Comic Strip - Comic Maker Reviews

by Sky Rainbow 🌈✨

ComicStrip creates a beautiful comic effect, but I can’t get it to work properly. I’ve tried ComicStrip several times. I thought since I got a new phone, maybe it would work now. NOPE. The problem is that I add photos but they come in oversized (I can only see a small crop of the image in the frame), and when I resize it, the image gets pushed to the left. So I only get part of the image in the frame and the rest is blank space. I try and try to move the image to the center but it’s stuck. I’m writing this review in hope the developer will fix this issue because I really want to use ComicStrip!! I don’t even know how the rest of ComicStrip works because I can’t even get an image in the frame properly to do anything else with it. Please fix this!!

ComicStrip looks really cool, and probably the most well thought out and payed out comic book app I have found. However, picture editing is very hard, often times they disappear when you rotate them, they load in sideways and off center, ComicStrip allows me to move the pictures around but it won’t leave them in place. The tips are absolutely obnoxious as ComicStrip wont respond when tips are up, they stay up for a really long time and you cant get rid of them. ComicStrip is constantly crashing. Good idea, absolutely awful execution.

In principle it can be cool; however, I suggest you look at ComicStrip “Unfold” as a glimpse of how the photos can be dragged into place vs your forcing a crop...

Secondly, your Text Box is weird and does not type in the talking bubbles, it writes in separate boxes which don’t resize into the text bubbles...

Perhaps offer a partnership for shared tech or something... That way your app can be better and theirs can have a toggle to comic if the user chooses.

I don’t understand how ComicStrip has good reviews. The images I select can’t be edited or resized to be used. It’s a mess and has a fraction of the functionality of other similar apps I’ve used in the past. Right now, it’s basically unusable for me. The long tap function is not working at all and I wouldn’t know about the rest because I can’t get past that step.

Very slow, glitchy and crashes frequently in the most basic of functions. Surprisingly very few comic book type templates and manipulates your image once imported so it no longer resembles your original. I want to use photos from my gallery to design a new story but ComicStrip freezes for an inordinate amount of time for you to take a live photo which if you do, ComicStrip crashes. Loading pre-existing photos is also painful and adjustment don't really do much so the final product is not, at least in my experience, worth the time spent creating it. Deleting after this review.

This is a good app but it’s just that I can’t make a whole book! And I want too but I cant’t so can they approve this part so that it is way cooler, and for the backgrounds it covers the whole strip not just one particular box I want covered, and what if you want to draw your pictures!? Can’t you do that too!? So please fix those things.

I am a little disappointed with this. I’ve read reviews saying that ComicStrip is easy to work with, so I used it. However, whenever I try making a comic strip, there’s this weird effect that takes place. I understand that sometimes that effect is useful to use, and it adds more of a realistic feeling in a comic. However, I can’t seem to get rid of it. If there could be a setting to change the filter that it puts on automatically, then ComicStrip would be great.

ComicStrip could be good if it worked out the bugs. No way to adjust the cartoon graphic in the beginning if it make the pictures look to dark. Cancel button doesn’t work. Concept good but overall performance needs much more work. I will give two stars because the idea is good, but it is pretty much worthless till they fix all the bugs.

I like the functionality but they need to fix some bugs. I find myself having to redo each project because ComicStrip just goes off, and another problem is when rotating photos sometimes the photo won’t move properly.

Ok so I was so excited when I found this i have had an idea for a comic book for so long and I have had trouble with making one and when I found ComicStrip i was excited and I downloaded it and when I did I chose the layout of my book but when I did it started loading and loading and loading and loading. I don’t know if this is my phone or ComicStrip but if you get it b aware that this might happen. -_-

the cropping in ComicStrip is terrible, can’t even fit the picture properly in the box otherwise it crops out half the image and leaves the other half off center. It also has this weird filter that it puts on pictures after you select them to make them cartoony, but for real pictures it just makes them look terrible and grainy! Though I do like the options available for text bubbles, far better than most apps. Wish they had more options like for thought bubbles, round bubbles, and maybe an option to change the background color of the bubble

This really is an amazing concept. But there are quite a few bugs such as cancel buttons not working when you share. However, you should give the option of creating multiple panels like an actual comic book and not just one page and make it printable to standard size printing paper.

by LogLogGaming

I say ComicStrip was good exept for the fact you can only make one strip of a comic at a time, I think you should be able to make full comics but if this isn’t added, it’s fine with me! (Maybe you could share the comics too :P)

by Choyboy

I was in the middle of editing and it crashed. I wish there was a back button to somehow undo my last edit. Overall, fun app. 4 stars for now

by Georgian...me

I might have found some bugs with ComicStrip that you guys should fix. The first one is when you try to share it and text message it to someone and you change your mind and wanna press cancel on iMessage when sharing your comic book it doesn’t work.
The cancel button for iMessage doesn’t work. When you share it. Please fix that. For iMessage.

Developer has obviously worked on ComicStrip since my first review and deserves credit for the improvements. Compared to other apps that you have to pay for, ComicStrip is well worth a download.
With a couple more tweaks to the UI and perhaps a few more editing options, this would be a first class app well worth a purchase.
It is beyond me that there are OTHER DEVELOPERS attempting to sell apps in ComicStrip Store WITHOUT providing ANY trials or even presentations of what their cash cow actually does.
Then contrast those like Ronan Stark who put out their app free of charge and get flamed for imperfections.
Hopefully the developer of Comic Strip will continue the work on ComicStrip, providing a great product in a category so woefully under populated and needed.
I’d buy it....
Thanks for ComicStrip !

I have always been looking for a comic strip app that wasn’t complicated at all:) this has everything I could imagine on it! If you like creating story’s this is ComicStrip for you:)

by Deltron IOS

I didn’t like that you can’t centre the image,to resize the image start on the up left corner,should be on the center because this cut some part of the picture ,but overall I love

by DJBKBS

The user interface is inadequate; it doesn’t offer much capability or functionality. The effects are low grade. I wanted to like ComicStrip but it’s purpose is unclear for making comic book storyboards.

by KingLegend358

Really helpful using it for my homework and it’s been amazing the only thing it needs would be if they could have a layout with more boxes
