Sort by date feature that actually sorts Comics by release date
Where did my bar on the home page go showing me all the series Iāve recently read? The latest update makes it much more difficult for me to pick up a series where I left off.
There are times that I like to reread a favorite comic book, or series, but Iāve noticed that re-reading/restarting a book is a pretty annoying task. Either you have to go into the book, and manually scroll back to the first page, or you have to scroll through every book youāve read on the MyDC page to find the book to mark as unread. It would be nice if the āmark unreadā option was more easily accessible like it is in Marvel Unlimited.
After the latest update I can no longer tap ādownloadsā and view all the books I have in a larger view like I used to. (Still works for comic history for whatever reason.) I use the app a lot on the go and depend on my downloaded content for that.
Having said that, my phone is aging and starting to struggle with the app generally. So Iām not sure if the download menu thing is across the board or just a āmeā problem.
Might be better place for the help area but how am i using 3GB of Data when I donāt download comics? Is there a setting i have on thatās causing this?
The app is terrible at getting rid of data no longer needed
The app will continue to eat up more and more disk space.
Going through all that unneeded data also makes the app slower and slower.
I Uninstall and then Install the app frequently
But
You lose downloads that way
I had save cache while reading on and i had alot of seemingly unnecessary dataā¦ this may help you if you go through settings
I try eliminating cache and data first
But if that doesnāt work
I do as above.

I did the clear cache and history and that helped alot. I use an ipad the latest update but I was surprised how much space the cache/history usedā¦ do i need to have that feature on for the app to work properly is my question?
If so, then it seems i will have to clear the cache every week
Itās an iPhone 8 running the latest iOS 14 update (kinda donāt think this phone will survive a switch to iOS 15).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting the phoneā¦still no luck. I think the cache is empty? It says image cache size 0mb but maybe Iām looking in the wrong placeā¦
So, Iād like an option to sub in app to specific comic runs. Take for instance the Harley Quinn (2021-). In the app, Iād like there to be an option for me to receive notifications when an issue is added so I can keep up to date with my pulls.
Iād also like an option for us to be able to mark comic issues or comic runs ourselves as having been read. For example, I may have read a certain issue somewhere else (paper copy or digital) or on a different application than the DC Infinite app (before it came out) and Iād like to be able to mark them as having been read so I can keep track of what I have read and what I need to read. Similar to how the comiXology and the Marvel Unlimited apps give that option. And also an option to archive them.
Iād love a better search in the app than how it is currently. Right now, when you search for (again, letās say Harley Quinn) the results are all jumbled. Thereās no option to see the most recent issues first, it just throws old and new all into a chaotic mix thatās not even in any sort of order. Itās frustrating. I want to be able to fine tune my searches.
As for this community website, please PLEASE make it ordered by most recent posts first. I see that you appear to have a ālatestā option on the search, but it DOES NOT WORK. I look in certain topics with the ālatestā selected on my search specifications and, hereās one that just happened, I get shown posts made back in 2019, that also have not been recently commented on. Thereās no reason that in 2021 I search for the most recent posts and I end up with posts from 2019 being the first result ahead of posts made THIS year.
Speaking of which, on this site, all my notifications for topic updates and new posts and watch party announcements come in a day late and a dollar short, so Iām always late to the party because Iām not notified in a timely manner. An example: I wanted to join a watch party but only got notified of it starting after it was over on the NEXT day, so I end up missing these things due to poor, late alerts.
Finally, please update with the latest issues in the app WHEN those issues are published. Weāre paying to read your comics digitally, paying, and when comics are released, they should also show up on the app same day.
Just overall: organization. Keeping things up to date. Better search. More options.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this! I really do love the app and hope to see it thrive even more. DC is one of my favorite comics publishers. In fact, if Iām remembering correctly, I think the first comic I read was a DC comic. I believe it was The Killing Joke. Iāve been hooked ever since.
Hey @MasterBruiseWayne! Thank you for the wonderful feedback; Iāve taken note of all of your suggestions for organization and search options on our list for our team to take a look at as soon as possible.
Regarding the community website and your search and notification issues; can you let me know what device(s) and browser(s) you are encountering these problems on? I am not able to replicate the search problem on my end and having this information will help our technical team look into this.
I am using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, software version 15.1, with Safari 15.1
Thanks for the additional information!
One other small suggestion: iāve noticed a number of featured collections, like the Black Label and Milestone imprint.
It would be great if someone could organize all of the Young Animal imprint box into a single showcase collection that could be saved to lists.
I read BUG when it came out years ago, but Iāve been reading Gerard wayās DOOM PATROL, and the advertisements in it (yes there are advertisements on the digital version in DC Universe infinite) make me want to read the other series under the imprint.
The same is true of the ABC imprint. Reading one makes me wanna read the rest.
How convenient would it be to have them all in one collection?
Thank you for your the suggestion! I totally see the appeal
When I joined DCUI, I found it really hard for me to change my profile picture and username. I tried asking Kelex but he/she/it was no help. I didnāt know I had to go to āMy DCā, or how to get there. It took me a few weeks before I figured out how to change my name and picture. I wish there was a way to change your username and picture right on the community page. Itās not as intuitive as one might think, especially for a newcomer.
Going off of this, I wish changing your pfp would be easier. It never works first try, and while it shows up on dcui after a few tries, it takes so many attempts for the pfp to show on the community
When it comes to my Samsung tablet, I have a same problem, when changing a picture in my avatar, I canāt even tell itās loaded til I learn a little trick, when changing avatar picture, look for a little flash of light and hit save, it should be there even if you donāt see it. Hope that help, same with the background picture.
