Super handy app! 5 star for sure. But at the same time I have a few suggestions for some features that maybe developers can make them better in the next version. 1. Photos cannot be cropped in this app. We have to crop and adjust them before we add them into comic blocks. 2. I guess the developer designed this app for mostly English users, because the Captions are weird in sizes if I type in Chinese or Japanese characters. Also the Chinese characters font type are not adjustable. Title caption can only use in English. If developers can fix it that will be wonderful. 3. Captions have only one direction (left to right). If you can provide a top to bottom directions, that’ll be great. 4. Captions cannot be tilted or rotate. 5. Only one font type can be selected in one caption, which means I can’t highlight one or several words within a sentence. 6. Stickers can be vertically flipped but not horizontally. Overall, this is a great app. I really hope developers can fix the Chinese and Japanese characters problem soon, because I know that not only myself but many people like to type characters in the comics and make it cooler. Thanks! Lincoln

Absolutely everything you need

Such a wonderful tool to create the comic you’ve always wanted to. True not all the extras are free but it was actually after I had made over 50 professional pages that I decided to spring a whole dollar on one of the extras, even though I really didn’t necessarily need it. If you are creative and can learn this app it is great. Couldn’t recommend more.

Basic with notable issues

A bug has been introduced which makes this unusable. The circles used to manipulate the caption tails now export with both pdf and images making the output flawed. You can do basic layouts with this app and it’s fairly useful for that. However it can’t do the one thing you think it might: make a book. The only way to create a book is in app. You can’t view it outside. To do that you have to export pdfs or images and build it yourself with other software. Which is now broken due to the caption tail issue. Caption types are limited. Only one form allows you to size the box. No typical “radio” message type caption bubble. In your saved pages, there is no obvious order. It seems like last update sorted them by regency of edit but there is no way to sort by name for instance which is hugely inconvenient. Pictures also can’t be locked in place unless you apply the comic book filter appearance to them. Overall it’s ok for a quick layout but it quickly runs into usability problems.

Minor Flaws

I like how the pictures are exported in high resolution. However, there’s seems to be a tiny flaw after the update. Every time I export the image, not only is the dialogue not centered in the balloon like it’s supposed to be, but also the text is a different color rather than black. I hope that can be fixed in future updates.

Seriously Awesome

This app is amazing for making comics/collages! I have never had an issue with it. Actually helpful with productivity, not just for fun. I rely on this app. You can easily save your Page or export to Camera Roll which is critical. My kids love it, I love it. Please don’t ever wreck this app with an update!!! (That happens so often I’m always afraid to update)

ComicBook! Is a MUST Have!

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.

Inappropriate!!

Yes this app easy and fun to use with it’s already accessible internet pictures, but while using the app myself I was scrolling through the pictures provided and came across several pictures of naked women. I would highly suggest not downloading this app for young children, due to the inappropriate photos provided.

A GREAT app, but..

I love this app, it's great! If I could make one suggestion; have a feature that would allow you to straighten or level your photos. Of course you can ALREADY do this, it's just so sensitive, a leveling tool would be sweet.

How the $&@! do you get out of Settings screen?

Tap the gear to go into Settings. Now crash the app. Now reopen it. Is that really how we’re supposed to to get back to the main app? There’s no button or gesture I could find that will take you back there. How about a fix for this for once!

Changed the App

They changed the App making it easy for a 5 year old, thus making it too simplistic for adults. Sometimes upgrades ruin the product. This App is an example.

Oh Yea!

This is a great fun app and after talking with the Devs they are listening and they are adding features. My grand daughter liked this so well on my iPad 2 that we bought it for her iPad 1 also. We have not experienced any crashes and we have made at least 30 pages from our vacation and sent them back and fourth. Working Great on a 64gig iPad 2 and a 16gig iPad 1 Those of you who are having crashing problems need to contact the support team. Just posting here that yours is crashing does nothing to get your problem fixed. They need to know what device you are using, how much memory your device has, any utilities you may have running in the background, ect.... This is a review forum not a tech support forum. Don't expect to get your problems fixed by posting "It Crashes" here. If you have been through the Support help and are still dissatisfied then go ahead and vent. But if you want to see the app running on your device with your configuration you need to help the support team figure out why it is not.

I love comic book!!!!!!!!

