I have to use this app for school I went to look at one of the comics I had just finished making and I accidentally clicked the trash button but it didn t delete yet because you have to click another button that says delete So I clicked on the empty space around the button thinking that the button that says delete would go away and I could edit my comic but NO MY COMIC GOT DELETED I tried everything to get it back but nothing worked I worked so hard on that comic and now I can t get it back I am very frustrated and that is why I will only give this app at least one and a half stars I know u can t do that but that is what I think it deserves The people who made this app should really read this review so they can fix this problem Also they should make a thing so you can see all the comics you deleted in case you accidentally delete one or you need one that you deleted Please help me     Makes me REALLY mad KNB5456

I believe that this app is the first version of the Comic Life apps that plasq developed for the series Since then they have developed Comic Life 3 I bought Comic Life 3 and now I have both apps I have to say that I prefer Comic Life 3 Although I love Comic Life in general I feel that some improvements would be needed and appreciated Basically I just find the apps to be very touch and go meaning that the slightest touch and things can run amok amuck I don t know why that is but it is at least for me While writing this I cannot think of anything else I could add other than the fact that the Comic Life apps are among my most used apps for creating comics on my iPad And I have several comics apps on my iPad             A COMIC LIFE USER sorry4ever

This is a great app and it never gets old                     Absolutely love RegaHick

I know that the developers will probably not be reading this review but I just wanted to let any one looking to pay for this app that it s not worth the 5 This app is overpriced anyways and I just want to let you know that it isn t worth it It s extremely hard to use and deletes pictures randomly that I have spent HOURS on because the app is so hard to use I spent 2hrs on a project that should have taken 30 minutes Do NOT get this app unless it has improved     Wow It s the worst app I have ever used Zcvw

Features are there but not at all easy or quick to access Of course over time a workflow can be established however the process is currently like something out of the 90 s And a suggestion or request please let us import work from the previous version I was not able to do it and if there is a way please explain I could find the file and start the process but after 20 minutes I bailed out             Let s just say less than intuitive operator99

This is SOOO hard to work It flips the page when you don t want it to and it won t turn when you do want it to It won t do anything I m telling it to do One of the most annoying things is the speech bubbles When I click on it I want the blue outline to show up It doesn t always show up and that it really annoying Please fix This If that was fixed then I d give it 3 stars Instead of 1     DX BEST APP EVAH

This is what I was looking for It would be cool if the page turn had a sound or something though                     Perfect The shake masta

My kids and I have a blast with Comic Life We have both ipad and Mac versions Get fun everywhere at the doctors office waiting in line day trips or vacation As a teacher I ask my students to create their tickets out the door yup I understood today s lesson With Comic Life and have fun And they do Keep up the great work                     Mother approved BoneyJones48

I have tried other comic creation apps as well but this one is the best It s easy to use and the results are great Even if you aren t looking to make comics it s still a great tool for making posters or photo collection books It exports beautifully too There are only two improvements that I would suggest 1 a way to line up element on a page 2 a way to create and save your own layouts                     Great App sketchbookguy

Comic Life is just perfect for all sorts of creative expression I use it all the time to create descriptive or explanatory graphics for presentations in my classes With a simple almost non existent learning curve to begin with Comic Life also supports the sophisticated super users as well This app full of wonderfully accommodating tools and capabilities seemingly anticipates all your needs with regard image and text manipulation It ain t Photoshop but I wouldn t want that anyway Comic Life provides QUICK EASY SLICK PRO LOOKING graphics that almost always come out better than you imagined when you started The app is obviously well supported back in PLASQ land because they re always coming out with new stuff and Comic Life for the iPad is just another example Check out the quick intro videos you quickly see how easy it is to use and get a glimpse into the depths of what it can then go on to do This is a GREAT app BTW I am in no way affiliated with PLASQ etc my Dad was a comic artist and I am well aware of how hard it is to create good looking comics Comic Life brings that possibility to the rest of us and is SO cool                     Comic Life Fits All Fingers Tons O Fun MyNameIsNoMan

