Could be a great app, but ...

EDIT: My review below is for a very old version. I've been using the regular ComiXology app since, and I've not tried the most updated version(s). --------------------- This app loses one star for frequent crashing. It loses a second star for offering the first issue of some older series (Like "52"), which succeed in getting me interested, but then not having the rest of the series available! Why bother teasing us with the first issue of a series (in some cases for free) if the rest (which have been published long ago) are not made available? That said, it is super-cool to be able to download these older series from my comfy chair at home. I'd love it if they made the trades available so you can get the whole series at once.
It’s a comic reader

It’s serves its purpose and is very convenient. The interface can be a little wonky at time. Hopefully they keep updating.
I never thought I'd read comics digitally

I've been reading for almost 30 years and when digital came on the scene I thought it couldn't replace actually holding and reading a comic in your hands but I have to say, it's a new experience and this app is just fantastic. It works great on my iPhone and iPad.
Best since sliced bread!

Love this app!! The best way to stay connected to comics when you can't get the physical copy!! Easy to use!!
Lossy Compression Algorithms
AJLeuer
I can’t prove it, but in at least the issues I’ve purchased, DC seem to be applying a lossy compression scheme (think JPEG or similar) to the digital representations of their comics. This results in ugly compression artifacts that make reading an unpleasant experience. It's simply never acceptable to use lossy bitmap compression for text or hand-drawn color graphics - there are existing lossless algorithms that compress nearly as well and cause no drop in quality from the reference material. I have no doubt DC want the experience of reading a comic on an iPad to be just as good as reading on paper, and I'm optimistic they will make fixing this defect their utmost priority. Until that time however, I simply can't recommend this application.
DC is the best

Since DC is, without question, the greatest comic book publisher, it only makes sense that their app is great. It's easy to browse, search, purchase and read books. Terrific app.
Great!!

I’m new to comics and I couldn’t be happier with this app!!! It’s really great and I recommend DC as a starting place if you’re looking for a new hobby.
Needs iPhone X support

Will rate 5 stars once iPhone X support is added to the app, otherwise it's great!
