DC UNIVERSE INFINITE 12+

The service is good value for money. You get to read as many comics as you want for the cost of one hardcover if you get the annual membership.

The app layout though is terrible, it isn’t clear what comics have recently been added, it’s hard to find a particular comic unless you know exactly what you are looking for and there are also smaller issues like how the app doesn’t always save where read up to on a comic or some pages won’t load and you have to close and re-enter.

I also don’t like the way the Ultra subscription works. Keeping new comics exclusive to it I am fine with but locking older series behind the Ultra subscription and also the collected editions is something that should be in the regular subscription.

So glad this is finally available. I love Marvel Unlimited and it is great to have something similar for all the great DC content and there is loads of great content including Black Label and some Vertigo. Some more Vertigo titles would be great, please. The reader needs work. I can’t read in landscape on my phone and I can’t browse in landscape on my iPad. Reading comics is a bit slow and the experience isn’t as smooth as on the Marvel app. Also the search and browse don’t always show full lists. If there are lots of issues of title you don’t see them all and if you search it doesn’t always show what you expect for instance characters or part of a title. But it took Marvel a number of updates to improve similar things so I am looking forward to enjoying the content and the experience grow and improve.

UPDATE: Yes there have been improvements but the reader and interface are still confused. Downloads often don’t work. The biggest disappointment now though is Ultra. I was really excited and subscribed but it just doesn’t work and support have told be they’ve escalated but 2 days and no response. It all feels a bit half-hearted when compared with Marvel. Please give Infinite some love. The comics deserve it.

What’s gone from a 5 star review has dropped to 2 stars because there is seemingly no support available for the app. I’ve been locked out of my profile and can’t reset my password. Who do I ask for help? Apparently there is NO customer support for this app so I’m just stuck. Such a shame as otherwise I love this app and the service.

The sheer amount of quality content on this platform is worth 5 stars alone, but if you buy the 12 month subscription it works out about £3.99 a month which is INSANE value for money. I will say that the app is not perfect (things are a little awkward to browse) but the good outweighs the bad. The panel view works perfectly (just like Comixology) and it’s nice that you don’t have to actually download the comics to read them (although occasionally there’s a delay as a page loads). Overall this is essential for comic fans.