I have used the PC version of comic life in school and I have to say that the iPad app fills the shoes of its desktop counterpart easily This app allows me to take drawings I ve made in other programs and easily turn them into story boards I have two features that would make this app 5 star worthy 1 the text fill and page fill features feel like they re from 1999 Gradients and solid colors don t cut it I would really like to have the ability to fill text with pictures textures for a really polished look and 3d and material effects would be awesome 2 this is a comic app and straight lines are paramount The app needs align tools so I can snap both edges and the anchor points of shapes to each other                 Great app that could use some features Cee-Delta_Conductor

I love this app I use it for personal photo projects as well as at work As an occupational therapist I find it is a great way to engage my younger clients in story creation projects to help them work on sequencing and also to help teach social skills and other kinds of skills through personalized stories I highly recommend this app as an effective tool for OTs and SLPs or just as fun way to organize and share your photos with friends and family or just for yourself                     Great app with many uses Omnibot5000

I would like the app more if u can change the fonts                 Have a change font feature Breana and Paxton

I was really excited to use this app I thought it was exactly what I wanted and needed I am FRUSTRATED because it crashes every time I try to do anything It seems like it has great potential but I wish it actually worked Please update             Frustrated mr.nx

So I used to love this app because I could do what I do best create stories with pictures But now since I updated it its been running very glitchy and SLOW I have the iPad 1 and its worked beautifully in the past but now I can t use it because it takes about ten minutes to to insert a picture And you know you have that option of choosing your own layout well when you insert a picture into there It won t let you or at least me in edit it to give it have that comic appeal Look guys I m not trashing this app because it is WAS amazingly awesome but what happened Please please Put out a new update so it runs faster I really loved this app and there is no other like it Plus I paid 5 for it and it was worth it at the time but not anymore Originally I would ve given this app a full 5 stars but until you update it to make it faster and put back the option of in edit photo s when you insert them into the layouts I m giving it 2 stars Carina         Was brilliant but now super agonizing SLOW Californcari

A very good up with good UI This app would be considered the best if it has stamps and or stickers like those other comic apps Also it would be perfect if it has more templates and the ability to warp the caption text                 Good Not the best BHONGBASTIC

It can create any comic you d like Has many great options to edit and it offers a million different directions for your graphic novel The only issue I have is that I m a perfectionist and would like the squares to easily snap to the other panels within a layout Also a bug with the quotation marks Other than that worth the money to create something unique on a touchscreen                 Love this app Miss Yumi

I highly recommend Comic Life to Every One                     Best Game Ever 7boo37854367

Lots of fun and easy to use                     Great App Stu ker

Allows me to create a comic strip about any event I attend Wish the version on my computer were this easy Perfect companion to Toon Camera                     Awesome app THE LEC

I have pushed this app to the limits creating my own full length photocomics and I can say with conviction that a good number of the negative reviews especially on this latest version are from people who didn t read the manual and or were looking for a quick fix caption my pic app You CAN change colors font types and sizes You can even create and save styles combining these things for easy re use The packaged templates ARE fairly simplistic and quirky but they re tailored towards the beginning user and or children The desktop version is used heavily as an educational tool so this is understandable One reviewer states You practically only can make text bubbles with it Well you can And as a matter of fact the balloon controls in this app are second to none No other app currently in the app store provides extension bubbles precise bending of tails or adding multiple tails to the same balloon These things are critical if you want to approach a classic comic book feel and or create dialog without filling your panels full of bubbles However that s far from being the only thing you can do with the app There are a dozen or so other apps for that Comic Life allows you to start from a template or start from scratch with a blank page building your comic panel by panel Even if you start out with a blank template there are over 300 layouts in 14 different styles to choose from Once a layout is applied to a page panels can be resized rotated moved or deleted and new ones can easily be added Some reviewers complain about the inability to transfer comics to the desktop app but honestly I have had very few problems transferring comics both ways using the built in import export options with DropBox The desktop versions have more pre packaged templates and I ve successfully transferred most of those into my iPad library by creating a comic using the template adding a page for each included template layout and then exporting the comic to DropBox The exported comic retains all of the template style choices so you can use the duplicate function on the iPad app to create new comics from your template at any point You can also use this method to create templates in any of the supported sizes in the desktop app and export them for use on the iPad The app isn t perfect As many of the more positive reviews have noted there is a serious need for snap to grid functionality and I have found accurately sizing and lining up panels to be the most tedious aspect of using this app It needs support for importing fonts like Strip Designer the only real competing app in the store On many occasions I ve used Comic Life to build my balloons and then exported to Strip Designer for custom lettering I d love to be able to do both in one app There are plenty of things that could be added but honestly if you ve gotten far enough into the app to care there are forums for that All in all this is a well designed app with a lot to offer for a very reasonable price So buy it and spend some time with it Or buy a 0 99 app and a latte Your choice                     Read This Review First Apptronica

