The reviews are already extremely positive from bloggers and media outlets:
"If you’re anything like me, you used to read household name comics such as Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield; the list goes on. Well, if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic and want a digital fix for your comic craving, GoComics has you covered." - Stephen Yuen, AndroidSpin.com
"Today calls for a minor celebration, GoComics app has been released for Windows Phone 7 and 8; bringing the full archives of the most beloved comics to your phone; including Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes (my absolute favorite), Peanuts, Dilbert and many more. Even more important is the fact that the app was released for iOS, Android and Windows Phone simultaneously!" - Ali Al-Qudsi, MyNokiaBlog.com
"I’d wager one of the places a lot of comic book fans got their start was with the comics in the Sunday newspaper. If you’re a fan of Sunday comics in your local paper, you might want to check out a new app from GoComics that is available for Android now." - Shane McGlaun, AndroidCommunity.com
"As far as syndicates go, Universal Uclick has always been a leader in the mobile space. They were the first to have a mobile friendly website and one of the first to release iPhone apps for various comic titles. But I failed to realize that they didn’t have a native mobile app available. They’ve now released a new (free!) native app for iOS, Android and Windows phones for the 250+ comic features found on GoComics.com." - Alan Gardner, DailyCartoonist.com
