(And you can check out Zappos and Audible for ways that standalone sites reskin regular Amazon listings.)īut how fast can that happen? Well, here’s today’s tweet thread:ġ/ Update from the team on the Comixology 4.0 rollout:Ģ/ We want to take a moment to address the transition to our new app & comics webstore experience. The new Comixology is based on the same code base Amazon uses for everything, and while the UX at present is very disappointing, Comixology/Amazon coders are used to working with it and can hopefully upgrade the interface. That original Comixology code base was a thing of beauty if you were a comics fan – not only did it have information on all the credits for every comic book, but it gave recommendations and kept collections organized in a way that comics folks knew and understood.īut it was literally not up to Amazon’s code. The rollout from a UX experience has been a PR disaster, however, today’s Twitter thread gives a clearer explanation of why it happened: Comixology had its own code base, unlike other stand-alone Amazon purchases like Audible and Zappos.
We’ve covered the problems with the new Comixology experience extensively, as well as recommended other services for digital comics. However, there are still a lot of issues. In response to fans who voiced complaints on Twitter, including comedian and comic book writer Patton Oswalt, Comixology acknowledged the reported technical issues, promising to implement additional changes.Among the features that users have been complaining about that still exist: Guided View is still available in the Comixology app, (and works in some desktop situations as well.)Īlso, you can still see all your purchases by going to your Account page, although it will be made easier to find since so many people complained it was missing. Many pre-ordered comics from users’ libraries were also removed as a result of the update.
Users who are based outside of America were unable to access their accounts, as Comixology collided with Amazon. Subscribers reported that there was no longer an ability to zoom in on text, making words unreadable. When the digital comics platform implemented an update referred to as Comixology 4.0, subscribers were faced with a variety of issues rendering their memberships unusable. Now, Comixology has announced in a series of tweets that the platform is rolling out new features to resolve problems which users have experienced. After the digital comics subscription Comixology updated their interface to incorporate their parent company Amazon, a series of technical issues occurred, causing Comixology subscribers to voice outrage on social media.