This app has a very limited selection of templates to make a comic strip out of The templates you have to choose from unless you don t want to spend the dragging box by box next to each other are not clever I have great Internet connection and have never had a problem with apps glint hint or running slow until now This is a poorly made app and would NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP     Don t waste your time Decodec

This app is a disappointment You practically only can make text bubbles with it     Buy it if you need bubbles kukaduro

I m always impressed by how useful this app is Comics are a breeze either by making them from photos or original art using an iPad draw or paint program The lettering fonts are varied and easy to use in creating just the right look I use it to create photo comics of my kids drawn comics for 24 hour comics day and many education related purposes including attention grabbing worksheets lessons and charts Being able to create on the iPad and then send the work to my other computer to continue working on is very convenient The new templates are wonderful and huge time savers Versatility as comics newsletters slides and how to instruction sequence booklets it s all inclusive and easy to use                     Excellent squidinferno

I have lots of fun with this program Recommend it Larry Powell                     Comic Life is great lp10734

I bought this assuming it would be compatible with Comic Life sold on the Mac app store It is not If they are going to sell comic life for Mac and iPad it should be compatible on both apple devices     Not Compatible Comic19999999

This iPad Comics life is almost as good as the desktop Little was sacrificed in features but it still lacks in portions for page sizes None of the sizes available corresponds to a comic book format which is weird coming from a comic book creation application                 Good port harrymfa

The good a lot of template options lettering etc The overall experience is much more fluid than many of the comic apps except for a few notable points Suggested improvements provide a few more options for page sizes such as 4x6 Furthermore since our fingers aren t nearly as precise as a mouse please incorporate a snap to grid feature or some way to ensure that we can align certain frames equally                 Good but frustrating at times Beninatx

I love this comic life app so much and it is worth the 5 dollars Very fun you can make a ton of different comics in different colors and styles very cool I have been using ever since I got it and it hasn t crashed at all and just a ball of fun to do when you are bored                     Love it Dragon girl125

The app is good but there needs to be a way to change font color and size You can change the box size but not the font kinda hard to read The app is also a tittle slow Takes a long time to load but I guess that s normal for such a big app It they change the font I would rate it 5 for sure         Needs work YzyhZjzgbxd

updated at the end I m a cartoonist I was looking for a tool that let me design a comic book to later be sync with my computer in any format posible It need rulers and a lot of obvious tools to be able to work on something real here Then I found another app with more professional aproach Strip Designer for iPad it needs work also but it let me design in a professional way and it let me buy fonts for professional use that means I can buils a comic that later on can be sell online without licensing problems Devs are trying to aproach kids or youngsters that want to put dialogue balloons over pictures but out there are professionals looking for options to substitute laptops with iPads or use iPads as a sync devices for later on use Dont let Adobe think about that first Build an app for pros before others upload a nice app to the app store If you add the option of pdf export and font import it will be more or less a pro comic tool Even if you dont want to add high resolution export capabilities Try to make an update and start earning some credibility Update comment Well Some folks did a great app for real artists out there that want to create on their iPads Go buy STRIP DESIGN if you want to create your next comic or manga on your iPad If you just want a toy to play with your pics this maybe for you     It s just a toy updated comment A.Kinng

First off plasq has listened to the reviews and comments and added more export options This is a great indicator that niggling issues with the software will not go unaddressed Comic Life is not the kind of app that will sit on the App Store for three years with no updates This especially good because some features need more updates Hence the rating is five stars instead of four A finger is not a mouse Those teeny tine points to grab with the mouse are much harder to grab with your finger How about big rings instead Also selecting the item to grab is difficult when there are many items clustered together Often I am trying to edit text and instead my finger pressing is stretching the text instead All in all though the software is easy to use I had a comic together in no time I even use this app to make serious photo mosaics Don t let the colorful themes fool you This app is powerful                     Nice transition of the desktop but not perfect DeusFever

You can not write cartoons or anything and you have to use real pictures     Eh jhakk

