iCollect Comic Books - Keys Reviews

by Jason Gre

I entered close to 8000 books very time consuming it would not scan all books and when scan worked title came up incorrectly. I was recently kicked out and tried to log back in and didn’t recognize my name and password requested link to reset password and got message email was not on record. I tried emailing them for assistance no reply from them. Days of work down the drain. I would not recommend iCollectComicBooks to anyone.

iCollectComicBooks has so many bugs it’s ridiculous . I’ve spent months entering my collection into iCollectComicBooks . I purchased the upgrade so I had unlimited entries . I’ve entered a little over 10,000 comics and all of a sudden I can’t save any new entries . Also none of the covers show up on the display of the book . I can’t tell you how many times I’ve entered a book and it won’t automatically show up in the series I entered it to be in . Also the comics randomly won’t save numerical correct in the series , Frustrating. When you have a problem and you send an e-mail for help these people never answer . They do not stand behind their product. I do not recommend iCollectComicBooks to anyone serious about collecting comics .

iCollectComicBooks works pretty well, great when it works and there’s no lagging, freezing, or other issues... lately I’ve been having trouble but before that it worked well! Like incredibly well! I recommend it if your testing it out not in a rush or using it for anything professionally because if you run into the issues I been recently having it wouldn’t be good for work.

You have to pay TEN DOLLARS just to scan barcodes more than about 15 times (which is a free app in itself and costs practically nothing for these devs to implement and most books pre 90’s don’t have a barcode to scan anyway) and to edit something in their awful database if there’s a mistake in the year, title , etcetera. Also, you add the comic to the database if it’s not already in there. If it is there, it’s only because the last person to buy that book had to add it. Basically you pay them for things that should be free, and essentially do their job for them. You guys could at least add all of the issues of X-Men Vol. 2

I have a lot of comics to scan. 3 things need improving in that process. 1. Don’t make me hit plus every time. Keep it in scan mode after a save with option to exit. 2. Auto save. 3. Scan window doesn’t work. I achieve scans mostly with the bc outside the scan window. Might as well just give a clear picture of the comic with no stencil overlay.

Of course i bought the pro app. Looking forward to managing my collection. After further use and if an update comes with these changes to eliminate extra steps in my loop of thousands of comics, I’d say more stars wold be warranted.

Doesn’t put your comics in order or allow you to move them. I got this so I wouldn’t get duplicates. But when I look or search for something it is very hard to find in my collection. Unfortunately I haven’t found anything else. If there is a good app out there to really organize your comics please share with me. I have thousands of comics

They dialed up the sensitivity for the barcode scanning and it is better but now too sensitive. I know. Goldilocks. But this is so fast it takes me a couple times to move the camera in place as it captures so fast. Also, the old search was much nicer scrolling. I do like the ability to look up an issue. We also lost the pre-populated condition options. Lastly, I’ve no desktop view any longer. That seems to be just gone for now.

iCollectComicBooks is a great idea but they need to expand their data base, it’s frustrating to take all the time entire in my collection only to find out that they don’t have every book in all the different runs. Also being able to check off multiple books in a run all at once would cut down on time when entering in a collection.

by Richscomics

Great app. Less then it’s competition and is more user friendly. Does glitch sometimes. For example entered 30 books and next time I went in the were gone but would still recommend.

I like iCollectComicBooks compared to the others the only thing I’d like to see implemented ,is a value sum wallet so we know what the total value of our collection is. Also maybe an upgraded scanning system it’s fast but unless the lighting is absolutely perfect it’s blurry

I really appreciate all of the work that was put into iCollectComicBooks, but the wishlist is driving me crazy. Can you set it up so that you can select multiple items from a search, or at least display a list that shows your recent searches? It is very frustrating to have to repeatedly retype the same title to select multiple issues of the same comic.

Thanks

Does a great job organizing and spectacular job displaying the collection! Looks like the team does occasionally updates in iCollectComicBooks . Would like more sorting options in certain locations. Would like to see some specific categories designed for HC or Paperbacks. Great start to building iCollectComicBooks.

My collection of comics is getting so ridiculous that I’ve accidentally bought some items more than once (thinking I needed it)... now the process of checking what I have/need only takes a few seconds, and I always have it with me on my phone.

Love iCollectComicBooks . Have been using it for over a year and any issue I have had were quickly fixed. It’s easy to use and lets you control what data you enter if you like.
Update: 2 years later and still working great. Still love it.

Before using iCollectComicBooks, I had to resort to writing down each comic I had in my notebook but since I lost it, I had to start all over and keep in my mind I have well over 700 comics so it wasn’t going to be easy. Luckily I found iCollectComicBooks and it’s been a breeze. Well worth the $10 for the premium use.

The only thing I would change is how the listing functions.

Instead of just alphabetical, mixing titles together, alphabetize the list further by title as well.

Example; currently Spawn and Superman are listed together under S. It would be nice to see a filter where Spawn and Superman are listed in their own title group.

Ok, so it took a while to enter all my comics into iCollectComicBooks, but the format was simple to use and the end results are awesome! Recently, I was asked to look for certain cover prices, and iCollectComicBooks saved me from having to search through all of my books by hand. I highly recommend iCollectComicBooks!

iCollectComicBooks works well and was very easy to use. The more users it has, should also improve the experience since it's a collection of all users input. It's a bit time consuming to build a collection, even with this apps help. So be prepared.

Suggestions to sort it:
1.) Allow people to alter the view on the desktop app (like: icon size changing or list view)
2.) Change "series" to "volume", with numeric Data entry (too often do I see inaccurate series data, also I see personal data filled in here too)
3.) Allow peoples comments to be seen on main page, under where it says series (have it pull from the personal tab, so if doesn't affect others)
4.) Change variant to fill with Letters automatically
5.) Have same name format (surname order).
6.) Make publishers universal (ex. no image and image comics)
7a.)Maybe it's too costly, but have someone or ones check data entry (especially if someone edits someone's previous data).
b.)Remove misspelt names and publishers

I don't know if it's helpful, but thank you.

I had a big problem recently with iCollectComicBooks freezing or crashing on me. Followed the instructions on the FAQ section where it says to delete and reinstall. Did so, logged in to my account and all 500+ books I entered are gone. This is super disappointing being that I paid for iCollectComicBooks. This is the only app I’ve ever paid for and am very frustrated with this situation. Please help/fix.

After decades of sitting in boxes in a closet, I started using iCollectComicBooks to catalog the comics I hadn’t touched since the 80’s. It’s easy to use and shows me what’s been hidden away for years.
It would be nice if metadata about each issue could be pulled from an online database (especially a rough idea on current value). Maybe that will appear in a future version.

I downloaded iCollectComicBooks in hopes to have a better way of cataloging my collection, and unfortunately found that it was not able to find a large number of comics I own in its database. It did well on newer issues and series, but seems to not be as comprehensive a database as I need. Manually entering each issue is what I was hoping to avoid, and I’ll unfortunately have to renew my search for a complete comic cataloging solution.
