Very powerful tool – Comic Life 3 Review

This is what we use for many of the comics within our magazine, Saturday AM. It's a digital manga anthology like many Shonen magazines from Japan and we focus on global creators so--we needed a portable, easy to use platform to develop speech bubbles for comics and Comic Life has not disappointed. One thing I can say comfortably is that you really need a newer iPad (Air and or Mini4) and preferably a larger hard drive. Too many times on older iPads the app would crash and/or simple features like changing the speech bubble tails (from thick to thin, etc) would crash the app--which sometimes did not save where you left off. Likewise, after a year of use--I think the fonts and types of speech bubbles have updated once. I'd like and expect more. Lastly, I don't see how I could streamline the process to export a full comic. Some of our serials can run 20-40pgs an issue and so would be nice to letter them all--save in order and then send out to a cloud storage account in one fell swoop. Perhaps I'm missing the steps to do so but this would be most appreciated. Otherwise, this app is simply extraordinary -- clean, fun design and far more efficient to use than the web-based version (in my opinion).
