ComicBook!

You can realize your quick comic book ideas with this app. The layouts, bubbles, and stickers are great. There are a two focus areas that would make this app more enjoyable to work with. Saving, organizing, and navigating your work is confusing and scary. When I create a book, how do I navigate to and edit the next page? Why am I getting a message that my work may be lost when I had just saved? And positioning items is scary. Sometimes, the 'Lock Button' for a panel image is hidden by speech bubbles. I would love to see a menu that shows me where I am and allows me to navigate elsewhere. Am I editing a singular page? Am I viewing a book? Am I editing a page within a book? There should probably be a main menu. The tools are there, and they are great tools. The interface just makes me nervous that I'm going to lose or mess up my creations.

Lots of fun

App has potential but is poorly made. No undo option, to resize you have open another menu that takes 3 steps to do so. Not worth the money if you gonna buy it. Garbage.

I use this app almost daily now, and I do like it. It does what it promises…lets you create comic book pages rather easily. It has a load of comic-style effects you can add, and many, many page layout options. After working through the learning curve, you’ll be able to create some pretty nice-looking comic pages. However… The developers needs to add A LOT of standard features… —The ability to copy elements such as dialog bubbles, titles, etc. —The ability to simply copy the contents of one layout cell into another one, if most of the elements are going to be the same —The Save functionality on this app is CLUNKY, and kind of frightening until you get used to it! Why can’t there be a Save icon on the page I am working on? —Speaking of Save…that Save button I wish for should also offer the ability to save the current page as a different page, with a different name easily. —For some reason, if you add one of the special effect stickers…you can’t delete it! So you’d better be sure you like it! —Some elements give you the ability to resize them to better fit the text you write in them…but they don’t have resize handles to easily do that. You end up having to tap the dang element several times in order to make it finally realize that you want to resize it. —Considering it is a comic book-creating app, it would be nice to have the ability to arc or curve Headlines or Titles to give them a different kind of effect on the page. —Folders in the “Pages” section would be nice, so that I can group the pages for each episode of my comic separately, making them A LOT easier to find. —A pen or brush type tool would be handy. Fine, I draw the images for my comic in a different app, but having a pen in this app would be useful for drawing the odd line here and there if need be. —Bold or Italics: It would be nice if I could bold or italicize individual words in speech bubbles, etc. These suggestions I’m making aren’t revolutionary…They are the basic kind of function/features that are in just about every creative/artsy app I use, and they are what I expect. The bottom line is this: This is a good app, and it’s definitely letting me create comic pages…but it’s letting me do so with far more effort needed than should be necessary, and it’s letting me do so while wishing I had other features. I’ll keep using it, but don’t be surprised if you see me shopping on the App Store, looking for another, more robust comic page creator that I’d be willing to purchase.

I really enjoy the app. It works great to help me create study materials for herbs in school. The one problem I have with it that is problematic, is consolidation of files and uploading the finished comic book as a full PDF either to Email or to a computer. This causes a challenge with transferring the comic book to another device, or the finished product for storage elsewhere. I also have a few glitches switching between pages and the comic books.

This app has phenomenal potential. But right now, some things just need some improvement. Things I like about this app: There is a lot of material. The pricing is great. The FX are really cool. Things I don’t like about this app: The captions don’t resize completely, just the bubble.(so I wish there was a pinch to resize for the captions) For some reason the only some of the words I type will actually show on the captions. You can’t rotate the templates to make it the way you want.

Love this, you can create good comic books . Just need to have more instructions

Maybe I’m doing something wrong but I got an iPad and when I opened the app none of my purchases or projects are recognized from my phone and I have no way to restore the purchases for the extra action words I made on my phone. Any suggestions?

So i downloaded the app a week ago ended up not needing it so I deleted it and then today i was charged like $3.99 from the app but have no way to contact support or find out what or why i was charged. It doesn’t show i have a subscription to this app or have even used it yet im still being charged. Not a fan.

I have been using this for years… I worked for Apple Computers for more than 10 years consistently recommended it as one of the best Apps for expressive creativity. I recommend getting used to the different lay outs, think about telling a story and then use other apps in conjunction to produce the art in a way that reflects your style. I like to take pictures of my kids toys, artistically modify them, then bring them into ComicBook! To lay them out to make stories. Good stuff. Developers: PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING THIS APP! The sky is the limit with its potential.
