iCollect Comic Books App Reviews

Review

Would be nice if you could consolidate collections as opposed to displaying every book. Also, it would be nice to add runs as opposed to always individually. Other than that, I like it

Love this app

Can finally catalog my 1000+ comic books.

Very useful

Very useful and simple to use. I am eager to try the desktop app.

Sad

I would love this app if you didnt have to pay $5.99 for every collection.

Great! But...

I love all the option, how much info you can add, but some auto consolidation options would be great, such as all Amazing Spider-Man consolidate together as a series on your collection viewer without having to manually filter. Obviously with the ability to switch back if you dont like it. Barcode scanning can also be a chore, many books, especially trade paperbacks, lack them and force you to manually search them.

Dont bother

This app REQUIRES you to find a pic before it will let you save anything and more than half the time its not finding the comic Im trying to enter plus its a virtual clone of the iCollect comic app.

Sort it Comic

I agree with the other review in part i do wish you could use it offline when you not online you dont get to see anything fix that and the other thing the review said it can still be a good app

Would be a great app, but...

This would be the perfect app for comic collectors, but only if it worked properly. The user created database is inaccurate in so many ways. The app itself crashes too much. And I understand you cant see your collection if youre not online, but why cant there be a web version in order to better maintain your own collection? For the price of this app, it falls short.

Needs Improvement

Good for what it is, but definitely needs updates. It would be nice to be able to put your comics into folders, seeing as how some series are hundreds of comics long. Also, there needs to be an option to input the volume number, or at the very least display them by year, otherwise all the different volumes of a series get blended together by issue. And most importantly, they need to work out all the bugs. Every time I add something to my collection that it cannot find and I have to select "I cant find my item," the app crashes. If they can work these things out, I think it can be a great app, but as of now, I dont think it was really worth my money.

Refund needed

Claims its got a barcode scanner it does and cant detect even current issues barcodes. You have to manually type in every thing then either photograph your books or do a google search for a picture. It doesnt even have a price guide. Plus it has to constantly load the covers to your books. Not bad if you got 3 books but if your like me with 2000+ its useless! This app can be useful but it needs a lot of work. Also just remove the scanner it doesnt work anyhow.

needs more work

It was a good idea but there are still some bugs to work out! I paid for the offline viewing and it does not work! If it can not be fixed I would like a refund!

Keeping my fingers crossed

It would be great if youre able to scroll through titles first and then see individual comics Should have a feature indicating copies owned of an issue Should also have a search to show comics from a specified writer, artist, publisher, etc. A section for lend out comics would go a long way Relies heavily on the honor system, I would like to be able to decide what not to show from previously inputted information from other users All and all, could be an extremely incredible app, but as the previous reviews point out, its a bit buggy Issue numbers tend to be all over the place but within the title so its not entirely that bad if youre gentle with it, crashes wont occur

Needs work

Database needs work, scanning barcode needs to be better. Has potential but I dont see it yet. Hopefully they can make some changes

So Im supposed to build your database for you?

I had low hopes for this app after reading its past reviews. I gave it a shot anyway. Even with low hopes it let me down. Most every comic I scan from my collection doesnt come up with any results, or the results are lacking in any relevant information about the comic. If I wanted to build a database of information relating to comics, then I would have made my own app.

Disappointed

Why am I having to input all of the data myself? Aside from the cover art, I could replace this app with an old fashioned spiral notebook. Good idea in theory.

Its good

Not the greatest thing ever but it does the job. The bar code scanner could be better but as more and more people add info the better the database becomes.

worthless app

why did I not heed the warnings of the reviews? this is a complexly worthless app and we all need a refund. I bought this about 10min ago and already I know its absence of worth. barcode scan - where is it pulling its data from? because it is wrong and unavailable 75% of the time. I am so upset about this since this is the first thing I paid for in apps in many years. why isnt there a good comic collecting app out there?!? I thought this could be the one, but it most definitely is not one more thing - I dont think this app recognizes marvel comics! every marvel book scan results in no results

Comics!

This is a great app for keeping track of books. Makes for a good pocket reference when out on a comic crawl.

Worthless/Dissatisfied

This is a very pour app. Should not have spent $ on it. Sounded like a great idea and what I wanted in a comic book list record. I scan my info take pictures and they go away. Do not buy this app. Save your money and buy a comic book.

Horrible Poor app. Boo to you sir!!

I wish I could get my money back. The scanner doesnt work and you have to input everything yourself. Ugh. So mad I spent money on this.
