The level of backlash was really not deserved.

I tried the app a while back. Quite a while back, now. I want to say 2011 or 2012, which was when I started really experimenting with multiple mobile and 3/4g devices.
I was kind of appalled by the lack of actual content that was available. I just remember being frustrated as hell because I'd type in a title like Hatter M or Ronin, and nothing would come up. Or I'd type in Superman, and there would be a ton of old, out of order issues.
Maybe I'll check it out again, but I certainly won't be using a subscription service that doesn't even offer Marvel or DC. I heard about this. Worthless for a reader like myself. I've played around with tons of totles from tons of publishers and the only stuff I want to read is DC, Vertigo, Marvel, Dark Horse, and occasionally IDW or Titan.
