fine until latest version; logs me out each time I relaunch the app, and I have to keep spending a few minutes going through login/captcha just to read my books.

Love this app but have to give it one star (for now) as the iPad Pro 2018 (11 inches) isn’t supported (unlike the recently updated ComiXology, DC and Image apps). Will update the rating in case this changes.

This app does not work with username and password, it still makes me change the password every time. Poor activate happened

Really nothing about Stan on front page after two days? Really?

I don’t know how i am supposed to use this app i press the read button but it doesn’t work

Best way to do comics for me, get them asap have them forever weather proof etc

I’m really tired of typing in all of my digital codes in on a web browser from my physical comics. The website once in a while doesn’t load right and then makes your code “already used” and won’t give you the comic. Why is there no option in this app that lets you type in the code? Why does it have to be on a website? There should even be a reader that scans the code automatically by your camera.

There's an issue with my copy of daredevil Vol 1. Other than that I've never had problems.

It's great if you want to buy books in the app. It's terrible otherwise. Redeeming codes is near impossible!!!! They never work, and when they do they are for the wrong book. On top of that it takes forever to get a response from Marvel and when they do they give you the wrong code.

Works perfect for me. Easy to always get the latest comics

Make Mine Marvel! Always and Forever a true believer!!!

This application is one of the main reasons I still read Marvel Comics. The interface is great and I always have something to read while I'm on the go. The ability to redeem codes that you get in other comics that you purchase is invaluable. Are use this app very often and I highly recommend it for anybody who is a fan of comics.

Just love it. I'm only disappointed that buying the real copies no longer confers a digital copy of the same comic. They changed that policy a while ago, providing digital comics from other series instead.

Marvels lets u sign up using FB then demands a password to use app but can’t using FB??? So marvel purgatory i guess?

Why do we need to pay for the books that’s just stupid

I always have to sign in. Passwords and user ID never get stored. Can’t see let alone buy the new comics for some reason some weeks like this one. Send feedback doesn’t allow you to send because the button is covered by the keyboard which there doesn’t seem to be a way to move to click the it. Pain in the rear all around, not intuitive, directs user to books they aren’t looking for.

Thank u for making this app

Overall I like the app. However this version freezes every so often on iPad Air 2. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

I just bought venom issue 3 and the purchase said it was successful so where they f*ck is my comic??? It’s saying that I have to buy it and I just bought it. But nvm found a fix I had to delete the app and reinstall. Y’all need to fix something

Does not fit on new iPads. Page turning, like all Comixology apps is awful. Library management is a joke. And they want $4 a comic for this garbage. Fix these apps already Amazon. The point of digital is to be better than physical. Stop being lazy just because you hold a monopoly. Don’t waste money collecting comics in these Comixology apps, the experience isn’t worth the high cost. It’s easier to just pirate the comics for free and use third party apps designed by comic book enthusiasts that are aware of what the readers actually want.

Beautiful app, I use it almost everyday. It just needs to be optimized for the new 11 inch iPad Pro. It’s shame that this app is not while the DC comics app and DC universe app are...

I am so incredibly tired of the app crashing and signing me out. Anytime I try to read comics on the app, I am forced to fight the log in interface and redownload all my comics. After all the time and money I’ve committed to Marvel comics, I am so very hurt and disappointed that Marvel cannot manage to make their digital comic app work.

App makes you sign in to marvel insider multiple times a week. Also whenever I make a purchase it tell me I already purchased comic and it will be downloaded for free.

This app is just embarrassing. They fixed it so you can finally log in, but now it’s back to making you sit thru 4-5 captcha tests

All I wanted to do was read some marvel comics but I found out that about 90% of these comics you need to buy to read. Don’t choose this because it is money hungry.

Every time the app restarts I have to log in again. Again.

Had this app for years, this s***** thing asked me to change my password, so I did and my Comics DISAPPEARED! I’ve emailed the help desk 3 times in a week and still NOTHING!!! All that money down the drain!

app crashed in the midst of a book purchase now the purchase button is grayed out and won’t let me purchase. and what’s up with the alert option? i never get an alert for anything, what’s the point? still great app tho.

I was going to read a comic and it token 5 minutes just to read 1 comic

This is what could be considered a “knock off” of marvel unlimited but a much better one. It takes the funds out of your apple account rather than your bank account

I like the way it follows the story in the comic when going to each section. Also nice to have an option to see full page or closeup on each section.

I just started reading comics a few weeks ago and I made my way to Cataclysm. I digitally collected the series but it wasn’t until about 9 issues in when I realized the comics are not presented in reading order. There’s no current way to change this, I just have to scroll through the whole collection to find the right comic.

Every time I close the app it logs me out of my account. Please fix the bug.

I have had this app for a while, maybe for about a few years, and there is still always something wrong with the app. It’s nothing major, just little occurrences that are really annoying. For example, each time I click “see all” for the new comics on sale for the week, the app always crashes. The app has crashed a few times just trying to sign into my account. Other than that, it’s not a bad app. On another note, I wish that the app would allow you to see what new comics are coming out next week, not just the week that you are in.

App constantly crashes. It crashes so much it’s not even usable. I mean the app doesn’t last more than 10-15 seconds. Hard to use an app that can’t even remain open. I wish I could rate 0/5 because that’s all this comic reader currently deserves
