The good:
- Having a decent Mac interface
- The ability to download issue information and covers on-line
- A reasonable price
The bad:
- There's no way to easily add multiple issues manually
- While you can do basic filtering, the list style interface won't hold up past a few hundred comics. A collapsing tree-view or more advanced filtering is desperately needed
- The demo only allows you to add 10 comics which isn't really enough to truly demo any cataloging program. I have a 3300+ comic collection and there's no way I'll buy a program without testing its speed.
- Their interface into the GCDB has issues. I looked up Iron Man and was only able to find about Series, while a direct GCDB query showed 86.
- A great deal of time in between updates shows new features are not a priority for the developer

Comics App. developing is not my main job. I spent so much spare time to develop and fix it. I have many ideas to make it better but I haven't time. I think $ 14.95 is the lowest price it could cost with those features. Try searching "Iron Man" without program limitations and you'll have your 86 results. if the application haven't limitations, it would be a freeware.
Thank you for understanding.

Solid features.
Really just needs internet enabled info retrieval to be a winner (as mentioned by several other reviewers).
A question for the developer: how does one add Cover Art, I've tried copy and pasting, dragging... no luck.
Using:
OSX 10.4.2
Q. ) How do you import covers, where do you get them?
A.) You can find some covers for your Comics App. into the GCD Site (http://www.comics.org), or you can retrieve from your comics book with a simple scan.
Very soon will start the Beta sign-Up for Comics 1.6.
Merry Christmas & Happy new Year.

I do have some minor issues with the product as well in regards to numbering. Story number makes me think of multiparter while issue number is just that. Issue number should appear on the main list screen not story number.
Please, if anybody knows or can contact GCD authors, please, report the possibility to connect Comics to that fabulous Archive.
Thanks
Comics 1.6 will have features you will appreciate very much, and I'm activating to make Comics App auto-retrieving informations from Website.
All suggestions about Comics app will be appreciated from me and the other Comics versions will include them.
Merry Christmas & Happy new Year

The software looks nice and it's a good idea. I was wondering if any of the following were in the To-Do list:
1.-Automatic Retrieval of Comic information from the UPC or from the title, including Cover scan
2.-Handling of other items, like Heroclix
2.-Price tracking of the numbers (I think for this and for #1 above the developer could strike a deal with comicspriceguide.,com where if the user has an account there the program can exchange information with their database)
If you know one, please, let me know.
Thanks.

As the author said, he wants encouragement to continue with the program so here's another voice..... keep up the good work
If I can ask for a feature, the ability to import from a spreadsheet (Excel perhaps?). I am not a programmer so I do not know how difficult this would be but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask right.
Finally somthing to replace the Hypercard stack I made ages ago... though I would still love to se HC in OS X...but that is another story.....
