Except it’s actually called Comicblendr. Someone else beat me to the “Webcomix” name in the app store. But their app kind of sucks, and Comicblendr doesn’t, so there should be no confusing the two.
In any event, the experiment that began so long ago has finally yielded an app, vindicating my original performance-oriented, client-agnostic design. Building the app was, in fact, a breeze, taking not more than a week’s worth of actual effort. And that’s even including the time spent doing things that I have no innate talent for, such as creating graphic resources and the like. I can only blame myself and chronic procrastination for it taking so long to come up with an app.
I invite you to give it a try; all things being equal I think Webcomix works better as a native iPhone app than it does as a webapp. If nothing else it’s certainly a lot of fun:
If you reply to this post with a comment I will gladly provide you with a promotional code good for a free copy of the app (until I run out of codes). All I ask in return is that you give it a positive review in iTunes. Assuming, of course, that you think it deserves one.
Do also note that if you have an innate talent for graphic design and would like to make a contribution to Comicblendr, you are welcome to do so. There is, in fact, an ongoing contest to find some better icon and splash-screen artwork. Full details are available on the app’s Facebook page.
You can find Comicblendr on iTunes at the following URL:

Update
A brief user-guide for Comicblendr is available here. This guide discusses some “hidden” features that aren’t immediately obvious within the app.
I went looking for a comic aggregator app and after looking at app after app with poor feedback and terrible UI I found yours.
Holy crap, just what I wanted.
And written in oz too.
Love it.
Thanks for the feedback. If you like the app, please consider taking the time to give it a positive review in iTunes as well.
Would you be so kind as to send me a promo code, please? I’ve seen some of your answers on SO and I’m curious to put software with, um, names?
Promo code sent. Enjoy.
I have used webcomix and I do not love it. When I came your app, I was hesitate to pay for it for fear of it being similar to others. I would love a promo code and in return I will give a review!
One code for one review, sounds fair to me. Code sent.
I’d be happy to give it a try and review it, please send me a code.
Thanks
Sent.
My daughter bought the comicblndr app on the iPad and loves it. All of a sudden it doesnt work and is stuck on the home screen. Any ideas? Thanks!
Yes, I just noticed the issue a few minutes ago. There is a rogue process running on the hosted server component that appears to be starving the legitimate process of resources to the point where it can no longer service requests.
So basically, there’s a complete service outage right now, and I’m working to try and isolate the problem and fix it.
Okay, I believe the problem is sorted now. Please let me know if you still encounter any issues.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
All fixed! You just made an 11 year old very happy! Thanks!
