Great
Dark horse is a less talked about company but a great one because of the licences they get such as alien, predators, over watch and many more one feature that would be great is some sort of product scan because I have a few of their comics in physical form and don’t want to buy them again and also don’t want t take them wherever I go this would be nice but is alto to ask over all great and lots of free content highly recommend it
2017-08-04
Great Interface
Just downloaded the app and it works great. Fairly easy to navigate and in app purchase is fluid.
2017-03-30
Crash
Keeps crashing as soon as I open the app... Please fix.
2016-10-06
Good on iPad. Problem on new iPhone7.
Hi, Good on iPad. Problem on new iPhone7.The downloads did not work.
2016-08-09
Enjoyed this app until they ripped out the Star Wars catalog
Was a good app until the Star Wars catalog was removed then the app removed all 62 Star Wars titles I bought off my iPad and then forced to archive me to redownload and waste my bandwidth. I can now read the Star Wars titles again but they aren't categorized by series anymore and have no thumbnails so I haven't got a hot clue of which comic I'm opening. Thanks for nothing Dark Horse!
2016-06-07
Great!
Fantastic way to enjoy comics. HELLBOY IS AWESOME!!!
2016-05-04
Easy access to Dark Horse's Digital Library.
Easy to use, great way to keep up with Dark Horse's new books, or down load and take your favorite digital editions with you on the go.
2016-04-18
Wow
I have my Conan collection which had to be sold all those years ago for college money BACK... They are BACK BABY, this is one of the best things ever, reader works slick (once you figure it out) content is great and prices good Thank you
2015-09-07
Excellent app
This is my first digital comics app. Love the panel to panel view. Brings the experience of reading comics up to a whole new level.
2015-05-29
Sometimes frustrating
I got the star wars bundle a while back and I love it. The problem is the app. I'm reading through these large graphic novels that take me a while to read. You know how, on kindle, when you open the app it brings you to where you left off so you can just continue reading? No can do here.
The app defaults to bringing you your library in the cloud. you have to click " device" then navigate to star wars, then the subcategory of star wars, and finally to the particular book you're reading, if you can remember it. Then it at least remember what page you're on, thank goodness. It takes a few seconds, but it's enough of a hassle that I don't read as much as I'd like to.
Further, the panel view doesn't work very well. Sometimes it works great, and then sometimes there is a progress bar at the bottom that won't go away. Until it does for no apparent reason. It obscures part of the panel. Baffling.

Good ap
Love this app simply so I can buy my elf quest comics!!!
2015-04-18
Great content
But sadly the ease of use is not as good as other comics.
2015-03-29
Comic storage
Is there a way you could update it so that I can rearrange my comics on my device. I don't like that it's in alphabetical order. I have series and they are not all together and it's kinda confusing.
Thanks
2015-03-11
Great!
This is awesome. I'm gunna love all the reading from great books. I'm gunna enjoy. Thanks
2015-03-06
Great stuff. Just one thing.
I love DH comics and this app couldn't be easier to use.
I just wish there was a way to hide and/or delete archived comics from my device. My reading list is too messy.
2015-01-02
Top-notch
Just got the app for Star Wars comics. No complaints so far.
2014-11-14
One Major Flaw
The content is excellent and the service is wonderful, but I want to be able to delete comics from my roster. I've purchased some real duds and I hate that they are always visible in my library. Please fix this Darkhorse.
2014-09-04
Very good reader
Overall a very good experience. Sometimes the panel to panel flow isn't as smooth as if like, but the awesome comics dark horse puts out makes it worth dealing with
2014-08-03
Dark horse comics
The app was easy to use and quite convenient overall a good choice for both casual and hardcore comic readers
2014-04-13
Easy, extensive library
It's great that I can manage my library and access the cloud for my previous purchases. If you can use the App Store you can use this easily. Thanks!
2014-03-28
Great but some bugs in syncing
Scrolling is intuitive and pages snap to screen well. Lately there have been some issues with retrieving older issues via sync, but that could be the somewhat unreliable NZ Internet.
2014-03-23
The interface of worst practices
It's not like I'm going to find another app to read Dark Horse Comics, so DH can enjoy its monopoly. But perhaps they could follow some normal iPad interface best practices. I'm actually not sure how to get back to the home screen. Is it one tap? Two? A slightly encouraging screen poke? It's certainly not a pinch or swipe down.
Sigh. If I had any intention of ever buying a hard copy comic, I'd be able to avoid this app. But I can't.
"Well played, Quarian."
2014-02-11
Good
Vast improvements from what it was.
