Hypedrive: New Comics Guide

I’ve been searching for an app that will just allow me to properly look at new comics releasing each week and create a pull list. Every single other app I’ve dealt with is either super glitchy, laggy, doesn’t even have all the new releases or just doesn’t work. This app is perfect for what I need and I’m glad I found it. My one thing which isn’t a complain as much as it is curiosity is in the profile section, it asks us what other dates are important to us and when I press on a few nothing happens. I assumed something would but they’re just there highlighted. I guess the information is obviously stored when we tap on them but I don’t know. Regardless, amazing app!!

Hypedrive is a good app that has the potential to be great with some tweaks and improvements. I’ve been using it for a few months and it is has been very helpful in putting together weekly pull lists. Cover art and descriptions are very helpful if you want to research and discover new titles. You can even search and follow writers and artists if you like. It’s also very user friendly. It took about seconds to learn how it works. All good stuff. There are a few negatives however. The “Hypedrive” pull list is just one continuous list that is hard to read. There should be a filter function to make it easier to read and organize by date. Also I’ve had a problem where I follow a title and certain issues get missed, while I unfollow a title and certain issues get left in the Hypedrive. Also, if you decide to follow a title but an issue is “Out Now,” that issue won’t be included on the Hypedrive. Finally, there needs to be a decision on trades. Either include them or don’t - but don’t go half way. Right now the information on trades is almost nonexistent. All in all, Hypedrive is a solid double or triple in the gap with the potential to be a homerun in the future. Keep up the good work.

I use this app regularly to keep up with which comics I want to order each month. Now it has a few problems. It won’t show you what’s coming up in a couple months until your at least a week into the current month which means you’ll be preordering a little later, but there is literally nothing to compare it to, so it’s kind of perfect just cause of that. This app, combined with Midtown Comics, means you can keep up with what you want and purchase comics easily.

Absolutely love this app. Only issue is when I follow a series it is not continuing to add future issues that weren't loaded when I follow initially? Noticing issues from comics I followed previously where new issues aren't being pulled so having to manual add. Is there a way to auto-pull all future issues? Thanks for the great app! Edit: Developer fixed issue above one day after I left the review. Talk about hotfix. Thank you so much for your work on the app!

Very nice app, well laid out and easy to find new releases. Some minor quibbles are that it would be great to tap on a cover image to get a full screen view of the cover. That would be much better than the smallish image size as it is now. Also some of the descriptive text is in the small size on an iPhone X. I would say it’s 6 point type, really too small to read unless you’re used to reading tiny type.
