Pros: -seems like almost all the comics from IDW as well as the reprints from Mirage are available.(still no Bodycount mini series :\ ) -1 click purchasing available -intuitive touch controls (tap left or right edges to go back or forward [depending on orientation], tap center for scaling, etc) Cons: -some items you want to buy say 'Waiting' , with no explanation as to what that means or when it will be available -when first hitting 'Read' on some books you own it will flash 'Update Available', clicking it will start a download that doesn't complete or if it does, it will prompt the same update dialogue -some books seem to have duplicate pages -the store pages aren't easy to navigate. When you are first looking in the store you can see all the categories, but the only way to access it again is random ones shown at the bottom of the page for a book you are looking at. The only way to see the categories is to hit back until you are on the very first store page -related to the store issue above, the search feature is only on the very first store page. That is inconvenient and a bad design decision Overview: -Comic reading is well done in the app -Large selection of books from both IDW and the reprints of Mirage -store has some functionality issues that make the user experience lacking (may be better to buy on the desktop site and read it on the app) -the books always trying to update is frustrating

Pros: The discounts for reading the comics digitally are amazing. I don’t read any other digital comics, so using this app vs the IDW or ComiXology app is nice. Cons: Since the app removed the guided reading feature, it is far less enjoyable to use. It seems to log me out often. To search for comics is annoying and convoluted. Thoughts: I imagine they don’t make enough money from the app to have a highly paid development team. I follow IDWs main turtle series, but haven’t been invested enough to subscribe, so regardless of how I read them, digital is cheap and convenient. I also wanted to read some Archie and Tales of the TMNT, but not enough to buy at full retail and I care too much to illegally download because I want to support them publishing these.

I've been using this app for 2 years and I absolutely love it. Once a new issue comes out I can download it. I did have an issue with downloading and I would constantly try to download a new issue. Sometimes it would take 3-4 days just to download a issue. I would get so frustrated. After the update I haven't had problems so that's a plus. The only problem I have with the update is the guided reading feature has been removed and that was the best feature for this app. I have to constantly zoom in and out. It's a bit annoying. Please bring the guided reading back and this app will be 5 stars.