2014-02-11
Reader
The movement between panels and pages is very satisfying, but getting each comic started is not. Select a comic and the cover appears, then swipe to read the first page -- more than two minutes pass before the app responds, without fail. If you're halfway through a comic the whole thing opens immediately, but opening a fresh one is frustrating.
2014-01-05
Really buggy
Really buggy, shuts down a lot when trying to connect to the store or your comics.
Deleted because it never worked properly.
2013-12-27
Worst
Does not work
2013-12-20
Great Update.
The new update work awesome, the old UI bugged me so much with the red dot that wouldn't go away and the consent crashing. That's all gone now. If you had uninstalled this app before this update, it might be time to try it again. It works almost flawless now, and I'm almost happy with the app, but would to see two page reading like Comixology has. If that gets added 5 stars. Please make it happen Darkhorse. I think it would be a great benefit to users, but for the meantime this update has been awesome and long needed. Thanks Darkhorse, I love your StarWars Comics!
2013-12-20
Best app
Love this app!!! Way better way to read and keep comics!!! Can't seem
To find the new darth vader series
2013-11-22
Terrible once again
I thought this app had turned a corner after being unreliable for so, so long but after this new update on November 2013, we are back to the same old problems. I tried browsing in their store but it just shuts off, a past problem that was irritating before but now is just annoying especially after everything seemed to be corrected.
I don't know what Dark Horse's problem is but if this is how they wish to continue in the digital age, I feel really bad for the creators who have their work published there. Get your act together or just stop being so stubborn and go to Comixology.
2013-10-19
DH should team up with comixology
This really is a subpar app. Very clunky. Can't understand why they don't team up with Comixology like every other publisher.
2013-10-19
Burn it all and start again...
iOS 7 is the perfect opportunity to completely rebuild this confusing, sluggish, and often unusable app. I've actually just stopped buying Dark Horse comics because using this app is so exhausting. Time for a new direction!
2013-10-02
Great app
I use this a lot. Great selection of titles.
2013-09-26
Keeps crashing
Since last update try to load comics crash.
2013-09-16
The last of us
The last of us comics are the best
2013-09-13
Dark horse
The app is great much easier to use on iPad iso the iPhone. It's great to be able to browse comics in the store. So much choice. It's great!!
2013-08-14
Epic win
Has many different series to offer, just wish it updated quicker
2013-08-08
convenient
Wish the comics were higher res
2013-08-07
Great stuff
This app is just great.
2013-07-15
Great app.
It's nice to fill in gaps when local shops don't have issues. Quick and easy to get comics... Maybe TOO easy! Haha
2013-07-04
Not crashing anymore
Fixed the crashes that killed the previous version.
2013-06-23
Bad interface
Far from smooth reading. Resolution starts to pixelize and blur when zoomed. Was hoping for an experience akin to staple comic book reader apps. A bit disappointed.
2013-06-12
Sell me an app please, not a buggy HTML viewer.
Note: This app is still buggy and rarely works, even after the past two updates. I'm using version 1.5.1 on two different devices, including a 64 GB iPhone 5.
This app crashes on launch, has a horribly chuggy interface, and is nothing more than a badly skinned browser interface with memory issues. I expect more for an app that sells me content. If I buy a book off of you I expect to be able to READ that book and not just on a lucky day.
2013-06-10
Crashes. EVERY TIME.
App crashes seconds after opening, every time. Either get your act together or license your books to Comixology. You've got great creators putting out quality books, they deserve better than this joke of an app.
2013-06-05
Love it
No crash, no glitch , just great artwork and stories. Goon, and Hellboy, my faves, thank you
2013-05-29
Graphic books need better options
Comic reading ok - not as smooth as an interface as I'd like. Glad the store can be used in app now. Would really like to buy graphic books on this app but the print is way too small and zoom centers badly and zooms out when you try to scroll down/up
2013-05-29
Constantly Crashing!
I don't know what happened, but this app is now totally unusable. Crashes on startup every single time.
2013-05-25
Does not work on ios5
Was working on ios4 but after upgrade it shows that is installed on the iPad but I cannot find the icon!!!!!! Using sync I remove it and install it still same and no icon!!! Sending email to their team no feedback! Overall 40 dollars of book sitting there with no use.
2013-05-22
Crashes are back
After the latest update, the app crashes after less than a minute of use. Tried it over 10 times, irrespective of which screen I'm on, the app chugs along and dies without warning. This is pretty much unusable now and might force me to reinstall and redownload all my books. Ugh.