This could easily be a five star app but the auto save is unreliable and the email feature shuts the app down If I can t convert to PDF and mail the app is of little use If PDFs could be opened in iBooks that would be a good work around As it is the app is fun but serves no practical purpose Will change the rating if an update corrects these errors or offers a save to iBook option             Could easily be a five star app Mercenary Writer

There are some UI bugs such as picture handlebars moving points do not align with the picture sometimes when the screen has been zoomed in or out Needs more than the two or three choices of document size Should be able to create any document size             Some UI bugs Jus d'Orange

Fun and useful app We re using it to make promotional posters But you cannot export to Comic Life 2 on the Mac which for us makes it greatly less useful Revised This is an amazing app Very deep in features great UI actually useful unlike some other comic apps This power in this app on my iPad 1 is equal to high end graphic desktop apps a few years ago This is a pro app and a bargain                     Nice app but not able to work with desktop version OnTheEast

Great program though it wont save anything that i create using additional layouts or templates A manual save button would be helpful because the auto save feature is unreliable         Add A Save Button Maura_W

I love this app and use it frequently No problems on the latest version                     Fantastic PixTkr

There are a lot of apps out there for making comics and I have many of them Comic Life for iPad kind of sets the bar for ease of use and intuitive interface You can do a LOT with this app but it s never very hard to figure out how This update added high resolution JPG and PDF output via email which is fantastic if you ever want to take your comics from the iPad into the real world of printed books The word bubbles panel frames and internally generated text is super crisp in the high resolution output though the images to tend to soften a bit Still it s good enough resolutions print at standard comic sizes A great update for a great app Highly recommended                     Fantastic app for making comics SFDex

I think this is as great maybe better than the desktop version When I only owned the desktop version I made maybe one comic every 2 months or a poster or something Now I make a couple a week I make comics of events for the non profit board I belong to Everyone loves it I love how easy it is and fun You want to put a photo in a box tap on the box wham select your photo it s that easy                     fantastic fun i use it all the time Kayakbabe yawls

Nice in itself but I wanted to open a comic life made on a computer on this using email and it opens up on safari and says safari cannot open I know Safari can t open I bought it hoping I could work on my homework on the go but instead I can t use it for anything useful really Now I am stuck with an app I don t need and seven dollars out of my wallet Really think about it before buying     It s ok Isabelle.Vbck

Like the comic style It can create the effect I want I like it                     Good App RxU_II

Like it                     Good app Bad Watch

This app doesn t deserve the same name as the desktop version Crashes are least of it s shortcomings Poorly designed templates Way overpriced Without crashes and with some templates from it s big brother then and only then would it be worth a couple bucks So ignore their comparison to Comic Life That is NOT what this app is Look at the sample images and know those show it as good as it gets In other words don t be fooled by the good reviews     Disappointing Huntsville

I ve used Comic Life on my mac and had hoped that the Comic Life iPad app would work similarly Unfortunately no I spent a couple of minutes familiarizing myself with the iPad controls and looked over the helpful tutorial that came with the app before attempting to try my hand at creating my own comic As soon as I tried to interact with anything on the blank canvas the app crashed Unfortunately it wasn t a one off issue this happened each and every time I tried to use the app After several tries I gave up and contacted support This review may be updated after support contacts me         Not ready for primetime Boston Jp

When I first saw this application I thought it would be great Now I really wish I hadn t wasted my money and that s at half price if I paid full I d be livid Run do not walk away from this app It suffers from the following problems Price As in way over Interface I m not sure who rated it wonderful but they clearly have access to better drugs than I Buggy Take great care to blink slowly and for heavens sake don t sneeze Compatibility Absolutely incompatible with the desktop version Final review If you have never used the desktop version and they fix the crashing nature of the app it s worth 99 cents     Terrible JustAwful68

This app was awesome Now crash crash crash Please fix Wait on purchasing this till it s fixed I really liked it too     Ugh M'Chel

I have Comic Life on my Mac and it is just as good on the iPad You have TONS of fonts and background colors to choose from and a variety of templates as well The built in reader is amazing you can read the comics you made with the same realistic page turning animations as in iBooks Overall a really good app                     Very good RGB!3E9

I like this app This app can migrant the comic from my mac and I can work on it it s a good app I love it                     Great App kennethchung1
