Marvel Unlimited - 17,000 Comics including Spider-Man, Deadpool, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Doctor Strange, Hulk, Daredevil, Captain Marvel, Luke Cage and More

Marvel Unlimited itself is a fantastic service but this app is just a disaster. The GUI is sharp and search works well, but maintaining a reading list is cumbersome due to a combination of bugs in the My Library feature (titles are duplicated, wrong books are added) and some non-intuitive design choices (can't add or track a series, app does not remember where you left off). There are some technical issues as well. Frequently the app fails to download a particular page. This happens on both WiFi and LTE. On the iPad version I frequently lose the ability to exit out of the book I'm reading or pull up the menu. There's some random hanging of the app as well which can be annoying. The solution in each case is to force-quit the app. Which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the design choices above that make it so difficult to get back to your book. All in all, I have had to restart the app maybe 20 times over ~three hours of reading (on both iPad and iPhone). The content is incredible and the images are high quality. But ultimately, it's not worth the frustration and I won't be renewing after my first month ends. Hopefully Marvel will consider hiring a dev team to build the app to a higher standard.

I haven't read a comic in about twenty years cause I have so many other hobbies and work to do. I Don't have time to go to a comic shop and buy books or desire to read them. This is like the Netflix of comics and I've already gotten 6 comics in to the Civil War event since I woke up 3 hours ago. The comics are easy to read and a single frame will fill the iPad or iPhone screen. It makes each frame more important and cinematic than a full page of frames. I Very much enjoy the presentation and has allowed me to enjoy comics in a way that full page reading didn't. The App itself is crazy buggy though and I've not made it through a single comic without having to close out and restart. It locks up on a frame or pauses, sometimes exits you out on its own. This is frustrating and it needs to be fixed asap. The ap also needs a way to save or sort events and the suggested reading order of them from your library so that you can download what's next for offline reading. I fly a lot and would use the offline mode frequently. I'd rate this lower if the concept wasn't so good as the ap really is that buggy.

This is legitimately - I write this after much consideration - the worst app I have ever used. This includes apps I have tried, found to be terrible on one use, and deleted. App crashes. Comic title pages that won't load, forcing me to delete the app, redownload it, sign in again, and redownload the 12 offline issues I always keep - because it would be pure folly to trust that the comics I want to read will actually load when I want them to otherwise. The app was almost working somewhat, barely, reliably - until this last update. Now, the app freezes every 15 pages or so, forcing me to restart it - or it crashes on its own. I have just - for the umpteenth time - deleted and redownloaded the app, and now I can't even sign in! It kills me that this is the app I have to use, for what is an INCREDIBLE and awesome service that is wonderfully priced. The Comixology app, the Marvel and DC apps, all work so beautifully. I get that Unlimited has a different purpose, but PLEASE stop updating this app and give us a completely new and *functional* one!