When I first got this app I was a little confused, but it's definitely worth paying! I got mine free almost 5 years ago but let me say that I would have payed the money any way. I am in middle school and make comics about pets, I have many of them. It s amazing to look back on my old comics to see memories, my own creativity, and sadly some beloved pets who have passed. Moment of silence for them please. I have a blog called - From A Kids Point Of View - I will soon be talking about this app and a couple others on there. This app has truly changed my life and reminds me of my wonderful pets that I once had, and the ones I have currently! So I defiantly recommend this app for others! - thanks🙂

Multiple crashes on an iPad 1

I desperately wanted to like this App, since I was working on something with it with my 4 year old son and having a blast. However, it CRASHED multiple times, and worse, there didn't seem to be any way to even do a save-in-progress. I tried saving the Image, but of course this only loaded the entire work as a single Image and provided very limited ability to continue from when we left off. PLEASE FIX THE BUGS and make sure in the event of a crash that it's been AUTO-SAVING and will pick up where it left off!!! [UPDATE]: I turned my iPad 1 off completely and then on again and the bugs seemed to disappear. As my iPad's memory was pretty full, this suggests that the problem probably has something to do with memory management. Please fix and you've got a 5 star app! (though one suggestion: PLEASE add the ability to do multiple pages (so you can actually create "real" comic books rather than just a single photo page!)

Creative, fun app, could use added functionality

Overall, this app delivers as promises. It's fun to use, and it's a neat way to use photos from one's library. I found it to be mostly stable, but there are several features that would be helpful if the developers implemented: 1. An ability to save the file in progress for editing later. Right now, if the app crashes or if you remove the app from operating in the background, you will lose the project that you were working on. This is frustrating, especially if you spend 20 minutes working on a project. 2. An ability to resize the text and thought bubbles without having to type something in them. This would be a helpful feature when putting stickers inside of bubbles. 3. Auto-size for text rectangles based on text content. Right now, the user has to manually resize the rectangle if you want the text to remain on a single line. 4. There needs to be an easier way to see which sticker sets have been purchased and which have not been purchased. (Without having to click on a particular set.) For example, can you change the icon in a way that shows which sticker sets the user already owns? 5. Custom font colors (instead of the six pre-chosen options) would be great.

best comic app for iOS!

No app has 'everything' but Comic Book is the best of breed if you want to have fun with photos or make more complex boards. The interface is easy and straightforward, but help is there and useful as well. Additional 'stickers' are available and are reasonably priced for what you get. Export options are plentiful, and you can import from the photo section or from the camera. Choosing comic format is easy but I didn't see any option for designing a 'custom' strip with panels sized and placed by the user. Even lacking that, there are plenty of choices that will suit most needs. You can easily apply a variety of 'looks' including halftone, posterization and others to you panels The caption options are plentiful and cover most needs, and they also allow color choices, font adjustments and the caption pointers can be easily lengthened or changed to point in any direction. All in all this is a very good app for making your own comic strips. if you spend an honest hour using it you'll see for yourself. That said, I hope they continue to expand the choices and categories of 'stickers' and perhaps offer user defined panels and captions for that matter. Overall I'd give it 5 stars especially compared to other comic creation apps. Catfish

Fantastic.

I love the user friendliness of the app. The UI is awesome and easy to navigate through. I bought another comic app I was not pleased with at all it has a lot of options and setting maybe to excelled for me. The simplicity of this app is for beginners and experts alike. Love this app use it everyday now. I'm one of those guys that loves to edit pix and change everything bout them weather it be funny silly of quality for better looks. This app is now one of my favs. Well worth the $1.99 I paid. After I spend $2.99 on "Strip Designer" and was not pleased at all. So if your a beginner and want simplicity and ease of use this is the app for you!!! Thanks look forward to all and any updates in the future!!!

More app purchases!!!!! $&@?"

What can I say ...the app is great but..... And their is a but.... Their is a alarming trend that is going on in today's apps..its the in app purchases ... A lot of the apps whether their free or you pay for them ... It's the entry fee.... Just to get you to the door or through the door. Once their they show you the riches and the greatness the app could be ...just to charge you once again ... To used the app at its full potential It's like buying a box of crayons and when you open it to used it all you can used is the red crayon and the the others you must pay for them separately if you want to used them ... And this is not only this app but many other app as well...work the same ... I know they got to make their money but REALLY!!! Give us at least a bit more for our $2 entry fee...

Would be such a great app if it didn't constantly crash!

In the rare attempts I've succeeded in completing a project with this app it is amazing! However, "as is" this app is completely frustrating. Not only does it constantly crash but it seems to crash at the very end when you are almost done with your project causing you to lose everything and forcing you to start all over from scratch. There isn't even a way to save your work as you go to prevent this from happening. Rebooting and restarting the app seems to make no difference at all. One thing that seems to help a little is when you use smaller file sized photos. Even when I do this, it seems randomly crash, although it does seem to do it less frequently. Please, Please fix! This app would be amazing if it worked! I would give it 5 stars easily if it didn't crash constantly.
