User reviews
This was originally a 3-star rating. While I like the ease of use in scanning my comics in, there were some pretty large gaps in the database's library and you had to create a placeholder for anything the database couldn't find. Now, I see that the database has recently been updated and includes much more comics, including current issues. Great! Now I've begun the process of updating my placeholders to comics in the database. Next, please create a filter to group placeholder comics for updates

This app is nearly pointless. I've scanned many comics and almost none of them recognized. Not odd unknown stuff, but newer big name comics. Terrible scanner. Doesn't recognize much. Even if you find it manually, I don't see a way to add to your collection. I use 3 apps for comics and this is the worst one.

This app is so much more user-friendly compared to any alternatives. It's great! I think it would be nice to get alerts when people we follow upload new comics to their collections. As well as a feature to auto-rescan preexisting images of any comics that are not in the database in our collection, but the initial photo taken remains. This way, we don't have to search through all our comics later to rescan again.
