I love guided view! It makes reading on a small screen doable! The only downside is that since apple changed its policy you cant buy in app, a small inconvenience for a wonderful app!

I really didnt have a solid idea of how much I was spending in the app. Now that in-app purchases are gone, Im actually saving a ton of money by not purchasing digital comics. Sweet!
Love this app.
It would be nice if comiXology soon released a new version where two pages of the comic could be seen side by side in landscape mode, just like a real comic book. This would be the ideal reading experience on the iPad Pro 12.9" sceen. Also the buttons are rather large on the 12.9" iPad Pro. Hope someone from comiXology is reading these reviews. If so, cheers for a great app!
Ive used comixology for five years now and they did a great job with this years update! If your looking for comic reviews, check out my Instagram delightful comics and blog!
As a Mac user who Travels quite a bit- I wish they offered an app for PC’s/ and Mac’s. This works fantastic on my phone, imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult to bring the online reader experience over to my other iOS device.
I hate giving one star ratings, but CMX has had plenty of time to get their crap together, and they still have not done it. Yes, the reading experience is a joy, and its nice to be able to buy all your comics from one place when the service actually works. However, and this part isnt just an Apple thing, I routinely have problems with their apps across every platform. The Apple app is not importing recent purchases anymore for some odd reason. The Amazon app will only occasionally open in spite of the fact that virtually every other app on fire tablets works fine. Even the online website will show no record of purchases that you have just made.
I like the navigation options within the comics but dislike not being able to easily purchase comics within the app or find my comics easily. Using the website with a mobile device is not the easiest experience.
I dont know if its the servers or the app, but since the major redesign with the smart lists, etc, I have been unable to reliably download comics with this app. They will download a couple megabytes and hang. The best way to download a comic is to start reading it, because it will try to download the next page while you are reading one. Of course, it will hang, but when you go to turn the page, you can simply wait a minute or so and it will finally time out and try again! At that point there is about a 70% chance that it will complete the next page instead of timing out again. This is great at making your comics feel worth the money because each issue takes about 15 to 30 minutes of overhead, waiting for it to load time.
No in app purchases. Bringing down comic industry.
I love this app. Comixology always has a sale going on for great comics. I buy more comics than I can read. Its great for your phone or iPad/tablet.
I have not logged into this app in several months. Wanted to look at my Walking Dead collection. It is all gone and I cannot find a way to restore them. I want my money back!! Update: I guess you have to install the old app and then link your accounts. That seems to have got my purchases back.
It doesnt even load and when it does, it takes 24 hours to download the shortest of comic books no matter how fast your connection is! HORRIBLE!
So this is an Amazon app right? I see all these reviews about how in app purchases were taken away because of the App Store but why cant I just buy my comics through the Amazon store then? I see no real reason for this app not to have an in App Store.
Interface is a little tired, could really use an update. I would love if they would add in support for the higher resolution iPad Pro. I still resent having to jump through hoops to buy stuff because there is no in-app purchasing (and no, I clearly won’t get over it, I’ve held the grudge since they took it away from us).
I dont know how to download books. Do I buy them? Its probably a stupid question. Im just looking for somewhere to get free comics. If you do know any other free comic webpage please help. Thanks
