Too many undetected comics.
I already submitted a similar feature request but I just scanned around 100 comics in and it is ABSOLUTELY PAINFUL. So many comics are unrecognized, it defeats the point of using HipComic. I had to have two apps open at the same time to catalogue my comics. HipComic and LeagueofComicGeeks. Their scanning technology (or more specifically, their catalogue) is VASTLY superior. When evaluating which app to use, it was your pricing data that caused me to opt to use your app. Then I became a repeat purchaser. So my whole reason for being part of your ecosystem was predicated on BEING ABLE TO CATALOGUE AND PRICE MY COLLECTION. This needs to be addressed with greater urgency than it seems it is given. It would be different if I scanned the comics and week or two later the unidentified comics were updated. Nothing changes, and today I went in and did some more manual updates to past additions. Why are so many comics not in the database? Perhaps I underappreciate the challenges, but if another app has them, it stands to reason yours should/could as well. If League refines their pricing data, I will probably move my entire collection there.

Hi Ken, thank you for reaching out and taking the time to share this. We completely understand how frustrating it is to scan your collection and encounter so many ‘unrecognized comics’ error messages, especially when cataloging and pricing are the primary reasons you’re using the app.
Please know that we are currently aware of this issue and we’re actively working on addressing this as soon as possible. If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate it if you could share a list (even partial) of the comics that weren’t recognized during your recent scans. This would help us directly with our investigation.
Thanks again for your patience and for sticking with us while we sort this out.
