Inky Pen on Switch

[LuchaSloth]

I feel like not too many people use this app...so, I'm kind of interested to see if anyone here does.

Personally, I love it.

I admit, it started off a bit lacking when I first installed it in late 2018...but, they've added some great content in recent months. I've always been a Valiant fan, so it's great to have a ton of Valiant content like Bloodshot, Ninjak, Shadowman, etc. I'm also digging the classic Ninja Turtle comics, Ghostbusters, Alien, Predator, Transformers, Godzilla, etc. I feel like the offerings on Inky Pen aren't necessarily what I would actively seek out if I was going to buy comics...which is something I still do. So, I actually like that quite a bit. I've been forced to read some things that I otherwise might have missed, and I'm really enjoying the variety. I've even been getting into some of the manga on there, which is not something I've ever spent much time with before.


Honestly...it would be nice to have an app on Switch like ComiXology...in which you can buy additional comics. But, since the Switch is so lacking in apps of any variety...I love the fact that we have something like Inky Pen at all. I read comics almost every night before bed these days...and the Switch has a surprisingly nice screen for it.

It technically does offer what I need but I just prefer not to use it, or at least not right now.

I'm just fine reading comics on my desktop/phone via ComiXology (I really want it on the switch but considering we don't even have netflix that'll be asking for too much lol) so I'm in no rush to try out Inky Pen until I decide to carry my switch everywhere I go... does the app allow for offline reading?

does the app allow for offline reading?

It does. You can download issues.

I use the Manga Storm app or I buy physical copies of manga/comics so I was mildly interested in Inky Pen but not enough to download and try it just yet. I might give it a go since you said they've added more content to it and there's an option to read material offline. Manga Storm enables you to read content offline and it's truly a lifesaver when I'm on the go (and pre-COVID when I traveled).
